I thought the band who made that "Barbie Girl" song was from Danmark or somewhere around there

It's (it was ?) a Danish-Norwegian band.

Most Polish men have no hair

Funny but you're generalizing ;)

There are German songs which can make a stranger to the language cry.

Maybe they realize how life can be sad while listening to German... ;) kidding (i don't find the language horrible personally)

The ANGLO-SAXONS??? They even speak a german dialect for f*** sake!!!

Erm...English is the most "latin" of all the Germanic languages. It's said that between 1/3 and 2/3 of the English language comes from French (on the other hand, French is considered to be the most Germanic of all the Latin languages...how funny our dear Europe is ! ^^).

Just want to say that English doesn't sound like German even if both are classified as Germanic languages.

that is all well and fine and of course they should all enrich each other. When they stay at home, that is!

Said by a boy whose country used to attack its neighbours in order to dominate the whole continent (and, why not, the entire world) :)

Other cultures are great but they are great in the places they were created...

Said by a boy whose country has its own emigration name : Polonia :)

Please try to restrain your aggression next time though

He must be frustrated, ya know... ;P

german is much more difficult because you have to learn each specific word for each individual meaning

+ a difficult grammar

Classes with mostly turks are low level in every study

It's more a matter of education than intelligence.

I don't think so!
We have children of the fourth generation here in Berlin which are even worse than the first generation...uneducatable!

So your theory is that they must be too stupid to learn as every other "normal" German students ?
If their parents don't educate them well, then THEY are the ones to blame, not the kids.
It's a problem of culture, nothing to do with being smart or not.

I'm not defending these kids, i'd rather defend their teachers, but i just don't see the point of saying that they are nothing more than stupid asses, and you must understand that if these kids act like that in classes today, why would their kids be different. It IS a matter of education, culture. The problem is not the kids, it's the parents. We have the same kind of troubles in France too.

You have to realize that the Turks feel superior to anyone

Really ? That's news to me, i've never heard that before...
I don't want to say you're a liar or something, but being a Greek (you are, right ?), can you be objective when talking about Turkey ?...history facts :)

They feel deep contempt for the Westerners

The Westerners in general feel sometimes superior too...

But...it's as I said already the third or fourth generation

And as i said :

if these kids act like that in classes today, why would their kids be different

These kids will probably become parents...if they educate their kids the way they were themselves educated, things won't change.

their parents and their grand parents were already born here and got to school here.
And NOTHING has changed...that is not normal!

Yeah, i agree, not normal, but somewhat logical, unfortunately.

Should we just accept it, just shrug and say: "Well..it's their culture!"

No, i will never accept it, but i prefer to be sure about whose fault it really is.

What do you advise?

Educate their parents, make them understand how the society works (not that simple, i know).

PS: And ignoring a good school education, ignoring the importance of learning the language of the host country, ignoring the need of good, respectful behaviour IS stupid!

They don't ignore all of that, they just don't realize. I guess that most of them don't live in beautiful houses with gardens in flowers. I guess their parents have crappy works that take them most of their time (it means less time to educate their kids) and that pay nuts.

It's a difficult problem, i know that finding solutions isn't easy either.

Even from the 16th century

French fought as allies of Ottoman Empire in Crimea in 1854

In 1920 French helped Kemal

I'm sorry i wasn't born then :))
My point of view is not made on history facts.

And still today they support the entrance of Turkey into EU

I'm not sure about this one... There are many debates about the entrance of Turkey in the EU and i'd say that there are not more pros than cons...

For me this turkophilia is unexplained and not justified at all.What common does France have with Turkey?Maybe you view them as exotic I do not know

Are we that Turkophile ?... I think we are Turkophile as much as we are Hellenophile ;)

one real french only

Hum...what ?
All of them were born and raised in France, they ARE French. Many of these black players are actually from the French Antilles (French West Indies as they say in the dictionary).

One "real" French, what does that mean ?! If you mean Whites, then i see at least 3 players among those you gave me : Ribéry, Rothen and Toulalan.

the german look german for me

HAHA, yeah, sure ! Gomez, Trochowski, Podolski, Klose, Kuranyi... So German ! ;))

France is known for being a land of immigration ;)

but in france is to many

So do you think we should not allow these super players to play for France because of their skin color or names ? I don't think so :)

good for france !!!!!!!!

Of course it is, we are world vice-champion, and among the favourites to win the Euro in one month (yoohoo, can't wait !!)

do you think it is fair if leo messi play for spain just because argentina was spanish before?

florent malouda born in "cayenne" (10 klm from paris)

Lilian Thuram guadeloupe (next to marselle)

Cayenne is in Guyane which IS a French territory.
Guadeloupe, yeah, as i told you, French Antilles, still France.

As for Makelele, his dad was a professional football player and they moved to France (France didn't "recruit" him...). Viera left Senegal at the age of 8.

zidan (the argelians are more proud of him than the french)

I think you meant "Algerians"... You find it weird, seriously ?... Do you know another big star coming from Algeria ?.. Zidane was one of the best player in the world, of course they, the Algerians, were proud of him. And in case you didn't know, Zidane was among the most "beloved" French during a few years... see, we were proud of him too. But i don't really see your point here. Deco (Barça) is Brazilian and currently playing for Portugal. Marcos Senna is currently playing for your country, but isn't he Brazilian ?...

Hatem Ben Arfa (nice french name)

We have a big North Africa minority, yeah, and he's French, yeah.

Have you ever seen the Netherlands' U19 team ? They have many black players. What about Davids, Kluivert, Seedorf, van Bronckhorst and the youngs Emanuelson, Melchiot, Heitinga, de Jong, , Babel, Vermeer, Zuiverloon, Sno, Drenthe, etc. Most of them are from the Dutch Antilles, like most of the French Blacks are from the French Antilles.

It really looks odd if for a central european team nearly only non-whites play...
How is that fair and equal to the native whites???

Do you think black players have more chances to join the national team ?... I don't think so :) They are very good, that's enough.

good luck this euro 2008

Thanks, good luck to Spain :)

What is the opinion of majority of french people regarding black players? anyone?

There are people joking about it, others who don't care about where the players are from, and racists who would like a "quota", 1 black, 2 whites, for example, how stupid and narrow minded...

I agree...that looks odd too...

Dunno if it's odd...they are excellent players though :))

Hehe...Many Poles claim Klose and Podolski! Should that mean Poland was a colony???

Miss Poland 2000 name was Justyna Bergmann... does that mean Germany was a Polish colony ??? ;)))

Do you really think it okay if a predominantly white country has barely white players in their national team??? Nothing wrong with that???

Nope. Do you think we choose our national players depending on their skin color or names ?... The idea of a quota is totally stupid, i'm sorry. If these black players are better than their white fellows, why should we choose the white players ?... Because they are white ? Now that's what we commonly call racism :)

Did the native french lost their skill or their interest suddenly

Zidane is as native as Coupet. Both were born and raised in the same country, they speak the same language, went to school, have been living in the same culture.

Touchè

Touché, hey French word ^^ And guess what ? Written in black (again..) ;P

Why is it okay for blacks to have quotas???

There are no quotas for Blacks in football... Then it's fair. If a white player is good enough to join the national team, he'll join it.

That is the meaning of quotas...getting a chance even if you are still lacking!

Lacking ?... World champion in 1998, European champ in 2000, World vice-champion in 2006, among the favourites for the Euro 08...lacking what ? :)

If our team was bad, i would understand what you say... "we're bad because we prefer to choose black players even if they are not so good, instead of great white players..." But that's not the case, we are among the best in the world, aren't we ? :)

PS: Doesn't France even have a quota for french songs played in the radio???

Never heard of that... but we should...too many US scheisse sounds... ;)))

Dunno... maybe because many of our black players play in very good European championships (mostly England)... Whites are in our Ligue 1... Then, it's foreign championships fault ^^

why in europe is not to many black managers?

Maybe because today's coaches were players in the past...and that at their time, they were not many Blacks...
Things are changing. Valenciennes, Ligue 1 club, has a black coach who is very good. Even in rugby, we have 3 coaches for our national team (LoL), one of them is black too.
