would you help us out here by telling us what you mean by thum normal threads?
if you're wondering why i'm lacking vitriol, it's because i was just in paris for a week. a few observations...
they really do smell
they are easily intimidated (had fun on that one ha...)
whomever thinks they are unusually rude has never been to paris. or new jersey.
the place is filthy. rodin's statues are clad in dust. you find yourself cleaning out under the fingernails several times a day.
most of the food sucks. but i did pick up a bunch of jars of meat products at a farmer's market. the people at customs wanted to make sure none was beef. i guess the mad cow scare is still alive. i did not volunteer that one of the jars was essentially a glop of coagulated pig's blood. that may have upset one of them. they did not know how to classify what i had, so they were a little squirrely. they weren't too bright, but they were a few rungs above the typical TSA troll.
the very serious looking soldiers at the airport and big monuments were reassuring. at the airport i was kindly directed by a charming, well-spoken woman with a FAMAS rifle strapped to her.
there's a very subtle but quite obvious (?) and palpable tension as regards the local members of islamic faiths.
again, the place is filthy. graffiti is completely out of control. the people seem lazy. very lazy. i hope this is not where we are headed.
pooping in the business class shitter is a superior experience. it helps to have eaten your vegetables.
