I've gotta tell ya, this thread is pretty funny. The very same people who *****ed and moaned 20+ years ago about the crappy service they got from the ATT (government established) monopoly are now claiming that a world with near limitless options on phone services, with prices that are WAY below what ATT charged (both real and nominally), has lead to what was it... "worse quality and higher prices."

I'm French, thank you and france Telecom was a very high-end company in the time of the State monopoly. Except for international communications (which were indeed horredously expansive), I have never experienced any problem with France Telecom.

As per Deutsche Telekom: I migrated twice to Germany. Once before the competition was open to the general public, and once after competition had been opened to the general public. I think I have an experience much more thorough than yours to compare the two eras.
And believe me, Deutsche Telekom has ran outrageously downhill in the short time between my two migrations

I was kinda... mocking you...

Poorly.

Hmmmm... I was using the exact same sophism as you were... so let me guess: we are both poor mockers.

Wait, such a free market supporter must be rich?

So, do you Yanks constantly say it just so that Marx rolls over in his grave?

Spiffor, you know that I don't really think highly of most of my fellow countrymen's intelligence. As do you with the French citizenry .

In other words, pure speculation on your part. Which was to be expected.

Yes. It is pure speculation to presume that a coup that was blatantly and obviously favorable to American interests had nothing to do with any segment of the US government.

American diplomacy just sits there, waiting for followers to flock en masse.

I also guess the 400 billions military budget is maintained for defensive goals.

I actually think that Yanks' intelligence on average is greater than French intelligence .

If 'inteligent' Yanks like you think THAT, it sure shows how low your country has fallen

Classified reports say so... that's hilarious.

Why do you think they are classified? Probably because they revealed a detailed plan about a program to fund elementary schools construction?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Um... Spiffor... I actually spelled it correctly .

[Imran Siddiqui]

Why do you think they are classified?

Because they may contain intelligence about the country that are not for public consumption? You know the CIA does gather intelligence which is considered classified information. Mainly to protect sources.

Really, everything is a conspiracy to you .

You're missing the point entirely. It's utterly ridiculous to make a claim and then, when asked to back it up, refer to reports that will remain classified for 50 years.

As for your numerous assumptions about the evil intentions of the US administration, US diplomacy, US military and the entire free world in general, they are just that, assumptions. They're quite entertaining to a certain point but also a bit sad when you think about it.
