When patriotism comes at no real cost to the vast majority of people, then jingosim will flourish.

Well, it's nice to know the Aussies are our brothers in Jingoism as well!Life and death is a grave matter;
all things pass quickly away.

If it is superior, why does it need the crutches of law?Originally posted by Spiffor
Dino :
The language laws aren't jingoism. They defend a language that is deemed to be ours. Language has a big role in the French culture, that we try to keep and to boost in the future. Naturally, some believe the French culture / language is superior to others, but the law is mostly motivated by the fact the French language / culture is ours (not necessarily better,simply ours) and shouldn't be allowed to go down the toilet.
The danger to french is francophones stop using it,
hardly superior.
Do the Germans, Swedes Poles, Italians, have this cultural worry?Comment

Is that why Vichy France plays a prominent role in French history books?The "Pays des Droits de l'Homme" phrase (country of Rights of Man) isn't used in any official occurence, and the State promotes guilt over French past crimes.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
