I agree that understanding why is important, but I don't think having some silly comments prevents that.
Though in this case, what interests me more than why France is primitive, is why we are better. Which part of our traditions prevents us from having this law?
While I have general answers to that question, I don't have any answers specific to this particular law.
Edit: BTW my comment did allude to a serious answer. They have a different meaning of freedom in France, and are somewhat hostile to our meaning of it.
- Zak 19y agoI think the political forces that led European countries to democracy are much more tied up in class struggle than those that led to the American revolution. As a result, Europeans tend to make laws that keep large businesses from pressing their advantages as much as they can in the US.
- eru 19y agoNo, not in general. For example consider those pesky subsidies in agriculture. Huge farms are far better at collecting them than small, family run farms. That's because big business can afford to a law department to hack the laws.
