Why France sucks

[Bostech]

CNN did article on why France is best place to live.
Maybe we should learn something from it.

*doesn't like France*
That is stereotyping, and if you haven't been to France you really have no place saying that.
That is like saying all gay guys are flamboyant limp wristed sissies.

Anyway,some of points brought in article points to good health care when women can stay home for up to year and raise kids.
Maybe if we did that in US there would be less crimes as kinds would grow into more stable families.
And what about simple lifestyle and piece of mind living life?

I lived in Paris for a while, and I think anyone who was raised in the south finds it as homey a place as any, if they have any french language at all.

The parisiennes are so passionate and effusive and opinionated about things, and they manage it with the same mixture of mercurial etiquette that Old School southerners do.

Its my favorite city of all to live in.

Now if we would build a southern city based on Paris,add BBQ and Paris would lose crown of best place to live. :-)

I am partial to the South Pacific or the Hawaiian chain, I just don't care for France but have nothing if someone likes that part of the world...........Shetland Islands are nice and so are the people..........Beirut, many years ago, was outstanding.............Estartet Spain outstanding..............anyway lots of places I have not even named that are higher on my list than France! But that's just me! All of the places that I mentioned are down to earth and simple places which I think might be best in the long run!

"This is why France continues to be among the OECD countries whose tax rate is the highest. Taxes account for 45% of GDP against 37% on average in OECD countries. The overall rate of social security and tax on the average wage in 2005 was 71.3% of gross salary, the highest of the OECD. The levels of social security contributions are particularly high (16.3% of revenue against 9.4% in average for OECD). The social security budgets are larger than the budget of the national government. The budgets of both the national government and of social security organizations run deficits."

On my first trip to France a young parisian couple invited me to stay in their home. I regret not taking them up on that but had a really great time regarless.  I made a concieous decision to not let the horror stories of others bias my experience and it paid off even before I got off the plane.
