"PARIS — Academics are increasingly leaving France for the United
States, which carries the risk of a “brain drain” in France, according
to a report this month by an independent study group.

As an example:

Olivier Blanchard, one of France’s best-known economists, teaches in
the United States at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.



The report, by the Institut Montaigne, a leading independent research
group in Paris, found that academics constitute a much larger
percentage of French émigrés to the United States..."

A relevant response posted elsewhere on the net:

"I've met quite a few of these socialist cow-pies throughout Europe;
they usually advertise their presence as subtly as a K-Mart blue light
special that announces they will gladly regurgitate the latest rants
from Michael Moore's blog in exchange for the chance at a sloppy
handjob in a dimly-lit, feces encrusted stand-up toilet. The bulk of
their political knowledge seems based around bumper sticker slogans,
and quite frankly, you stand a better chance of engaging in a fruitful
political discussion with the rear end of a beat down pinto covered in
"US out of my uterus" stickers double-parked outside of a vegan bakery
in Berkley. At least the car is more likely to have had a decent
shave. Their alliances shift with the times, depending on what
outrageous outrage has pricked their conscience this week, as do their
self-given titles. Do you seriously expect much intelligence from
someone who describes themselves as an anti-gender ecofeminist whose
grasp of economics is considerably lower than that of a five year old
entrepreneur selling lemonade on a hot day? I expect neither
intelligence nor introspection from this lot. As far as I'm
concerned, Europe can have them."

'We're all in the same boat and we all are going to catch the same
hell from the same man. He just happens to be a white man. All of us
have suffered here, in this country, political oppression at the hands
of the white man, economic exploitation at the hands of the white man,
and social degradation at the hands of the white man.

Now in speaking like this, it doesn't mean that we're anti-white, but
it does mean we're anti-exploitation, we're anti-degradation, we're
anti-oppression. And if the white man doesn't want us to be anti-him,
let him stop oppressing and exploiting and degrading us. Whether we
are Christians or Muslims or nationalists or agnostics or atheists, we
must first learn to forget our differences' -Malcom X

No surprises there!

Most of the top brains from around the world are lured to the US by
money.

You don't seriously think that brain-dead ****wit Americans contribute
to anything, do you?

I remember hearing, in some class, that French was the language of
diplomacy in the 1700s? and was even spoken in the German court. It
fell out of favor (maybe with Napoleon, but I forgot.) German was the
language of science up to the 1930s when a lot of their scientists
left. English was the choice of a UN panel to be used in all
international aircraft communications, and, being the only language
mandatory "exported," it took foothold. A lot of school systems,
worldwide, now have "English as a Second Language" courses, which are
mandatory. My niece goes to China each year to teach, and they cannot
get enough English teachers. An aside, in China, is that there are so
many dialects that it is possible that some Chinese cannot talk to one
another in Chinese, but they have to use a third language.

More to do with the English than the Americans - pity really.
