KittenSol,
I'm not trying to disparage the "fucking frogs" as a people, as my mother was born and raised in Paris, and I have spent more time there than the average American. In that same vein, I've spent enough time there to know that the French make excellent wines, wonderful cheese, beautiful shoes, etc.
But I would look to another country for cigarettes, cars, guns, or (though I'll never be in the market for one) airplanes.
I've seen some batty hyperbole online, but taking my opinion of the Airbus to mean I hate the French, that takes the biscuit. The fact that the French don't hold a candle to other European nations when it comes to that kind of technology is not an inherent fault of the French intellect or character, but rather a result of the high influx of immigrant workers in those industries.
You best check your facts. Airbus is a European consortium and has plants in Germany, Spain and the UK, as well as France.
As for your "migrant workers" comment, I dont even know where to start with that one.
