French rival to Google

The French president, Jacques Chirac, yesterday unveiled what he hopes will be his great legacy to France’s struggle against the global dominance of the US: a series of technological projects including a European search engine to rival Google.

Mr Chirac, who walked out of an EU summit last month when a fellow Frenchman committed the grave offence of speaking English, styles himself as the defender of France in the globalised world.

    The french are serious just jealous of us. I lived in a french territory for 2 years and I lived with a french family one summer so I’ve been around the block and I know how they look at Americans they are flat jealous and they really should be but it’s not because of anything we do that they can’t do it’s just that Americans are better capitalists in my opinion we know how to think outside the box where they think that the only way to make any money is to get an education admittedly not a horrible option but not everyone can think like that.
