Jamaica realises the error of its ways

I've heard this oppinion is strong before, interesting to see actual poll results however.

I can see the point. The French colonies that stuck with France are doing great with lots of European money thrown at them. And what do they lose? A bit of silly nationalism/

Senegal, land of plenty.

Ah a cutting barb!  But I am not sure what point you are trying to make...Senegal is a pretty poor country so does not really work as a counter-example.

Which former French colonies that have stayed with France aren't poor countries?  All the ones I know are in Africa.  Haiti stayed with France in the sense that occasionally France would show up and pillage it.  Senegal is one of the the wealthier ones.  I suppose you could say Quebec and Louisiana, but former was a British Colony for a long time and much of the later was a Spanish one.  And neither are really independent countries.

Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, Reunion.........they are still overseas departments of France, just like Hawaii is a state of the USA.

Ah, I misunderstood.  I thought we were talking about former colonies.

Well if they stayed with France they wouldn't be former French colonies they would be present French colonies

Jamaica is the biggest shit-hole I've ever been too. It was the one occasion I wish I HAD been to an all-inclusive tourist resort rather than "experienced" the country.

I went to the place where every white face is an
invitation to robbery
sitting here in my safe European home
don't wanna go back there again

Now we know where Joe Strummer got the inspiration from.

Your irrational hatred of noble France had blinded you

I am glad you can now see.

I thought you liked France for it's lack of nobility.

Nothing is more noble than the killing of nobles.
