There is so much to debate and rip in this article . Thanks for the post Vance !

[Ben Bolt]

You think its a total write off ?

One thing is for sure: in the next 50 to 100 years—maybe sooner—France will become a Muslim nation. Demographics dictate it.

This is assuming that the French people apathetically stand by and let it happen, a huge assumption indeed.

I'm no expert on France , but do you expect something other than them as a country to do something different in the near future ? The history of decline is ever so well documented . In fact it is not just Francois .

You got me there ! I've only 1 year of intel . The problem is I am 42 years on the gregorian calender . You are writing that section of history off or not . ?

Well, I'm certainly no expert on France either. But the point that I was trying to make is that so-called experts often look at current trends and say something such as "If this trend continues unabated..."

I just wanted to make the point that trends often don't continue indefinately without wavering somewhat or without some outside influence changing its course either in a minor way or a major way.
