Where did that come from? All I'm saying is don't diss the French so hard when your own country (and mine) is not much better. But anyway, that is a good question....and whatever I say you will be able to contradict and ridicule me. In the end, I would say that, while it is all a matter of opinion and perspective, There are some things that are clearly wrong and immoral, such as the actions of Al Queda and it's followers, and, based on their actions, there are some countries who seem to have higher placed morals than some others, so yes, I suppose I do think that some countries are morally better than others. But then you can counter by saying that is their way, their religion, the way they are bought up, whatevr, which supposedly justifies it and I suppose to some extent it does. However, the way I see it, whatever you believe, some things are just wrong. Whatever you think of the USA, the actions of Al Queda are wrong. What this has to do with French Homelessness though, I don't know - I am not saying that the actions of the French are excusable or acceptable from any perspective, I'm just saying that the way some of you are talking, it's like France are the only ones, and that is not the case by a long shot. Throughout my travels in The USA and the rest of the world, I have seen more homeless people across America than ANYHWERE else, and if you think that homeless in America are not ignored and walked by and mistreated and abused in America but they are in France, then you either live in a lovely little bubble of a town, or you are very naive. You want a photo of a homeless guy lying on a street in San Fran or New York or L.A? It won't be hard to find. Have you ever been to downtown Los Angeles and seen the homeless people's shanty town made of cardboard boxes? I have, it's not pretty, and it's not in France.

The French have no right to preach about humanitarian and homeless issues, but neither do you guys.

p.s Why the hell am I sticking up for France?!
