It occurs to me I do a great disservice to JELLY BEANS by comparing them to this insipid nonsense.

The QUESTION was:
YOU CRITICIZED me for not bothering : ".....to think about where our court system came from... and, therefore, what principles made it what it should have been but is not. I suspect the French have nearly the best."

I agreed. And I stand property chastized.

Now....... tell me. What principles "MADE it what it should have been but is not".


Name ONE single principle the French have that has resulted in a superior government, one without corruption, vice and greed. Just one.

THAT was YOUR statement.

Defend it. Explain it. What in the world does it mean?

Surely you wouldn't just blather on about something for which you 1. have no proof or 2. you really haven't given any other thought aside from this driving anti American hatred you nurse as though it were a wounded animal. How irresponsible of you to declare another country as the best in the world without having any concrete objective facts on which to base your opinion.
Which FRENCH trial was so stellar that you feel it makes our American system of jurisprudence pale in comparision?
If you THINK it is the best, then explain WHY. The truth was displayed in your very first comments erroneously calling France a DEMOCRACY when they are not. That alone robs the rest of your meanderings of any legitimacy whatsoever. If you do not even know what kind of government an entire country has, how in the love of marshmallows can you form a rational educated opinion about their system of jurisprudence you so glibly declared "the best"? You are espousing an uneducated and uninformed opinion for which you have no rational basis nor proof.
It is, clearly, an ignorant statement without justification or reason and is, as a result, indefensible.

Red jelly beans. They are the best.
