I love France and all, but let's not pretend they have good coffee culture. What passes for cappuccino there... The horrors I've seen.

Yes, let's ask the German government to make Stasi records spying on the private lives of citizens open and public, because it would help strangers win arguments on the internet.

You are not a very serious person, are you?
