Why did France wanted a completely different community to cover nuclear power in 1957? In 1951 : Benelux, France, Italy and Germany signed the Treaty opening the common market for coal and steal - so why did France insisted in creating a separate community to cover nuclear power when they could create a general common market adjusting energy to coal and steal- in the end - were the same 6 countries to sign both of the treaties - and they had different Commission and different Councils.

I heard that France, during the Great Depression, had less hardships than other nations. How so? I remember my professor saying something about this back in my undergraduate years and the question resurfaced in my head. I was told that France's economy was more resilient to bounce back from the economic hardship that is the Great Depression unlike other nations (especially Germany). Was it that they were getting reparations from post-WWI treaties from Germany? This is out of curiousity.

France is changing it GDP calculation to include a monetary Happiness number - your opinion do opine please? The cold hard numbers that determine the nations domestic production which is the same for every nation since it is simply Math according to France does not give it's nation a fair shake. With high unemployment, 35 hour week, 8 week vacations and many social and welfare factors holding it's GDP down it has decided to "fudge" the numbers to look a little more competitive. Instead of taking the mathematical addition of all it's national output it wants to quantify and give a monetary value to "happiness" and add that to it's posted GDP numbers. What is your opinion - smart, dumb, pathetic???
Where can i get the cheapest ticket to France? Which is the most least expensive airport in France? Some friends and I are planning to take a trip in early August to FRANCE (3 people).

The cheapest we found is 850 per person... Also is there a preferred airline to fly to FRANCE? Or should we just stick with a domestic flight? Thank you, GaTo

What do you think of France exiting their own world cup in Wales? Wouldn't this be funny. The French hosting the World Cup and exiting it on foreign soil. In their own arrogance they never imagined themselves not winning their pool and having to play a game outside of France. It happened courtesy of Argentina. Then their new geurnseys that deliberately clashed with the All Blacks which they hoped to spring on the All Blacks in the final, now is happening in the quarter final. After all their arrogance and unsportsmanlike behaviour with the geurnsey debacle, dont you think it would be hilarious to see them exit their own tournament, on foreign soil, and have to return to France with their tails between their legs.
