Feel reassured, the ignorance and the stupidity do not know borders.

The intelligence, the sensibility and the culture either, fortunately.

It is rather strange, because we can think that it would be more practical but finally, maybe not. What would we make then?... Thank you for your healthy reaction.

I love A bout de souffle, but I hate the fucking verve. Sorry dylbiebee, but I would have much preferred the original music from the film's soundtrack to compliment your montage sequence.
