Exactly.

That is not my main concern.  Wether they associate with the nation or not
is irrelevent.  What is, is that they learn and use french thus insuring
the survival of a francophone nation within north america.  That is what
is most important, the rest is politics.

Avant de me traiter de raciste tu devrais citer exactement ce que j'ai
dit, je risquerais de te traiter de menteur.

Un groupe ne peut pas d�cider de s'appeler lui-m�me une nation, il en est
une ou il n'en est pas une.  La nation r�sulte d'un fait... pas de la
d�cision d'un groupe.

Tu bases tout �a en pr�tendant qu'un groupe "d�cide" ou ne d�cide pas
d'�tre une nation.  Comme si c'�tait un acte d�lib�r�.  On est ou on est
pas une nation.  Et il est question ici du droit des nations de
s'auto-d�terminer, pas des groupes ou des r�gions.

Je n'ai jamais dit �a.

Oui.

Pas si les gens ont la maturit� de laisser aller un peu de leur
souverainet� et de se n�gocier des associations �conomiques et politiques.
Comme le fait l'Europe en ce moment.

Ta supposition est compl�tement capot�e.  Les groupes ethniques qui
appartiennent � une nation et qui ne sont pas des nations comme telles
font partie de la nation.  Elles assurent sa richesse culturelle, etc.

Tu r�alises que tu attribues �a � 60% des francophones qu�b�cois.  Alors
tu crois vraiment que 6 francophones sur dix que tu croises dans la vie de
tous les jours sont racistes?
Tu insultes en basant tes justifications sur des suppositions que tu
inventes et auxquelles tu croies.  C'est compl�tement capot�.  Surtout que
je n'ai jamais rien dit qui puisses appuyer ta fabulation.  T'as tout
invent� �a tout seul?
Bon, pis je continue pas sur le reste, tu poursuis dans ta fabulation...




Et ce qui est le plus triste ici, c'est que les anglophones qu�b�cois
sains d'esprit qui lisent �a savent que c'est faux.
Et pourtant ils ne disent rien, ils laissent faire ces gens qui
construisent pierre par pierre une muraille d'animosit� fond�e sur le
mensonge entre nous.  Et ce faisant, ils se rendent aussi coupables qu'eux
devant cette dangereuse propagande faite de mensonge et de haine qui
grandit entre nos deux communaut�s.

Je ne demande pas qu'on d�fende la souverainet�, mais que quand un
imb�cile appartenant � une communaut� excr�te un mensonge diffamant. 
Qu'il y ait des gens de cette m�me communaut� qui le d�mentent, au lieu
d'accepter passivement, ce qu'on sait �tre un mensonge.
