While I admire your tenacity in questioning authority, don't you think you've taken it a bit too far? In one fell swoop, you've managed to alienate two entire countries, one of which you claim as your motherland.

I can see you being incredulous about the French ring-tone thing, but when you get right down to it, has a week ever gone by where the French haven't done something unbelievable? As I recall from the newspaper article (published the Saturday before last, I believe), there were no fines or other penalties for skirting the cultural ring-tone law, so it will probably not be widely enforced. However, as with other similar French legislation, it serves to draw a "line in the sand" when it comes to preserving French culture.

But then you go and insult Greenland. I'm not ashamed to publically admit that I have a friend from Greenland, and he is quite proud of his heritage. The success of their soccer team that year was one of their proudest moments as a country in recent memory, and it helped draw back together a country that had so recently been ripped apart by their long and bloody guerrilla war against Denmark.

I checked the history on the Wikipedia web site on the soccer world cup, and it turns out that it's totally unreliable, which as almost everyone knows, is no surprise for Wikipedia. The page seems to be edited tens of times per day, and it looks like there are a bunch of people that are changing the results and teams in the matches constantly. Clearly the work of soccer hooligans who have nothing better to do but to bicker with each other about what "should have been".

I assume that answers your question about if a correction is needed...

Thank you for bringing it up, though. To quote dear Professor Kingsfield, like many other law students, you come to this web site with a mind full of mush, and you leave thinking like lawyers.
