I guess it's pretty bad press when the most cowardly nation on earth feels that implanted eye modifications are too uncanny valley to tolerate.
It's spooky sometimes how after 200 years we Americans still have the culture of a colony to a now-dead English Empire. We still have all kinds of dutch-related slurs (like "going dutch" on a date, or a "dutch oven" in bed) because of some long ago feud between the English and Dutch trading empires, we still use imperial measurements while England itself switched to the more efficient metric system, and of course, we have an automatic dislike for England's perpetual nemesis: France.
How quickly we forget how close the cheese-eating surrender monkeys came to conquering all of continental Europe while our country was still young.
It's worth noting that barely a fraction of the French male population at fighting age was still alive after the end of WWI. When Hitler invaded with his technologically superior Blitzkrieg, France simply didn't have enough troops to retaliate. It was a case of surrender or be annihilated.
Since then, France and many other European countries made keeping a large and fit population of ready soldiers an absolute top priority. Contrary to popular belief, many European nations enacted Universal Healthcare programs, not because of the influence of Marx and Engels, but to ensure that they never find themselves short of soldiers the way France did. Today in France a man that enjoys government-sponsored healthcare pays for it with compulsory military service.
Here in America, we've embraced a different policy. Rabid opposition to birth control in any shape or form. |
