My response

If you know as much Statistics as you show to know History . . . OK, ypu are a perfect ignorant.
Please, more respect towards your forefathers: since Charlemagne (V Century) to the present day almost all cultural important geniuses are coming from France.
Not to know *La Langue Française* avoids you not to read in the original Voltaire, Balzac, Zola, Sartre, Camus . . . .
LESS THAN ONE is your cultural status.

Not only are your statements incorrect even in your
limited context, they reveal that you possess a
very crabbed concept of culture with beyond a mere
Eurocentric bias. It would be amusing if it was
not so sad, much like your statistical efforts.
