Dissing The French

[Groo the Wanderer]

Was gonna post a humorous thread in Open Mic detailing French Military History. It's rather farcical and scathing.

Would it be bad to post it? Any French folks here that would be upset?

Thanks!

Debate topic: is it wrong to diss the French?

[goldenchild17]

No, as long as you leave the Irish alone

irish=boondock saints.

just an FYI

I don't think it's bad to diss their government. I think people need to lay off of the citizens though.

The only part of the French Military worth mentioning is the French Foreign Legion. (And they're not even French.)

why do you say that? do you have a reason...? or are you just going to leave us with the little you said.

[Mercy me]

Could it be that the French have historically worked hard not to reliable eceptin their unreliability.

Ribbing the French is too easy. The true [i]artiste [/i]will search for less obvious targets

I liked making fun of Belarussians, myself. Frog-baiting gets a little old. I've been to the country twice, and was treated well both times.

Wasn't the last war the French won the French Revolution?

being of French ancestry,(and a Canadian)...um, well i guess debating there military and political no problem..just not with a big brush...since i dont like it either when Europeans generalize about Americans with a big sweeping brush, allying U.S. Gov. Foreign policy, with all Americans...
the French do have a pretty cool airforce...

dissing the French is no better or worse than dissing any other ethnic group - I saw a newspaper article that said out loud that our fear of orientals is one reason the food scandals are getting major play in the press . . . despite other countries with higher levels of "rejected" shipments . . . the point of the article (I think) was to point out our prejudices, and was not about food safety

that's what I get for not reading the paper very carefully

Give the French guys a break... I mean, you can post the article, but remember, they've always fallen short. It's too bad, really.
