Resurrexi Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Ewww. That pic has the new French flag on it. The one before the revolution was so much cooler.

29908 Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I think it is wrong to 'diss' a whole lot of people. However, if you discuss facts and you state reasons for you hate...And you say that out of ignorance, then I think that's fine. PS- I'm French. : )
jckinsman Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 The French are weak! I guess that's where my weak genes come from! My french genes! I guess I'll put on a pair of my french Jeans today and go be weak and snivelly. Does snivelly have one " l " or two???? I think that could just be my German genes coming out............boy I'm all messed up! Post the thing on the war anyway Groo....I've heard it ....its good. Scathingly good..... with a bucket full of truth and nasty on the side..... One might ask is being weak and scared a sin???? That may be a better thing to post after the fact! I think if we all truly look at the record of the french,the only thing we learn is that they are not the one to count on in times of trouble! That's all! Nothing more! It does not anger me,I did not stop eating yoplait yogurt after 911! This is not about the French anyway! 911 is purely about the hate of americans and our ways! It is about us and them and the "them" are not the french,we need to keep that in mind!
29908 Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Okay, I must speak up. You say 'the French.' I'm sorry, but what happens in WAR is controlled by the French GOVERNMENT. Meet the French PEOPLE, and you may see different. Hating all French for the government's decisions is like hating ALL Americans and people from the UK for participating in the war on terror. Be careful with who you are bashing. Frenchmen have feelings, too. Frenchmen do not decide every governmental act.

Wish I got this kind of reception when I went over there. Went over to Paris for a business trip and got treated like dog poo by everyone except the hotel desk staff (American chain) and the lady running the chateau we visited in the countryside. If anyone wants to see the Complete French Military History I gatehered together from various sources, you'll have to see it on my Myspace blog...some if it *may* be pushing the line for Phatmass...not sure yet if I should post it here. I guess I'll wait for some feedback on that first. www.myspace.com/phatgroo It's the most current blog.

Mercy me Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Of course, we must not forget that the Paris tourist board just launched a campaign to try to get Parisians to be nice to tourists.

GodChild Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 I've had a look at your war list ... and in my opinion - if someone is offended by that, they deserve to be offended - the politically correct have no feelings anyway - thats my 2cents
Mercy me Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 What is the 3rd rule of French warfare? You skipped from 2 to 4.

I just get tired of hearing complaints about the French. Central Asians and Eastern Europeans are much more creative targets (just ask the Russians). With a little time and effort, they could easily become as pilloried as the French.
