To all the French Haters

Post by I AM ME »

I know many of my southern neighbors are angry towards the french, but don't know quite why. Oh yes they decided notto enter a war. They didn't sabotage a war, they didn't prevent a war, they didn't neglect to defend it's close ally America, it refused to go to war without further thought. Lets take a look at what the French said concerning entering the war to the UN.


"Make no mistake about it: the choice is indeed between two visions of the world. To those who choose to use force and think they can solve world's complexity through swift and preventive action, we offer a contrast determined action over time. For today, to ensure our security, all the dimensions of the problem must be taken into account: both the manifold crisis and their many facets, including cultural and relgious. Nothing lasting in international relations can be built therefore without dialogue and respect forthe other. To ignore this is to run the risk of misunderstanding, radicalization and spiraling violence. This is even more true in the Middle East, and area of fractures and ancient conflicts where stability must be a major object for us."

this was a speech made to UN reps, what was George's rational response?


"Your either with us or against us!"

of course we can't expect george to even understand what Dominique said.

Of course he should have listened, America should have thought more about the issues that they would face after, then they wouldn't be dealing with what they are now. Lets remember the French have been in the game much longer then the American's hell they nearly WON the game TWICE, once with Nappy and the other time when they were still known as Gaul. Afterwards they were a major player in colonial europe, including the force that made American independence a reality, because lets be serious for a moment AMERICA DIDN'T HAVE A BLOODY CHANCE IN HELL WITHOUT THE FRENCH. France also inspire Jefferson to write. Benjamin Franklin often vistied there. France was always a sturdy ally to the weak America. In return when france and Russia are the onlythings holding back the german machine, America sits back cautiously waiting for a more oppertune time to attack. They give a fickle amount of troops compared to the rest of the world and then claim to be Frances savior. France has always been your ally, and because of a disagreement over invading a country all that has been thown away.

In addition to all that nonsense, does anyone remember "Freedom Fries"? This just proves that America's Comercial Industry is stupid, Why? FRENCH FRIES CAME FROM BELGIUM. Honestly.

yeah i must admit it was pretty immature, like who are these people 5 year olds?

Also it's to close to what the FRENCH themselves did during the French Revolution. They started naming everything freedom this and freedom that. And they ended up being one of the worst dictatorships of all time.

Umm... ok... I don't think any actual Americans cared at all about that, and we made fun of the "Freedom" crap just as much as you are. It was our retarded government's doing... so shush. :P

Oh yeah, and the whole anti-French thing's been over for like... over a year now, anyway. :wtf:

NE DETESTE PAS LES FRANCAIS! Les frenchies sont beaucoup plus chouettes que tout l'autre monde a l'ecole! Comme moi...mais les personnes de quebec sont un peu bizarres... :P

Et de plus, je n'ai pas des accents sur mon ordinateurs, alors ce message ne fait pas beaucoup de sense :freak:

My old next door neighbour used to refuse to own or eat or drink anything French because of the French burning our sheep or something like that - so if anyone bought him French wine he'd give it to us :D
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

Just like to point one thing out and one thing only.

Native Americans had the greatest cavalry in the world.

that's it, there no point of argument to this other then what is stated above.
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

Meme que moi! Mais, je pense que mon ordinateur est technicalement capable de produire les accents, le seul probleme est que je suis trop parasseuse d'apprendre comment les faire. Vive les parasseux!

je suis vraiment parasseuse


je ne suis pas parrasseuse...de quoi parles-tu?


:lol:

Mais, c'est vrai (a propos des accents). Neamoins, j'avais l'impression que les keyboards (vive l'anglicism!) existent qui comprisent les accents ecrits directement sur les boutons. Ca ameliorera la facilite de communiquer aux pays francophones, non? Et, bien sure, pour les folles etudiantes anglaises qui aiment penser qu'elles sachent bien la langue et essayent de la utiliser sur l'internet... :lol:

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

Yeah, you just press the ´ or ` key and then the letter you want the accent on and you get é or è (sometimes you have to hold ctrl at the same time as the ´ or `). And if that doesn't work you use alt + a number (130=é, 136=ê, 138=è, etc).
