It's official. Everyone hates the French.....

[Raven]

Story

Is anyone really surprised by this.

[unbreakable]

Typically, the French refuse to accept what arrogant, overbearing monsters they are.

The irony of an American agreeing with that article is astounding, especially now that being an arrogant, overbearing monster is our foreign policy.

[corruptrelic]

Not really, considering there is much more hatred against the United States than any other country on earth. Even the Britons were out protesting in the thousands against us against the Iraq war - with pictures of Bush "World's #1 Terrorist".
Thing is though, they are right. Can't wait for the next election to get this monster out of office before he brings us into WWIII!

[Raven]

I feel sorry for you two guys.

You're so bitter and angry and blinded by your hatred of anything American, that you can't even untighten your ass long enough to have a good laugh

Now please go pee in someone else's thread.

[warning]

Cheese eating surrender monkeys....

[karapcik]

Of course, doesn't everyone hate the French? Lame as that old saw is it never gets old Hell they probably hate themselves. If the self-loathing in thread is any indicator I'd expect the French spit every time  they see themselves in the mirror  :wink:

I thought the article was funny.  But as always, snickers and guffaws are optional.

Even the Britons were out protesting in the thousands against us against the Iraq war...

Thousands, huh! WOW!!! Teehee!!

[corruptrelic]

Wow where do you get off saying I hate America? I'm American and proud of it. I just don't like the guy who's leading our country down the toilet by lying to his country about "weapons of mass destruction" and wanting to make us into the world's police force. Every day when more and more Americans are being killed in a country we shoudn't even be in the first place, only makes me want this monster out of office even more.
There are PLENTY of like-minded congressmen and senators (both republicans and democrats) who think like this. Is that anti-american? Give me a break!
I'll leave your thread alone but don't say things that are untrue.

Devil, 750,000 to be exact..

Police in London, England, said turnout Saturday was 750,000, the largest demonstration ever in the British capital.

In New York on Saturday, a giant puppet depicting President Bush holding buckets of blood and oil towered over the cheering crowd that was pressed against police barricades near U.N. headquarters. The main demonstration stretched 20 blocks down First Avenue, and overflowed onto Second and Third avenues as more people tried to reach the rally.

"Freedom costs a buck o' five..."

[CrayolaSmoker]

...wanting to make us into the world's police force.

Just to be fair, that's been going on since LONG before W. Bush took office.

Then why freak out, simply because it's another country being criticised, instead of America.

[Sparhawk]

I once killed a french man just to see if they bleed frogs.

 

[Ralph-Wiggum]

French Kissing, French Ticklers. What's not to like?

I feel sorry for you.  I love America so much that it hurts to see it turn into a fourth reich.  If you honestly loved America, you would be agreeing with me.

And everytime you open your mouth, you dig yourself deeper. This thread was not intended to be a serious discussion, but your bitter obsessive nature won't allow you to see that.

Is funnier than anything else in this thread!!! :lol:

Isn't there a rule that if you compare something to the 3rd Reich, you lose the debate.  Not that I agree with everything George Bush does but thats a tad extreme dont you think?

[corruptrelic]

Sure, a president lying to his country and taking us to war based on those lies so that countless billions of our tax dollars can be wasted and a never-ending amount of young american soldiers (my brother is one of them) can be sent back in coffins having died for an unjust war is just so damn funny, isn't it?

[unbreakable]

Pre-WW2 Germany wasnt the first democracy to fall into a dictatorship, nor will it be the last.

I would imagine the means of doing it have very common patterns, and how it happened in Nazi German is certainly the most well documented example.  Thus, the comparisons between Nazi German and what is going on in the US today are essentially a grade-school connect-the-dot exercise.

So feel free to cast aside your eternal vigilance, and put your faith in the government.

Isn't there a rule that if you compare something to the 3rd Reich, you lose the debate.

That would be Godwin's Law.

Godwin's law (also Godwin's rule of Nazi analogies) is an adage in Internet culture that was originated by Mike Godwin in 1990. The law states that:

    As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.

There is a tradition in many Usenet newsgroups that once such a comparison is made, the thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress.

For this thread the Time-To-Godwin was a mere 15 posts.  Not bad but I'm sure we could do much better!  C'mon guys!

Dear Internet Forum People,

This is SuperHiro's mom, posting from his account.  My son is very interested in politics and so reads every thread he sees on it.  He is a very smart special little boy.  

I am concerned regarding the quality of his education.  I would think that some debates over the merits or some reasonable discussion about social security or something was the norm.  But instead I read all this bickering about the same thing over and over.  And it's the same insults from the same people.  People hating other people and how one person called someone this and now it's okay to call him a Nazi because all those other mean people have been beating up on them for years!  I'll have you no that insults of any kind are not allowed in my household.  And since this computer is in MY house, there will absolutely be no name-calling or any such jibber jabber.  

I am not afraid to tell your mothers about your behavior.  Consider this a final warning.

-Mom

Let me know when you make a post about how much you hate Black people, or Mexicans, or Jews, or whatever, Im sure that one will be funny too.

Yes, of course. That's a very rational response to a thread making fun of French people  :roll:

[unbreakable]

Congratulations on the first funny thing posted in the thread   :lol:

The pic was amusing, if not the support of a racist sentiment (and yes, hating the French is technically racism).

[dbt1949]

The French have a race? With cars or bicycles?

With bicycles.  WITH BICYCLES!

Typically, the French refuse to accept what arrogant, overbearing monsters they are.

Sounds like the writer of that article didn't have any axe to grind Way to find some good, unbiased reporting there!  :roll:
