Todays young French don't seem to think much about America's sacrifice for them ..but then again it wasn't Todays Young Americans who made that Sacrifice..yet they have no qualms about claiming it as their own.

Making fun of the French is probably fashionable nowadays, like protesting.





Anyways, its funny seeing how similar France and the US are and how much they disagree.

Well it sure seems taking credit for others sacrifices is real popular in the states.

It seems to me that those statements are usually made to the same people who want to demonize the US for actions taken long long ago also. Which will it be?

Twisting history to make yourself look better is not a French only thing. Why don't you try and point out a country that doesn't do that?

What I meant is...there really isn't that much difference between a frenchman and an american. Countries are similar too...both western democracies which want to dominate the world and tell other countries what to do. And because they both want to have power, they clash with each other often.

Only a dumbass would think the French are opposing action in Iraq because they are cowardly. Its because they want to be a major player in Iraq, but a US invasion would shut them out.

Hey I agree with you

Do you judge the country only by the way it behaved in a war? You can't deny that France had (and still has) the best writers, painters and women maybe?

Yea, in the 17th century.

france sucks. But their women are one of the best in europe. their attitude may be a bit eccentric, but their body more than makes up for it.

Nice to see some rampant generalisation. Maybe Americans are stupid and the British are all snobs?

These sort of comments should get threads locked and posters banned.

No Americans are fat pigs and the British have bad teeth...well at least according to rampant generalisation

Aces! Another jingoistic thread slamming France for what they did in the past!

Perhaps I should start a thread bashing America because of their treatment of the Native Americans. Oh wait... that would be a terrorist act.

In 1966 upon being told that Charles DeGaulle had taken France out of NATO and that all U.S. Troops must be evacuated off of French soil President Lyndon Johnson told Secretary of State Dean Rusk:

"Ask him about the cemeteries Dean!"

So at end of the meeting Dean did ask DeGaulle if his order to remove all U.S. troops from French soil also included the 60,000+ soldier buried in France from World War I and World War II.

DeGaulle never answered.

Because it was a fvcking childish question. Sometimes you say more by saying nothing.

No. DeGualle was aware that he meant the LIVE soldiers and obviously underestimated the stupidity of his foils in regard to them extending the demand to dead soldiers.
