Gotcha, so we should remember this by making fun of another country's population's changing physiques.

Do you suppose those sorry "Frogs" might actually might have shortened life spans because of this?

As far as I know the US is the only nation so far where overweight leaded to a decline in life expectancy? The article doesn't state that the French live shorter now. And your attitude towards the French comes a bit "out of context" at least.

Yeah you helped 'liberate' them how? We defeated the Japanese in WW2. Germans lost mostly because of the Russians. Learn some history!

Sure it was the Russians. :roll:

The Liberation of France and Belgium, 1944

You might want to research exactly what position the Russians would have been in if not for Allied aid.

Ignorance is bliss! You tell me how many German divisions are tied down fighting the Russians. Claim credit for defeating the Japanese, but don't makes yourself look like a fool by saying that we defeated the Germans.

That's what I figured. Carry on then.

Nah, there is so much to make fun of the French for though. The French make themselves targets with their extreme arrogance. Kind of funny that since they let Muslim youths burn their cities daily for 3 weeks they have kept a low profile. I, and many older people, could write a book about how and why the French suck.

The same country who 99% of Americans seem to forget helped us separate from the English.

Who don't you read some history books about how the French Navy.

From that standpoint WW2 made us EVEN.


Edit: nevermind guess I should read other posts first 😉 it's been covered.

Many would say the same about the US.

Where exactly did I say or even imply that we defeated the Germans alone? We were discussing the liberation of France, not the defeat of Germany and even the link I provided clearly states it was Allied troops from the US, England, and Canada under the command of Eisenhower that liberated France and Belgium.

Didn't we refuse to enter the war until someone attacked us?

EDIT: I don't understand all this hatred for the French. Yeah, they were against the invasion of Iraq because they thought the US gov't was full of shiat. We showed them!
