:roll: I Don't HATE the French. Gez

Further more, did YOU start this thread. NO. So why do YOU get to make the rules in it?

Did the OP start the thread with something similar to this (tongue in cheek joking about the French) YES.

Go "moderate" yourself.

You might wanna check and see if it's time to change your tampax while your at it.

And another thing Insane3D isn't even logged on, so how the hell do YOU know what he wants.

(End rant) :roll:

Ok yeah, my post was meant to be sarcastic because Insane3D was attacking me for being a mindless French basher after I simply stated that France doesn't deserve US Support because France didn't support the US in Iraq. I have no beef with the french personally...

Oh, in the future, kindly add a 😉 my sarcasm meter is broke.

Sorry for the rant. I just couldn't understand the (somewhat) unprovoked attack.😱

Please except my apology!

Totally my fault. My apologies.

We are making fun that they whine about our involvement in wars, then they go start one and get a similar response. 😀

Or at least I am.

France sucks and they shouldn't have invaded the sovereign country of Ivory Coast. :brokenheart:

In the meantime, a French soldiers best friend.

🙂

Wow, that was awsome. :laugh:

Test drop tests on guns part :thumbsup:

Nope, don't drag me into this. A joke is a joke, and doesn't really bother me. It was a bit amusing...if not predictable. 😉

It was clear to me you were joking, and it was pretty funny...although it was a tad predictable. 😉

Well, maybe I misunderstood you, and if I did I apologize. I wasn't suggesting France desrved our help over there, I was just disputing what I thought was an inaccuracy brought on by a dislike of anything French. You made the comment about the "UN Force" being 80% US troops, and that was incorrect.

As for the UN, it seems we are all for it when they do what we want, but when it's something we have no interest in, we could care less. For all the France bashing, it turned out they were right about Saddam in the end...

 
In case anybody cares... I hate the French. They pretend that the USA is nothing more than a colony 300 years later and their wine sucks compared to California wine. :laugh:

There is nothing redeeming about France except maybe Alizee and frankly I would rather roll around with Britney. :beer:

I'm sorry, how are these situations comparable?

yeah i'm missing the link between preventing a civil war and creating a whole new conflict.

But yeah since the french didn't want to get involed in the mess we call "operation iraqi freedom", they must hate us and hate our way of life, which makes em terrorists. Only in the US you could simpifyi complex geopolitical events into "either with us or against us" scenario

Now I understand how to get my postcount up! 🙂
 
Would it have done any good to point out the flaws in your French hating? My guess is no, so I figured I would give you a cookie instead.
 
Tagro announced Sunday that Ivory Coast troops would pull back into the peacekeeper-manned buffer zone, ending its three-day offensive on rebel territory.

"Let us cease fire," National Assembly president Mamadou Koulibaly said on state TV, offering to return to a more than year-old calm broken by Ivory Coast's resumption of attacks on Thursday.

Speaking to French radio Inter, however, Koulibaly accused French President Jacques Chirac of arming Ivory Coast's rebels, and sabotaging Ivory Coast's government.

"Ivory Coast has become an overseas territory in Jacques Chirac's head," said Koulibaly, Ivory Coast's second-highest leader.
So...Ivory Coast (official gov't) attacks a rebel position reinforced by UN Peacekeepers, kill some UN dudes, then get pissed that the French beat the hell out of them?

OMG, somebody please kill Koulibaly...

His comments may make him popular with his own people, but he's only making the problem worse.
