I don't know why they suck, you should ask them. I think they're deliberately doing it to irritate me.

I want to know why you think this, because right now you sound like a complete bandwagon moron. Tell me some reasons WHY you don't like France, other than stupid comments like 'they smell bad.'

Well for starters, they're turning out to be great "allies." Because of their interest in their oil dealings with Iraq, they're putting the whole middle east/free world in danger by letting this ruthless dictator remain free to do what he wants. I can go on, but I can see I'd be wasting my time on you.

The question wasn't directed towards you in the first place, but since you decided to actually provide some answers, I will respond to that. You don't think Bush's interests in the war are about oil?

Well considering it's been shown time and time again, no i don't think Bush's interests in the war are about oil. Of course, people who are close minded will hang on to that accusation till they day they die. 🙂
 
Ooo, Ooo, I want to jump on the I hate France bandwagon. Here's why I hate them,
1. The people are arrogant. A good friend of mine (who speaks french) and my uncle have both gone to France and couldn't walk around with out getting some comment about how Americans are 'shite'.
2. They're hypocrites. They bad mouth american policies while they act like tyrants on the ivory coast.
3. Their wine isn't all that great. Go Napa Valley 🙂
4. Their chese isn't that good either. Can you tell I'm from Cali 😉

As for the bomb... creating weapons to stop war is stupid. If you recal, the machine gun was invented to stop war. After all, who in their right mind would be caught dead on the recieving end of an automatic weapon? :Q

BTW, I'm not saying we shouldn't further our military research, etc.

No, I am just a man who is tired of reading jingoistic close minded colourblind comments
Take that back, I am not colourblind.

You spelled it funny, are you French?

i must be behind the times, when did hating frenchman become a bad thing?

When was it ever in fashion to hate another group of people?
World War II, I think. You know, when all those brave French people gave up their country and shipped the Jews off in meatwagons.

 
Paula Cole. She's not French. However, she is a prime example of what's wrong with French people. Notice if you will (do it quickly), the large forest of armpit hair. And the tank top. It's just not right. French women dress like this when they come to America. That's why international airports smell so bad.




Jerry Lewis. He's not French, either. He is however, adored by French people. They love him. Any culture who worships this dumbass deserves to perish.


Celine Dion. She's French. Actually she's from Quebec, but that's the French wanker province, so it's just as bad. Canada would be a pretty cool country if not for Quebec. Anyway, Celine Dion has a super annoying voice, sings the evil Titanic song, makes stupid ass facial gestures when she sings, and was in the only stupid episode of South Park to date, the Terrance and Phillip episode.


Mimes are bad. And from France



Reason #1: Because they eat snails.
Reason #2: Because they eat horse.
Reason #3: Because they have dumb names like Jean De Du De Diddly Squa.
Reason #4: Because they are cheese eating surrender monkies.
Reason #5: Because we can nuke them bastards, and they can't do anything about it.



Who began the Panama Canal? France.
Who finished it? United States.
Who was defeated within moments of World War I starting? France.
Who bailed them out? United States.
Who was defeated within moments of World War II starting? France.
Who bailed them out? United States.
Who began Vietnam? France.
Who tried to finish Vietnam? United States.




The beret. The most evil of all hat wear




Mayonnaise, a condiment made to cover up the taste of the rotten fish served in France. No thanks, Pierre.




Jean Claude Van Damme. He might not be French, but he speaks it, and has a stupid French name. Oh yeah, one more thing. Worst. Actor. Ever.


French scientists created mad cow disease. They contaminate their cows with it, and then they sell the tainted meat to other countries. Cuz they suck like that.



The official bird of France is the Rooster. Not only is this a completely retarded bird to represent your country with, but it also proves the long held theory that all Frenchmen love cocks.

None of those reasons are good enough to hate an entire country to bomb them. Get some culture. Live outside your tiny shell of America for just one second and realize that not everyone lives the same way you do!
You sound like someone who is all for travel and yet never does it. I have been all over the world and have met great people everywhere. However, you can group people together and make gross assumptions - it is called national identity or culture or whatever...

The French suck
The Swiss suck
The Japanese suck - unless you are a guy with a lot of money and no respect for women
The Arabs suck - unless you are a guy with a lot of money and no respect for women
The Argentineans suck - I can't help it I was born in England

oh yeah - and YOU suck

Ok, perhaps I'll actually take the time to write a response to your idiotic post. I didn't feel it deserved one initially seeing as how your opinion is entirely skewed, but I digress.

What?

It's called stereotyping.

Are you trying to sound like a moron? You basically pledged your hatred against some of the largest countries in this nation. You expect a dignified response to your post which was oozing of discrimination, stereotyping, and pure lunacy. I hope that in one of your many ventures to a foreign country, you might just see that there are some places aside from America that aren't worth hating. If not, I'm sure the rest of the people back in the trailer park will be more than happy to welcome you back.

1) This is the evolution of the 'Daisy-Cutter' into it's newest packaging, just cleans it up for carrying, still not a "Conventional" for delivery - too big to go on as an external for any fighter, outside the envelope of the B-1's Rotary, may fit as an individual in a B-52, but would pre-empt other bay armament, same with the B-1, it would be a single bay specific weapon and pre-empt use of other dispersments. Most likely just like the earlier 'Daisy-Cutters' they will kick it out the back of a C-130 for concussion usage in leveling area for troop landings or mass destruction of troop massings. There is a 'Kill' zone around these things of about 3/4 mile - thats everything within the CEP, trees, birds, animals, people - it literally crushes their bodies with an overpressure shock wave.

2) Why do those who know nothing about combat find it so easy to 'Just Bomb 'Em' for anyone that dis-agrees with their preceived "We're Right - Do It My Way" attitude? The French, Spain, Germany - et al. actually have had real wars in their countries during a time where weaponry had advanced beyond the stage of Civil War weapons, and even today bear the scars of a war that ended nearly 60 years ago.
The absolute ignorance and arrogance of this is rediculious.
If you do not have the knowledge to make an educated decision, de-humanizing a population of a country is what our United States has always done to incite the hate from the ignorant masses in the streets - Eg: the Germans were 'Jerrys', the Japanese (and Veitnamese) were 'Gooks', the Arabs and the Afgans were called 'RagHeads' - anything, no matter how un-supported to instill dislike - and unite the simpleton mob mentallity - even within our own boundarys we ridicule 'OUR OWN PEOPLE' to put them down - if they are different in religion, culture, race, or ethnecticity from whatever insecure group of idiots that want to make a political piont - like Hitler did with the Jews leading into WWII, and the same as Tren Lott was doing with African Americans as recently as 2 months ago. Dosen't anyone have a clue as to what these fools are doing to manipulate fear and hate just to get their way?

P.S. - Those who are using the American Flag as their Avatar are especially bad in this display, and they are NOT doing themselves or their country justice.

ME? I'm a 1966 Viet Nam War Vetran - USAF & 1st Cav, with a Son who is in the U.S. Army - 101st Screaming Eagles, & guess where they are.
Been there, done that.
