The character of a people does not change because they have endured a terrorist act.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I would rather befriend a bunch of snobs than a bunch of murderous cave-dwellers. Call me a hypocrite all day long, I don't care.

No. Kill them all.

Interesting...that sucks tho, if it really was a decent fire, how would you get firefighting assistance up there? And hopefully the high altitude wouldn't let the fire run long...

The Eiffel Tower is quite the spectacle...I miss Paris. :( ^_^

WTC. Only the Americans. Who cares.

WTC = intermational disaster including the destruction of the official center of NATO.

Eiffel Tower = French tourist attraction.

Both are/were Monuments of the World. It was brought to the French as gift or something IIRC, they didn't build it for the tourists.

Big deal. The French suck anyway. Has anyone died? Has the tower fallen killing loads more safety personnel who were trying to save those trapped inside in the meantime? I don't think so. I how DARE you compare the Eiffel Tower fire to the WTC disaster. Don't be a pighead.

Do we know yet? No. People COULD have died. And "It's the French, who cares" is pretty tasteless IMO.

And your relating anything to the WTC is pretty tasteless to me. It's my opinion. I don't care about what you think. But if you would rather me keep it to myself, that's fine by me. It doesn't make the French any better.

People may HAVE died. I should have asked if people have died on the same scale as the WTC atrocity. That will never happen in this situation.

My point is: "Oh, it's the <insert a nationality here>. Who cares." is pretty ignorant.

But it wasn't generalized, was it. It's the FRENCH. I didn't say "<insdert nationality here>" did I? Do I go into threads about other nationalities and post "oh, it's the <insert thread nationality here>. Who cares" in the thread? No. I specifically reserve that kind of comment for the French. If you don't want me bashing the French, that's fine. But don't keep talking about it, because I WILL defend my point of view till the very last. Just let it go and I will do the same. :)

Maybe. But your spelling mistakes guilt you of the very thing you accuse me of.
