PTS Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 And he'd be right. That is a bigoted statement, pure and simple. What do you think would have been the reaction to : Americans are dicks. Period? or Jews are dicks. Period? or how about African-Americans are dicks. Period? 380470[/snapback] France sucks, the French People suck, and so do you. It's not bigotted if it's true. They are worthless candyasses and we should have never save them ... twice. Edit: French Canadians suck too, can't leave that one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuben Gant Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 FWIW, we'd be sucking the hind one in a lot of areas with this war on terror thingy if it weren't for an excellent relationship with French intelligence. They have been working side by side with us since shortly after 9/11, and have been a LOT of help. 380496[/snapback] My father, long retired, always said he had an excellent relationship with with the French through INTERPOL. Always thought their investigations were top notch...I still prefer Peter Sellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweet baboo Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 You've got to hand it to them. Nobody surrenders as good as the French. They even surrendered the 2016 Olympics before there was any bidding. 380430[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only good that came out of anything French was #7, #11, and #14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're trying to spoil everyone's fun spouting off all the stereotypes. I've heard them described as "our most productive partner in the GWOT." Despite all of the crap they get, they are still very good friends to us. They lost an entire generation of young men to WWI fighting the precusor to Hitler while we and others were sitting on the sidelines. I guess that doesn't count for much.

Kevbeau Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 How many French bashers have even been to France? While I don't agree with their politics, I've found the people to be no more rude than anywhere else. Just like the US...the cities tend to be a bit more rude and self centered, but once you get out into the rest of the country, the people are pretty nice and accomodating. Just passing through CDG airprt doesn't count...you could justify hating the entire country based of that airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Machine gun bullets is no match for the morale of the French soldier!" Why their idiotic tactics in that war should even REMOTELY be considered a feather in their hat is beyond me...

We spoke the language, we were courteous, we were friendly and they still treated us like crap. They randomly canceled our hotel reservations (we get back to the hotel and they say "you need to leave because we want to put someone else in your room"). This was in a small town about 2 hours away from Paris. They were also nasty in Paris. I have no desire to go back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
