KRC Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Belgium is a suburb of France. Netherlands are pretty cool, though. 380905[/snapback] I used to work with a guy from Belgium. It always pissed him off when we referred to him as "Frenchie" or that Belgium was just a state of France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will then try either a Belgian Wit or try to make a clone of Chimay Blue (Belgium). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, they sure are sensitive... 380969[/snapback] He should tell France that Japan will attack them if the lawsuit isn't dropped. You'll see white flags sooner than you can say ribbbb-it. I don't even think Japan has an army and they could probably still kick France's ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 In a related story... Damn, they sure are sensitive... 380969[/snapback] It's natural for different languages to have different names for numbers and different ways of counting them, so it's unacceptable for him to insult French in this way. Thereby establishing via implication that there is, in fact, a manner in which it is acceptable to insult the French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Of course, you neglect to mention that they lost that generation because they were criminally stupid. "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... 380707[/snapback] Yeah, no kidding. No damn wonder the poilus started to mutiny - if I were in their (rotting from trenchwater and God know what else) boots, I probably would've said the French equivalent of "F#^! this !!", too. Funny thing is, though - after he spent fifteen months 'over there', my grandfather came home respecting the German people but hating the arrogant French... and the Germans were the ones shooting at him.....

It was probably very hard to repsect the German people? My father was there in early 1950's and through out Europe... He did comment on how clean Germany (just 5 years after WWII) was compared to other cities... I think the Schlitz cans floating in the canals of Venice really tainted things for that city.

Just the way people glorified Venice and then his take on it was vastly different. My 7 year old son checked out the book The Kid Who Invented The Trampoline from the library... Pretty cool book about 50 inventions... The toilet one was a hoot! Inventions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 You forgot cheese eating... 381679[/snapback] That particular day is indicative of the French uber-Hotpocket mentality. Just a decade or two later, they allowed a Corsican Corporal to proclaim himself Emperor of the French.

Ghost of BiB Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 TERRORISM ALERT IN FRANCE The AP and UPI reported that the French government announced yesterday that it had raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The only two higher levels in France are, "Surrender" and "Collaborate". The raise was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively disabling their military.
