Well, that too! I am the same way, if it looks good...eat it!

 

[Trashhead]

And that doesn't only count for food...

It's an illusion of angles.

You guys suck at going to war for no reason.

Sorry to bounce this back up but this is probably one of the most ignorant internet "fads" out there.. and its not surprising i only see this kind of remark from either americans or english.
The only reason why it exists is because of WW2... a war in which england got ass kicked just as much as France (not to mention Poland and Norway).
France was at least 3 times in history the most powerfull military nation in Europe (hence perhaps the world), and since the country existed it has always been among the military powers of the world. this is something very few countries can claim.
Go study history, or dare debate that with me.

Ah that's just some hereditary enmity
No just kidding I wrote it in memory of monty python's frenchies who fucking pwnd!!!1!!1!!111!

Lol yeah, hadn't thought of Monty Python.
So when's belgium finally gonna split? I'm all for it by the way.

 

[Aurvandils tá]

I also hope that belgium splits but it won't happen so soon because the franchie government does not want the wallons and the flamings don't want to share their ritches with the frisians

I though hope Germany and the netherlands (and luxemburg and austria and german switzerland-part) will one day come together again

It sucks to know not what happens to the austries and lützies by watching the news

 

[DragonKeeper]

Until Napoleon's army tried to invade Russia

There are talks about Belgium spliting? Yikes...where have I been. I guess that is what happens when I don't watch the news for a couple of weeks. Shame on me. The last bit of news I watched was on DW TV. It went from talking about how the US economy is in recession and the morgage crisis and how its affecting Germany's economy to football news for the rest of it. You crazy Germans with your football!

From what i understand, the history of Belgium is a lot like Ireland/Northern Ireland, with the Flemish historically getting the short end of the stick...

Okay...
1. I was being sarcastic, I don't hate France
2. You guys definitely got pwned in WW2 way harder than England
3. 3 times...let's see...Napoleon. How long did that last?
Missing out on the other 2, please enlighten me.
4. You guys have had your asses handed to you all through history.

- Gallic Wars
- Lost. In a war whose ending foreshadows the next 2000 years of French history, France is conquered by of all things, an Italian. [Or at ths time in history, a Roman -ed.]

- Hundred Years War
- Mostly lost, saved at last by female schizophrenic who inadvertently creates The First Rule of French Warfare; "France's armies are victorious only when not led by a Frenchman." Sainted.

- Italian Wars
- Lost. France becomes the first and only country to ever lose two wars when fighting Italians.

- Wars of Religion
- France goes 0-5-4 against the Huguenots

- Thirty Years War
- France is technically not a participant, but manages to get invaded anyway. Claims a tie on the basis that eventually the other participants started ignoring her.

- War of Revolution
- Tied. Frenchmen take to wearing red flowerpots as chapeaux.

- The Dutch War
- Tied

- War of the Augsburg League/King William's War/French and Indian War
- Lost, but claimed as a tie. Three ties in a row induces deluded Frogophiles the world over to label the period as the height of French military power.

- War of the Spanish Succession
- Lost. The War also gave the French their first taste of a Marlborough, which they have loved every since.

- American Revolution
- In a move that will become quite familiar to future Americans, France claims a win even though the English colonists saw far more action. This is later known as "de Gaulle Syndrome", and leads to the Second Rule of French Warfare; "France only wins when America does most of the fighting."

- French Revolution
- Won, primarily due the fact that the opponent was also French.

- The Napoleonic Wars
- Lost. Temporary victories (remember the First Rule!) due to leadership of a Corsican, who ended up being no match for a British footwear designer.

- The Franco-Prussian War
- Lost. Germany first plays the role of drunk Frat boy to France's ugly girl home alone on a Saturday night.

- World War I
- Tied and on the way to losing, France is saved by the United States [Entering the war late -ed.]. Thousands of French women find out what it's like to not only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn't call her "Fraulein." Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forces forestalls any improvement in the French bloodline.

- World War II
- Lost. Conquered French liberated by the United States and Britain just as they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song.

- War in Indochina
- Lost. French forces plead sickness; take to bed with the Dien Bien Flu

- Algerian Rebellion
- Lost. Loss marks the first defeat of a western army by a Non-Turkic Muslim force since the Crusades, and produces the First Rule of Muslim Warfare; "We can always beat the French." This rule is identical to the First Rules of the Italians, Russians, Germans, English, Dutch, Spanish, Vietnamese and Esquimaux.

- War on Terrorism
- France, keeping in mind its recent history, surrenders to Germans and Muslims just to be safe. Attempts to surrender to Vietnamese ambassador fail after he takes refuge in a McDonald's.

Hahahahaha .... funny shit. Wasn't that from Jon Stewart's "America"?


I dunno, when it's put like that, maybe France's acheivements are indeed more cultural than military (they're lovers not fighters) But to be fair, Charles Martel's victory at the Battle of Tours was a pretty pivotal event in European history, and Charlemagne was certainly no slouch in the military department. Also, the Brits totally would have been steamrolled in WWII had it not been for the channel. Consider how Rommel's tiny Afrika Korp. kicked their greatly numerically superior asses all over N. Africa until he ran out of supplies.

TBH, I think the French reputation for haughtiness is at the root of their unpopularity. However from what i've heard most of this attitude emanates from Parisians, but outside of Paris they're supposedly pretty cool, at least in N. France..
