WOW the one with the glasses looks like my ex GF with red hair... And you look like the mother of the gilmore girls but younger

I wasnt talking about the revolution
We lost a battle. So what?

Yeah, except that Belgium was property of the Austrian Empire before France got it.. The huge Austrian Empire which was allied to the Brits, the Spanish, the Prussians..etc.. as I said, study your history before blabbering about.
The Spanish. Like they were gonna do anything about it.

Napoleon actually wasn't short for his time. Its a historical misconception. You could read all about it but the problem is that you actually need to open a book. Bummer...
A: It's a joke
B: You keep accusing me of being illiterate. It's getting ridiculous
And yeah, invasion of Russia was pretty bold.. but considering France handed Europe's ass on a plate since 1789 till the invasion of Russia (1812) Napoleon was a little crazed up. But there wasn't anything stupid about it, Russians were pissing their pants, they thought they'd lose. But their Cossaks do kick ass.
There was something stupid about it. It's called winter.
Oh, and Napoleon was definately smarter than you, or me for that matter.
Great.
Also, lets talk about some very germanic countries which don't even compare militarilly speaking to france : the scandinavian countries. sure they had a kick ass viking age.. then what? (again, I don't care for that.. just need to offer a base of comparison...)
Then they chilled out and started being awesome in other ways (like having beautiful women who shave their armpits).
Besides, the Viking Age was way more awesome than the Napoleonic Era, the royal system, and charlemagne put together. It also lasted longer.
I was defending history from your ignorant acusations.
You mean my facetious accusations.
(btw, you may want to add Iraq in that list.. well, I guess we'll see).
We haven't lost there. We have military control of the country. We're just getting shot. I'm no supporter of occupation, but I do agree that the war is over. The quagmire has begun.

Throughout history France has always been a "dangerous" nation for its neighbors or an important ally.
Um...I seem to remember you guys getting your asses kicked for a while until Joan of Arc saved you. Something about the British controlling Paris...maybe it's just me.
There is no calculating the time, but it has often been longer than 50 years (thats the time the US has been the top military country but thats debatable considering the USSR.. i personally don't think it will last much longer to be honest but we shall see)[/QUOTE
A. We've been top more than 50 years. More like 100, tbh.
B. If the Chinese get guns, we're all fucked.
hmmmm... no.. they had guns... your copy/paste post mentioned Dien Bien Phu I believe.. the battle.. famous cause the viets surprisingly managed to carry heavy artillery at the top of difficult hills.
Now it is you who is ill informed. When the rebellion began they fought with ancient, rusted muskets. Those who had them. The majority had no firearms. They eventually used captured French weapons.
But since your in that logic of comparison : the americans got ass kicked in Viet Nam although the vietnamese had already fought an 8 year war with the french (2nd largest colonial empire in the world, btw..)
A. We did better than you. When you left, Vietnam was fine. When we left, it was a smoking craphole.
B. Colonial empire = look, we shot the black guy with the stick and took his land.
There is no sarcasm in what you're saying... you clearly believe it.
Um...I think I would know.
You're the typical american guy who has a problem with the french hence you call on fictional history to justify your hatred. I've seen tons of guys like you over the net.
I have no problem with the French at all. Seriously. But if you represent the typical French guy, I might. Is it true that you guys have no capacity to detect sarcasm?

Yeah, thanks for Mc Donald's and bringing democracy to Iraq.. sure seems to work.
Okay....
A. I don't eat at McDonalds. While I cannot deny the deliciousness of the food (it's pure fat and sugar, don't deny it tastes good), it repulses me. I also think their marketing techniques are evil.
B. I have always opposed the Iraq War. Saddam was obviously a dick, but he did keep order. There would be more Iraqis alive today, living in better conditions, if we hadn't invaded.

Kidding for the Mc Donald's thing.. and i'm not anti-american considering I am american...
Oh, okay.
Never accused you of anti-americanism. (Did I? if I did, I take it back). Anyhow, I frequently find myself hating this country (like when someone leaves 80 million dollars to her cat while schools in poor neighborhoods are unable to pay teachers, or when the government spends 5 thousand dollars a second to pay for a war started on false premises, or when the media devolves into a frenzy over some politician who cheated on his wife when everyone knows that the rest of them are probably doing worse, or when I hear about luxury condos built above a mall so that people never have to go outside, or..../rant). Overall I don't hate the country, but sometimes our society just appalls me.

yeah the red haired girl is laura, and the curly haired girl is naomi.. i dont think i look like the mother out of gilmore girls lol (you wouldnt believe some of the women that other people say i look like.. it changes dramatically each time), but as long as it's a compliment then im happy.. :p
 
how does complimenting equate to hitting on? if you never give a girl a compliment, she will never know she is pretty!

Ok, well, if I were to say "if I weren't married already, I'd fly to Australia to jam some AA with you over a couple beers....that's how attractive you are", would that be a compliment or hitting on? :heh:
 
There was something stupid about it. It's called winter.

Winter wasn't really the problem at first.. the real problem was the russian's scourched earth tactic, which made the winter deadly. Who would have thought they'd actually burn Moscow (sp?) to the ground?
The 3rd Reich's invasion of Russia was stupid, yes. Because it was already done for the first time on a big scale with Napoleon.. that defeat was the first reminder.. to copy it was stupid. To try it out for the first time was bold.


Then they chilled out and started being awesome in other ways (like having beautiful women who shave their armpits).
Besides, the Viking Age was way more awesome than the Napoleonic Era, the royal system, and charlemagne put together. It also lasted longer.

lol, french girls shave their armpits too.. that stereotype comes from french erotic movies of the 1950s or something.
(and the Viking age didn't last longer than the royal system, but don't worry, i know you didn't mean that)

Um...I seem to remember you guys getting your asses kicked for a while until Joan of Arc saved you. Something about the British controlling Paris...maybe it's just me.

Yeah.. but the 100 years war continued for a few decades after Joan of Arc died.. she didn't save the country.. she did mark a turn point in the war though.
But the 100 years war is quite a good example. the main reason for it can be traced back to when the normans invaded england.. hence William the Conqueror became king of England and vassal of the french King... he possessed lands in France.. let that situation increase for a few generations of Norman-decendant English Kings and you got a british king with french land, claiming more.
So the cause of the 100 years war is actually the successful french (or norman if you prefer) invasion of England. And before you say it, yes the normans have viking blood, but also frankish blood (and at a higher level according to specialists) which explains why they were totally francisised. (sp?)


We've been top more than 50 years. More like 100, tbh.

I wouldn't say the US was THE top military nation before their victory in WW2. Among the top sure.

A. We did better than you. When you left, Vietnam was fine. When we left, it was a smoking craphole.
B. Colonial empire = look, we shot the black guy with the stick and took his land.

Yeah, indeed, Indochina wasn't a craphole when France left. Why? because it was a colony, and France fought to keep it as a usefull one.. not as a unusable scourched earth. When the french understood that the colony had become too expensive to keep (in money and men) they left.
The americans fought there to beat communism. They also loved using helicopters and napalm.
As for colonial empires, their main enemies or competition were the other colonial empires. France, England, the Netherlands, the Belgians, the Spanish, the Portugese..etc.. France lost many colonial lands to the brits (and a huge part of the US was french land sold to the americans by.. Napoleon.. he shouldn't have but well). They still had the 2nd largest.

I have no problem with the French at all. Seriously. But if you represent the typical French guy, I might. Is it true that you guys have no capacity to detect sarcasm?

The reason why that word exists in the english language is probably the french. ;) (who imported it among many other latin words when they invaded england).

Edit : oh, and how would you know what the typical french guy is? Did you ever live here?
But i'm not the typical french guy considering i'm a nationalist, and most french are leftists with only "human rights" and "tolerance" in their vocabulary.

Oh, okay.
Never accused you of anti-americanism. (Did I? if I did, I take it back).

No you didn't accuse me of anti-americanism. I just said it so you don't get the wrong impression.
 
Aaand that should be about all that we hear about this discussion in this thread.

I don't have any pics of my own, but here's a bunny with a pancake on it's head

aww thanks, its not hitting on coz ur not actually gonna do it.. and i have a bf anyway :p .. it's kind of the same as a 60yr old man saying 'if i was 40 years younger...' - no one seriously takes that as a hit on..
 
:lol: Because you know on the other side of the compliment is some pale kid with one hand on the keyboard and the other in his lap.
:lol:

Dude...Russians are crazy. Don't mess.

Um...bold meaning disastrous (even more disastrous than the German invasion). Some things aren't meant to be tried out.

lol, french girls shave their armpits too.. that stereotype comes from french erotic movies of the 1950s or something.
I've seen enough french porn to take issue with that.

(and the Viking age didn't last longer than the royal system, but don't worry, i know you didn't mean that)
Did outlast the Napoleonic era etc.

Yeah.. but the 100 years war continued for a few decades after Joan of Arc died.. she didn't save the country.. she did mark a turn point in the war though.
It's because she's a woman, right? You won't give her credit for saving the country because she's a woman? Napoleon kicks ass and gets tons of credit even though he's a short motherfucker who gets everyone killed, but Joan of Arc gets burned at the stake for you assholes and this is how you repay her? :p

But the 100 years war is quite a good example. the main reason for it can be traced back to when the normans invaded england.. hence William the Conqueror became king of England and vassal of the french King... he possessed lands in France.. let that situation increase for a few generations of Norman-decendant English Kings and you got a british king with french land, claiming more.
I'm quite aware that medieval politics were fucking complicated...not an expert here in any way, so I'm not gonna mess.

Well, we won the war. That would seem to prove that we were the top.

Yeah, indeed, Indochina wasn't a craphole when France left. Why? because it was a colony, and France fought to keep it as a usefull one.. not as a unusable scourched earth. When the french understood that the colony had become too expensive to keep (in money and men) they left.

Sarcasm again. Might want to look out for that.

France lost many colonial lands to the brits (and a huge part of the US was french land sold to the americans by.. Napoleon.. he shouldn't have but well).
Lemme see...you guys lost in the French and Indian War (or the Seven Years War, I think, for you Europeans). Then the British made the Spanish give you guys the territory. Then Napoleon needed cash, so he sold it to us for a ridiculously low price.


The reason why that word exists in the english language is probably the french. ;) (who imported it among many other latin words when they invaded england).
Dude. British humor is world renowned for it's dry sarcasm. Don't even try to steal it.

Edit : oh, and how would you know what the typical french guy is? Did you ever live here?
I have no idea about the typical french guy. Which is why I'm involuntarily (this is how the human mind works, no real way to fight it) forming my misconceptions about them based on you.

But i'm not the typical french guy considering i'm a nationalist, and most french are leftists with only "human rights" and "tolerance" in their vocabulary.
Here in America we have a problem with human rights. See, the citizens like it. But the government and the corporations that own it don't really seem to big on it. Gets in the way of doing whatever the fuck they want. So when I see someone bashing human rights advocates, I get a little antsy. Even though I'll be the first to agree that they can get a little ridiculous now and then.
No you didn't accuse me of anti-americanism. I just said it so you don't get the wrong impression.
Well, I didn't. So that's good.
I choose to be in denial over it, makes life easier :lol:
Don't worry, I keep my hand out of my lap. But I'm not gonna lie to you about the pale thing. And I guess I'm at my keyboard right now...

Now and then? Try all the fuck time! They think there are "special rights" you get "just for being human." Hell no, motherbitch! You earn those rights.

(Mostly by being born white/ in America/ rich as motherfuck)

:lol:
I meant stuff like not getting deported and tortured in eastern europe. Or shot. Or starving, or being raped, or having your home burned, or whatever.

BTW, are you gonna be on this forum now too?
 
:lol:

Dude...Russians are crazy. Don't mess.

indeed lol.

hehe, well, i prefer badasses who aren't icons for catholics to be honest ;). But yeah, sure, she was badass... but there's a lot of mythology surounding her... like apparently she was a poor little 18 year old virgin who came from this little french town in which they spoke a dialect of french which never would have been understood by "royal" french.. and she still managed to control an army? no king is that desperate.. even considering the situation.

Well, we won the war. That would seem to prove that we were the top.

Well yeah, but without wanting to sound like a science fiction buff... had the USA not been a few thousand miles from Europe, Germany probably would have invaded its ass easilly like it did to every country in its path till 1942.
And more realistically, once the US invaded Europe, the war was well on and Germany had difficulties with Russian winter... same scenario with WW1.. you came in, fresh, when the nations were pretty much tired after years of war.

Lemme see...you guys lost in the French and Indian War (or the Seven Years War, I think, for you Europeans). Then the British made the Spanish give you guys the territory. Then Napoleon needed cash, so he sold it to us for a ridiculously low price.

Yeah, indeed. Pretty useless considering Napoleon lost what was gained thanks to that cash (to finance warfare in Europe).. too bad :p

Even though I'll be the first to agree that they can get a little ridiculous now and then.

Just so you know, the french invented human rights... with all that french revolution thing... and to top that.. Napoleon spread the idea by conquering Europe! ^^
I'm all for human rights myself, the problem is that people tend to "invoke" it for anything...
When millions of african immigrants who don't give a flying fuck about our laws and culture come here, leftist fags defend them hailing the human rights. What I call the dictatorship of anti-racism is a spawn of the human rights. Now we can't say shit. Political correctness is a spawn of human rights. Human rights has now become a form of totalitarianism if you ask me, if you feel differently than for the mass of brainwashed sheep you are an outcast, a pariah.
I don't want to get all political about it here but a good example of that in european society is its dealings with islam. I won't elaborate more on that matter but its a prime example of europe's anus being exposed for the muslims to freely sodomise it thanks to those "tolerance" fanatics.. if I may..

Probably...but the, we would have been arming too, so we would have been ready. However, this is irrelevant because the whole point of America is that it's not in Europe.

Yeah, indeed. Pretty useless considering Napoleon lost what was gained thanks to that cash (to finance warfare in Europe).. too bad :p

Yeah, that was a bad call.

Just so you know, the french invented human rights... with all that french revolution thing...
As well as feminism. 2 things I support in moderation, and 2 things that have a tendency to get ridiculous.

Yeah. We call that PC here, and it's annoying. We have to pretend like black people aren't statistically more likely to commit crimes, and that Asian people aren't more likely to excel in math, and that lower-income kids aren't more likely to drop out of school and do drugs. Even though that stuff is all true. It's ridiculous.
