Uh? The fuck is going on in France?

[MadeInNewJersey]

Well France still sucks, I don't really care what's going on over there.

 

[NAD]

America doesn't care about france, in fact, they blatantly don't like them for not invading iraq.

that's what this one dude brought up, he said "france didn't help us with iraq so i hope they burn" and while yes, that could be seen as a smattering of comedy gold, i do believe he was serious.

ugh man. thrasymachus, i fucking hate you.

 

[AsModEe]

we don't. America doesn't care about france, in fact, they blatantly don't like them for not invading iraq. So american news isn't going to cover the story. Hell, they aren't even talking about it up here in canada (cause our news mostly comes from the states).

That's different on the other side of the continent They talk about it every day on the news.

haha, thats cause quebec wants to rejoin france

 

[lizard]

I bet its only a matter of time before that looney Fred Phelps weighs in on the French riots.

 

[AsModEe]

haha, thats cause quebec wants to rejoin france

no, not at all. That's a misconception of separatism. We have nothing to do with france:Smug:

 

[lizard]

just as well, because the French French probably think they're superior.

 

[Ellestin]

Well, are we not?

 

[lizard]

I don't know; I just have seen lots of examples of euronationals having a superiority complex over their former colonies.

 

[Ellestin]

I've seen a lot of Americans having a superority complex over everyone. Does that make us even?

 

[lizard]

but in my case it's TRUE

I'm not taking swipes at anyone; I've read a number of English writers criticize American English. And on my Uni board I definitely have debates with uberconservatives who believe if it is not American, it sucks.

i think you can go to any country anywhere and find nationalism in a variety of forms.

i think it's incredibly stupid, i mean "hooray my parents birthed me on this particular plot of land so it is obviously THE BEST CORNFIELD EVAR." i mean patriotism i can understand if you support the actions of your political system, but nationalism? a bit silly to me.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

France sucks, what is there to debate about?

 

[NAD]

yes but now they suck with MORE FIREPOWER.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

yes but now they suck with MORE FIREPOWER.

They do?

 

[NAD]

and oh yeah i stopped hating france when they started opposing the latest iraqi war, even though i was still in support of the invasion. well maybe not support so much as i was not opposed to it at the time.

now obviously i'm a godless communist hippie.

 

[AsModEe]

People should adopt a more universal view... like... being proud of being born on earth? It's one big place with frontiers that silly humans traced. Let's be proud of our planet instead of our country, and let's start kicking some aliens' asses.

[Chromatose]

[Conspicuously Absent]

no, not at all. That's a misconception of separatism. We have nothing to do with france:Smug:
