Ask Sloww. He is more qualified than I am to explain in which way he was attempting to offend people who are dead (or older than 80) through insults addressed to their descent. Hopefully he will also tell you what makes him so sure to be more courageous in any circumstance than all French people on this forum.

Hahahah! franch are chicken surrender moran mankis!!!

Nice going, Sloww. You've shown us your level of maturity.

Can you imagine the reaction of some of the US posters if someone posted an inflamatory picture of an edited US flag?

Defiant · June 10, 2003, 12:43

I'm sure some dope, somewhere, someplace has done so.

MikeH · June 10, 2003, 12:45

Yeah, and quite rightly they'd have been slated for it.

Two wrongs don't make a right etc.

Defiant · June 10, 2003, 12:46

It all depends if it is two wrongs, maybe there is a right and a wrong, but opinions are like ***holes, everybody has one.

Nubclear · June 10, 2003, 14:31

When I had my burning flag US avatar......I was ignored by some posters, flamed, people (AMERICANS, specifically) wanted me banned......

Thats the reaction that would happen

God Blesser America.

What is wrong in not respecting the flag of other nations is that it induces the rest of the world not to respect yours.

Agreed. Sloww, no matter how funny it is, it's rude and uncalled for. Now, quickly, someone do the same thing to the American flag so Ming has a reason to close the thread

Really, why is it such a big deal? The French saved some of our dudes. Quit *****ing and thank them instead of arsing around about it.

Defiant · June 10, 2003, 15:29

The phrase, "Too Little, Too Late, comes to mind.

You're kidding, right? Americans get to see their flag degraded, burned, lampooned, spat on and generally insulted almost every day in the world media. Frankly. we're mostly immune to it by now.

That being said, there's no need to incite people needlessly with this kind of nonsense. Freedom of expression means putting up with the scorn you receive for your outbursts. So have a

or two and we'll call it a day.

No..........shame on me and actually shame on us all...........AFA being labled a wanna-be patriot that is incorrect. I am not a patriot. I do however stand for justice, dignity, honor, and kindness. Govt. liberals are out to destroy the moral fabric of society. Look at what happened to the Roman Empire friend. It is happening here in the USA. It's only a matter of time before the barbarians are knocking at the gates while our snotty stuck up senators debate issues in governmental chambers.

Sava,
You should really learn the meaning of the word ignorant. Most of us here know a hell of alot more than you about US-French relations. You might want to look at your own backyard for the meaning of that word, you were better off using moron.

Roman Empire friend.

The Roman Empire was being attacked from all directions. Also, you should know that after the end of slavery, the inventions of movies, radio, TV, and during all economic upturns (and a lot of downturns), people have argued that our moral fabric is being destroyed. (Actually, they always have been. Check it out.) You probably should refer to the "Good old days" thread

blanketly hating an entire nationality of people due to government relations is ignorant

edit: ...so are baseless assertions about how much one might know about history

mrmitchell · June 10, 2003, 15:56

Sava.

Being ignorant of another's culture due to their government is ignorant in itself.

Defiant · June 10, 2003, 16:05

My point of view of this is the conflict of the French gov't and its supporters which is a vast amount and an even greater amount dislike the United States.
This so-called French allie is a fasad. Those wingnuts have been jerking our chain for years now. From the early 80's when we couldn't fly across their airspace enroute to Libya to current day, they have gone out of their way to be a thorn in our ass. I am not very appreciative of it, so lets put this on an even playing field, have them admit they don't like us being the world power that they want to become and lets take it from there, honestly is the best policy.

Sava · June 10, 2003, 16:08

it sounds like you just want your ego stroked by the French, defiant

Harry Seldon · June 10, 2003, 16:10

All I know is my personal experience with the French has been less than ideal. I'm not saying they're all bad, just most of them.

Defiant · June 10, 2003, 16:16

Sava,
This is nothing about egos, it is what is expected out of an "allie". And put simply, they haven't been one recently.

Sava · June 10, 2003, 16:20

why because they don't fall in line

Defiant · June 10, 2003, 16:23

NO,
They are a sovreign nation and I wouldn't expect them to fall in line every time, they are entitled to their opinion's but every time they get a chance to submarine us they do, that goes beyond just differences in opinion.
And it can be as petty as fly over rights to a known terrorist nation.

Sava · June 10, 2003, 16:35

I don't think America has any right to complain about the French being difficult in terms of diplomacy. Since the UN's inception, there have been over 250 security council vetos... 73 coming from the US. And before the Iraq war, 1 from France... in 1976. So who is the ally who is being difficult?

too many Americans suffer from the "our sh1t don't stink" syndrome...

Japher · June 10, 2003, 16:39

Sava: It aint the "our stink don't sh1t syndrom", too lazy to fix that, but you know what I mean

it's the "our guns are bigger so listen to us syndrom"... Shessh, get it straight.

they are intertwined... both a product of ignorance

Defiant · June 10, 2003, 16:40

I am not going to take your word about the vetoes without backup proof and what they were about, you have been known just to throw crap out there.
Show me any link you have and I will look at it.

England is an allie, Tony Blair went balls out for us and I can only hope we can return the favor, soon.

Here I will help you with the site:

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0311-10.htm

So as you can see, we haven't used it the most and most of ours are to defend an "allie" according to this article, was Iraq an allie of France?
