France did something right for once! - Page 3

I don't think the people of North Koreans hate us any more than we hate them. Our respective governments have some issues, tho but I don't see that trickling down to a personal level.

The actual citizens of France hate the actual citizen of the United States. They always have and they always will. I spent enough time there to know. And, as Bruce indicated, this goes wayyyy back.

Fuck the French.

The people of North Korea are completely and totally fucked.

I believe there is no other word to describe them.

OnyxCougar · 03-20-2004, 09:59 PM

And I love how people say "your war", like I started it, or even went over there.

And for the record, I was pissed at the French before I even moved to the United States, so fuck all ya'll that wanna say it's "an American thing".

They're pretentious assholes.

Our hatred of the french predates the Iraq war, Jag.

These are people who eat snails, bathe infrequently, and love Jerry Lewis.

We hate them because they are french, not because of what they do.

Ok first things first.
Hands up here who's heard of the French Foreign Leigon. Yea the guys with the funny white hats. Outside special forces I challange you to find a more hardarsed, hardened, battle-ready force. They've been in countless conflicts actoss africa and some of the shite they did in Vietnam...utterly insane. Take Dien Bien Phu. The last regiment to give way was the French Foreign Leigon, they ran out of ammo and held off the vietcong for a day and a half, under heavily artillery fire with hand-to-hand weaponary. I've heard countless examples of these guys. One guy's scout tank got hit my a mine in algeria, rest of the screw survived, with a skull fracture and a shattered elbow he managed to fucking walk back to base, took 2 days.

Secondly, move french I've met smell of Gvinchey or Chanel.

Thirdly, I don't get the obsession with French military history. I mean is that the only measure of the greatness of a nation? I mean you know, sod the fact they set up a fantastic secular republic, forget the cultural achievements et al.

Considering the role they played in your civil war I find the whole thing kind of amusing if very silly.

and why are YOU pissed at the french OnxyCougar. Beestie, trust me, it's far worse in South Korea. Most of Europe doesn't like America, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Spain are all places where general sentiment is anti-american.

jaguar · 03-21-2004, 02:30 AM

Many of them are French, it's a French army led by Frenchmen.

You were the one that brought up the military (Afganistan) and I pointed out that's not the only reason to dislike them.
I was under the impression that French citizens were not allowed to serve in the foriegn legion. Those that did, were hiding under an assumed name.

jaguar · 03-21-2004, 07:51 AM

It's common enough, I know a few people that did a stint and my great uncle was in for 10 years. They take all types to say the least. If everything ever goes to shit, I keep enough money in a seperate account to get me to france and in.

As for the military thing, every time I hear this antifrench thing raise it's head the main angle of attack always seems to be 'they got invaded, and we bailed them out, ha, ha, ha'.

Undertoad · 03-21-2004, 08:28 AM

So basically what you are saying is that all the tough guys in France are in one division and only some of them are French and they might have to sneak in.

Got it.
