Well said Badmihai. It's only recently become fashionable to make fun of them. Maybe we should all google "Trinidad-Tobago" or "Mogadishu" military victories and all get a kick out of that.

Twat? :roll:
Pull out whatever's lodged up your ass and learn to take a joke.
I'm French educated (13 years in a french school). I love the country, its culture, and its people. Just as i assume you were, i was unimpressed by the Americans' attitude to the French during and after the Iraq war. However, i can take a joke. Perhaps you should show a little class now, and admit your error?
Apologies for the repost everyone  ops:

That is correct. I recall the battle of Hastings where...oh wait...that's where the French took over your country.

Well I don't think Badmihai were talking about english people but nearest people
And that's right English and French have a long history of I love you , me not too!
That's why a hundred years ago France and England decided to create the
"Entente cordiale". But this is not a problem, I have english friends and it's
part of our relation. I remember the longest dinner I had with some of them
the day they were Rugby world champion
I knew French were known as pretentious, dirty and Grouser but this
is first time I hear we don't have loyalties, some one can confirm it! it's a bit
upsetting!

How could you have missed it? It was all over the papers and TV at the time. Will easily go down as one of the most pathetic political reactions ever imo....

World War 1? I'm telling you this as a friend: you should learn some history before you say something like that. :roll: Please, do tell me how World War 1 ended. Who were the big winners  World War II? I remember the British fighting side by side with the French and being raped up the ass aswell. They were cornered on the French beaches and, only because Hitler thought the Brits were also of superior race, the British soldiers weren't finished off right there. Hitler hesitated. That gave the Brits the chance to evacuate some 300000 troops. Face it: nobody could have resisted the blitzkrieg at the time.
You guys want to talk about the Indochina War? The French pulled out indeed. What did the "oh-so-strong-and brave" Americans do in Vietnam? Is that grounds for calling Americans pussies
Perhaps you should show a little class now, and admit your error?

Stage 1: Denial. What error?  O.K. O.K. I admit I should have taken it more like a joke. But I was just pissed off because people here really think the French are THAT weak. It amused me when I heard Canadians laughing at the French military...when the French could take over Canada in about...oh 5 minutes, if they didn't receive American back-up.
