joeking27 Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 I've had a revalation. Everytime someone post a joke mocking America, they flamed. By people who like to tell French jokes. Thing is, there loads more Americans here than French people. Indeed, I can only think of one Frenchy. When mocking America on here, theres a chance for a witty and razor sharp comeback. Not that I'm expect much in the way of that. Link to post Share on other sites

Sledge Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 I think that's the problem: if the Sceptics shot us down in flames with a dazzling show of wit and verbal dexterity, we'd all start making jokes about the French, or some other nation that doesn't have English as a first language, so probably wouldn't flame us very well. But instead, they (the Yanks) just get all huffy. And that's kinda funny, so we keep doing it. Link to post Share on other sites

CallOfKtulu Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 and your not even english either... you have NO REASON to hate the french, none at all, sure the english members will make jokes about the french but thats because the english and the french have always taken the ###### out of each other its part of the national culture however america would NOT EVEN EXIST without france it would still be an english colony and you would probably no be here so keep your opinions to yourself <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have no reason eh? Well I'll make this short, I'll start at Vietnam, we went in there not only to stop the "dominoe effect" (fear of comunisim spreading if asian contrys converted), but also to help our long lived allies, the Freanch. Before a good number of our troops even got there the french retreated backing out of the contry. And just so you all remember, France also would'nt be there if it wern't for us either. Remember WW2, ohhhhh, yeeeaaahhhhh. Exactly, so please stop getting on me about it, its my opinion not yours, if you dont like it, just take it, dont neg rep me cause you dont agree, thats just plain stupid.

joeking27 Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Way to go dumbass. And regarding opinions, you're entitled to yours. We're entitled to take the ###### out of it, and generally rip it to shreds. Just remind me where coming in WW2 2 years after the rest of the Allies allows you to make ###### jokes? And yes you're entitled to your opinion. We're entitled to take the ###### out of it, and generally mock. Link to post Share on other sites
Gene Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Wait wait wait wait WAIT, you whined to me about me not likeing the freanch, yet look at that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Clearly those two smilies went in one ear and straight out the other. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt because you haven't been around too long and say that around here, when one is being sarcastic one should include smilies. I did that and you didn't pick up on it, and I'm so nice I won't even include a joke about Americans and sarcasm. And please don't double post again, you can edit... See?

This lead to the death of 8000 french servicemen in combat and then capture of another 7000 of whom only half survived the brutal march to hanoi and imprisonment. This after a 56 day siege, characterised by constant bombardment from the enemy who were using 200 captured american howitzers from the Korean war given to the Viet Minh by the chinese. and somehow though the this hell hole the french were fighting in they managed to inflict 20,000 casualties on the enemy, does this soundlike the action of a cowardly nation? of cowardly soldiers who wave white flags at everyone? no it *fruitcage* well does not! so please if your going to insult the men and women who died fighting for their country any country dont do it infront of me Link to post Share on other sites
Robot 2000 Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Not to mention the fact that at home the french people were AGAINST the war and people in armaments factories were sabotaging weapons and equipment before it got sent out to the soldiers. And the Americans didn't do too well in Vietnam, Somalia, Iraq, et al now did they? Link to post Share on other sites
mower Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 yes and that in the first indochina war the french used conventional tactics and were wiped out and in the second indochina war the americans failed to learn from previous mistakes. Thus both failed in a counter insurgency war. but that is besides the point because you call of ktulu should not be talking *beep* about things your obviously quite ignorent about Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Blackgoat Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 agree with that : look at "we were soldier", good movie (beside the "american" sight of french Foreign Legion), and you'll see that with a clever general, studying History (he reads alot about french war in the movie), and well trained and equiped and professionnal and volunteer troups, you can do miracles, even against home fighting great soldiers as VietNamese regular Army. Note that when the movie takes place, the US opinion didn't care very much about that war. Now, french Army was composed of non-volonteers, badly trained and equiped, with pro-communists syndicates and part of government acting against french interests and military activities (inteligence and sabotaging), not to mention the fact that US government, allied to the french, where secretly supporting the "white" part of Vietnamese revolution, the "royalist" that ended as the South VietNam government, by carrying financial and political support to them (sound like Afganistan in the 80's, no?). All or part of those facts can be applied to WWII invasion of France, and Algerian War. Now, listen to History : today's US soldiers are not motivated enough, and the recruitment is poor quality (I have read that, and that can be applied to French or English or whatever modern army today, I guess). The entire world minus some big nations are against it, or at least, the way the US Army makes it (emptying the clips at the first doubt is the best way to make -deadly- mistakes, and to have bad media reports, and to have public opinion against military action - Viet Nam, Algeria, and OIF tested) Link to post Share on other sites
