Why when France is talked about only Napoleon is mentioned.  What about William the Conqueror (also the bastard)?  He bloody took over England and made it his own.  Look at the English language and you can see a lot of french in it.  Doubt me... any word that ends in "ion" is french in origin.

"Ion" itself is not French.

[Falcon X]

not Ion... -ion.  Constitution... combustion... etc IS.

And at any rate, I just remembered- Napoleon was Corsican.

So much for that.

Yup... the best French general was William the Bastard.  He was Norman.

Actually, a great number of them are taken directly from Latin without mediation through French.  French was very formative in the development of English, of course, but the above statement is patently false.

William the Conquerer took over england, but he was assimilated into the culture. Actually a good thing, because we almost took over all of France during the 1600's.

So, having fun all of you? I have no doubt about it now, the level of HLP has dropped right into the sewers.
It stinks.

Meh, without the French America might've had a hard time getting independence as fast as they did.

Well, i'm growing a bit tired of all that french racism going on on these boards, and I'm seriously thinking about leaving this damn community who can now only be defined by its level of agressivity ( which is going through the roof ). why wasting my time for a bunch of dumbasses who obviously hate french, and, so, hate me by the same way?

Hey, I do NOT hate French. Its mainly the Americans here that hate 'm. We had a news report on the 6 o' clock news here about that. A Dutch reporter went into an American grocery store (NY) and asked "normal" ppl about the French.

General awnsers:

They suck.

They're cowards.

Boycott all French products!

I'll buy the Dutch Gouda cheese instead of french Camenbert now!

I don't know about you, I was talking about everybody on this board, in general. This is going on and on for weeks now, and I'm fed up. If this keeps going on, I'll just leave. And don't come and tell me about jokes or **** like that, I see no jokes in this thread, just acneic teenagers releasing their hormones as they can.

Its quite how people can be so self-centered, egocentric and deaf. The French disagree on something and suddebnly they are the bad guys. The US and pro-US'ers have an attitude like this: "Do as we say or we'll **** you over with propaganda and insults".

I think the French can be proud for having their own opinion and not giving in to the intimidation of the US.

anywayz, I'm also fed up with nationality bashing.

Hey, I don't hate the French, I think their military is rather lacking in these recent years and thats probably why they want to back off on Iraq - in addition to probably numerous economic and or morality issues.  But you gotta admit, some of these jokes are rather funny and are far cleaner than some of the anti-american jokes that have been flung around this community.

well no, I don't find this funny, if you wonder why I don't make jokes about peopes nationality, it's because the one who is the target NEVER finds it funny to be mocked up. And here the tone is not of jokes. And ****, I don't give a damn, have fun, you all.
