By the way

Maybe just a tad too far. As in "has this country gone ****ing insane" too far.

err... well english is a variant of indo-european languages so it's related to german/french/whatever but it's not really a germanic language as such

ok, digging up the dead is were I will draw the line,
the boycot I'm all for, but that does go a bit too far,

if some individual wants to dig up there old grand papy that's fine, but beond the shock value this is just... is that even ****ing real!?!
who the hell would do that, it would be political suicide!

Actually

"As a freshman legislator, it's certainly a way to make a splash," he said. "It will probably be a fairly popular move publicly. French-bashing is all the rage right now."

This guy's completely right. Bombastic racism is in now.

If there was any doubt that this is true, the fact that any ape who pours a bottle of French wine down the gutter will get featured in the news is plenty enough to dispel it. Never mind the "First Iraq, Next France" sloganeering.

even the boycot part makes no sense
ur not hurting the goverment of france ur hurting the poeple of france and your hurting yourself or u will smell bad ?
i mean wana change the name of parfume to err

and diging up the dead ? WTF
this might sound stuped but a country is simply a couple of lines on a map, we all live on earth or we all abuse earth pic ur fav

of topic

The thing that interests me is thinking of how the history books are gonna handle this. I mean, really- in twenty years, how will the country be able to look back on itself and take itself seriously? Fifty years from now, will history lessons conveniently gloss this over, try to justify it, or will our grandkids be getting lessons in "The Great Stupidity of Ought-Three"?

[Knight Templar]

heh I knew I had idiots running my country, but not on this level.

wiiierd... didn't know they categorised it that way...

I really think history books will conveniently ignore things... notice that the US (a rebellious part of a nation that refused to pay taxes...) is shown blatantly as a "good" cause in history books (or at least in those dumb childrens stuffs, maybe not so much in "higher" education). Also Abraham Lincoln is shown as some sort of highly ethical person.. hmm

Imagine Bush's big-eared, sad puppy face being preserved in the name of a hero who killed the evil Saddam regime in future children's picture history books...

lol yep; that's because the winners write the history books, as they say.

btw I just remembered, when I was in India, they called the things that we call (whatever) fries potato chips, the potato chips were called wafers and the wafers were simply chips.

[neo_hermes]

.......Freedom fries i don't want to eat them anymore.

i'll stick to something more healthy like a t-bone steak and salad. mmmm T-Bone.

I'm still curious as to what greasy food and freedom have to do with each other.

Or is this just one of those things that sounds clever until you realize it was really poorly thought out?

If I'd have been there for that meeting I would have laughed so hard I would have puked on them all.
