Nice. Reminds me of the restaurant owner in (perhaps) Finland who has banned French and German tourists from his place and put their flags on his restaurant door with the big red circle and slash over them. He said if the Germans change their mind he will take down their flag and allow the tourists in but not for the French, they are out permanantly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I dunno... Beating up on the French seems like... Well, like beating up a blind guy! Just too damn easy, and usually not warranted.

Don't forget that the British contributed a few hundred thousand troops to the defence of France. Belgium and their Forts http://www.expage.com/page/west4 were also in the way.

If anybody is interested, "The World At War - Complete Set" of DVDs at amazon.com is an excellent documentary about WW II. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

"The world at war..." is outstanding, I didn't know it was available on CD.

Thanks for the info.

I'm tired of hearing about how the world will hate us.

BIG DEAL. Let them hate us. It will give me a reason to put up signs that say NO GERMANS/RUSSIANS or FRENCH people allowed.

If they can hate us, I can discriminate against them.

Let them hate us? Can't we all just get along?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

To change the name of French Toast and French Fries as a protest of France is totally dumb. Perhaps schools across the US could stop teaching French? Better yet, perhaps we should stop "French" kissing significant others, unless you want to call it "Freedoming"

all a big bunch of bologne. french fries isn't even a french invention. brad just hates foreigners. period. he's always looking for excuses to mess with them. like that one time when he got all upset because that poor (spanish) lady at Mc Donald's in palo alto didn't understand his order (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (or he didn't understand her question?) ... anyways, if i recall history lessons right, most of you guys (more specific your ancestors) came from europe anyways. like germany and france ...
isn't that ironic ????
