Thanks, Serix, I almost thought for a second that there would be a thread involving France in someway without the same dumbass jokes I’ve heard a billion times. That would suck.
Yes, excuse me for promoting the American stereotype. I’m half French and half Russian, and like to laugh at stereotypes of both. True, it’s overplayed, but quite honestly you can’t expect anyone to be serious about it? Take it with a pinch of salt, and relax, it’ll do your life some good =)
The Franks (pre-French) repelled the Moors from spreading Islam into Europe through modern day Spain. They also unified Europe under Charlemagne, and basically created was is modern day France and Germany (they were one country at their conception… sorta… history is long and complicated).
At the same time Vlad the Impaler repelled invasions from the Muslims from entering from the Southeast of Europe, so it’s not that big of a deal.
Really, history is this region is long and complicated, going back many thousands of years. Modern day France has only really been around since the fall of Napoleon after he conquered and beat all of Europe some 6+ times, after which France was a major military power until WW2, in which we saved them,and never let them forget.
Ignorance is inherent in phrases like “stupid Americans”.
But you’ve got some kind of martyr complex thinking you’ve saved the world and now America/Europe owes you something.
You’re a palms-up bitch digging deep in the trenches of history for mud to sling on people you know nothing about.
Americans owe the French their entire revolution, if not the very idea of democracy itself(sorry Greece).
But now entire western hemisphere should get down on it’s knees and kiss France’s ass?
You’re the one with the ultra sensitive nipples who’s acting like a whiny bitch despite essentially admitting he’s wrong.
You don’t have to kiss France’s ass but you can lick mine, soldier boy.
btw: said tower was actually supposed to be built in Canada, where I’m from, but they turned it down for God knows why.
I’m just tired of the unfunny jokes by brain dead retards like you about France being some pussy of a country when anyone with a fucking brain knows it’s quite the opposite.
Ok, paulisdrunk, wtf? First off, if you want to argue about ‘pre-french’ and put specific boundries on nationality, good luck, Sisyphus.
But, anyway, I’m going to take your mini-history lesson with a grain of salt, as Vlad the Impaler was not only a *Turkish vassal* and grew up in Istanbul, but didn’t actually live “at the same time” as the battle of Tours, but 700 years later. Whatever maintaining of his own independence he did was for nought, because the Ottomans quickly became the masters of Wallachia, much of Ukrainia, and later parts of Hungry, so I don’t imagine he held the tides back or anything.
I do regret typing that as soon as I posted it. It’s surprisingly coherent for how wasted I was. (No, it’s not just a name.) How many times did I use the word repel?
If you know any Camus, the only acceptable answer to life is to approach it as Sisyphus would, for “…one must imagine Sisyphus happy.” Nice use of obscure reference though, you get 3 points. Though I’d imagine you meant it in the allegory of traditional Greek myth and not as a simile for the lifestyle of man in the modern era as described by modern day Absurdism.
I’m going to go beer bong some Pabst and start a petition to return the Statue of Liberty to France. Maybe we can get Japan to build us a giant mechwarrior of ass-kicking peace instead.
Ummmm…..uhh…..Fuck France! errr…… GO USA!! uh, the people from the colony of Sardines was invading the Island of Sandwich. And then the vassals boarded their vessels and sailed so Versailles… Then Napoleon had some Dynamite. IT was crazy. But now… the french are meeker and the USAers are Badass! Go USA.
Real Time with Bill Maher- New Rule: Erectile Dysfunction “We may never know what the World Trade Center meant to our enemies, but our inability to build anything on the site in six years symbolizes our national head up the ass. You know it took two years to build the Eiffel Tower in the 1880s, by hand, by French guys while screwing their mistresses. Of course we can’t rebuild Iraq, we can’t get shit done in SoHo. And while we’re on the subject, New Rule: Conspiracy Weary “Crazy people, who still think the government brought down the Twin Towers in a controlled explosion have to stop thinking I’m the one being naive.
wow, thats just stunning to look at….
BTW what is the function of the Eifel Tower?
To defend Paris against parachuters. If you believe this, then shove radium up your arse.
I can see its pee-pee from this angle.
It looks a little bit like Goatse, does anyone else see that?
upskirt?
It’s the universal symbol for the white flag
I think it’s to remind stupid Americans that without the French you’d be a Muslim nation right now along with Europe.

@magnus:
Is that a crusades reference, or are you simply trying to share your ignorance everyone else?
@... Gaexion,
Here you go little fella.
Thanks for sharing your ignorance.
Stay in school.
PS: please no diatribes on the nationality on who occupied where at the time. It was the damned French.

This has been your mini-history lesson.
Oh, crap… this is MCR!
*achem*
Stupid French! Go eat frogs ‘n’ stuff!
BEWBZ!

Go eat a proverbial dick.
So there’s no such thing as a stupid American?
Where you from then asshole, Mexico?

By Istanbul, I mean Erdine, but my point still stands, goddamnit.
…in all fairness he is drunk…

I’ve never ever insulted France, ever.
You should try it.
