Quit bashing the French? HA, that's a good one!

I say we invade France next. Liberate them from the soon to be collapse of their socialist system. Get the population to work a 40 hour week. We could put a NASCAR track at the base of the Eifel (sp?) Tower, a baseball stadium under the Arch de Triumph, make the national language English.

France would be a much better place, and the people way more agreeable and happy if they would just accept that the American way is and will be the future of the world.

Manifest Destiny - it still has just begun!

I know, that's why I almost didn't post. I DID post because I thought if even a couple people saw my post and it caused them to think twice, it was worth it. Those that reacted negatively to it would have reacted that way to the post anyway.

Put yourself in the situation of someone on this board who shares all the characteristics you mentioned with you but ancestry, wouldn't you want to be treated with some respect?

I don't support the French, and I'll admit I found some of the posts funny. I can laugh at myself, but if everyone on the board decided to pick on the Scots tommorrow I'd be a little ticked off too. I just thought it was interesting how people were reacting to this thread.

In the interest of civility I'm closing this thread. We can disagree without being disagreeable.
