Bad Taste Office Humor Week continues.
I've been invaded by the French. Can't you smell 'em? Did you know that France has the lowest per capita use of soap of any developed nation? No wonder they use so much perfume.
Over the last few days I have seen comments in my French bashing posts and, as some of 'em are amusing, I'd like to share them with y'all.

Hum, I am a little confused. I am french and I dont see what you want to demonstrate. Maybe that the american is superior to the french, as did Hitler with the Jews??
Maybe you are just dumb, maybe xenophobic, maybe both??
Well, yeah. America is superior to France. We have more freedoms. We are wealthier. We are more powerful. Dumber? No. America leads the world in technology. And as for xenophobic, we do not have a Ministery of Culture whose main job is to try to keep French culture and the French language 'pure'. Now that, mon ami, is an example of xenophobia. And your Ministery of Culture is gonna be working overtime on that Muslim time bomb that's ticking away. Good luck. No on second thought, get fucked!
Hey you american people:

See my above about technology. And your diet is much higher in cholesterol than ours. And I didn't know that cholesterol was intoxicating. Take a bath!!! (if you ever can.)
How many french poeple did you kill in Normandy in 1944 bombing all the towns in this aeria ?

you are nothing else but shit !

Just damn! Too bad we didn't kill all of your family. You are nothing else but merde!
Noel posted a long rambling diatribe. Here are some excerpts:
You're quoting Mark Twain, but did you know he was opposed to the Philippines'wars (1898-1902) ?
What does that have to do with Mark Twain hating the French?
And I'm sure someone as intelligent as Mark Twain was
He sure was. He hated the French.
would have been opposed to the US intervention without the UN approval and control as he was with the US intervention in Philippines.
Now how would you know that? Maybe as an American, he would have been pissed off about war being declared on us on 9/11. And if he would have seen the French opposing us going into Iraq, he would have automatically thought it to be a splendid idea. In Mark Twain's later years he became a bitter satirist. He would have enjoyed the irony of Libya and Cuba being on the UN Human Rights Commission.
I've been reading the french-bashing section of your "bloghaus" with interest at first,
Good stuff, huh?
but not a long time after with disgust.
Too fucking bad!
What a tremendous load of xenophobia and hatred towards my small country
The hatred is reciprocal. Y'see, I have been in over 25 countries. The rudest people I have ever met in my entire life have been the French, especially those in Paris. In every country I have ever been in, the people loved it when I tried to speak some of their language (Italy, Germany, Spain, Russia, Turkey, Greece, the Phillippines, Japan, China, and many others). Not so France. France is the epitome of xenophobia.
(yes, I'm a frenchman,
I feel sorry for you
nobody's perfect... and we're perfectly happy not being, nor aspiring to be, a world-class powerful country any more).
Too bad no one told Chirac that since he is trying to dominate the EU.
It's a shame that with the Internet people like you can think local, act global and pour a tremendous load of shit.

One last historical point, I'm grateful for the USA to have freed my country from the Nazis,
You could have fooled me.
but I'm a little doubtful about their motives.
Germany declared war on us. That isn't in French history books?
(You can't blame me for being a little bit wary with people who seem to embark in a holy crusade each time they make war and accomodate the word "freedom" at all sauces while they obviously forgot its meaning...) :
We're not so concerned with your freedom as we are with ours.
stopping the Nazis was one thing (and we, french people, always be thankful to the USA for that,
You could have fooled me.
OK mister I-forgot-what-is-the-country-the-USA-should-owe-forever-for-being-freed-from-the-english-crown-while-asking-nothing-in-return ?),
The only reason France helped us was because France was in a war with England. If not for that, France wouldn't have done squat. And we paid you back in WWI. So maybe what-is-the-country-France-should-owe-forever-for-being-freed-from-the-Germans-twice-while-asking-and getting-nothing-in-return-and-also-protecting-against-Soviet-expansion-while-asking-for-a-little-help-and-getting-none is a little pissed at you assholes.
The next stuff is a little confusing, but I'll keep it in since I think he is trying to make a point.
preventing the Red Army to conquer all western Europe (as their progression let the US military head honchoes think it) was another. It wasn't to reestablish the french sovereignity (Roosevelt had no big love, with some reasons, for de Gaulle and we had then a very interesting colonial empire full of stuff to sell and people to pressure - it's still a stench for me and, I hope, for France). Robert Murphy, the Roosevelt man for North Africa during the WWII, even met between 1941 and 1942 several guys from the shameful, extreme right-winged and antisemitic Vichy government (a few names : General Weygand, the Vichy delegate for Africa or Admiral Darlan, one of the most sinister symbol of the collaboration). I keep the bibliography if you don't believe me. Of course, the french betrayal (you'll call it a pleonasm or don't I know you too well...) in the "Iraq 2 : the sequel" (a Bushenheimer flick)
Bushenheimer flick - good one.
affair wasn't motivated by a french new taste for peace, but by business reasons.
By golly he's correct.
As is the USA intervention to get its hands on the second gas tank of the planet -
And once more he is correct. It is about ooiiilll! With a stable supply of oil we can now pressure the Saudis into stopping their funding of terrorism. We are fighting a war against terrorism. A war that we, by the way, did not start. If 9/11 had not happened we would not have gone into either Afghanistan or Iraq. And we wouldn't be pissed off at France. On second thought, we probably would be pissed off at France. You frogs are just so annoying.
and more and more scientists are saying that by 2050, gas will be out...).
And guess which country's scientists will come up with the technology?
Next time you try to play with culture and history (watch out, it burns) to turn them to your advantage, I hope there will be someone to remind you that they don't serve any masters, especially one as lame as you and your clones on the web.
I read my history thank you.
I'm not anti-american, I love my country, I'm glad that thaks to the USA, Saddam left the power (but if it is to put someone The USA have chosen instead of an authority elected by the Iraqis, what's the use ?
We're not done yet. It may work out. You were willing to give the inspectors a long time. Howza 'bout giving us some time to establish self rule. The Iraqis are already better off.
Ah yes... Greed and world domination, I get it...),
Speaking of history, if we wanted world domination why didn't we do it after WWII when we were the only country with nukes? And once again, if not for 9/11 we would not be doing any of this shit.
but I think nationalist zealots like yourself and religious fanatics like Osama Ben Laden have a lot in common.
And I think that you are full of shit.
You're the two faces of the disease that plague our new-born 21st century.
You couldn't be more mistaken.
Oh and to put an end to clichés (a french word that seems to adapt perfectly to your way of thinking),
See. We have no problem using French words, while you xenophobes abhor having to use English words.
frenchmen doesn't take bath, because we prefer showers (we heard it's more hygienic, but sssshhh, don't spill the word... ),
So do we only we like to take them on a regular basis and use soap.
Jerry Lewis is not a comic icon in France and I prefer to belong to the Axis of Weasels than to the Axis of morons (Bush, Blair and Aznar).
Yep! Bush is a moron. Just keep thinking that. Saddam thought that and look where he is.
One last thing, since the start of the french-bashing thing, I've always wondered why just us french, if we are this small and unimportant. Why not russian-bashing or chinese-bashing ? After all, these countries were opposed to the Iraq mess thing too... Unless the US businessmen are afraid of hurting the feelings of these two huge potential markets...
There are many reasons for the French bashing.
1. It's so easy.
2. The other countries were against the war, but they did not actively obstruct us like your small and unimportant country did.
3. You like to act so superior to us barbaric Americans that it's fun pointing out just how pitiful you are.
4. You're assholes.
5. You stink.
And last, but not least, this from bashful frog.
I do not know wether the French would speak German, after all they speak their own language in Praha too, and the Americans never got there.
But, if it was not for the French, Americans would be speaking English .
I thought we did.
They would call French Fries chips and would not have to rename them Freedom fries. What a beautifull freudian slip. So when you say "French" you think "Freedom".
No, when we say French we think of dirty, smelly, xenophobic morons.
May France stay forever the country of Freedom.
As I said earlier, you got about ten more years and the twin time bombs of the growing Muslim polulation and the weight of socialism and your country will collapse into anarchy.
And we won't lift a finger to stop it.
