Have I said lately how much France sucks? It's a country of lazy, smelly, cowardly, backstabbers.
What has France done for us?
1. Helped us in the Revolutionary War.
2. Gave us the Statue of Liberty.
I know this because every time I write a French bashing post some asshole French person points this shit out to me as if I didn't know it. I know it assholes. You have done exactly two things for us: Gave us support when we were fighting one of your enemies and built us a fucking statue. BFD!
What have we done for France?
1. Helped win WWI.
2. Won WWII and freed them from the Germans. They could have stopped Hitler earlier but were pussies and thought appeasement would work, just like they think that appeasing terrorists works. Their stupid Maginot Line was about as effective as their aircraft carrier that never leaves port. We have those too. We call them airports.
3. Rebuilt their country after WWII with American tax money. That is money we never saw again.
4. Protected them in the Cold War. They provided no military support and no bases. They contributed no money or troops for their own protection.
5. Saved the French wine industry when the vinyards were being ravished with Phylloxera by sending them grape vine cuttings from Missouri that were resistant. See link.
The gratitude of French grape growers was so great that they erected two monuments in the city of Montpelier in the south of France, honoring the Missouri grape growers who were credited with saving the French wine industry.
How soon they forget.
Looks like we've done more for them than they have for us.
When Reagan was president, they would not give us overflight privileges when we bombed Libya thus forcing us to extend the flights and perform midair refueling.
They actively opposed us in the runup to the Iraq War.
Someday, when France is once again in trouble, they'll come asking for our assistance and we'll be stupid enough to give it to them. Y'see we can be counted upon to help other nations. France can be counted upon to stab their friends in the back.
We just fought two wars to free over 50 million people. What has France done for the world lately?
Nothing.
As usual.

Lyrics:
Wounds My Heart With A Monotonous Languor
We died by the thousands
We fought on their beaches
How could we know
We were fighting for leeches
France wounds my heart with a monotonous languor
France my heart with a monotonous languor
France my heart with a monotonous languor
France wounds my heart
Their armies moved backwards
They folded and fled
We should have known
It was for nothing we bled
France wounds my heart with a monotonous languor
France my heart with a monotonous languor
France my heart with a monotonous languor
France wounds my heart
Languor is defined inactivity;
an unusual lack of energy
Yes, languor is defined as inactivity
an unusual lack of expending energy
We fought in their fields
From fieldstone to hedge row
We gave them their country
That they would have let go
Wounds my heart with a monotonous languor
France my heart with a monotonous languor
France my heart with a monotonous languor
France wounds my heart

Concur about France. What is often overlooked by the extreme left wing media is the fact that the Iraq War could have been avoided if France (Chirac) hadn't misled Saddam into believing they could stop us from taking action.

An old girlfriend
I confess – I once loved France. At one point, I would have gone back to Marianne back in an instant, as abject as a dog rescued from death in the pound; at another, I would have gladly strangled her with her own hair. For more conflicted love and hatred, try Elvatoloko, a young man from France now in the USA. Not a clue what the blog title is supposed to mean.

He's got a great quiz there, Denny, future ammo.
Lover of democracy? Not hardly. Supporting us during the Revolution was a chance to stick one to the British.... The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

You really need to quit bashing the French, its just not fair. Even if you were paralized from the neck down it still would not be fair to pick on those who are paralized from the neck up.
Keep it up! As a member of the US Navy and a Seabee for the past 10 years, I can say that the French, in particular those from Paris, are the rudest, most obnoxious people that I have encountered on the face of the planet. I've partied all over Europe, and I think we should've just left France under German control- for the most part Germans are fun, like beer, dig good old rock'n'roll, and they LOST the last couple of wars to us. My only hope is that the next time the French ask for a bail out, we have the common sense to hand them the bill next time... after all with the new EU economy they're building, they should have no problem paying us to be the new foriegn legion. Oh yeah, they did lend us the word "viva"- without which Elvis would not have been able to sing "Viva Las Vegas".

What crap. It was the french nobility that helped. Rick T is right - they only helped us to screw the British.
As far as I'm concerned the only contribution the french have provided is brie.
Which sucks.

Posted by: catfish on March 14, 2005 10:21 PMUm, I like french fries, although french salad dressing looks like semen fluid from a diseased Smurf. And, no, I've never known one of those. Really.

Posted by: Gerry on March 15, 2005 01:56 AMHé friends!
We actually don't give a fucking shit on all u "done" for us: We know if something goes wrong for us, u'll be there, as usual.. because y9ou now we are cowards and u feel sorry for us. u are nice people and we are assholes. the only thing that motivate France: its own interest. Business is what rule us dickhead.
And we know that. And guess what? we smelly cowards.
:)
We're well aware that you don't believe us. That's how you can condescendingly sneer at us.
Until the next time, when you come screaming like little girls for us to save you.
My maternal grandfather was gassed in France in WWI.
My dad died in 1994 with a piece of German shrapnel in his shoulder that he got helping you wusses in 1945. He landed in France at Normandy, something called D-Day. You probably don't learn about that, as it would disagree with your world-view as world leaders. (Snicker. World Leaders. France. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.)
(And Jay, he agreed with you. He couldn't stand the French, either.)
I sure as hell don't want my grandsons to have to save your worthless skins from the Islamists. But we probably will. And you'll be just as you are now, clueless and loathsome.

yeah yeah zabeth. i run realfast backwards.
France as a power?
Non! we are cowards. we haf no power.

Hey, Froggy-turd!
I didn't even bother to LOOK at a Nissan when I was shopping for a new van since I KNEW that they were owned by the Frewench. That's $35K+ that will NOT go to your worthless country. Phuque the Frewench!
And the US airlines that buy Airbus over Boeing, phuque them, too!
I'm STILL boycotting the Frewench!!!
