jose 0 #32 March 12, 2003 Correct me if I am wrong here, but during the Biblical times that you have stated, there was no such thing as Iraq. There was no such human named Saddam Hussein. There was no "government" responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians. There was no UN that protected the rest of the world from nutballs like this. So your "comparison" is totally moot. I do not consider myself a religious man, but excuse me Mr.Billvon, who the hell do you think you are to compare biblical stories that just so happen to take place in the same geographical area THOUSANDS of years ago to the insane dictator who just so happens to reside there now. I must admit, from the post I have read made by you, I have come to the conclusion that you are a very well read individual. I applaud you for that. I also do not debate as well as you. You seem to have, not only the knack for it, but it appears to be your driven desire with most posts. What I dislike so very much about your posts is the "intellectual" avenue that your attempt to portray, only to have them shot full of holes by the smattering of the "in your face" sarcasm. I perceive it condescending and in this case and blatantly taken out of context. These trolls are more annoying than any other. Of course, in my opinion.edited for spelling Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miked10270 0 #34 March 12, 2003 Quote remember that it was the French who invented oral sex. Actually that's only partly true... I think the french invented talking about it. It ocurred during a quiet moment in a conversation about "Le Gloire des militaires". Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

So your "comparison" is totally moot. Well, of course there wasn't. And when French Fries were first so named there was no UN, so refusing to put the term on a menu because the french are being stubborn in the UN is sorta silly too. Here's an irony - the French call them "pomme frites." The term "french fries" was coined by US servicemen in France, who liked them and gave them an american name. So to use your language, who the hell is congress to 'protest' by refusing to use a name that US servicemen created? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iflyme 0 #37 March 12, 2003 QuoteNever miss a chance to slam on Christians, the government, or Americans in general do you Bill? "Slam"? A little touchy today, aren't we? I think Bill is using "humor" to make a point ... I mean really, is the any wisdom in taking the "French" out of French Fries and French Toast. It sounds like the reaction of a bully who doesn't get his own way ... a childish act. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiltboy 0 #39 March 14, 2003 I liked the ending to that piece myself. "The French provided significant military help to the Americans in their campaign against the British, and supplies of French gunpowder are widely believed to have secured the decisive American victory at Saratoga in 1777. "So in fact we have a lot to thank France for, if it weren't for them we might be British," Ms Hall Broun said. " So they were officially the first pro-american country. If this stupidity goes any further someone somewhere will either rename the statue in NY harbor or ship it back to the sender. David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
