    I agree about that joke. Definitely should not have been included. Over the line.

        Because, unsurprisingly, there are hardly any French posters on this forum. Does that make it any less wrong?

        If I were to make a hideously racist comment where no one else could hear it - would it make it any less racist?

        NO!

        Personally, I think anyone attacking the French here is a coward because they know no one will flame them for it...:rolleyes

        More like calling the Welsh "English". It ain't true despite their Anglicization. The Normans were a seperate group of peoples to the French.
        OK, let's all cut the crap and say we're Africans then...
        Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

          Most Americans never felt like Europeans, even thru history, even Americans of European decent. We've always been very different.
          Funny how the Irish ones seemed so attached to their ancestors that they funded the IRA...

          Sorry, but as far as I can tell most Americans are very proud of their roots...

            Alright, from now on I will carefully review the anti-froggist jokes before posting them here at poly.

                Hmm yes, I'm sure absoutely NOTHING changed in France's geopolitical situation after nearly a millenium.

                The Normans were essentially Vikings who were allowed by the French to settle in Normandy. Normans = not French. Around 900 years later, Normandy could have been considered totally French. Any questions?
                Unbelievable!

                      The point is that those Vikings that became Normans, ultimately became assimilated into modern France and are now French!

                      OK, as the overwhelming majority of people living in america during the war of independence were from Britain - we effectively lost a civil war and the war was won not by americans, but by breakaway british...

                      Rather fitting that it's the intellectual dinosaurs that are still practising it...

                            Y'know I haven't engaged in a good bit of american bashing in months because you're all so thin skinned and I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings...

                            I guess it's open season on american bashing then...?

                              Go right ahead. I'm supremely confident in American superiority, so a little sniping from the peanut gallery isn't going to bother me any.

                                I am 4/8 Scottish, 3/8 English, and (ironically) 1/8 French-Canadian. Feel free to us any of the colorful names for those nationalities as I have heard them all.
