Are the French useless? These guys think so.

[YogsVR4]

"France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country. France has usually been governed by prostitutes." ---Mark Twain

"I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me." --- General George S. Patton

"Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion." --- Norman Schwartzkopf

"We can stand here like the French, or we can do something about it." ---- Marge Simpson

"As far as I'm concerned, war always means failure" ---Jacques Chirac, President of France

"As far as France is concerned, you're right." ---Rush Limbaugh

"The only time France wants us to go to war is when the German Army is sitting in Paris sipping coffee." --- Regis Philbin

"The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore. True, you can sit outside in Paris and drink little cups of coffee, but why this is more stylish than sitting inside and drinking large glasses of whiskey I don't know." --- P.J O'Rourke (1989)

"You know, the French remind me a little bit of an aging actress of the 1940s who was still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn't have the face for it." ---John McCain, U.S. Senator from Arizona

"You know why the French don't want to bomb Saddam Hussein? Because he hates America, he loves mistresses and wears a beret. He is French, people ---Conan O'Brien

"I don't know why people are surprised that France won't help us get Saddam out of Iraq. After all, France wouldn't help us get the German out of France!" ---Jay Leno

"The last time the French asked for 'more proof' it came marching into Paris under a German flag." ---David Letterman

Next time there's a war in Europe, the loser has to keep France!!

Incorrect. Its the Bush slamming threads that have been worn to the nub.

[ac427cpe]

they're funnier than the bush threads, and shame on you americans who will speak so maliciously about your president.

Mildly Amusing...

I also do not find the French interesting.

This thread maybe should be moved to Political Affairs?

Can't see what this thread is doing here,other than to reinforce the argument that there are a lot of very shallow and ill-informed rednecks in what passes for American culture.I'll ask my as yet unanswered question once more...It's easier to count the countries that support immediate invasion than it is to count those who oppose it.Why single out France for a continual stream of snide and shallow racist remarks?Is America that scared that the French may actually be right that they have to launch this ridiculous onslaught of hate against them?

If you are making anti-French statements simply because they refuse to become war criminals alongside you,you have no more respect for democracy and sovreignty than your alleged "enemy."

Racism is the preserve of cowards and bullies.I don't presume that all Americans subscribe to the anti-France mentality,but those who do can take the star and stripes and ram it up their own backsides.

God forbid someone says something unflattering about a country that is not the U.S. on AF. We should all be shot for doing such a horrible thing.
Everything here is all cool when it's making fun of Bush or America. These are jokes, half these quotes are by comedians, O'Brien,Leno, Letterman. Other 1's there is quite a bit of validation to them. Some are misinformed statements. Bottom line is they are just as vaild to be on AF as weak Bush jokes.


I'm not a war supporter, not a Bush, but if your gonna dish it out don't cry when you get it back!

[Jimster]

Not funny





What Mr T said is correct- top credit to Chirac for having the balls to tell Bush where to stick his illegal and inhumane war- Unlike Blair and little Johnny Howard (Who btw reminds me of a muppet )

Sorry,but they are not.If I choose to slap down George Bush because I think the guy is a moron,I'm targetting an individual.I would not be so rash as to make statements that imply that every American is as stupid,selfish and pig-ignorant as he is.

If you have issues with specific French individuals,bring them on but bracketing every man woman and child in France in these offensive and unfunny observations is racism at its most basic.But then that is exactly how your government wants you to see things,heaven forbid that you should realise that there are millions of Iraqis who have nothing to do with Saddam Hussein,Al Quaeda,Osama Bin Laden,or any other people deemed to be a 'security risk' by the idiots who abuse the term 'defence'

I don't see any singling out of an individual there. America is not an individual.
