Groo the Wanderer Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hmm...nobody has looked at my blog to prescreen it for Phatmass compatibility.

Mercy me Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Of course, we must not forget that the Paris tourist board just launched a campaign to try to get Parisians to be nice to tourists.

GodChild Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I've had a look at your war list ... and in my opinion - if someone is offended by that, they deserve to be offended - the politically correct have no feelings anyway - thats my 2cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I got this kind of reception when I went over there. Went over to Paris for a business trip and got treated like dog poo by everyone except the hotel desk staff (American chain) and the lady running the chateau we visited in the countryside. If anyone wants to see the Complete French Military History I gathered together from various sources, you'll have to see it on my Myspace blog...some if it *may* be pushing the line for Phatmass...not sure yet if I should post it here. I guess I'll wait for some feedback on that first. www.myspace.com/phatgroo It's the most current blog.[/quote]' well...Paris, is not a good example of 'France' or 'The French'(they say this themselves)...one must travel around abit, especially to smaller towns..and try to speak the language, get a feel for the typical people..like that château ...

I just get tired of hearing complaints about the French. Central Asians and Eastern Europeans are much more creative targets (just ask the Russians). With a little time and effort, they could easily become as pilloried as the French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The French are little pricks, that's why it's ok to always diss them. Why does this even matter? How a Frenchman even gonna hear it? If the Eifel Tower falls into German hands, and the French military isn't in Paris to hear it, is it really a battle?

The French as a govt, and history have there problems, and awful peoples, but who doesn't....? 'dissing' The French through spiteful language, rhetoric, if you will, just proves to the rest of the world,their distaine at American attitudes of ignorant superiority, .. ( i love America BTW, having lived there for 6 years, but, do not think its an ideal society..for there isnt one) as well, good Catholic French folk from Paris, Nante, Nancy, Lille,etc, read and link this Phorum, though they do not participate. as Catholics ,it is France that has THE revival of Latin (and even Byzantine) Monastic and Contemplative Religious Life and heritage,and traditions, as well as a upsurge of new religious and lay movements that are faithful and active within/to The Roman Catholic Church(obviously not a Republican bunch.. )..its the parishes that are still sad... curiously the two most nationalistic and hyper Patriotic countries i have lived in/visited are U.S.A. and France.....with Russia following close behind.. may God bless you!
