A simple, big, "IT'S A JOKE" would have done the trick. It took me ten minutes to write that post. No one respects my time

Wrong thread, Kralizec. Also, criticism of France isn't allowed under my watch. I expected better of you. LVI.

I would love it!

But what of others? We all know how these things work, and how they will escalate.

Nonetheless, I wouldn't want to be accused of preferences, so the edited out bit:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

And what are you? A land of people who have no country? You serbians are the one that started the war anyway. Because we never did surrender.(I'm half Japanese by the way) We may have,but they were descions made by our corrupt politicans and weak leaders.

That's the Japanese in you. When you get the urge to sit down, smell flowers, not shower and surrender to the Germans, that's the French in you.

Perhaps you have heard of Borodino? The French fought bravely in that battle.So did Napoleon as well.

Yes, I've heard. A famous battle in what was a big French defeat.

We French were the first to stop the muislims from spreading Islam to Europe.Our efforts have never been recognised,only ridculed thanks to people like you.

Just the fact that you were "the first" means that there were second and third and so on... which coincidentally means you didn't really stop them, did you? Since other had to stop them all over again...

For the grand finale, some jokes about French military feats (if applicable) )



Q: How do you confuse a French Soldier?

A: Give him a rifle and ask him to shoot it.

-----------------------------------------

Q: What Does "Maginot Line" mean in French?

A: "Speed bump ahead"

-------------------------------------------

Q: What's the motto of the US Marine Corps?

A: Semper Fi (Always Faithful)

Q: What's the motto of the French Army?

A: Stop, drop, and run!

-------------------------------------------

Person A: What's the most common French phrase?

Person B: I don't know.

A: C'mon, try!

B: I don't know, I give up...

A: That's it!!!

Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week...

I knew you were gonna say that, and I didn't want to steal your ten minutes. Therefore I took painstaking care to preserve your fine post. It can all be read in the spoil above.

Ah well, one more for the road:

'tis true. We sup on the treasure of French culture on those regular occasions when we sit in the French capital, deciding which government the French should have. It's rude to sit in their palaces deciding what to do with the French, and not partake of their civilisation while we're at it.

Why, whaddya know. All bolded words are derived from French.

That is, pretty much all English words with more than one or two syllables. Pretty much all concepts which describe anything more abstract than one's direct surroundings.

One can only dread the simple earthlyness, the near beastlike lives, of these poor people before they were uplifted from their mud by the light of French civilisation.

Imagine if we'd lifted our language from German instead. Rather have words of three or four syllables, we'd have words with ten or twenty, with conglomerate words that basically consist of whole sentences with the spaces removed.
