    You know this poll isn't valid without a real GAH! Haha is just a forgery and doesn't carry the respected power of opinion that GAH! is. Besides the options are only black and white, in my opinion there should also be a like and dislike option (hate is a strong word).

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    Not at all.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Of course I do, I'm English!
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    Hating a slot of land, randomly called France is like hating the rocks on the moon, very smart!

    No Frenchmen on the Moon though.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Who is talking about frenchmen? The question was about the land itself, France - I dont perceive how anyone can hate a piece of land.

    France; great country, pity about the people.

    Ok, so France is great and France + Britain = Good?
    Do we all agree that Great trumps Good? Good.
    Then I can conclude from quoted post that in fact Britain can't be very good since in combination with France it is less than France would be alone.

    Do I hate France?
    No! Why should I?

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I don't really hate them, I just find them to be the most annoying people's in the world. Kinda of like a younger sibling, they just know exactly how to piss with you. Too bad you dont have that in your poll question.

    I've been to France many times and it's one of my favorite places to visit. I'm very fond of both the French landscape and the French people in general.

    That having been said, the same also applies for my experiences and feelings with respect to the U.S.

    Weird, eh?

    I hate rugger more than France. It's a game played by men with odd shaped balls.
