The Biggest State in the Union versus the Biggest State in the Union
Right. Time to settle this once and for all. I present the mother of all contests:
The Biggest State in the Union versus the Biggest State in the Union. Or
France versus Texas.
I shall open with a random picture of just another fountain in just another provincial town, Nancy.

Kagemusha's picture of a Texas landscape proves Craterus' point.

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.

Ah, the Alamo, where 200 Texans spend 13 days without ever managing to find the exit.
Here is 'Liberty leading the people', the heroism with which our Republic was forged:

Re: The Biggest State in the Union versus the Biggest State in the Union
Texas vs. France? Do these French people like pain, or something?
I forget, which one of the 11 various republics, empires, restored monarchies, etc., since 1783 was that? And I don't recall the Texas revolution having a period called the 'Reign of Terror'Here is 'Liberty leading the people', the heroism with which our Republic was forged:

Re: The Biggest State in the Union versus the Biggest State in the Union
This is a little too freaky. There is a poem I heard in a club in New York, and here it is in its entirety:
Texas versus France
Who wins?
It's as though the poet were channeling the spirit of the Org ...

Re: The Biggest State in the Union versus the Biggest State in the Union
Oh this sucks...
I love Texas, my home state, but France is awsome...
I've been there many a time and I hope to move there one day!
Re: The Biggest State in the Union versus the Biggest State in the Union
Well it comes down to:
Fight
or
Collaborate, only to be liberated and claim that you won the fight despite you fought against the victors in North Africa. And lost there, too.
Why do you hate Freedom?

Re: The Biggest State in the Union versus the Biggest State in the Union
Yeah? Well, at its greatest extent, Texas was still smaller than France at its greatest extent...
...twice.

Let's see... a place that claims to be "God's Country", or a country that was essentially founded by a man who saved a pope, and as later crowned Emperor by that pope...
(no offense, Strike.)

Re: The Biggest State in the Union versus the Biggest State in the Union
Ah, but at it's greatest extent, France was never led by an actual Frenchman.

Ah, Corsican is close enough. Besides, Charlemagne is as true as you can get.

Corsican = Italian and Italian = Italian, therefore Corsican = Italian >or=Napoleon =/ Frenchman

He was of German blood and speech, and shared some characteristics of his people- strength of body, courage of spirit, pride of race, and a crude simplicity many centuries apart from the urbane polish of the modern French.

I guess the maps with 50 states are still traveling across the atlantic. Hope everyone realizes Hawaii isn't a territory anymore.

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.
