Who here thinks France is better than Texas?

**Watchman** · 03-20-2006, 01:52

You can't exactly use Texan military failures to prove that France is better than it.

Well, the French were fighting, everybody, long before any Westerner even knew something like Texas existed. Even longer if you want to start counting from the Gauls or the Franks (who were able to nick turf from the Romans). Want to compare amounts of time spent as an independent sovereign political entity, nevermind current status thereof...?

That's gotta count for something. Personally, though, I consider Dijon mustard to be worth lot more points, because ancient history isn't edible and doesn't taste too good.

This really isn't fair because the French have way more history than Texas cause they have been around longer.

Oh? Where do you keep them? What do you use them for?

**Tribesman** · 03-20-2006, 02:37

1865- No yankee army captures an inch of Texas ground its not our fault the ignoaarnt Virgianan hillbillys cant fight
Well they did capture Galveston , thats in Texas isn't it ?

Then there were all the other Texan towns they captured because they were scared of what the French might do .
So the Yankees gave up the towns because they didn't need them to defeat the South and they decided that they didn't have to worry about a French invasion .
So SFTS you can thank the French for your not having Texan soil still occupied by the Yanks towards the end of the war .

**Csargo** · 03-20-2006, 02:39

France shouldn't even be a country.

Truly, it was indeed touched by His noodly appendage.

France has its own nukes. Texas has to ask Washington if it could loan some, just for a couple of days you know, give them right back.

Ergo, in the contest of phallic symbols all Texas can procure is big hats, high-heeled boots, some funny oil drills, and huge belt clasps. Oh yeah, and lots of personal firearms. France can put NUCLEAR MISSILES on the table, and a couple of those wicked sleek submarine thingies.

The French win in silly Freudian status symbols.

Watchman have you ever heard of Ft.Hood? Besides The USA takes orders from us. @Tribesman are you "insane? everything you just said was wrong!@Slyspy"insane?@Slyspy under the cuppoard next to the venison.

ILL END WITH THIS. There are 2 kinds of people in this wrold Texans and those who wish they were!

**Samurai Waki** · 03-20-2006, 05:45

nevermind

**Csargo** · 03-20-2006, 06:48

Everyone knows about the Texas vs France thread. I wanna know who really thinks France is better than Texas.

P.S. Texas rules

A quick reminder:

**GoreBag** · 03-20-2006, 07:33

France has funnier slang. I'll go with France.

**Major Robert Dump** · 03-20-2006, 08:55

A Texan broke my nose a few years back because of some things I said in a Dallas bar on OU-Texas weekend. I deserved it. No one from France has ever broke my nose. 2 more points for Texas.

**Upxl** · 03-20-2006, 09:46

I’ll go with France.

Staying European minded here.
Besides I don’t know Texas at all, never been there nor planning to in the near future.

**spmetla** · 03-20-2006, 09:46

Let's see:
France had an Empire and still commands respect in much of it's former Empire
Texas is part of a superpower and commands respect of it's neighboring states (American states)

The French invented lingerie
The Texans made popular the cowboy hat

Most of the world has adopted the French invented metric system
Most of the world has adopted Cowboys as a Texan sterotype

The French military has the power to project itself throughout the world
The Texan National Gaurd can threaten Mexico and Cuba

The Bush family isn't French

**spmetla** · 03-20-2006, 09:53

What I've seen of Texas (El Paso area) I don't like. Granted the Texans are the friendliest people in the Union but desert isn't my scenery not to mention a bombs were tested not too far from El Paso.

The best thing about texas is the Titty Bars but that isn't enough, as a studying Historian I'll go for France seeing as there's much more to read about and also because although France is smaller than Texas it's definately filled with a more beautiful landscape.

**Tribesman** · 03-20-2006, 10:00

@Tribesman are you "insane? everything you just said was wrong!
Really ?
you mean this statement....Well they did capture Galveston , thats in Texas isn't it ?
Then there were all the other Texan towns they captured because they were scared of what the French might do .
So the Yankees gave up the towns because they didn't need them to defeat the South and they decided that they didn't have to worry about a French invasion .
So SFTS you can thank the French for your not having Texan soil still occupied by the Yanks towards the end of the war .

Galveston is in Texas isn't it or has it moved . The union occupied it without a fight didn't they . How many other coastal areas of Texas did they occupy ? How long were they in Brownsville ? Why were they there ? What was happening on the other side of the river ? What were the French doing there ?

So SFTS , are you talking about Texan history or Texan myths ?

Or could you tell me how my statement is wrong ?

**Productivity** · 03-20-2006, 10:15

I've been to France and I've been to Texas. France wins with ease.

**Ja'chyra** · 03-20-2006, 10:24

Children children, you can have all the petty squabbles you like, but, we all know that everyone who isn't Scottish wishes they were

But, if you all want to argue about who is second best then be my guest.

One thing that's always bugged me about France is why they keep going on about good food, do they have any good food?

**InsaneApache** · 03-20-2006, 10:31

nm.

**Leet Eriksson** · 03-20-2006, 10:44

Texas is gods country fools, it just flatout obliterates france.

Oh also Texas has SFTS, the greatest man of all times.

**Lazul** · 03-20-2006, 11:13

isnt Texas just a bounch of farms and with a spacecenter somewhere in the middle?

**Shaka_Khan** · 03-20-2006, 11:51

Texas has department stores, movie theatres, amusement parks, aquariums, etc like France.

Texas has several different types of environments.

Desert
High Plains
Hill Country
Coastal Plains
Semi-Tropical zone

Besides that the Big Bend National Park near El Paso worth a visit or two to just check out the scenery.
