    I've been to France several times. Liked the place.

    I've never been to Texas, and quite possibly never will. Thus far the shortage of reasons to visit, or even want to, has been fairly absolute.

    The current royal line of Sweden is of French ancestry (Bernadotte was a real rags-to-Napoleon's-marshal success story).

    Trump that, Texas.

    ...Well, the current male head of the Romanov line is a retired Texan Marine colonel or somesuch. But judging by what he spouted in that interview he's an idiot, so he's really more of a demerit. New York at least has the guy who could've been the current King of Finland, and he's a smart fellow too...

    texas is teh only state dumb enough where people can be arrested for drinking in a bar.

    France>Texas, anytime anywhere not matter what. Not even a contest. France has Napoleon (he was born about the same time that Genoa sold Corsica to France so technically he was French) and Charlemagne and Renee Decarte. Plus it has wine and created Champagne. And without France Texas as we know it would not even exist for us to make fun off. So without France all Texans would be Mexicans. Plus French cooking owns any fried piece of crap meal that a Texan could come up with. All your good food you kifed from Mexico.




    Plus Texas sucks. Sorry but it's true if you have oil you suck it's a constant of the universe.


    As you might guess I voted for France, like anyone with good taste did.

    I love France, and well the only impression I've ever gotten of Texas is Houston airport...

    Judging by that experience I'd say France is better than Texas.

    Kaiser- The Germans all love to say that Charlemagne was German, because they loathe the fact that it was a Frenchman who built the first true kingdom of Germany out of filthy, unwashed Saxons.

    But, to be fair to Texas, they do have Peyote... that's a big plus, no matter how you slice it.

    Gotta love the "actual physical control" laws against drunk driving. Basically, if you are like within 100 yards of your car and you are drunk, you can be charged with APC for simply having your keys in your hand or for verbally insinuating that you will be trying to drive soon. This law also means if you decide to sleep in your car to sober up you can be charged with APC as well, unless you have your keys locked away somewhere like the trunk.......which begs the question of how exactly you get them back if they are locked away, but oh well, the ways cops enforce laws isn't supposed to make sense anymore, right?

    Texas is the best place to be in America if your single for starters. Maxim rated Dallas/Ftw 1 and 2 for the hottest wome, san antonio rang in at 4 and houstin came in at 6. Times rated Dalls/FTW area as 2 and 3 for best single nightlife. Also there's always south padre around this time of the year (spring break).

    Texas hasn't been invaded and surendered twice in the past century. Texas has Dallas, the TV show known worldwide. Texas has the largest rodeo in the world. Texans don't riot every time there's a new law passed. The women in Texas have a keen sense of personal hygene, and shave. Texas isnt France, best reason I can give you right there.

    I think we need to solve this predicament with a game of football. Not that pansy c**p yall play in europe but real football, that doesnt involve feet. We need a football match in the cold icy snow, where the only thing keeping your quarterbacks hands warm are the centers genitals. Because the only thing better then international competition is violent international competition.



    And Texas has the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader's, gods gift to men.

    France is a real country.
    Texas tried to be a real country but wimped-out, failed, or just sucked at being an independent country. So it joined the US (a real country ) because it couldnt' hack it on its own
    Ergo, France is far better than silly 'little' Texas.

    Say whut? This means you can be arrested in Texas for looking at a car key whilst drinking? Or two car keys, so to speak?

    France Beat wales in rugby "TOTALY LUCKY" They didnt ground The ball and we did not get a try. when we should have.
    Then 6 mins from the end they manage to get the Win when theyd lost all through the game!!!.

    Oh please, they were simply better than Wales. That's all there was to it. Wales were brilliant at times, but lacked the energy and resourcefulness to hold on to their half-time lead. It's tough for last year's champions, but with Hal Luscombe you'll get over it.

    well you couldnot have watched the game.
    But im sure yove read it all in a paper :)

    There was a try for wales that did not get counted cos french video ref said French plaer grounded the ball with his arm.
    When the evidence blaitantly showed his arm was not on the ball when the ball hit the floor (did not ground it)
    then shane Puts downward pressure on the ball with his hand = TRY...

    French video ref goes .

    "Um ... no try cay 22 line."
    saying the french guy grounded the ball. when he didnot, and video evidence proved it.

    so they were lucky. to win.
    Cos if that had counted Which it should have.
    They would heve had no hope.

    I laways see Charlemagne or "Karl der Grosse" as a frenchman as well as a german, hi empire was also quite mixed, I actually see him as the last person who united "France" and "Germany" before we always beat those Frenchies.

    But there have been even more reasons which made me vote Texas.

    Now Rugby League pwns Union. League has hard men, with hard names, such as Cyril and Walter. Union is a pansies game for ponces with girly names like Tristran, Jeremy and loads of Nigels.
    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.

    So the Frenchman grounded it with his body, but Williams never touched it. Come on, the French came back from 13-6 down in the Welsh home stadium. It's called fighting spirit.

    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.

    That's because RL has 'rules' my dear little chap. Union or 'Rah-Rah Rugger' is just a glorified version of British Bulldog or 'Scrag and Bash' as we used to call it. A No Rules, No Sense, No Idea game for overweight toffs. God, I can't stand the RFU, so I quite enjoyed England's ('England' is a TM of the RFU apparently) recent miseries.
