"Chad Irby" a écrit dans le message de news: ... "IO" wrote: If you want to criticize Chirac ok... But please don't say that all the french are monkeys or make stupid and false comments on French cowardy... Well, I haven't been, but with so many French papers and media outlets putting out "America is evil!" content, it has to go back somewhere. Example please?? Apart from right and left wing extremist tablids, you'll find NO front page as outragous as some US papers were during the french-bashing period. Didn't you understand that the "Amercia is evil" myth is just to justify more French bashing???? If you want to do some research to back your claims, the major french papers are LeMonde, LeFigaro, Liberation, LeParisien, France-Soir, LeCanrad Enchainé. Major TV channels are TF1, Fr2, FR3, Canal+ and M6. Please don't back your claims with stuff you saw on Fox or read in the NYPost. If ou want info or example on the French cultural scene, I'd be glad to help. -- _________________________________________ Pierre-Henri BARAS Co-webmaster de French Fleet Air Arm http://www.ffaa.net Encyclopédie de l'Aviation sur le web http://www.aviation-fr.info |

Stop calling "europeans" anybody living in Europe and not being british. I'm
Polish as a matter of fact and I hate using "Europe" and "France and Germany" as synonyms. Actually if you take the number of countries for and against Iraqi Freedom both the current 15 EU and the post-2004 enlargement EU was FOR the US. The French the Germans and the Belgians are a funny bunch of people that can make good food (except for the Germans of course..) but they still live the lives of forgone colonial powers. take care lekomin inc |

... Chad Irby wrote: In article , "IO" wrote: I'm italian and in my opinion the "french bashing" is a stupid and racist thing. It's not a race issue. We make the same comments about any idiots who act like that. If you want to criticize Chirac ok... But please don't say that all the french are monkeys or make stupid and false comments on French cowardy... Remember Die Bien Phu or french resistance against nazis... Your (american) behaviour is very offensive to me and to europeans.... And also Russia, Germany, Mexico, Canada, Chile ecc was against usa on Iraq resolution remeber this... So your original point should have been for Americans to withhold their criticism of the French while the Europeans criticize the US? Thanks to your message we now have another chance to start the international criticism of those that put teeth into the UN and those that hide behind the UN to avoid doing much, even when it is required. With as little as the Europeans contribute to international security, it doesn't matter much if they like the US or not. Often their contribution is only a token gesture which gives them more pride than the US real assistance. -- Scott -------- "Interestingly, we started to lose this war only after the embedded reporters pulled out.

... Yea just keep making fun of every nation that doesn't agree with the USA. You think you can take on the world? I can't wait for the day when americans realise they are no longer the major world power. Don't you think enough people hate americans already? Why do you keep acting to reinforce their perceptions? Funny they hate America but fall all over themselves to ingratiate themselves with the Russians, the Arabs, and all the other full-time ogres. I think that says more about the rationality of the Europeans than the faults of the US. Besides, being powerful means you don't need everyone to like you, fear is enough. You don't see much European anger about slavery in the Arab world, or harsh treatment of Christians in China or the Middle East. But one cop killer gets sentenced to death and the Euro trash has a seizure. -- Scott -------- "Interestingly, we started to lose this war only after the embedded reporters pulled out.

... You think it's a joke, how easily you forget the events of 9/11. 9/11 is why we spend time going after the groups we see as dangerous and less time sitting in cafes sipping bad coffee and worrying if they like us or not. If you want a say in world events, become a US citizen or get your country to take the responsibility to become powerful. The Europeans have lived in a protected little green house so long they seem to think that if all the nice people just agree to be nice there will be nothing but joy for all of us. Someone has to shoot the wolf at the door, even if the loud noise disturbs your garden party. -- Scott -------- "Interestingly, we started to lose this war only after the embedded reporters pulled out.
