Right, I'm getting fed up of all these ignorant French bashing posts on this forum and elsewhere.
Sure, I dislike French mannerism and arrogance at times, but you need to keep it in context, after all you owe them big time.
What gets me the most is Americans with their selfish ungrateful attitude towards the French, chastising and insulting them at every turn. I mean, they SAVED you from your British imperial overlords.
Remember, the French had a larger empire than you, they had a better general and leader than you in the form of Napolean, they almost nearly destroyed the Russians on their own soil - something you Americans can only ever dream about.
They fought several other nations fairly like men, marching bravely into cannon fire - none of this special forces cowardly stealth crap.
Finally, you Americans should remember this one last thing if all else fails -
If it wasn't for the French bailing you out, you'd all be speaking English right now.

The American empire. Sorry, but it is the truth. . .the french Empire pales in comparison to the American Empire (at least in how far it reaches). And the most fascinating part about it is that they did it more culturally and economically than through brute force. Sure, it has not passed the test of time yet, but it has certainly gotten its greedy little fingers entrenched across the entire globe. . . far more than any empire before it.
Granted, the Americans DO owe the French for the help during the revolutionary war, but the French owe America for both WWI and WWII.

Sorry, the British Empire was competing with at least 3 other powerful Empires at the time: the French, the Spanish, the Portuguese. They divided up most of the globe between the 4 of them.
The American Empire is not competing with anyone, or hasn't until recently. American influence in every corner of the globe, not divided up among 4 powers. The amount of money, the number of people, the amount of culture, the control of trade. . . pretty much every thing you would judge an Empire on other than actual military occupation of land, America dwarfs the British Empire.
In fact, in future history books, the British Empire will probably only be a footnote in the discussion of the American Empire.

What are you talking about, where did you get these bullshit statistics from? Your history is apaulingly scewed. The british empire at its height contained a quarter of the worlds population and a quarter of its total land mass. This was after the first world war where spain was a shadow of its former self and france had been broken by its huge loss in manpower andp ortugal had stopped being am jor player ages ago. As for amount of culture, i have no idea what your talking about but you basicly mixed and match your culture from the rest of the world not much of it can be truly called american.

We had to win a few battles before they would bother to help.

It would be so much simpler if you guys could talk shit about Quebecians and we could talk shit about the French, then we would all be happy.
Also, I cannot fucking overstate how much I hate the fact that America got involved in WWI. The germans of that time were not the germans of WWII, they were not genocidal or out to displace large amounts of people and force them to move. They were pretty much the same as the English, the French or the Americans of the time.

The British Empire stood much longer then the American Empire has currently stood. That is true. America is, in fact, an Empire, just not formal nor traditional one. It is much easier to control the world through economics and culture than it is through military might. It is called learning from past FAILED empires, such as the British Empire.

I have nothing against the French. I love their food, wine, and women. The cuisine is amazingly diverse, given that influences from neighboring countries leeched into the bordering French regions. Their vineyards are likewise settled on superior soil/climate, so they end up producing a respectable quantity of exquisitely complex wines. The women are also some of the most utterly charming ladies that I've had the pleasure of meeting. They seem to be, on average, more knowledgeable on subjects than their cross-Atlantic counterparts, able to hold a better conversation and actually come across as intelligent.

But when it come to american-french relations you must remember the usa was founded by revolutionaries meaning in order to hold power here you must keep that awe inspiring persuasions under control. And the french have had the best revolutionary people in history. Hence some deep seated friction based on a very like minded psyche from the top down. People that are the same sometime much want to be different even though they cannot.

Our government tries to manipulate our opinions like we are a bunch of 2nd graders and it works. Ooh, the French take issue with the US trying to dominate European foreign policy and command the UN around by ourselves. They must be rude, smelly, and 'unpatriotic.'

What gets me the most is Americans with their selfish ungrateful attitude towards the French, chastising and insulting them at every turn. I mean, they SAVED you from your British imperial overlords.
Remember, the French had a larger empire than you, they had a better general and leader than you in the form of Napolean, they almost nearly destroyed the Russians on their own soil - something you Americans can only ever dream about.
They fought several other nations fairly like men, marching bravely into cannon fire - none of this special forces cowardly stealth crap.
Finally, you Americans should remember this one last thing if all else fails -
If it wasn't for the French bailing you out, you'd all be speaking English right now.
Heh, your trolling gets worse and worse with each attempt!
Also, Napoleon was hardly French. He was born in Corsica only one year after it had been given over to France and supported the Corsican Rebellion. He hated the French for quite a while. Thus, the only two successful French commanders since Charlemagne was a foreigner and a 17 year old, schizophrenic girl.

A little much unwarranted self-importance here, isn't it. If you would turn back the clock from 1776 to 1767 at the time of the French and Indian War, (Better known as the Seven Years war in Europe.) France was hardly our ally since we were still a part of the British Empire despite some mild secessionist vibes at the time and would have gladly killed us and made us speak Français if we sucked like you. Even if the French aided us, to a great extent I might add, it was hardly out of some moral altruism, but rather they were pissed at Britain and simply wanted to gain favors with the new country that would arise. Also, since we had the guts to revolt (regardless of reasons) against our former empire, many countries INCLUDING YOURS followed our example, (Though if I remember correctly, yours wasn't quite as idealized, no...)
Remember, the French had a larger empire than you, they had a better general and leader than you in the form of NAPOLEON! NOT NAPOLEAN, they almost nearly destroyed the Russians on their own soil - something you Americans can only ever dream about.
They fought several other nations fairly like men, marching bravely into cannon fire - none of this special forces cowardly stealth crap.
For starters, being cannon fodder hardly makes you braver, maybe stupider and more expendable to your superiors, but hardly more courageous. While Napoleon was a tactical genius for the most part, fairing better than most of our war generals, the fact that Saratoga was the defining victory of the war, (Considering that the French wouldn't ever bother with helping us until then.) is proof that we were far from hopeless. On the issue of guerrilla warfare, while not the main strategy at times, the fact that hiding and utilizing cover and tactics against a larger force was rather revolutionary, even dishonorable, at the time. While it wasn't utilized to such a point that it could be considered a defining strategy, it was key along with other military events around the world in the formation of current military strategy.
About the empire, even at its height, it only covered about 1/3 of Europe, which considering its length from 1804-1815, isn't that long. While America has been left alone to deal with itself, maintaining a 3+ million sq. mi. landmass for about a century (not counting Alaska or Hawaii which were taken/purchased in 1867 and 1893 respectively.) Is no easy task.
Plus almost, kinda, sorta isn't winning.
Finally, you Americans should remember this one last thing if all else fails -
If it wasn't for the French bailing you out, you'd all be speaking English right now.
Gasp, what a horrible fate to be bestowed upon us good fellow. I can't imagine a world where I speak... English!
(And yes, I know the differences in grammar/spelling in both types... Just like colours and colors.)
But seriously, outside of that, most of the jests at the French are that, jests. Just like people call us Americunts, AmeriKKKers, hate flavor of the week, etc. We deal with it, why can't you? The French have done many things throughout history in the arts, sciences, and humanities to further human knowledge. (Hell, your enlightenment jump-started the ideals for our revolution.) Acting like some self-righteous ass like that only makes me think of how to reverse troll the French more.

While I'm far from the shining example of such, the fact that you go about blasting Americans about how we should be bowing to you because you dropped us a huge favor is hardly the way to go about it. If you want to be proven as an level-headed member of society, then lead by example and state your reasons for such and on why this is a problem. Saying that you owe us and in your tone is hardly going to bring about sympathy.
And before you go blasting on how I'm some jingoistic redneck American wearing my white hood of the brotherhood, I know that America isn't perfect. Just like I know France, Thailand, Russia, Canada, or any other country and its peoples aren't. Its through this we have to acknowledge each others shortcomings in a manner and do our best to deal with it. What I said wasn't the greatest thing to say, but the fact remains that with your manner of forced acceptance, things will not be going in your favor and only serve to reinforce that stereotype even more.

It would be a start, seeing as how you guys actually didn't give your former slave population basic human rights untill they fought protests for them in what was it the 1950? 1960s? I can't remember but not hundreds of years ago and long long after the rest of the western Industrialized world had abandoned that kind of sickening apartheid regime.
And in what way does the fact that tribes such as the Ashanti sold slaves to western traders legitimize anything to do with this abhorrent period of world history. The vast majority of European nations have publicly apologized for its role in the trade.

Can I just make a point real quick? No? Too bad.
Every country in this arguement is, to be frank, full of militaristic prowess/redardation.
America has created some brilliant technologies to help the troops on the frontline. For most of the past few centuries it's seen a steady stream of military victory parades, from the Revolutionary War, to the War of 1812, to World War II. However, the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, and the "Long War" [in Iraq], have been completely tactical and logistical blunders. Limited body armor for the troops, invading nations that pose no threat to America or the rest of the world, and an inability to counter guerilla tactics have led to countless unneccesary deaths, and a ridiculous national debt.
France and England have their own set of successes. The French have conquered most of Europe at multiple points in time, as well as numerous colonies bringing in wealth, while the English have successfully held a massive empire that always had the sun shining on it somewhere. Both have had brilliant generals such as Napoleon and Oliver Cromwell. However, they've both been involved in some absolutely pointless conflicts, usually against eachother. The Hundred Years' War, the most obvious instance, would routinely empty the kings' vaults of all funds, leading to more taxes and tension with the Church. What did this massive war ultimately accomplish? The English lost Bordeaux and gained Calais, and started waging war amongst themselves. The French just kept Normandy from the English.
Oh, and they both were economically crippled, and developed the ridiculous sense of nationalism that we see rampant in the world today.

...and yet not only do you refuse to apologise for the crass comments and behaviour of your countrymen towards the French, you also launch an attack of your own to boot.
Do you not see how you are coming across in the eyes of the world?
I can hardly speak for all of America just like you can hardly speak for all of France. This will amount to most people as just an opinion on an internet board where we are seriously so damn tired of waiting for Darkfall that we get in petty arguments like this, nothing more. And to be honest, I am not sorry for what I said, for I believe that what I said is correct in that you sir, have taken an issue on the internet of all places, and demand that others accept you because of some damn favor that your country did two hundred something odd years ago, not for your character as of now.
To better phrase this, let's look at your original post. Now let's rewrite that to fit the style and tone of an American or a race of your choice. If I were to bitch to you on how if we weren't there to storm in after D-Day with Britain to reclaim France from the puppet Vichy government and the Axis, you would be goosestepping and speaking Deutsch. I go on to laugh at how stupid and pigeon-headed the French are for line formations and how we glorious Americans are and how Eisenhower and MacArthur were tactical geniuses along with the strategies they and other glorious Americans formulated. I then repeat the above points and provide no basis for actual sympathy and pretty much say "Admit it, France. You suck cock without us."
Makes you feel bad doesn't it? You don't feel like giving me respect now do you? You are now concerned with the hate and pomp I said about your country and your people, aren't you.
Welcome to pretty much everyone else's viewpoint on your post.
BTW: Most of us here don't REALLY hate the French, and we would say (In fact, I say sorry for any BS remark I made of the French race.) sorry in a heartbeat. We just hate the way you said it.

Right, I'm getting fed up of all these ignorant French bashing posts on this forum and elsewhere.
Sure, I dislike French mannerism and arrogance at times, but you need to keep it in context, after all you owe them big time.
What gets me the most is Americans with their selfish ungrateful attitude towards the French, chastising and insulting them at every turn. I mean, they SAVED you from your British imperial overlords.
Remember, the French had a larger empire than you, they had a better general and leader than you in the form of Napolean, they almost nearly destroyed the Russians on their own soil - something you Americans can only ever dream about.
They fought several other nations fairly like men, marching bravely into cannon fire - none of this special forces cowardly stealth crap.
Finally, you Americans should remember this one last thing if all else fails -
If it wasn't for the French bailing you out, you'd all be speaking English right now.
1.You can count on one hand how many wars the french have won... None.
2. They gave us a symbol of freedom a giant fucking penny.
3. There dirty ever been to Paris i have its nasty no one shaves hardly shower blah.
4. Im not selfish i don't hate the french but ok if the french are so great for fighting Russia then losing. Hitler took over a lot of country's with very little effort in record time, So how greats Germany?
5.We don't use muskets anymore, French and Indian war? <--- Pwned

Don't mind me, I'm just leaving this here...
A little much unwarranted self-importance here, isn't it. If you would turn back the clock from 1776 to 1767 at the time of the French and Indian War, (Better known as the Seven Years war in Europe.) France was hardly our ally since we were still a part of the British Empire despite some mild secessionist vibes at the time and would have gladly killed us and made us speak Français if we sucked like you. Even if the French aided us, to a great extent I might add, it was hardly out of some moral altruism, but rather they were pissed at Britain and simply wanted to gain favors with the new country that would arise. Also, since we had the guts to revolt (regardless of reasons) against our former empire, many countries INCLUDING YOURS followed our example, (Though if I remember correctly, yours wasn't quite as idealized, no...)
For starters, being cannon fodder hardly makes you braver, maybe stupider and more expendable to your superiors, but hardly more courageous. While Napoleon was a tactical genius for the most part, fairing better than most of our war generals, the fact that Saratoga was the defining victory of the war, (Considering that the French wouldn't ever bother with helping us until then.) is proof that we were far from hopeless. On the issue of guerrilla warfare, while not the main strategy at times, the fact that hiding and utilizing cover and tactics against a larger force was rather revolutionary, even dishonorable, at the time. While it wasn't utilized to such a point that it could be considered a defining strategy, it was key along with other military events around the world in the formation of current military strategy.
About the empire, even at its height, it only covered about 1/3 of Europe, which considering its length from 1804-1815, isn't that long. While America has been left alone to deal with itself, maintaining a 3+ million sq. mi. landmass for about a century (not counting Alaska or Hawaii which were taken/purchased in 1867 and 1893 respectively.) Is no easy task.
Plus almost, kinda, sorta isn't winning.
Gasp, what a horrible fate to be bestowed upon us good fellow. I can't imagine a world where I speak... English!
(And yes, I know the differences in grammar/spelling in both types... Just like colours and colors.)
But seriously, outside of that, most of the jests at the French are that, jests. Just like people call us Americunts, AmeriKKKers, hate flavor of the week, etc. We deal with it, why can't you? The French have done many things throughout history in the arts, sciences, and humanities to further human knowledge. (Hell, your enlightenment jump-started the ideals for our revolution.) Acting like some self-righteous ass like that only makes me think of how to reverse troll the French more.
Iv heard that used as a joke in stand up.
