What is wrong with France? - Page 4

Bereta_Eder · January 23, 2003, 15:42

Japher, Im not sure what you mean by hazings.

About France you let your sentimentality and only what you have heard guide you. Always a bad advisor unless you're just killing some time.

Both US and France have real politik interests.

US wants to control the region.
France has serious interests in it.

For what is worth there is no danger to american citizens from Iraq.

The inspectors are a smoke screen, a play of actors to define the outcome.

If they find "no weapons of mass destruction", and war doesnt happen US loses its efforts to control the region.

If they do, or dont, or the UN approves or doesnt but a war happens, US wins in trying to control that region and its oil.

Thats the game and thats the prize.

It is sad that people will be killed over it. Both americans for the ambitions of their gov and what IT thinks are its best interests as well as the iraquis civilians which are inocent in each and every case.

Not even a troll-rating (usually reserved for the obvious and poor trolls) so it must good!

Your right!! I'd better rephase that.

"That's why France gets bashed, no respect for other civilized countries. Sooner or later they alieninate everyone civilized"

Ah.... Austrailia, New Zealand, and Canada too. Not to
mention marco and micro- nesia (Pacific lsland nations)

Oh the arab countries love them too. I believe they still
refer to westerners as "Franks"

Bereta_Eder · January 23, 2003, 16:20

or Greeks.

Noone cares about NZ or Australia or Canada.
They are "sideeffects" of colonial england with no real impatc on the world.

The real world in Europe is France and Germany then all the other states and then unfortunately the UK which has chosen to not have the impact its size would guarantee on european matters.

France bashing is favorable amongst americans and english and their "minions". all of which are minor comapred to the world at large.
but the world is not Apolyton

So do I, but tell that to the "jingo boys" here on the forum.

It's not jingoistic to hate the French. More like common sense...

Bereta_Eder · January 23, 2003, 16:31

Depends on where you stand. Visit Europe and common sense is hating the americans.
Easpecially those who pretend they are not redneckies because they listen to Blur.

Nice try, but I know that common sense doesn't exist in Europe. It's a mythic object over there, like deodorent...

Bereta_Eder · January 23, 2003, 16:40

I shatter your myth, but your musical taste justifies it, but they both exist. If you had a passport, like normal people do, you would know

Do you think that, if France could, it would also try and control the region? "Serious interests" sounds to me like the same thing as saying "wants to control the region".

Yup! A smoke screen demanded by the French to buy more time to try and convince the US not to attack so that they can continue to secure their own interests. Such interests which can be also secured through support of the US.

Do the French honestly like the Iraqis' more than Americans? If so then the US will attack regardless and the French, along with the rest of the EU will be left high and dry as sympathizers against our interests.

Pretty awful if you ask me, but that is how I see it.

You assume too much.

Even it were true, which it is not, sentimentality and good old fashion book learnin' (or as you call it "what you have heard") is a predominate method by which people are guided. This may be why people feel the French are so rude; they fail to realize this.

Bereta_Eder · January 23, 2003, 16:47

France and Europe in general alrady have good deals on oil with Iraq. These are the serious interests.
To Turkey Iraq is the 2nd largest trade partner.
Even to Greece a war with Iraq would flood it with immigrants again.

US wants to establish control and exploit oil as it sees fit.

This is the reality, to which you close your eyes because of what they feed you.

You are a minority in thinking that. Only the US (and to a very minor point the UK) does.

Drake, it makes sence to anyone with an IQ over 40

(I wouldnt expect a redneckie to know Greek anyway, not after he's listeing to turds like Blur as well

) andmost americans dont have a passport try to act inteligent

You talkin' to me?

I don't deny that. Did I say something that might make you think that? Or do just, once again, assume everything about everyone?

Does that make any sense at all?

Landing an army in France on D-day has no impact?
Those "sideeffects" are why you are speakin' Greek instead of German, same goes for the French.

Canada, Austrailia and New Zealand save Britain with
food, resources, and men when they were ALONE.
Britain lives to save the world.

And even then the British had to sink the French Navy.

DinoDoc · January 23, 2003, 17:02

I take it that no one wants to defend France's actions described in the start of the thread.

Bereta_Eder · January 23, 2003, 17:08

Ozz you crack me up

Canadians and the others are of no importance and their contribution isminimal compared to other nations.
they might as well have no existed.

japher, if you accept that, then we agree!

Anyone want to stick their head into the sauage grinder?

France has a history of sheltering dictators, and wantbe
dictators like the Iran's Chief priest Komini. If Mugbe hangs on, France is his darling, if he has to flee he can
bring his ill gotten gains to an exile in France.

France makes money eithier way.

Bereta_Eder · January 23, 2003, 17:25

BTW Ozz, I find it very insulting that you choose to ignore the men who died defending your sorry ass in WW2.

From Russians to Greeks to all those who actually fought.

Shame on you for that.

Hilter. If it wasn't for them you'd be a canadian province
right now.

Bereta_Eder · January 23, 2003, 17:36

You laugh at the deaths of those who fought?

whatever. this is really pathetic.

its sad that you being not important in this world has made such cynisists out of you.

Bereta_Eder · January 23, 2003, 17:37

Dl Ozz, canada is a country which isnt really a country you know what im saying? it doesnt really exist and it doesnt matter at all.

might as well never had existed.

sorry

Yes, for the unfortunate it is a dream,

for mankind it is hope.

BTW My old man was an Bomber airgunner from 1939 to
1943. POW from 1943 to 1945.

Chew on that Mr. Droll Troll.

Bereta_Eder · January 23, 2003, 18:04

you my friend are either a DL or a very confused indivindual with a very low IQ.

You said Britain's role is to save the world.

Unless you meant shave the world.
You said Canada matters

In any case you are just laughable and I'd like to think, for your sake, a DL
