I dont understand the anti-french sentiment. I guess it can be summed up to we wanted to play football but they wanted to write poetry so we're laughing at them now??

if we did that everyone else in our clique would gang up on us.

Seriously though, whats the reason to hate France so much?

Other than the fact that they're a member of the EU and want to turn the world into a union run mess.

Well, for instance, only working through the Defense Policy Cmte. of NATO, which excludes France.
What makes you think, that the other NATO-members would accept that ?

If Bush goes on like he's doing now, the only allies our American friends (I'm using the German terminology now) will have left, are going to be Georgia, Albania and some pacific Islands.

South Carolina is French property. Well, not the whole of it.

Is South Carolina worth anything ??
