Dru Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 USA From Harpers Weekly: A new poll found that President Bush would lose, 48 to 44 percent, against an unknown Democrat if the presidential election were held today. Another poll found that 42 percent of Americans believe that Saddam Hussein is personally responsible for September 11. Sixty-eight percent of Americans believe in the devil, but only 48 percent believe that God created the universe; 28 percent believe in evolution. Quote
klenke Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 Dear France, After we take over Iraq, you're next. No need for weapons inspectors in your country either, since you're all a bunch of pansies. Sincerely, Uncle Sam Quote
Alan Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 I guess it's a good thing for France that the US wouldn't be able to find them on a map! I guess a couple of well placed nukes anywhere in Europe might just do the job regardless (irregardless?). Quote

Ok, that's odd, more people consider the devil real than god? It seems like the tw would go hand and hand, or at least more people would believe in god. I wonder, however, if by "god created the universe" than are referring to adam & eve. Because, while adam & eve is certainly bullshit, IMHO, I don't think evolution and god creating the universe nescessarily go against each other. In any event, the most important statistic is 95% of the people in this country are idiots, so I guess that nullifies the rest of the statistics. Quote

j_b Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 if people had boycotted our products the 75 odd times we vetoed a UN resolution, we'd be in trouble. Moreover it makes little sense to take on one the heavies of Europe, we have too much to loose. anyhow, there is nothing like a little xenophobia to get people riled up before going to war, isn't it Trask?

JoshK Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 France's motives for oposing the war in Iraq are complete bullshit. While I am not behind this war for the reasons that george W and friends have given, France's opposition is just as suspect. It boils down to france's importance in the world today, which, in short, is very little. They have never liked the U.S. as a world power and never will. The are simply opposing the "do what we need to do" U.S. will in this situation. For this and other reasons, france can suck my Quote
j_b Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 as far as I know they are not putting the lifes of 100,000's at risk to further their interest, we are. What it actually boils down to, is whether everyone has the right to do what is in their interest. I can tell, the media soundbytes are having their intended effect. Quote
Skisports Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 That would be a bit weird " hey ladies do you want to fredom kiss" Quote
JoshK Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 It's even easier for France...their interests are much better served by "standing up" to the U.S. Like france really gives a shit what happens in Iraq. Chirac is a worthless asshole. Like I said, I am anti iraq-war, but I'm not dumb enough to blindly wave the french flag because they are "standing up to george bush." To claim this is some moral stand by the french is a joke. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 This renaming of things with "french" in their name is one of the dumber things ever. And whattabout French's mustard, people? Freedom's? Ludicrous in the extreme. Freedom technique, freedom free (!), freedom tickler ... Blah. Quote
klenke Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 To quote from something DFA didn't say: "DFA thinks he is a party pooper or a joke pooper or whatever he wants to call himself in the 3rd person...as usual." Quote
sexual_chocolate Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 To claim this is some moral stand by the US is a joke. So what's your point? Quote

I condemn all acts of xenophobia, antisemitism, religious and ethical prejudices. Oh, and SC, I piss on you from great height as is par. Quote
chucK Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 Maybe I missed this earlier in the thread, but French Toast is named so because of WWI. It used to be called German Toast (the dish is more common over there, eier mit toast), but when we started hating those damn krauts the restauranteurs changed the name so they could still sell the delectable dish.
