Thank's France and Germany......... You are truley deserving to be the 3rd World Countries that you are. |
Why do we help countries like France and Germany? Because we are STUPID! We will NEVER learn our lesson, everybody wants help, just to kick us in the ass. |
We bail out countries all the time, just to have them act like they don't owe us anything. Fine, next time your country is invaded, defend it yourself. Don't CRY for help. Stand up and defend it yourself.... It's as old as time, "Help, Help" we'll do anything, just don't let them "Get Us". It's like people that borrow money, any terms are OK, just help me out today. Then you can't get them to return your calls. Well, I don't loan money either... As for me, I am never going to buy another French or German made product as long as I live. Not that they ever made one worth buying in the first place. I do enjoy wines and the French have some of the best, although the California wines of the past 10 years are every bit as good. I would rather drink Wild Irish Rose than spend one penny on a French product! Ron's Opinion |
The French Should Shut Up! By Andy Rooney CBS News | February 25, 2003 You can't beat the French when it comes to food, fashion, wine or perfume, but they lost their license to have an opinion on world affairs years ago. They may even be selling stuff to Iraq and don't want to hurt business. The French are simply not reliable partners in a world where the good people in it ought to be working together. Americans may come off as international jerks sometimes but we're usually trying to do the right thing. The French lost WWII to the Germans in about 20 minutes. Along with the British, we got into the war and had about 150,000 guys killed getting their country back for them. We fought all across France, and the Germans finally surrendered in a French schoolhouse. You'd think that school building in Reims would be a great tourist attraction but it isn't. The French seem embarrassed by it. They don't want to call attention to the fact that we freed them from German occupation. I heard Steven Spielberg say the French wouldn't even let him film the D-Day scenes in "Saving Private Ryan" on the Normandy beaches. They want people to forget the price we paid getting their country back for them. Americans have a right to protest going to war with Iraq. The French do not. They owe us the independence they flaunt in our face at the U.N. I went into Paris with American troops the day we liberated it, Aug. 25, 1944. It was one of the great days in the history of the world. French women showered American soldiers with kisses, at the very least. The next day, the pompous Charles de Gaulle marched down the mile long Champs Elysee to the Place de la Concorde as if he had liberated France himself. I was there, squeezed in among a hundred tanks we'd given the Free French Army that we brought in with us. Suddenly there were sniper shots from the top of a building. Thousands of Frenchmen who had come to see de Gaulle scrambled to get under something. I got under an Army truck myself. The tank gunners opened fire on the building where the shots had come from, firing mindlessly at nothing. It was a wild scene that lasted, maybe, 10 minutes. When we go to Paris every couple of years now, I rent a car. I drive around the Place de la Concorde and when some French driver blows his horn for me to get out of his way, I just smile and say to myself, "Go ahead, Pierre. Be my guest. I know something about this very place you'll never know." The French have not earned their right to oppose President Bush's plans to attack Iraq. On the other hand, I have....... |
