French Honor

Sorry (not really) but here we go again. Our favorite country to bash just seems to go out of it's way to find the one cow pie in the middle of a large pasture and step in it. Jockstrap Chiroc has decided not to attend Reagans funeral even though he is presently in the country. Seem he (Chiroc) has to scurry back to France to check if the peasants have revolted.

First of all, it's Chirac.

And oh, you think the american diplomats and politicians have never done anything that other communities found offensing?

First of all, it's offensive.

And oh, don't you think that it's diplomatically unwise for Chirac to skip out on Reagan's funeral? So much for mending ties... Or are Americans just not allowed to be offended in your little world?

I'd dig through google news looking for the last 10 times american dignitaries did something offensive abroad, but I just can't be arsed. Suffice to say, let him who is without guilt throw the first stone.

I didn't go to Reagans funeral *GASP*

Thats the problem. Americans are too easily offended.

Would Bush attend the funeral of a past French PM?

Is it really that big of a deal? I think you are being silly.

this thread is lame.

Who cares? Did Chirac even know Reagan or have any knowledge about him? Why would it matter? I agree with Merlin, GW wouldn't go to a former French Prime Minister's funeral, and nobody would care. I'm not saying I like the French, but I think this is the right (and Woodchip) just trolling

Lothar · Post by **Lothar** » Fri Jun 11, 2004 12:38 pm

I think this is Woodchip just trolling.

We should forcibly relocate woodchip to france.

That would be an act of war and I believe Chipper would win.

Nightshade · Post by **Nightshade** » Fri Jun 11, 2004 4:45 pm

I think what would be more interesting to see is if Chirac attends Saddam's funeral- which he is more likely to do since he was a good friend of the monster.

Lol @ Bash.

No troll intended so those of you with a receding brainline that think otherwise...phrrrppp (wetly of course

). I could understand Le Grandest Beak not attending if he was already in France but the guy was here already. Just poor taste in my estimation.

DCrazy · Post by **DCrazy** » Fri Jun 11, 2004 6:01 pm

Same. It's a diplomatic misstep in my opinion, but nothing extremely bad.

Avder · Post by **Avder** » Fri Jun 11, 2004 7:54 pm

I didnt even tune in to Reagans funeral. Does that make me unamerican?

DCrazy · Post by **DCrazy** » Fri Jun 11, 2004 8:22 pm

I don't think so. I didn't watch more than 10 minutes of it myself. As far as I'm concerned, the guy died years ago, his body was just late in catching up to his mind. As much as I admire his work and agree with his politics, I think the whole thing is being drawn out far too much.

Absolutely spot-on, imo....

i think woodchip or any of us for that matter would piss ourselves silly in the face of danger. we all sit behind computer screens and talk tough...i wish i was a spartan

we aren't internationally known people as mister chirac is though. if we didn't go to the funeral, nobody would care. we cant have everyone in the country be there. if he was here already and did go it would look good, at least he could have faked a smile, sat through it, and earned some praise for his behavior. instead, he didn't, some people scoffed, and that's that. it's a pretty minor thing, but he probably should have went if he cares about brownie points.

When one of the ex PM's for France dies, I expect to see the US Pres there ok.

Will Robinson · Post by **Will Robinson** » Sat Jun 12, 2004 12:43 pm

It may have been a calculated decision, take some heat from the ugly americans for not going but avoid taking much more heat from his own countrymen if he did attend. He did just cooperate to some degree with Bush, maybe he doesn't want to bend over too far in one week.

Dedman · Post by **Dedman** » Sat Jun 12, 2004 12:49 pm

Why are we (the US) so preoccupied with France? It is virtually a third world country that aside from Sophie Marceau, never produced anything of any substantive value.

I say we just ignore them altogether and go about our business.

woodchip · Post by **woodchip** » Sat Jun 12, 2004 7:19 pm

France has importance due to having full veto power in the U.N...unfortunately.

Oh and Zuruck, speak for yourself. Unless of course you would care to have a intimate party for two and find out who the pissee and who the pissor are.

CDN_Merlin · Post by **CDN_Merlin** » Sat Jun 12, 2004 8:02 pm

Dedman, You wouldn't have the Statue of Liberty without France. Wouldn't have much of the FIA racing if not for France. Wouldn't have French pastries, best Wine's, best world chefs. So think before you speak.

woodchip · Post by **woodchip** » Sat Jun 12, 2004 8:16 pm

Merlin, I seemed to have read somewhere that California wines now surpass France's

kurupt · Post by **kurupt** » Sat Jun 12, 2004 8:27 pm

we wouldn't have gay people either.

The Statue of Liberty, hmmm, I have to give you that one. FIA racing, pastries, wine, and chefs: sorry, I said substanative value. These all fall short.

So we have Sophie Marceau and Lady Liberty. Other than that France doesn't have squat to offer. Oh wait, there is one more thing. Horrendous body odor...or is that Belgium? Oh well, I guess there really isn't much difference is there?

CDN_Merlin · Post by **CDN_Merlin** » Sat Jun 12, 2004 9:28 pm

Oh, and you think your over weight americans smell any better than what you think French ppl do? Get a life and stop being so close minded.

Dude, I have been there and smelled that. All it takes is a little deoderant.

I guess you hold your breathe in your country huh? Everyone smells as bad as any other country

The Statue of Liberty was a scam so we'd keep taking all the Eurotrash off their hands.

Lothar · Post by **Lothar** » Sat Jun 12, 2004 11:56 pm

that's enough off-topic French bashing. Since we seem to be done talking about Chirac, I think we're done with this thread.
