In spite against the french, Many fastfood chains are re-naming "french fries " to "freedom fries" OMFG I think this is going a little far.
Similarly McDonalds now has Mcfries and BK has BKfries.
WOW this is stupid!

Yea.. we're back in kindergarden. Do we get nap time at work too? lol that would be great lol.

Thousands of Americans are buried in France, they gave their lives to free the French people in WWII. My wife's uncle is one of them. The French seem to have forgotten this.

During Desert Storm, we asked the French to assist, they declined. Then we asked the French if our bombers could fly through their airspace enroute to Iraq, they refused. This added an hour of flight time and reduced the effectiveness of our air strikes.

Since that time, they have passed laws against anything American. No American words can be used in signs, store names, menus, etc... They scorn and will even prosecute those who even show an inkling of affection for the American culture.

The French have gone against U.S. policy at each and every turn in the U.N. If we said "Feed the Hungry", France would retort "Mon Du! Let them Starve!" I say screw them.

They have obviously forgotten that the only reason they are allowed to scorn the U.S. is because of the U.S. They sure had a different attitude 60 years ago when they cheered their saviors who routed the German army. Let's let them be, stop diplomatic relations, stop commerce, let them be on their own like they want. Screw them.

Yeah, we were talking about that earlier this week.
I was left speechless. I think I'm still left speechless.

I personally am all for it. I have just called them fries for years, so not much of a change for me.

Here are some interesting facts about the French and their history of warfare and why they don't see a threat before it is too late. It also can be interpreted as to why they oppose war... they know they can't fight.

Anyway... fthefrench

The really funny thing about french fries is that they are not french. They were first made in Belguim or Denmark or something like that. lol! I do agree with BA though. My grandfather faught in WWII. Artilery divison in France. He helped save their asses. Granted they dont have to fight but they dont have to be totally against us. They are disgracing are fallen hero's that made it so were they arent speaking German today or the rest of Europe.

One of my favorite quotes is from the Simpsons episode where the teachers go on strike. Goundskeeper Willy is the substitute French teacher.


"Bon Jour, you bleeding surrender monkeys"

Despising the French isn't racism ... it's just common sense. Glad to know I was right all the time.

But really, "Freedom Fries" is political correctness gone mad ... I think we should be more honest about it & refer to them as "F__k the French Fries".

Wow... that's pretty pathetic...

"Freedom Fries"? Couldn't they have given them a better name than THAT?

How 'bout "greasy potato strips with salt?"

I like Jon and Fubar's way of thinking!

Does that mean that we get to rename my french horn, too? I'm thinking like, "pimp-phonium or something....

How many Frenchmen does it take to defent Paris?

Nobody knows, it's never been tried!

da-dum, CHING!

How many gears does a French tank have?

4. 3 for reverse, and 1 for forward, you know...in case they get attacked from the rear!

Wokka wokka wokka!

Why are the streets of Paris lined with overhanging trees?

So the Germans can march in the shade!

Thank you, Thank you! I'll be here all week!

My impression of a French Flag.

i had said this wayyyy earlier in the War in Iraq thread, and just wanted to bring it back to the surface because im a lazy American devil and want everyone to suffer my verbal wrath without having to work for it, lol....

Quote: and then theres France....gee, thanx for the Statue of Liberty and all the help in the Revolutionary War, now yer gonna essentially play second fiddle to a mustacioed Mario wanna be with an obvious psychotic condition and an inferiority complex that has yet to be bested...ohhhh boy. i said it once a loooong time ago that being french is just wrong....i was joking then...im not now, because to back down from your little slice of global responsibility like they have doesent just speak from the politicians, or the priests, or the freakin soccer coaches, it comes from a unified voice, the people, and as much as i value that method of demeanor, i am disgusted with their shrinking from responsibility like this

ladies and gentlepimps, there comes a point where you have to kinda decide on your own wether or not you love, hate, or tolerate a group of people because of their ethnic background, skin color, language, location, even the cars they drive....

i hate french people, bottom line, mind you, and i have said this a million times before, i am NOT racist in any way, my hate for them spawns from their incessant and conspicuous shows of discontent for everything we stand for....even though they have US to thank for their very freedom that gives them the capacity to hate us...

im not saying anything that you havent heard before nor am i trying to sway the opinions of any one else here, im simply saying that at this point, hating france and everything associated with it somehow makes me feel more patriotic, dont ask me why or how, it just does, and when i find something that makes me love this country more than i already do, i share it...

may france be erased from the earth, and may we notice not....better yet, lets use the same dagger they are trying to bury into our backs on them....

EDIT: and id glady change my vocabulary to accommodate FREEDOM and LIBERTY in front of everything, it might sound stupid to alot of people, but when you look at it, the pure intent was a patriotic one, and aside from French-Americans, Creole/Cajun, or anyone here from with french descent and loves this country...im all for a little non-french revision goin on...

and anyone here from the UK, nuttin but love, you guys got some big balls for actually buddying with us yanks in this whole thing, i guess a good indicator of a countries demeanor always shines in sheer audacity, cause you know the rest of the world is gonna be on you guys almost as hard as us, and they live in the next room from you guys, you have all my respect, havent felt this close to you guys since i first saw Snatch...lol

its like when we were back in ww2 when hamburgers were called liberty burgers because hamburg is a place in germany and they didnt want to be like the germans

I find it funny because I now work for Mick-D's and have to push this **** down people's throats... just like the fish flavored poptarts. ...**** that. Just remember, "borrow" a camel from Egypt and ride into France... they'll bow down to you and call you lord and master. After that, go down to luxembourg...

I think that the French are rotten SOB's.
They have lost every war they ever fought excluding the time of Napoleon. They are wuses in every way. They think that they are all that.

My parents own a travel agency and my dad refused to sell any tours going through France. Yes he could make a pretty good percent from a total package deal but he says that the French do not deserve the tourism. Without tourism, they got nothing except stinky cheese and wine (that the US should stop importing). They should be kissing our a$$ instead of denying us. Why the heck should they be part of the United Nations anyway? If there will be any time of war, they will run around in fear like sissies! The US should have let Germany gulp it up so maybe France would have been owned by Russia after the war was over. LOL!



Edit:
The funny thing is that the US will end up kissing the French's a$$ after the war is over. I bet it will give it money like all the other nations and keep up the national dept! I say screw the French! (Literally)

Meh... I dissapprove of the French Government. When ya get right down to it... the people probably aren't that different than we are.

Maybe we should call everything even... they helped us wayyyyy back when... mostly 'cause they don't like the English much. Yeah, we got a nifty statue...

We bailed their asses out during world war II... We've also sent a helluva lot of tourist dollars their way.

Maybe we should just tell the French we're even... Nobody owes anybody crap... but if they're not willin' to help us... Lord knows we'll be MUCH too busy smoking our cigarettes, eatting crepes and bitching about their coffee to bother with their problems.
