Joking is one way of dealing with what we as a people are facing, if you can't deal with that one accord, then you are not being realistic. Our nation is at war, France stood with Saddam and refused to side with us. That offends the sensibilities of most of us. It seems your own agenda as a pacifist is clouding your vision in this case. Some people will be pacifists even in the face of a Hitler/mini hitler, but the majority of us won't thank the Lord, because its the non-pacifists that are out there fighting for your right to be a pacifist.

Guest shadow2b Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 I believe the French people would be offended by them nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In it he said, "Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion." Interesting.....seems like even mainstream Christian preachers crack jokes about France.

There really is no defense for the French on this one. (no pun intended) Check the records on this one closely. Many billions of dollars are at stake here for them. See, they (the french) have been backdooring the UN resolutions for years and set up huge contracts with Iraqi oil that go into effect if the sanctions get lifted. Oops, too late now. Not only did they already pay, but now they get nothing in return. Bad gamble and they held the losing hand. Did you really think that the French were holding the moral flag on this one? Nope, gonna have to burst your bubble on this.... it was just plain greed. Love ya, t. PS And the jokes WERE funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, I wonder if (heaven forbid) Saddam uses chemical or biological weapons in this war, will the French be willing to enter the war as they said they would. Of course, I doubt they would be very welcome by our soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this serious or a joke? 'Cause a French Mickey D's would be owned by...a FRENCHMAN, and the people working there for a living would be...FRENCH, and if anyone got hurt, it would be a FRENCH employee or a FRENCH customer-- Hard to see how that would hurt the good ole US of A in any way whatsoever-- :uhh: French fries are terrible for us anyway. And I prefer California chardonnay! truffles? Gag! We will survive just fine without them... And Americans will be vacationing there again in another few months--this too, shall pass.

It wasn't French troops, but protesters that trashed Mickey-D's. Can anyone please explain to me why peace-protesters are so violent. :c2: :c: Yeah, shalom and buenos dias to you too.
