Guest The Czech Republic Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 I don't really have anything against the French. Sure, they're a bit goofy, but I speak French.
Guest Cancer Marney Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 I nulled my vote, because I really do hate the French and the word "prejudice" has negative connotations, including but not limited to irrational, unjustified, and unfounded. And my loathing for the French is anything but that.

And my loathing for the French is anything but that. That's me, to a far lesser degree
Guest JMA Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Well, technically, if you hate the French it IS prejudice. Because you are grouping together and generalizing an entire people.
Guest Anglesault Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Or she's referring to the French Govt.
Guest Cancer Marney Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Correct. And those who support them. It's a hatred of an attitude and a way of thinking that is and historically has been characteristic of the French people; it's not based in ethnicity.
Guest JMA Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Or she's referring to the French Govt. Well, there IS a reason to dislike the French goverment. But she did say it was "wrong to be French" and things like that.
Guest Cancer Marney Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 fer chrissakes. That was an obvious joke with long-established precedence. But even so, insofar as "French" is understood to refer to a falsely elitist, socialist, Gaullist, morally relativist and/or amoral attitude (which in context it generally is) rather than ethnicity (which would be ludicrous, since "French" can technically refer to dozens of ethnicities) I stand by it absolutely. If you don't understand how being completely over the top can be funny I submit that it is your problem to deal with and not mine.

Â ::runs like fuck before he incurs the wrath of Marney for interupting her with that::
Guest JMA Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 And lack of bathing. Plenty of rednecks don't bathe. Yet they don't like the French. Odd.

If you don't understand how being completely over the top can be funny I submit that it is your problem to deal with and not mine. It's not that. It's just hard to tell when you're joking and when you're not. Though, I doupt you'd agree with that.
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 For me, France is somewhere to go during the day if I'm horny and I wanna see sexy women. Â Viva La France!
Guest caboose Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 For me, France is somewhere to go during the day if I'm horny and I wanna see sexy women. Viva La France! For me France is the rather large country north of Spain and it shares a coast with Monte-Carlo.  Viva la Monaco & Spain!
Guest claydude14 Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 You're a moron to hate all french people if you've never really met someone/gotten to know them, and or are only doing so because "OMG THEY DIDN"T BACK BUSH WTF I HATE TEM DIE!@!1!!!!!!!"

Guest JMA Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Are you fucking kidding me? You can't tell that:  (drumroll)    IT IS WRONG TO BE FRENCH is a joke? No, I'm not "fucking kidding you" as you put it. I just find it hard to tell when she's serious and when she's not. That's all I'll say about it.

Guest Jack Tunney Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 France has nude beaches,so France wins.
Guest Showstoppa Icon Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 http://www.10pix.com/bb/modules/newbb/view...c_id=25&forum=1 this chick is a french pop singer. God Bless France
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 This thread is childish by NHB standards.
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 You're a moron to hate all french people if you've never really met someone/gotten to know them, and or are only doing so because "OMG THEY DIDN"T BACK BUSH WTF I HATE TEM DIE!@!1!!!!!!!" Something is seriously wrong when Claydude is the voice of reason in a thread.
Guest claydude14 Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 Eh, we had a french exchange student at my school this year whom I was friends with and got a lot of shit from morons during the Iraq shit, so knowing how she was feeling put it into perspective.
Guest Renegade Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 French jokes are old and idiotic. That is all.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 it's prejudice. It's wrong to hate anyone just because of where they are from, or because of their language or Religon.
