When two socialists

[candyman]

Oh and to end all the debate about government on here I would like to quote Skinny Puppy here:

"There’s not much difference between a playground bully, a corporate CEO and the self-absorbed figureheads of many of the world’s current administrations. They’ll all tell you that by surrendering your lunch money or tax dollars, they’re working toward “your best interests.” And we all realize these people are merely imposing a will of their own choosing to enhance their own mythology. Of course, fake benevolence isn’t the sole domain of public figures: Life has taught us the most insidious masters of manipulation come in more covert and intimate forms. Consider your friends, lovers and spouses."

They all suck and we can't change that. People may also go in with good intentions but due to the situation no one is immune to the horrible effects of personally being and being around politicians. Make due, make the best of things, give and take is about all we can do. There are some things that it would be nice to accomplish but the costs often outweight the benefits. It's all a sham so just live until you are dead.

I will also point out, myself being a person of French decent, that France has never really won a war. What France does is they pull what the cheater kid on the playground does, they wait until the war is almost over and they basically jump in on the side of whoever is winning and when the war is won by that side they strut their shit like it was 100% their doing, when really they were just riding the coat-tails of another country. I believe, and I may be wrong on this correct me I am, that the only real war/battle that France won was lead by a 14 year old GIRL who heard voices from God. Hell, some speculate the only real reason France had her killed was out of embarassment, but that can't be proven. I just find the whole damn thing ironic.

Napoleon was rather succesful in battle until he invaded Russia.

Isn't that what the whole system of checks and balances is about, also? Making sure the government stays dispursed, not centralized, so that one doesn't get more power than the other. It was a fail-safe to try and ensure our freedom from too much government rule and involvement (i.e. Socialism, once again).

That was my point to the two socialists that think the founding fathers wanted a strong central government.

This may not count because it goes back kind of far... but so was Charlemange as well.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

So French people as a whole are responsible for what their government does?????

I don't think you see my point.....IT WAS RUDE & OFFENSIVE TO ME TO SAY "FUCK THE FRENCH".....

Have you ever been to France? The people as a whole are known for thier rudeness to anyone not French. The word "American" is used as an insult in France.

But yes, I do blame the french for the actions of thier government more than I do any other people. 5 Revolutions of the people and they still cant get a good government.

I have been to France.... And yeah they were not very nice... I didn't speak French that well, but I knew enough to know when I was being scoffed at in the grocery store.

I heard this from a few people, but don't they even scoff at French Canadians for not "being French enough" so to speak? I've had quite a number of individuals tell me this, I mean how pompous and arrogant do you have to be?

The people in Quebec don't think the people living in France are French enough, because they have diluted the lanuage so much adding slang and such. At least thats what my French professor said, woman was crazy.

French Toast was actually invented in Belgium and the French Kiss was (allegedly) created in The Netherlands but I suspect it goes all the way back to ancient Egypt.

...I haz info pertaining to "the kiss"...& I think it predates Egypt...(& it was far less sexual at one point in time)...

..& the "french fries" were said to come from Belgium as well....I wonder where "Belgin Waffles" hail from...

Probably America. After all, our Chinese and Mexican food is really American (fortune cookies were invented in San Fransisco). And pasta and pizza are not Italian; they come from China.
