You brought me into this, SuPilot. Not me, you. You remember that.
''your sarcasm implies that this is not the first time people have been killed in acts of terrorism. i guess terrorism is okay then. fucking moron.''
Speaking of fucking morons, nice straw man there, buddy. He didn't say terrorism was ok, he said there were more pressing issues to personal security that deserve more attention than they're getting, and more than something which, by comparison, doesn't kill that many people. So next time, try arguing with what he's actually saying, instead of putting words in his mouth. Learn to argue without using fallacies... of course, the whole premise of the argument is based ona n Ad Baculum, so I guess that's out of the question.
''point is, your facts are as solid as your argument.''
You nitpicked a numerical detail without offering an alternative argument to ANYTHING he said, and by doing so you think you've beaten him? Try a little harder.
Now, for all of you hating on the French and saying they should die 'and we should laugh', what a bunch of idiot hicks you peaople are. Moore was right...
God forbid someone has a different opinion than the U.S.! The French chose not to support war in Iraq, and they were free to do so. The backlash over on this side of the pond, however, has been just juvenile. There was even a bill proposed to bring US WWII soldiers buried in Franca back to the U.S.! Then there was the French wine poured in the street, and down the toilet (in a New Jersey restaurant), then the whole freedom fries crap (oh, now that's patriotic. Forget 'Give me liberty or give me death'; if you want to support your country, change your takeout order). A cleaning chain in California, Frech cleaners, had one of its locations burned to the ground. THEY WERE OWNED BY LEBANESE PEOPLE. Freedom of speech?!? Try social terrorism. And here's my favourite: In Las Vegas, an armored vehicle with a 76 millimeter cannon and minor guns was used to crush French yogurt, French bread, Wine, Perrier photos of Chirc, and the French flag. I am, frankly, disgusted.
HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE NOT BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES?
As if France hasn't done enough for you. The French invented the movies, the automobile, the stethoscope, braille, and photography. The Enlightenment (begun in France) resulted in the principle upon which the U.S. was founded. The U.S. Qould never even be a country if not for the French; they supplied troops, 90% of the rebels' gunpowder, and milions of dollars during the war of independence...in fact, the British didn't surrender to the colonials, they surrendered to the French, whose navy had boxed them in. Today, almost a third of France's direct foreign investment is in the U.S., making them the U.S.'s 5th largest investor. They employ 650,000 Americans within America.
But what about the rumors, that France was opposing Bush to get economic benefits out of Iraq? Bullshit, it was the Americans who were making a killing; 40% of Iraq's oil exports were consumed by the US, to 8% for France.
It was the French who led the UN Security council on September 12, 2001, condemning the attacks and demanding justice for the victims. They were the FIRST foreign power to offer support for the U.S., and Jacques Chirac was the first leader to offer his backing.
A lot of people say that the French turned their backs on America. In fact, it was just the opposite. In France, America had an ally who could tell them when they were making a mistake. Apparently, Americans are too stubborn and sure of their own infallibility to listen, even to their oldest friend, and would rather insult one of their longest-standing allies like whiny little school children.
To those of you that the above applies to: You make me sick.
