Is Chirac "Pompous and Supercilious"?

The French are completely oblivious to themselves. Only when they wake up one morning and find crescent moon flags replacing French flags flying in Paris will they have an inkling of a clue!!!

Mon dieu. Quelle attitude américaine arrogante! Les Français ne mangent-ils pas des calmars ?

Right. French arrogance tops American arrogance 100:1.

Si vous dites ainsi.

None of the above.

And I have no obsession with the French - could not care less about them or their bleak future. You are right though - I probably take too much glee watching them in their current mess.

It best to keep your responses in French - I recommend you start learning Sharia Law and Aramaic. Somewhere in the next 50 years at current birth rates the French will be a minority in their own country :lol:

Please, you are too kind. I am not slandering the French - what lies have I told? And as for disdain of the French - I am but a grain of sand in a large and growing beach.

The only serious issues I have I cannot discuss here - but trust me I am in good mental and physical health. Although you should try to stay on point instead of hurling personal attacks against me - obviously my points have hit a nerve and when you cannot defend your point of view against them - you go personal - standard operating procedure.

I do take breaks. I have a vacation home in the Berkshires. I do my Krav Maga 2-3 times a week. I have an excellent relationship with my wife thanks - and my four children - and one grandchild. I am a glass half full guy - and the worse it is for the French - the fuller my glass :lol:

I dont hate Canadians - we need them to make our cars and stuff. They serve a very useful purpose - and now that they have elected a Conservative government - I like them that much more - there is hope for them - except of course the French Canadians - but they will break away from the rest of Canada one day and that will be a good thing.

Have a nice day. God is Great.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

What lies have you told?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Don't make me laugh. You're a walking anti-encyclopedia.

 

I told you s/he's just joking. I have a vacation home in Hawaii, Italy, Tahiti and the Virgin Islands. No, really, it's right next to doc's place.

Yeah, I knew it must be a joke. That's why I was laughing!

 

The French also produced the Traction Avant...so they can't be all bad, right?

We do have one thing in common: we both provide weapons to unstable regimes for short-sighted unilateral political gain.

How do you know its French?. There are many languages in the world. For example:

"Siete un foro tiresome." Or how about

"Du bist eine tiresome Nervensäge." Or maybe

"Você é um furo tiresome." Or even

أنت متعب حمل". But to return to French

"Vous êtes un être fatiguant.!"

You are free to write or speak in any language you want. Have fun. My favorite "languages" are biology, chemistry, physics, economics, and history to name a few. I have a real inability to acquire foreign languages unlike my father - one day they will have a handheld computer to do translating for those that don't know English.

And my father always said if I had to be not good at something it was better to be not good at learning other languages rather than math and science. I studied Spanish for 5 years and still cant habla and 10 years of Hebrew and can still only read it and not understand it. Thankfully my primary language is English. Also interesting in that my grandparents and great-grandparents did not want my parents to learn anything except perfect English. They never spoke Russian, Polish, etc.
