The elderly American gentleman arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he fumbled for his passport.
"You 'ave been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically.
The old gent admitted that he had been to France previously.
"Zen, you should know enough to 'ave your passport ready for inspection." The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."
"Impossible. You Americans alwayz 'ave to show your passports on arrival in France!"
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained. "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in '44, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it to."
who gives a crap? on the other hand, when fanatical Islam takes over that country in about ten years, let someone else bail them out.
Who gives a rat's patootie what the Frenchies think!
Who cares. They will be disappointed in Bushes' re-election. They hated Reagan, and wanted him out too. So what....the French have become a joke.
All of whom claim to be part of the French Resistance during WW2.
If you like the French, raise your hand.
If you raise both hands, you ARE French!
I'm French and I agree. Asking foreign nationals about who they hope will win a US election has as much value as asking US citizens who they want as Mayor of Poitiers, Western France.
Yes indeed, that's the problem with this poll. What purpose is it supposed to serve ? US citizens elect their President, me and 40 millions other French citizens elect ours, and that's just the way it is.
Hey Frenchie, it's none of your g** damn freaking business!
French summer starts this week...and those old Frenchies will start falling over any minute now. What a wonderful caring society they have....and they are saving all that pension money too. Thank God for the French!
The Adults are in charge now. France: A Nation of Adolesents.
I entirely agree with you - except for the fact France is not led by a socialist government, is not 10% Muslim, and for the fact I fail to see how it's news, either good or bad. But except that, I tend to agree.
84% of French Males pee their pants and suck their thumbs.. who cares what they think.
As soldiers, probably. Losing 1.4 million French soldiers and killing about the same amount of German troops in WW1 brings people together.
I want Paris Nuked. Who gets their wish?
No France's leader is NOT a socialist, but their trends are...so I consider it socialistic, just like a consider all things left, socialistic in today's world. And they do lean towards following in the social changes that have taken place in the Scandiavian countries (marriages between male and female down 33 % over a ten year period since homosexuals have been allowed to legally marry-the cradle to grave government nanny system combined with the loss of meaning in 'family' oriented marriage is changing the face of their culture.)
And the last report I read estimated that the French population is at approx 10 percent MUSLIM, in large part due to the immigration of Muslims from North Africa (Moracco, Algeria) I also read somewhere that this percentage is approaching reflection in their leadership positions. Altho I realize they did vote DOWN the wearing of headdress by Muslim girls in school.
Oh, correction, they forgot to ask that question.
Chiraq wants us all to know that when it comes down to it, being a Saddamite collaborator is at least one step up from being a Nazi collaborator.
