wideskies Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 hating "the french" isn't exactly useful, since "the french" includes millions of people who have nothing to do with the government and nothing to do with their ancestors' war-time decisions, either. same goes for Americans hating Iraqis, Iraqis hating Americans, French hating Americans, etc etc etc. but there is propaganda spread everywhere that encourages hatred, not sympathy or care. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wideskies Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 i mean to say that i think it's foolish to hate an entire country full of people when who you really have qualms with is the government. the government doesn't define the people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintron Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 why wouldn't it define the people? after all, government comes FROM the people, right?I agree with George Carlin. "If you have stupid, ignorant citizens, then you're going to have stupid, ignorant leaders." one causes the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wideskies Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 i'm not stupid or ignorant, and i don't think i "caused" the way my government acts. ideally, the government is FOR the people but realisitically it don't think it tends to work that way.

chrishaolin Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Originally posted by frenchbread i'm sorry but that's really retarded...how wrong is that?...lollisten chris, the best way for france to get that money back is to take saddam down, have his assets seized and get reimbursed...either through reconstruction or from saddam's assets...always looking out for themselves????...are you insane?...let's talk about the states here for a second...the states are not ALWAYS looking out for themselves?...i don't even know what to begin with...you better believe it man...if any country is the king of shady deals, it's our good old u.s. of a.... You really think France is getting that money back if Saddam gets taken down or is killed, the latter of the 2 more likely. They will most likely never see that money again.

They will most likely never see that money again. listen chris...i don't care what you say...the best way for france to get that money back, would have been to go in with the u.s. and just bomb it out of hussein......he obviously didn't give it back to france for however many years that he was left alone...so giving him more time wouldn't have brought the money...bombing him would have......so don't tell me france was opposing the war to get their money back...

Oh, I didn't realize you speak to Chirac, the members of the french parliament, and the french oil companies on a regular basis.. everything you say is opinion, as is everything that i say. you have your opinion of france, i have mine. we can agree to disagree.
