Hey zwibbs/Scott,
Do you think a message board for clusterheads is the right place to post your fucking racist drivel?

Here is this weeks favorite Frenchman, courtesy of the University of Florida NCAA basketball champions:
Joakim Noah!!
"But this is no longer just the story of the son of a famous Frenchman. In July, Joakim (Joe-a-keem) Noah—who lived in both France and New York as a kid—played in his first adidas ABCD Camp and transformed himself into something of a rising star."
http://slamonline.com/magazine/punks/JoakimNoah73/
Did I mention that the University of Florida won the NCAA basketball championship?

I remember when Joakim played in New York. He certainly proved himself in this years NCAA'S. My School----Manhattan College---eliminated Florida in the first round of the NCAA"S three years ago. It was an upset and we beat them by 15 !!! The Gators deserved it this year--and I am happy for Billy Donovan and his family.

Hey Helen, are you still pissed that the French helped the 'American colonies' in the 1770's?

Just for you Steve mon petit chou 
Pierre, a brave French fighter pilot, takes his girlfriend, Marie, out for a pleasant little picnic by the River Seine. It's a beautiful day and love is in the air.
Marie leans over to Pierre and says, "Pierre, kiss me!" Our hero grabs a bottle of Merlot and splashes it on Marie's lips.
"Pierre Pierre.. what are you doing?" says the startled Marie.
"I am Pierre, the famous French fighter pilot! When I have red meat, I like to have red wine!"
She smiles and they start kissing. When things began to heat up a little, Marie says, "Pierre, kiss me lower."
Our hero tears her blouse open, grabs a bottle of Chardonnay and starts pouring it all over her breasts.
"Pierre! Pierre! What are you doing?", asks the bewildered Marie.
He replies, "I am Pierre, the famous French fighter pilot! When I have white meat, I like to have white wine!"
They resume their passionate interlude and things really steam up.
Marie leans close to his ear and whispers, "Pierre, kiss me lower!"
Our hero grabs a bottle of Cognac and pours it in her lap. He then strikes a match and lights it on fire. Marie shrieks and dives into the river.
Standing waist deep, Marie throws her arms upwards and screams furiously, "PIERRE, what in the hell do you think you're doing?"
Our hero stands up, defiantly, and says, "I am Pierre, the famous French fighter pilot! When I go down, I go down in flames!"

This bullshit is so way out of hand.....kinda reminds me of why we are letting illegal aliens march in our fucking streets burning the American flag.
America gives BILLIONS to countries around the world, what do we get back?........spit in the face!
Close the borders....Now!...till we can get a handle on this shit.

Well this is gonna really label me but here goes.
I participate in historical re-enactments about the French and Indian war, as a British light infantry troop ( I shoot at the French) (yeah I could be a dork, but I also play semi-pro football - there I feel better). I am a history buff.
Dude who brought up the colonies stuff is correct. Now I am not French, but I am also not a puppet, nor a hypocrite (notice I am speaking for myself only) and I find the French bashing to be getting lame and even a it embarrasing.
The tire old "without the US the French would be speaking German" is so passe. It may be true but so is the fact that without the French the USA would still be an English colony. MOST of the arms the colonist used were French and most of those were donated. Something huge like over 80% of the gunpowered the colonist used was given by the French (no powder no speeding bullets toward English troops). All navel power was French supplied and the thing that really won our independance was the supply line woes the English had. In fact the English used the "we didn't lose, we left" line way before Viet Nam". During the final battles during the RevW there were equal amounts of French troops dying on our soil as colonists. Then we win and they send us a big ass statue.
Let me make one thing clear, I have no particular love for the French, just a distaste for hypocracy, elietism, and prejudice (not to be confused with patriotism).
For America to be great she needs to be good. If America ceases to be good she ceases to be great.

The French assistance in money and arms was essential but I wouldn't say "donated", it wasn't voluntary, not without Ben Franklin being in Paris through the duration of the war. With his enormous charisma, clout and respect he had there, getting every penny of it all out of the French.
The man was a genius and stands as the most deserving to be on our $100.00 bill. That was an incomparable and immense duty to this country. Truly unbelievable what he did to get France's tremendous contribution.
Anyone who cares to read the whole story it's right here.

Jonny - I didn't say the us was bad, its just a quote.
And just becasue Franklin was in Paris and did lots of work over there that doesn't mean they shouldn't get credit for it - and donations is exactly what they did.
Yes the French also hated the English so by supplying us and sending their troops it was a way to fight the brits without actually declaring war on them, but why should that mean all they gave us isn't deserving of credit or more.
Do you think the US deserves credit for ridding Iraq of Sadam? The US is going to (and is) gaining huge for that move but that doesn't mean the iraqi people should not give us credit? see the sameness?
And Franklin spent lots of his time dressed in womens clothes at freaky sex parties with young boys. Ben had a active mind and some great work and some not so great stuff.

Jan 20, 1777. King Louis XVI granted the American commissioner 2 million livres, payable when "The U.S. are settled in peace and prosperity". Secret envoys credited it to unnamed private hands, uncommited to paper on either side, nor would any document committing the French court to the rebels ever be entrusted to the Americans.
Only after the battle of Saratoga (an influencial victory) did France find it imperative to solidify her relationship "with a friend who could be useful if bound to us, dangerous if neglected."
Louis XVI was Bourbon, as was the King of Spain, joining their countries at the hip. Spain saw Saratoga as meaningless and found it better to remain firm, allowing the British and Americans to destroy each other.
The difference being Franklin's presence in Paris, not Madrid. England feared his presence and influence in France more than any colonial rebel army
Total cost of the Revolution to France, excluding interest, 1 - 1.3 billion livres. French gifts: 47.5 million livres.
They do not volutarily bankrupt their nation with loans to America without Franklin.
Franklin was in his seventies at the time (born Jan. 17 1706) and courted Madame Brillon and Lady Helga in the Paris evenings very frequently and the admiration he received from all the ladies of Paris was unparallelled.
His constant daytime companion, a bit flamboyant lad being Parisian educated and socialized was also his personal secretary. That would be his son.
He was highly distinguished from his personal scientific accomplishments, and was held in the highest regard in that respect for his era.
Quote:| The Copley Medal, established in 1736, is the highest award from the Royal Society of London. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Copley Medal was the equivalent of today’s Nobel Prize. For his work with electricity, Benjamin Franklin was awarded the Copley Medal, the second person to ever receive that honor. |
