We've already thought of that and the sensual joy that is French kissing still doesn't make up for all the other stuff.

Welcome to the Cellar, piercehan. Good observation, you may have a future as a spin doctor or an agent.

French supporters were singing "et 1, et 2, et 3 zéro" (and 1, and 2, and 3 to 0)
when France won the final against Brazil (3/0) in 1998 World cup.
It was the first time France won this cup.
In 2000 France won the european championship in Holland, becomming the first country to win those 2 tournaments in two years.

Y'know....as an English bird I have a sort of inherited disdain for the French......but actually on the couple of occassions I have visited France the people have been lovely. They've been friendly and helpful and if you make even the slightest attempt to talk in French they tell you what it should have sounded like then drop into English to be helpful Now I am sure not all of them are like that but my experiences of French people have been entirely positive.
Why they may have a beef with Americans? well that is a whole other story. They ( like many Europeans) have seen America grow up into a huge world striding bully with power and arrogance to rival the British Empire at it's height and which percieves itself to be above ( or seperate from) the rest of the world community. ( eg complete disdain for the UN, a refusal to sign up to a world court unless it's own soldiers are exempt and the refusal to sign up to kioto)

The problem is not that "we" won't, but that "you" did.

I hate them because they continue to whine about Lance making all their racers look like the Nancy-Boy pastry chefs they are.

i heard today that they've revived the rumors about him juicing so he could beat them.

maybe, just maybe the banned substance that he used was... SOAP. he used said banned substance to cleanse the scum from his flesh, thusly becoming more aerodynamic. you can obviously see how this would be an unfair advantage over the french riders.
