Respectfully (none / 1)

Your comment is like those on DailyKos by people shocked to be called center-right even though they are posting on DailyKos - fully unaware that they are mindlessly repeating rightwing talking points (ugh, socialisim is evil, ugh, the private sector works better than government, ugh, lowers taxes are good, etc...).

Similarly, French-bashing is part of the background - look at his ignorant comments on the suburb "riots" that were quoted elsewhere in the thread.

I'll belive I'm wrong if someone French tells me I am really seeing things that are not there. Sorry, Ted, you don't count here.

I cannot believe I am having this conversation with you. I think everyone here has made their point.

You are kind of acting like a jerk at this point, so I am going to stop engaging you.

I hope everyone else enjoyed the post.

Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

Only french people can spot French bashing? Only French people have the correct take on American humourists?

Personally I think only Irish people can understand irony. That is my conceit and I'm sticking to it!
