If I say I speak French better than you, and your answer is how quaint, I feel that the choice of words arent the most apropiate. If you believe otherwise, fair enough

Vous trepassez les bornes !
Votre Francais ne vaut pas un clou !

But considering that half of the english language is French. The English of today is based on some kind of a Pidgin French where the local language would be a blend of Saxon Gaelic and Viking. Like the pidgin the grammar is simple to be understood and spoken by the many.

The French are good for 2 things - Collaborating and telling lies (honest I was in the Resistance during the war) - they seem to forget that without the yanks, brits, canadians, Anzacs and the rest they would all be speaking German. Still Chirac is that far up Schroders arse he probably wishes that were true anyway. The UK should get the hell out of the EU and join the Yanks, Canadians, Aussies etc. in a new Free Trade Agreement as they are and always will be our truest friends. Pity Blair can't make up his mind - the twat

humm ...wherent the americans the ones that entered WWII after the Pearl Harbor bombing? 2 years after it started?
Before that they where reluntant in helping the invaded european countries.

Almost all wars are about control and economic interests.

Excess patriotism leads to blindness, excess anti-americanism also leads to blindeness.

Very few americans are dumb, very few french are lyars so dont generalise.

Jealous LOL? I am not American so I wasn't defending myself. I just wanted to comment on the easy cheap shot, you know very well you have no busineess commenting about the US educational system when coming from Portugal.
They arent that diferent in the end results.

Am i the only person that thinks that the western democrocies are in the edge of becoming right wing facist regimes?

Nevermind, all that i said, after all ik from portugal, what do i now?

Didn't Portugal use to be a fascist regime? The French are and always have been only interested in themselves. The fact that english and not french is the international language pisses them off no end. That is why they even tried to ban the increased use of english words in the french language. I fucking hate the french, they are a bunch of useless tossers who are self centered, arrogant and about as much use as a fart in a space suit. The sooner the UK wises up and gets the fuck out of the EU the better.
