I AM ReeeEALLY starting to wonder if that is actually true.

Me I run too(and bike, Capoeira, strenght and hike), no better drug than the feeling you have after(running)

A weapon can come in many forms, not necessarily guns, but for example machetes or knives or even knowledge

Ps. Crocs and snakes can be eaten.

Are you claiming the country that lost the battle of Agincourt is better than us?
Are you claiming that the counrty that can't control it's Muslim population from rioting is better than us?
Are you claiming that the country that can't get people fired is better than us?

Because it sounds like you are

I beileve that your right that if we went back to our policy of neutrality that it would work out much better for us, but i doubt that it could happen. To many countries need our help to survive and get by. But do you think that if we put all our money into solving our problems that it would actully happen? Politicians are still going to be politicians and still very little will ever be solved until its to late. Its how we roll in a way.

France is better than the US.

But I doubt this is something they spend a lot of time thinking about.

With what the US is today, to be better than them is nothing special.

partier9

first off im joking about that but, if you really want a argument about it bring it on.

What makes France better than the USA is it their proud history or is the fact that they can't finish a war without looking like complete idiots? Or is it when they pledge to guard the Israely Lebbanon they pull out and have Italy be the UN peacekeeper?

Volker

France does not send so many criminals and terrorists to places there they have no business, not in absolute numbers and not in relative numbers.

I don't remember one single war where Frenchies looked like idiots after a war. They can be great even if they don't win, just look at Napoleon.

There are some wars where French soldiers and mercenaries did terrible things, this was mainly in Africa, especially in Algeria, and in Indochina, there were other places, too.

But when it comes to name foreign power attrocities in these regions, people probably would think of the US and Belgium before they think of France.

France has a strong contingent in UNIFIL 2 as far as I know. They were among the first and they are still there or are they not?

They are peacekeepers and there is peace there or isn't it?

This sounds like peace.

Boy it sounds like a great place.

We were talking about Lebanon.

They created a worldwide Empire like other nations did at around the same time other nations did and they lost it at around the same time other nations did. I don't say this was a good thing. Check a map from around 1840, one from 1900 and one from 1960 and you will see that France was as succesfull or not successful like other nations.

The main difference to other colonial powers was, France was less racist.

Volker

What does this mean? I am from of Huguenot family, funny enough, I know Huguenot descendants from Germany to South Africa, but not one, who lives in France. It looks like the Catholics won. Sure Huguenots are Frenchies, too.

Yes they did. So, thats one part of there history. Most of it's history is filled with defeat.If they can't maintane peace in there own country they shouldn't do it in the world.
