Post-it war in France

[Bulle]

It takes a few hours, yeah. But they do say that this is something you are supposed to do after you finished working... Or not.

 

[Kevlar]

Yeah, so clever. I don't think the French ever surrendered to other French people in a war of France versus France.

You do realize if they had a civil war...someone would have to surrender eventually.

 

[Tibertus]

The French are the only people the French would not surrender to. Hilarity would ensue.

You don't surrender to an overwhelming angry mob.

 

[Tibertus]

Who ever said a civil war has to involve a mob?

 

[Cyborg Eastern European]

Yes, it can also involve hillbillies shooting at each other till one side runs out of hillbillies.

 

[Tibertus]

Or genocide.

 

[Cyborg Eastern European]

Those wars are hardly what I'd call 'civil'.
Fun? Yes.

 

[Tibertus]

I'd say they were "meh".

 

[Cyborg Eastern European]

Well, they did end a bit fast.

 

[Sir Saladin]

According to you both sides would surrender after the first shot was fired because you think they are all a bunch of pansies who always surrender even when they don't have to. I don't agree with this idea and I think it has become very popular to think that they are a bunch of chickens because they rightly didn't immediately jump on the invade Iraq bandwagon whatever their reasons were.

I don't like the Iraq war so I get annoyed by all the "surrender monkey" nonsense sometimes but I have no personal stake in it, I'm not French so it doesn't hurt my feelings.

Edit: Wow, eight replies before I got finished with this one, I was replying to Kevlar.

 

[Tibertus]

I think the term "Cheese munching surrender monkeys" has been around since before the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.

 

[Sir Saladin]

I said it was more popular because of their recent "betrayal" not that it had been invented for Iraq war propaganda. I'm just glad the whole "freedom fries" thing didn't really catch on.

 

[Cyborg Eastern European]

Heh. Over here, there was a joke at the time that went along the lines of this:
"The best rapper is a white guy, the best golf player is a black guy and the French don't want war."

 

[Slawtering]

I can't wait for Germany to invade...

 

[Scully]

Can't talk about France without talk of monkeys and surrendering.

At least they're not ugly brits or fatso mericans.

 

[Mage246]

Or boring Norwegians. That's a stereotype, right?

 

[Tibertus]

I found out why we keep fat people around. We pretend they're citizens, but they're really just in case there's a big war and we start having to ration food, we'll butcher the fatties for extra sustenance.

Hey lets not begin to stereotype entire countries.

And here I was, thinking you had them in case a zombie outbreak left you in need of someone slower than yourselves.
