TheCobra1 Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 (Yeh, rather OT ... But anyway, to be honest Uppy, I find very difficult to talk to an American person ... always want to be right, even if he/she is totally wrong ... Dude! Cronk, if it weren't for America you wouldn't be french today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKen132 Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Haha... Oh boy. After going to McDonalds, I came home to watch some football.Come to think of it, I'm having trouble filling in these American stereotypes.My dad knows a german friend from work real well and sometimes when he's in the states, he'll come over for dinner (in about 5 hours notice- lol). He's about 10 feet tall and drinks a LOT of beer. And drives extreeeeemely fast. wow, he took me out once and I was surprised we didn't get about 10 moving violations! Ha, just a funny story (true though), funny because it matches all the stereotypes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curufinwe Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 (Dude! Cronk, if it weren't for America you wouldn't be french today. I don't see the link between talking to an American and the Normandy landing (in which let me remind you there were more British troops than American troops ...).Anyway ... let me also remind you that if it weren't for France, you wouldn't be American today ... Lafayette ... does it remind you of anything? So, please do not relate things that cannot be related ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curufinwe Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 (it is funny because we never use French fries or frites françaises in France ... it is generally acknowledged in here that fries are a Belgian invention I wonder how come it became French when it crossed the Atlantic ...

Black Op Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 @Feanor: Maybe some Frenchman in the US made fries first before the Belgiums got a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curufinwe Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 (Do you have proof? Yes ...The Americans landed in Utah beach and Omaha beach ... respectively 23,250 and 34,000. So that makes 57,250 soldiers.The British landed in Gold, Juno and Sword ... respectively 25,000, 24,000 and 28,845. So that makes 77,845 soldiers.Source ... http://www.secondeguerre.net/debarquement.htmor I have books in English, American or French ... and they nearly say all the same (sometimes instead of 24000, it is 24124 or soemthing like that ...)Does that satisfy you?

Curufinwe Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 (Excuse me Uppy, but it happens some people are interested in History...

Klaas Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Regarding the fries, why it's called french is somewhere on that site. In Belgium we just say frieten (fries), and in the Netherlands they say patat (potatoe).Yeah that guy must have too much time on his hands, but we Belgians are proud of our fries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curufinwe Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 (Uppy, I have already replied that st**id statement above ...If it weren't for the French in the War of Independence, North Americans would be speaking British English and would still be 13. And moreover, you would certainly be speaking French ... since, let me remind you, the French sold Louisiana (virtually all the land West of the 13 colonies) to the US in 1803 for nothing ...And besides, I don't see what's the problem in speaking German.So please Uppy, if you state something in your post, give it some proofs at least.

King Tutankhamun Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Woo, calm down Uppy!Please refrain from comments such as that. They are offensive, and not proper for this forum.If you have a different opinion, then start a thread in HoI, in a open-sided discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKen132 Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 A huge part of WFG is international, and I find that fascinating and really kinda cool. We can't be having tensions between different nationalities of people. I recommend you cool it. This would be your second warning for this.
