French or German?

[Minister Masket]

They salute with both hands now!

[Napoleon Ier]

Wait a minute. Why do we side with the French whenever they and Germany have a tiffle?

779-788...no help.

1792...no help.

1871...no help.

1914...they invaded Belgium and threatned to challenge British control of the seas if they seized French coastal regions, which would enable them to take a share in the colonial territories.

1939...Adolf Hitler should be reason enough to helpout France, poland, Czechslovakia, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands.

France.

Food. Wine. A mediterranean coast. The best alps. Fresh bread every morning. A spoken language that doesn't sound like a rottweiler clearing its throat. Brittany. Godard. Le Tour. Foie gras (whether you like it or not, it says plenty about their attutude to food). Cantona. Armagnac. Serge Gainsbourg. Bardot.

The French Alps are overrated (even though I'll admit to have never been there); the Austrian, Swiss and Bavarian Alps (heck, even the Italian ones) are better. German is a more robust language, lacking all those annoying nausal sounds. Besides, older war films only show Bavarian, a (last I was told by a good friend of mine, who would know given that is one of the things his is in college for) rustic dialect of German. Beck's beer, bratwurst and indeed many other German inventions are now samples of American culture (we are the melting pot, are we not?). All France gave us was a gianormas piece of real estate and an aide-de-camp to General Washington. If I were traveling to Europe, Lufthannsa all the way!

Problem, Charlamange was a Frankish King. The Franks were a Germanic Tribe, who conquered already Visigothic Gaul, which previously belonged to Rome after Rome claimed it by right of conquest from the Celtic Tribes inhabiting the area, the Gauls later becoming Romanized and therefore becoming Romans. The Goths, a Germanic tribe from the Baltics (parts of Sweden and modern-day Lithuanian and Lativa. They were probably related to the later Lombards), conquered Gaul from Rome and defended it against the Huns (the REAL Huns, under Attila, not those "huns" spoke of in old war films. The pejorative "Kraut" is far more accurate) with Roman help. Later, the Franks drove the Visigoths to Spain, where they were murdered by the invading islamic Moors. It was a decendant of Charlamange (I think), Charles Martel, who defended the fledgling Frankish state from muslim invasion. Shortly thereafter, France was born. After the Holy Roman Empire of Charlamange, all other Holy Roman Emperors were German Kings ruling over Germany. After about the time of the Battle of Tours, France and Germany split, creating their fair share of Europe's troubles until 1945.

And now for the most pointless point-by-point rebuttal I have ever posted:

The French Alps are overrated (even though I'll admit to have never been there); the Austrian, Swiss and Bavarian Alps (heck, even the Italian ones) are better.

Better how? Are they more fragrant? More use in a crisis? Pointier? I live in London, and the French alps are closer. That makes them the best. And you have never been.

German is a more robust language, lacking all those annoying nausal sounds.

I would go for nasal over bronchial anytime. Especially if I was a-chattin' to a lady.

Besides, older war films only show Bavarian, a (last I was told by a good friend of mine, who would know given that is one of the things his is in college for) rustic dialect of German.

I didn't mention war films. I speak from experience of talking to actual germans and picking phlegm out of my mustache for days afterwards.

Beck's beer, bratwurst and indeed many other German inventions are now samples of American culture (we are the melting pot, are we not?).

Pickled cabbage? Sausages? Come ON! german 'cuisine' makes england look like a culinary wonderland.

If I were traveling to Europe, Lufthannsa all the way!

Here, I concur. I hate Air France, with its supercilious air hostesses and their effortless sexual confidence. I flew long-haul in a Lufthansa plane once and it was brilliant. They didn't even feed us sauerkraut. These days however I am limited to easyjet, and then only with my maximum allowed carry-on guilt allowance.

France FTW! (I realise literally that is laughable, but still)

They both have questionable personal hygiene.
Apparently they wash.

Ahhh...so being gay is bad is it? You're insulted by it? So not only do you tackily edit pictures but you flip-flop as well!

You are now a bigoted homophobe. I shall now call you racist, a Ron Paul wacko and compare you to he Nazis as if this somehow re-inforces my point.

Good point, I was thinking along more the lines of intellectual maturity.

Did he say he was insulted?

Well you certainly know how to debate.

[Dancing Mustard]

No, I just said you were 'trying' to insult me. Given that you've just confessed that you imagined I would be insulted by such accusations, you have proved yourself to be a homophobe.

Bad luck. I win again. Please deliver my trophy by Sunday afternoon, I have family coming over.

I am a homophobe. That a problem for you?

Better luck next time MouseTurd.

Why is it when I use Jungian psychology in an actual debate, it gets ignored, but you get to insult me with corrupted freudo psychoanalyticism?

Perhaps you would do better if you utilised less weighty sentences yet more substansive arguments
