<br>You're the one that needs to do the re-reading and not just in this thread. Every other post of his bashes the U.S. for having inferior taste to his own. It irritates a lot more people than just me.[/quote]

Fair enough. I'll go back and read up.

[quote]Somehow you know every country I've ever visited? I won't call you dumb because I have too much respect for you but that was a ridiculous statement and one that is far beneath you.[/quote]

Of course I have no idea where you have been, but I don't know anyone that has actually been to France that believes the stereotypes you've put forth, unless all they did was stick to the tourist traps. I've been treated very respectfully by the French and I visit Paris twice a year. The French can be annoying, but so can Iranians, Chinese, Americans, Nicaraguans, etc. Any stereotype can be made true if you choose to believe in it. I have black friends that like fried chicken. Does that make the stereotype true? No. But it applies in their case. Pilon has been a very polite and positive contributor to NWO, but you don't hear about that. Only the French folks that fit the stereotype get the attention. It is as simple-minded as renaming French Fries "Freedom Fries". Throw out the positive and dwell on the negative.

[quote]BTW, I don't have to "act" superior to Fanciz. Not now. Not ever.

I hope you haven't decided you're superior based on a few anonymous posts on the internet. You're way smarter than that. Leave that kind of crap for the idiots of the world.

Enough ranting. I'm grumpy, You're as entitled to an opinion as I am. I'll stop butting in.

All true and one can hardly blame them for disliking tourists.

Nah, nothing like that. I just decided that by the laws of probability [:D].

No problem. You're welcome to butt in any time. You're also welcome to stop gaining on me in that damn NWO fantasy baseball league. [8D]
