Nah man. 'cause then we'd rebuild it and they'd stiff us on the repayment (like then did in the 40's). "Har Har, stupeed Americans, zey bomb us and zen zey rebuild us. Let's sit on our asses, watch them work, be surley and drink wine...."
The thing is typical of all the "issues" that have been identified with the French. We accuse, they deny, we believe what is printed in the press, yadda yadda yadda. But I have to admit to being predisposed to believing they are capable of this. Just because it hasn't been independantly confirmed doesn't mean it's not true - doesn't mean it is either. How's that for some fence sitting, folks?
Because I'm really a Scott. We just stay drunk and pissed at the whole world - without the snooty attitude. Kind of french-lite.
OOOOOOH NOOOOOO ! Le Frechiez iez oour frienz ! Do the American people really think that these other countries really give a shit about America and its people??? Other than sendding billlllions and billllions of OUR tax dollars for them to waste and WILL NEVER pay a dime back, they could F**k'n care less ! And yes. Just think of all the brave men and boys that have given thier lives for OTHER countries freedom. DON"T GET ME STARTED ! JUST DON"T !
If they were our only friend, I'd rather not have any thank you very much. Dutch, you're a Scot? So you browse the net at the local library rather then pay for internet service? Sorry, I have a whole bag of Scotish jokes (none too funny) and needed to break one out.
Yeah my claim to fame is that Robert Burns is in my family tree somewhere along the line - that and belonging to the largest clan in the mother land - MacKenzie. And watch it K-boy, or you won't get any of my day old special cost bread and white label peanut butter in the pits!
How do you determine there is no basis, seems to be some there... who knows. We can't wait until everything is proven before we report it. Hell, we would have never know that OJ Simpson was framed.
