Anyone who is stupid enough to make the statement in my sig does not deserve to be taken seriously.

Anyone who is stupid enough to make a sig without even trying to get in the context it was posted does not deserve to be taken seriously

LOL...this is simply amazing.

So straffo, do you remember when you ripped a quote from me on Oradour completely out of its context and put it in your sig?

But dont worry, I stopped taking you seriously weeks ago...

yes I remind.

It just showed your usual answer when you have none : just ask another question or joke about it.

Hangtime you can be anti 'some' french (me uncluded) but don't forget that France is made of a lot of individuals.

Some choosen to participate actively with the german some have choose to fight the German, the majority choose to survive under the occupation.

Do you know we still find some undetonated bombs from last war ? and some gaz shell from WWI ?
2 bomb were defused last week for exemple one at Calais (I think I'm unsure) another at Rennes.

It keep reminding us what is a war.
