A stationary, inanimate target and the French still lose.
-
I was sad to see they also vandalised the 9/11 memorial. I don't know what message that was supposed to send. Perhaps "We support terrorism, even against our own people"?

10% of French are Muslims, and growing.

How can expand the acts of one or more individual to the whole population ?
-
this is pretty weak.. I can understand the outrage as Americans have been piling the Merde pretty high with our boycotts of French products, but the French lost people on 9/11 so trashing the memorial dishonors their memories too.

This would be a good question to ask the Frenchies that did this, non?
-
how can you say it's french citizen ?
why can't it be an Us student for exemple ?

untill anyone is proven guilty it can be anyone no ?

In one thread we have US protesters with a banner that said "We support our troops if they shoot their officers" and lots of condemnation and general gnashing of teeth.
In this thread we have people saying there are no nobheads in the US.
Interesting.
-
who said there are no knobheads in the US?
Keep making up your own facts.
-
Yeah, we've got *******s in America, but I challenge you to name off one who'd be willing to deface a 9/11 memorial. Had something like that happened in the States the person that did it wouldn't have a chance to be arrested before he was beaten to death.
As Martlet says...keep stretching. Trying to pass the blame off on Americans is amusing...
-
You seemed to be disagreeing with Straffo's assertion that there are A-holes in the US. What else did you mean by your post?
That banner was far more offensive than some vandalism of an inanimate miniture statue.

Wrong interpretation of my post.
I just pointed it can be anyone even an american (even if it's not likely it's not impossible in theory)
-
I was not disagreeing with the a-holes part. I said there are a-holes in America. I've seen the banners and I've seen the damage done by some protestors.
I was refering to the fact that he was trying to pass off the damage to American citizens...

I was disagreeing with his insinuation that an American student possibly defaced the 9/11 memorial. Pretty far fetched.
-
I see. But if people are willing to promote the murder of their officers, surely they might also deface a 911 memorial? You've got to admit it's not impossible. Unlikely, true, but as Straffo says, not impossible.

I disagree with your interpretation it's a french citizen who made that.
In fact I'll disagree until it's proven.
-
Of course it's not impossible. It's far more than "unlikely" though.

Of course you will, I expected no less. :)
Go stick your head back in the sand like a good little boy, Chirac will be along shortly to give you your next thought.

Martlet: 1
straffo: 0
This is getting interesting...

It's more a 0/0 I don't take it personnal.
even with the sand comment which was ... "surprenant" and "incompréhensible"

Of course you think that, I expected no less.
I wish I could find a copy of the CNN interview with some french politician with a name I can't spell and a title to match. I'm sure he felt he held his own in that interview as well.

What word should I have used so to translate "improbable" ?

How can you affirm I'm agreeing with him without knowing me ?
-
agreeing with who?
-
oups misquoted I was thinking of Chirac.

ROFL - I go away for ten minutes and this happens!
In one corner, we have Straffo, an individual bent on claiming that Frenchmen did not deface a French statue representing America in France. Instead, he believes that disgruntled American students hopped a plane to Paris in order to defile a French 9/11 memorial when they could just as soon do it in their own country.
In the other corner, we have Martlet, often a reserved voice on these boards, sticking to his guns and using calm, calculated tactics to slowly unravel the arguments of those who oppose him. Defeat seems unlikely for this man.
And in the middle we have Dowding. Dowding has entered the ring with one goal in mind. Debate an issue until its clear youre losing, then attempt to confuse the opposition by means of subject changes and general open ended questioning.
This should be a good one folks. My money's on Martlet... Iceman Martlet.
-
I misunderstood Martlet as saying there are no tards in in the US, and therefore pointed out that was definitely not true.
'General open ended questioning'. That's a very vague and non-specific term, you've generated there.
I also see you are grand-standing again, attacking the person rather than any issue. Which is consistent. Fortunately, most of the time, those in the ring can ignore the crowd.

Bah, I attack both people and issues, variety is the spice of life. I like you Dowding, I went to school with an aweful lot of people like you. They dont attack the person or the issue - they attack whatever isnt entirely related or defended.
In terms of ignoring the crowd, wouldnt that be a little too Bush-like for your tastes?
-

'Entirely' is a very relative term.
Somparing yourself to Bush? Doesn't be so harsh on yourself mate! ;)
Bush doesn't ignore the crowd. He's a politician.

Nice way to twist reality.
This is true only in your dreams.
Your interpretation is completly idiot.

Are you saying all Muslims are Vandals??
I don’t understand your comments
We have a large Muslim population also and I find them to be peaceful and wonderful friends and neighbors.
I find fanatics however to be the loud and dangerous minority no matter who they are or what they are fanatic about.
