Never underestimate the French, in a tight spot they fight like wildcats. If it wasn't for them, my great-grandfather would likely either have died in 1940 or spent four to five years in a German POW camp.

Me, underestimate the French ??
You do know Napoleon was a Slovene national hero

I really don't know where this ''french are cowards'' thing got from.
I'm guesing the US

I see no terrorists apart from some cheesed off French on strike.

I think it started when the French wouldn't get involved in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

So nothing but a childish act on his behalf.

I take your point of concern as reported, hence my post Wim but you are well aware I must maintain a neutral stance and without definitive proof must give the benefit of the doubt to everyone.

You mean that you aim to treat everyone the same, no matter what their sex, age, race, or religion?

No, being fair is not PC, never has been. But having a manic agenda to right all the social injustice in the world by shoving one's trendy views down eveyone's throat...that PC.

The proof is in the title.
the fact he made no effort to include something from the article
not 'having stated any opinion, posed a question or added any remarks whatsoever regarding the subject matter' thus ask yourself what is this thread about if you see a title like that and nothing but a link that leads to some article (I hope).
and he made a 2nd thread in close succesion to this pulling much of the same.

All this thread has done so far is to provoke and as an added bonus it was a perfect oppertunity for some to throw some mud at the French people.

As in shoving federal laws down someones throat because one can't label a some guy a terrorist for his act of terror he inflicted upon that Church in South Carolina without the law defining it so?

You're pretending you don't know what we're talking about, but I think you do.

Who, me?

I can't say I've wanted to shove my views down anyones throat, but I cannot stand bigotry, racism and xenophobia, and if I see it then I do my best to counter it. Sometimes I've jumped the gun a little, primarily because over the past ten years or so, it's been common fashion to make gross generalisations about certain races and religions, and I've spent that time trying to counter these accusations and show their inaccuracies.

Goes back even further; the French were vilified by the British and, by extension, the Yanks due to their very rapid capitulation to the Germans in WWII. There was also some grumbling about the level of resolve of the French forces during WWI...
