Well, next time you want to have a serious actual discussion about a topic, maybt think about starting it in a non-inflamitory fashion. We like to discuss all sort of things here and baiting anyone is not a healthy way to start a discussion - nor is it welcomed here.

Some of my best acquaintances are of French descent.


(Hey, wait a minute- so am I!)

The French are human, like the rest of us, despite rumors to the contrary. Of course they are going to have individuals and groups of people that commit crimes, behave in a less than ethical manner, and just generally piss us off. We do the same to them. We meddle in foreign affairs all the time, so why should we be that upset or surprised when they do? When it serves our purposes they are considered allies, and when it doesn't, then they are the enemy. Say what you want about them, there is no disputing this truth: They are fabulous cooks.:D

And honestly, it's clear that in this thread you're more interested in trading barbs and snarky comments (as am I) than in actual discussion.

Like I said before we're both here for a reason, but it's obvious intelligent discussion isn't one of them.

I stand corrected, I did say what I said.

So did I .

Well, to be truthful, I am also a teeny bit German- don't tell anyone!

So, you're a teeny German? What're ya, 'bout 5'3", 5'4" ?

DUCK AND COVER!!!!!!

"Top Secret" is one of my most favorite spoof movies. Last good Val Kilmer movie, also.

"It took us two hours to get the smile off his face..."
If you don't get it, watch the movie. And I give it a four-star drink warning.

Tombstone, Real Genius, and Top Secret are my 3 favorite Val Kilmer films; in that order.

I'll let y'all come up with some way of rerailing this thread...

um....

Nick Rivers:
"I'm not the first guy who fell in love with a girl he met in a restaurant, who then turned out to be the daughter of a kidnapped scientist, only to lose her to a childhood lover who she's last seen on a deserted island, and who turned out fifteen years later to be the leader of the French Underground."

Those wacky French.

Hillary Flammond: My uncle was born in America.
Nick Rivers: Oh, really?
Hillary Flammond: But he was one of the lucky ones. He managed to escape in a balloon during the Jimmy Carter presidency.
