Please refrain from using the most general term you can when refering to Americans. I refering to the word "they." Not all of us are "they."

I vote French. And not only the French, but French Canadians, and anyone who feels the need to correct you, and toss is the phrase "It's French," when you accidentally mispronounce their name.
Correcting is one thing, but who cares about your ethnicity?

You are kidding right? Tongue firmly planted in cheek right?
Paris contains the worst Muslim ghettos in all of Europe ..... has disallowed Muslim (specifically) freedom of expression ...... The Veil ..... regards with disdain and contempt their own citizens of the Islamic persuasion. Just wait, it'll explode one day and we'll see how nice the French are (human after all)
refer to Battle of Algiers.
But I know you had to be kidding anyway. The French and empathy/understanding don't belong in the same sentence.
Generally speaking of course.

Correct me if Im wrong but wasnt there a big Muslim massacre on the streets of France just 25 years ago? Something like 200-300 Muslims (mostly) executed by police and bodies dumped over the bridges of Paris?

dear seek(s?)travelinfo:
most banlieues sure aren't holiday resorts, but I think it's mostly about poor folks living there and the gov not spending any money in years to improve the situation. Economy not religion is the crux.
Banning of obvious religious symbols only applies to public places (state schools and such) and doesn't target hijab only. Yewish "hats" and big crucifixes aren't allowed either. Muslim girls were most obvious demonstrators, coached in from all over France and not so numerous. Couple of hundreds.

Dutchy: number of people killed / thrown in the Seine will remain unknown, but remember: it was during the independence struggle for Algeria.
Nationalism, religion, etc are all factors to be considered in that era. Those victims weren't killed because they were Muslims, but because they wanted the French state to give up one of their final colonies...

I'm assuming your sexual advances on a French Canadian tart were spurned?

No, my foriegn advances go towards the Russians.
There was this guy in my basic training. He was one of the two "those guys" (meaning the ones that fuck up everything), and if anyone would mispronounce the name Lamance (La-man-se), he would then correct them, and say, "it's French."
My goal, for my last day in the army, was to wear a name tag that read "Slapass." And everytime they would call me slapass, I would correct them with, "No, the name is Sla-pahss. It's French." I would have had a lot of fun doing that, while showing my general disdain with the army, by mocking it every way I could think of.

RYP or Kurt, I thought people who contribute nothing but threads that lead to flame wars, were to be expelled from the friendly confines of the BFC? Doesn't Sri Lanky merit such action?
