If we were in solidarity with France we would have a photo of an AK 47 or M4 or any other big ass fire arm, not some wussy flag.

Well, it wasn't a wussie flag when Napoleon Bonaparte was flying it, nor when French soldiers were slugging it out with the Germans in World War I.

Oh come on!
Ok, a flag means something but geeze, in this circumstance, it smacks of symbolism not constructive progress.
It’s meaningless and you know it...

Or when they fought here on our behalf. Their people run the whole spectrum, from mensch to effete, snotty a-holes, just as ours do. My hospital admission before last, I shared a room with a Parisian (and his wife, who wouldn't leave his side for a minute and slept in his guest chair). They were wonderful company.

I don't mock the French and I remember Freepers who were French taking a beating here for... IDK, being from France.
