[Mark17]

I live outside England, I am not English, I was born outside England yet I was born in Britain, have always lived in Britain.

I see, you have never lived anywhere else in the world? I have lived outside the US for 10 years. I must say, I would much rather live in California. Are you helping Africans yet? I am not, never will. Happily, most of my my historic knowledge lies in Asia in general, the Philippines in particular. I will help them, you help whoever you want to.

[The Great Yazoo]

Not really.

[The Great Yazoo]

Vichy?

[The Great Yazoo]

I do hope you'll go off praising the French! On Free Republic, no less!

"Socialist idiot......handouts won't fix this problem. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime..."

And to expand on that thought, teach and encourage countries to adopt free markets, free elections, education. Basically democracy which is what we have spent trillions on in the last 50 years. Some countries adopt it and amazingly, their people are doing much better. Many people here in the States send donations internationally already out of good-will.

sure I'll go along with a new tax - as long as I am represented!

I agree, I think the US should tax all Frenchmen.

[The Great Yazoo]

Surely you don't believe the gift of the Statue of Liberty remotely approximates in stature France's conduct of the 20th and 21st centuries?

[quant5]

"Well here's a thought, maybe the Africans could do soething about fixing up their own water. From time to time people have to do something for themselves however people get the leadership that they deserve."

France gets the leadership it deserves because socialist frenchman vote people like Chirac in. People in North Korea on the other hand havn't had much of a choice of leadership. Not every people can have a revolution to become free from tyranny and win like we did in the US.

[The Great Yazoo]

Like many Americans, I am proud of my Scottish (and French, actually) heritage.

[quant5]

"Whats so hard about boiling water to kill bacteria and parasites?"

That is a great point. I posted something similar about the dictators of these countries hogging the resources and starving their people.

[The Great Yazoo]

Worse than Scotland? Yes!

[John Lenin]

Now that Kofi has been reduced to rubble it looks like our socialist/communist friend chIRAQ will take up the mantle. These commies heads are spinning, they are so knocked off balance right now it is funny and pathetic at the same time.

[RetiredArmy]

Sorry pal, I am no cowardly Brit like you. You drink that French piss called wine, not me. That is what makes you so cowardly.

[ichabod1]

The French weren't exactly displaying "well brought-up behavior" in the 18th and 19th centuries either.
