Oh good grief, get over your self-righteousness. Sometimes you need to be able discern enemies from friends. Some would even call it stereotyping. If someone keeps intentionally hurting you, you are being irresponsible *not* to stereotype them.
"And there is no "we" on Free Republic.
Two or more people is *we*. You might want to check your facts on that one. Or just type "france", "french" on the search engine and read the threads.
"Sure, it's good clean fun to bash. This medium works well for that. But, when the chips are down, comes a time to lay off that."
It is our perogative to express our opinions, whether you like it or not. And, btw, *we* will continue to -- whether you like it or not.
Why? So I can sit with "we" on Mount Olympus and hurl lightning bolts?
No, I'll just be "me" and expose foolisheness when it slaps me in the face.
