Voltaire: "You want to kill me because I am a Frenchman? Am I not already punished enough in not being an Englishman?"
Dump Chirac! The new battle cry for those French who aren't fooled by this idiot.
Chirac continues to put that big ol' foot into that big ol' mouth. Will he never learn?
"Just remember that if it wasn't for France's help in the Revolutionary war, we would be speaking English."
This is unintentionally funny--unless you were trying to be ironic...
"Chirac: "You are so lucky that you're not British"'
Especially tasteless considering the terrorist bombings that killed innocent British last week. The UK is in mourning and Chirac pops off with this crap. What a despicable, heartless bastard.
What is "children poverty".By EU standards in a country that had a zero income there would be no poverty.In the EU the poverty rate fluctuates depending on the average income of the country.Those living on less than 40 per cent excluding housing are immediately living in poverty.Two children living in two separate countries could have identical lifestyles and incomes and assets but one could be considered living in poverty and the other would not.It is all about what the meaning of "is"is.
"Just remember that if it wasn't for France's help in the Revolutionary war, we would be speaking English."
"This is unintentionally funny--unless you were trying to be ironic..."
Actually the funnyness was intentional. It also works if you consider speaking American different from speaking English.
France the old Europe ping!
Sauce. The benchmark of quality.

"Our food 'as sauce. Zerefore we are better zan everyone else."
