Very little history is taught in our high schools anymore. They might hit a few minutes of WW1 and WW2 and in both wars the teaching is mostly how the USA won both wars all by themselves, with only a little help from other countries. That is what almost all the war movies show as well. The French just letting the Germans walk into Paris unopposed in WW2 is the real nail in the coffin.

They don't teach how without the French we would not have won independence when we did, and that the French are really not cowards. There are many jokes of buying an French or Egyptian army rifle that was little used, only dropped once.

In the end, it is just a joke. Maybe rude, but a joke.

How that 2003 post ended up in a "2020 New Random pics" thread I have no idea.

But, since you want to virtue signal and white knight, why not be outraged over this slam against Asian drivers by GH85Carrera



Seriously, learn how to laugh or ignore or maybe even understand.

As beatnavy rightly says I'm sure the great nation of France will survive this grievous blow.

BTW, that was nothing more than something ON 2003 EBAY that made me laugh. And mostly because it was impressive that someone went to such lengths for a petulant poke.

Island, I think they merged the random pic threads, that’s how your old pic showed up here.

A manufactured band for TV between '65 and '68, but then they did pretty good for themselves from '68 till '71 when they broke up.

Micky and Michael are still with us. Davy and Peter have passed on. Thanks.
