Honestly, I'd rather be half French than 50% inbred. The practices of incest in Alabama run deep, and it's thick in their bloodline.


Found this post on Quora interesting

quote:

historically speaking, the cliché of the French surrendering… is pretty much rubbish bollocks. Americans aren’t aware of the fact that 20 years prior to the fall of France the French couragously defended their homeland and later on defeated the occupied after the cost of 6,400,000 men, nearly 52% of the French male population was either killed or wounded by the end of world war one. It would be like if the Americans lost 10,000,000 soldiers during world war one…




So leaving their families and dying for their country, France lost what would be equivalent to 10 million of our fellow American men and the Walmart dwellers from the Yellowhammer State still have the nerve to say they just threw their weapons down without a fight. It really is a shame

It doesn’t sound like France is very good at fighting. They got their asses handed to them in WWI. Britain, Canada, America, and Australia saved them.

They then built the Maginot Line.over a period of ten years to oppose Germany. They did not build it through the Ardennes. When Germany invaded France in WWII they just drove around it. Through the Ardennes. The French abandoned the Maginot line immediately and retreated back towards Paris. Some claim they didn’t fire one shot before retreating. Shitty fighters, shitty tacticians and stupid engineers.

During the Revolution, America begged France for help. John Adams and Benjamin Franklin sailed there and requested assistance for over a year. The French aristocracy just made fun of the American hicks. However, when it looked like America might actually defeat the British, and the British were France’s mortal enemy, France sent some of their navy to America. They told America they had three months and then they were heading home because of winter weather. The French provided a naval blockade during this time. They participated in one battle, providing naval cannon fire during one battle, an American victory.

I love those type “allies”. Stand around watching two guys fight. Then when they think they know who is going to win they hit the dude losing in the back of the head a couple times. Then try to celebrate over “their” victory.

This thread makes me dislike the French more than ever. They are a morally bankrupt and emotionally broken people.

They'd be even more ashamed if they saw your schools record vs Alabama.
