A small part... and the rest of the world does not feel the same way about "The French". So, when you said "the world" you were wrong. You meant the US - which Icepop astutely called you on.Quote:

Well, the English like to take the piss out of the French too... but that's usually just normal pisstaking like the US/Canada rivalry shit - not racist xenophobic bullshit.
I also forgot about Red Green. Sometimes that show is funny. The best segment is when he makes things.
Fuck that, I meant none of it. The French have been the worlds running joke ever since WW2, and that's what I was referring to.Quote:

Mexico, Australia, Canada, U.S.A., and England all poke fun of the French, with the french returning the favor. It's not like it's uncommon for cultures to joke at one another about their pitfalls (see the post above about American hicks), so I don't know why you're acting like nobody does it except America, Toronto and Alberta, no less.
Since you can tell me what I mean, I can therefore say your post meant that you enjoy a cold refreshing glass of moose marmalade.
Yes, it is, but the name and marketing concept comes from the POG juice caps. Obviously, people used to play the game long before the fad started - Haleakala Dairy was the first to capitalize on it (and name it after their juice flavour of course).Quote:

If you ever have the chance to go to Hawaii, POG juice is well worth drinking! There are also knockoff versions of pog called "pass-O-guava" other similar names that are cheaper and easier to get but still taste good.
I really don't get the whole racism towards the french, or why its acceptable. I can understand why the English do it, as stated above, its a rivalry thing they've got, like Canada and USA, or Australia and New Zealand. But why the fuck can Americans go spouting racist shit about them?
EDIT: And we don't make fun of the french (though I'm sure a few of us do).
I actually KNOW people like Red Green. My uncle lives in an area like that.
:lol: I've seen people like that around Parry Sound or even just generally on the drive from Montréal to Parry Sound. :pQuote:

It's just an old rib from war time because the french surrendered. So then the allies bailed them out, so it's almost like an immature schoolyard prank, I suppose. Some Australians I know do it too. (I only know about 30 though, and I doubt that's the countries population.)Quote:

It's nothing serious like we want them all killed or something like that, and I don't just go around insulting french people for no reason.
Smith Falls and Stanleyville are like Red green. There's a guy who has an 'antique' shop too. It's just a bunch of fucking junk though. I'm sure if you are a carpenter you'd be in heaven. There's a lot of old work in his shop.
Well, Toronto is between Vc and Montreal, for one :D:D:D. There's also Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina (which doesn't count as much of a city, but it's the biggest town in Saskatchewan). The West is made up largely of farmland, with a relatively small population compared to the rest of the country. Statistically, there's just not enough people to raise a serious voice on forums like this one. Kind of like, if you have a discussion about various parts of the US, you won't have a whole lot of people shouting about South Dakota or Delaware.Quote:

Yeah, parry sound sounds like just about the right area to find Red Green-esque characters.Quote:
