I just think the novelty of these type of displays was up in the 90s, It's time for an upgrayedd. I propose leprechauns flying up and down the river wearing water jet packs, shooting people with their Chicago-style hot dog cannons would be more with the times. What's your idea?
Americans look for any reason to get shitfaced. Ask anyone what Cinco de Mayo is about about. Most wont have any clue.
which, you'd think, hey France, we hate the french (which is hilarious considering the Statue of Liberty and La Fayette).... Mexicans beating the French should be easy to recall for us.
The whole French thing is so goddamn funny, from an outside perspective - I mean, France is basically one of the few major countries the USA never fought a land or proxy war against - their only war was the Quasi war which was solely smaller naval battles and was clearly the US fault. And France was almost always willing to back the US...while the US let them down countless times.
ehhhh... I dunno man there was this whole indochina thing :|
What exactly do you mean?
How did the French fight against the US there? How did the French who literally just lost the war there (not without US pressure to not "extend" the war) let the US down there?
yikes, no one said french fought the us - we got dragged into it to defend french interests and catholic south vietnamese (who were catholic thanks to the french).
Defending french colonialism has got to be one of the dumbest fucking decisions we made post ww1 and ww2.
Have you never met an American? Look at it from the perspective of an inferiority complex and you may begin to understand.
It's the lack of curiosity or effort to act on it. If I have a question, it's moments before I open the phone and check for an answer. I always get annoyed at people who ask me questions instead of doing it themselves.
