In defence of the French

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I see, if it is about political correct, i can share a 2 cent from a country that is butchered by politically correct personas. Don't believe PC politicians, journalists, tv celebs, idiots, etc
Don't support PC of any kind!
Don't support any party, organization even F.C. that use PC language!
Don't use PC language! Avoid those who do, they are a bunch of liars, a bunch of idiots, a bunch of Mafiosi!

i am the first to be un-PC and the last to be PC but nonetheless would always be surprised and disappointed as fuck to find a HL thread entitled "why i don't mind ni**ers" (my asterisks) or "jews aren't all that bad because....". [/point made]

The thing about political correctness is that all it's trying to do is avoid offending people. I don't see what's so bad about that.

It's because you haven't seen how scums use PC against all those that oppose them to hide behind the dust of PC accusations. And the funny thing is that those that use PC are the most offensive and violent people you can see around you right now. They remind the cultural revolution of mao or lynch mob.

The most violent and offensive people I see around are the EDL and Britain First crowd. And PC is an accusation you certainly can't level at them.

It is, mostly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Maria_Farina ...

And as to defence for the French, these are only a few people who come to my mind at a very first glimpse ...
Voltaire, Charles Baudelaires, Jean Cocteau, Arthur Rimbaud, Marcel Proust, Stéphane Mallarmé, Louis Aragon, Antonin Artaud,
Paul Cézanne, Gustave Doré, Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, André Breton, Paul Éluard, Francis Picabia, Fernand Léger, Yves
Tanguy, Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, Marcel Duchamp, Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Jean Genet, Jacques Derrida,
Erik Satie ... ahhhhhh ... the list seems endless ...

I seem to recall reading that the baguette was Napoleon's invention; a day's bread ration that a soldier could carry wrapped in the middle of his bed-roll.

The castle, though nice, isn't his, not are any of the other items in my list apart from 'Nice place', suitably interpreted.
