Haha. So, losing to a massively superior force of Germans was cowardly, and yet ruling from Moscow to Portugal was too? Franco-Prussian war, they lost, simple. WW1 they put up quite a bit of a fight, enough to lose thousands and thousands of soldiers. I suppose the enormous French empire in the 18th/19th early-mid 20th century was also built on cowardice?
Defining any nation as a single characteristic is silly anyway, but to say any nation is cowardly is even sillier. We only survived in WW2 because we had a large stretch of water between us and Europe - what would have happened to us if the Blitzkrieg had moseyed on down to Dover from Calais -by land?

yeah true, but to be fair we ruled what? a quarter of the world? Just like my friend says. France is better without the french (i can't really sympathise with the french much these days).

France is quite a picturesque country, very beautiful indeed, I'm not to keen on the people though, especially the die-hard french women, damn they are hairy! Its quite a cowardly nation, overall the people are crap but the country itself is quite a nice place.
Ahh, I love Paris.*
Wonderful city. Despite being odd in places. And tramps....oo er.
Stayed up a side street from the Moulin Rouge. Coulda got some prostitute action. Maybe. Anyway, Monmatre (up the hill to the church) is a gorgeous little maze of cobbled streets, trees, old buildings and flowers.

it reminds me of a very disturbing story of a trip to paris. Those of you from Moulsham who went on the sixth form trip to disney might know this (It was an educational trip into running a themepark). But for those of you who weren't or don't go to that place. Heres the disgusting story.
It was around 9.00 at night. Our teacher begins to explain the situation:
"This is a posh area of Paris and i don't want you to start messing around or behaving badly"
The coach stops, we couldn't reach our restaurant by coach so we will decide to go it on foot. But before we could, a french man (tramp?) jumps over a barrier in a nearby pavement works and bends over and craps onto the pavement (right in front of our faces!). Everyone on the front top deck (including me) saw the horror unfold, some of our mates started to bang on the coach window (we were soon advised not to by another teacher). After he had finished, the tramp had the courtously to at least cover it with news paper (i wonder what happened with the pavers?). We got out and had to walk past the disgusting scene. It made us wonder that night, what really was in that chocalate mousse dessert (thankfully, i chose apple pie).
So much for trying to being good in a posh area of paris.

And I thought the area around the Moulon Roughe was one of the most peverted areas of Paris. What a nutter.
I'll never got to the Bois de Bologne after reading that.
