Morsi ousted in military coup

[Spider]

Overcorrecting for the worlds biggest little brother complex, with the Brits having been right next door and managing to spread their culture, language, and empire around the world while they mostly jerked off. Makes them crazy.

That's a pretty ironic statement, considering we're heading into well-trod "french are conceited, arrogant assholes" stereotype. While making an arrogant, conceited, assholish statement.

I couldnt POSSIBLY dislike the practically ingrained sense of superiority and disdain anglos have for the french, as demonstrated so beautifully by Spider. The fullout loathing and caricaturization of most things even tangetially related to the french or France so endemic in anglo pop culture has no effect whatsoever. That's not what makes me "crazy".

No, you're right, it's all just jealousy that we weren't as effective and ruthless at being colonialist conquerors. Being a world power had no meaning whatsoever, and equated to basically "jerking off", because it wasn't as large as the brit one. By that metric literally every country in the world has always been "jerking off", and still is. But I wouldn't want to get in the way of your colonialist masturbation. I guess being proud of being the biggest murdering assholes on the planet is still cool, as long as it's used to shit on the french of course.

Not to mention all the "overcorrecting" (because this is constantly on every french person's mind, their entire lives, weighed down by the awful realization that anglos are just so superior ) by rude assholes is pretty much always limited to Paris, which, this may blow your mind, is not the only city in France. A lot of parisians are rude to everyone, including other parisians and french. It's not because they hate you. They hate anyone who makes their day even slightly worse. NAB pretty much nails it when he says "equal opportunity snobs". Paris is by far the most visited city in France, for business or pleasure, and probably easy to equate to the entire country for tourists.

You're right, after so much time on the internet I should know by now that the mere mention of being french was like waving a red flag in front of a retarded, aggressive bull. I'm so sorry I triggered your automatic "french suck urh dur i'm hilarious" reflex. Mea maxima culpa. LOLOL I JUST SAID FLAG, TIME FOR THE PREDICTABLE WHITE FLAG JOKE. I suggest something subtle and indirect, like "red flag? I thought the french favoured a different colour". f**k comedy gold right there. Maybe it'll get it out of your system for a while, or at least until the next mention of "french" inevitably lights up those same repetitive neural pathways.
Of course there's always the possibility that you're some sort of hipster only doing it "ironically", in which case it's possible I dislike you even more for it. Everything is worse when done by hipsters.
And if one touchy frenchman is enough to reverse your previously held position, you quite obviously didn't believe in it very much. Especially if it had something to do with ridiculous generalizations of an entire group of people being dumb.

Deep breaths, mon ami. In and out. Wax on, wax off. Happy place. Power animal. The spirit will overcome.

(Takes note of explosive results of comparing French historical impact to that of the British. Nods in satisfaction. Twists mustache.)

...Actually...consider this ongoing emotional outburst your having, and maybe reverse roles mentally. Think about how it might contrast with people's feelings on anti-americanism. Then maybe think about concepts like hypocrisy. And the Golden Rule.

Just a small thought experiment.

But do the breathing exercises first. I'm concerned.

But seriously, as someone who's been waging a one man PC battle on France jokes over the years, I think I'm due points for a little tongue in cheek ribbing. It was a response to the above posts you ignored. You'll never have heard a single one of the standard jokes from me.

Your just leaping to conclusions and making assumptions...and deflating preconceptions is my number one favorite internet activity.

In and out. In and out...
