And also i'm so sick of hearing silly Americans ***** about how much they helped the French in wars. Give it a rest guys, please. And before you say something again, you pretty much owe your original independence from Britain to these 'cowards'.

There is something you should know, 9-11 is not something to play around with, or joke about with Americans, if you cant deal with it then so be it, but don’t spend too much time bouncing your head into a wall wondering why, like you originally asked, because it will always just be that way.
I will presume when you reference "silly Americans *****" you were talking about me and some others, I’m curious what ***** stands for firstly? And, what about stating simple history to someone is silly? To someone who clearly takes the gifts their country has been given time and time again, and mocks the country who helped give it. (America doesn’t need any economic relations with France, although France has been one of America’s longest standing allies, and it is in our best interest to do so.)
If you want to go into a deeper history, where countries fought countries, towns fought against towns, and tribes fought against tribes, we can keep digging deeper until we get to the Persian wars, the point is in the modern age with modern weaponry, and in an age where someone could have easily ruled all of Europe, (and was well on his way to do so) it was the combined efforts of the UK (who had already suffered huge casualties), Russians, and the Americans who destroyed the Nazi's and secured a "splitting at the seams" Europe.
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth is thee old saying, Americans have always given to those who have helped them in times of war (including the French during the American Revolution) through economic diplomacy and alliance (not always a good thing, Saddam), its not calling who a coward, it's who are your friends when times get tough, when someone from France (who doesn’t speak for all of France obviously) begins to drop pics of 9-11 when losing a forum argument, you have to begin to wonder.. and take pause at that sort of stupidity.
Hopefully we can ignore all this nonsense and get back to the 8C.. Broyax obviously has had an agenda for awhile, what better way to ruin an 8C thread then dropping a 9-11 pic..
