40. Sorry, people actually expect facts here. This isn't the Hannity show.

Why do you guys have to lie all the time in order to make a point? Ever wake up in the middle of the night and think, "jesus! I'm full of shit"?

[VolcanoJen]

29. Actually, that could be RimJob's younger brother, upper left.

The one who seems to be having a jolly good chuckle!

11. This is bullshit

The only protest in the last month in West Africa was against the cocoa trade.

[Walt Starr]

12. I know, that's why I called him on it

Total bullshit. Look at the site the picture is hosted on if you want the truth.

[graham67]

13. Yep, I looked at it.....

Laser tag site. LOL If there was a huge outrage in Europe I think we probably would've heard about it.

[A_Monkey]

14. I already told you....

He uses it to host his personal stuff

[tishaLA]

28. *bonus points*

[tishaLA]

15. And yet no mention in

Le Monde or Le Figaro. How odd that this has caused "outrage in Europe"

On edit: But you might notice what has captured France's attention: "Le plus haut gradé de l'armée américaine en Irak a approuvé l'utilisation de la torture à Abou Ghraibz" the headline screams. Again, how odd the newspapers lack mention of this.

[graham67]

17. I googled and yahoo'd....

all the keywords I could think of. Nothing.

[Snazzy]

22. here is le commando

(same guy in top photo, right)

[Walt Starr]

23. Yup, all sorts of goodies on that site

not a word of truth in the bullshit of the original post, though.

[LibertyorDeath]

42. ROFL OMG Stop I just shot Pepsi thru my nose

Edit: reworded last question

[tishaLA]

27. Our friends in France are discussing Sanchez's criminal behavior

See?

"Le plus haut gradé de l'armée américaine en Irak a approuvé l'utilisation de la torture à Abou Ghraib"

[metasphere]

25. That picture looks like people horsing around

and I think this is BS

[thebigidea]

21. oh shit! he's gonna get shot by a Laser Tag gun - it'll cost him a point!

this may disqualify him from round two of the tournament. Now over to Skip Drithers with the latest badminton news... Skip?

[ElectroPrincess]

32. Yah ... ten points off!

Gosh, the next time you wish to push some "gotcha" information, transfer the photo to a Manila host site.

Big tell = "/laserquest34" in the URL. :P

[graham67]

30. Seriously, if you went to a protest

armed with a machine gun (for your own defense no less!), wouldn't you expect to get thrown down and have weapons pointed at your head? :eyes:

[stavka]

31. What is this stupidity?

I can't even be convinced anybody in this photo is French or has even been to France? looks like a bunch of people screwing around with air-soft guns....what a waste of bandwidth

[Forkboy]

33. Like roaches,they're coming out of the woodwork lately

what's that smell?

[lapauvre]

34. This is why I am persona non grata

to my family. This post must be the result of the absolutely insulting and yahoo attitude of the yahoos (yahooes?) about the French.

I am one half Cajun. I read history and watch the History Channel.If it were not for the French during our revolution, America might not exist.

And to see a bunch of middle aged juvenile delinquents, otherwise known as "yahoos (yahooes?)" dumping French wine and renaming French fries, cuffs and toast (they are too clean and pure to mention "kissing.) was most offensive to me, since France was not the only nation to say NO.

I resent Francophobes as much as I resent homophobes and and all the other phobes that seem to be so popular. Like demophobes. Dissenterphobes, free speechphobes, and give us back Americaphobes.

If you would like to see what I posted and the news max source that sent it out, just ask me.

Be aware, I am usually a most congenial, understanding, accepting, tolerant human being. But, when push comes to shove, I can be absolutely merciless.

Francophobes, beware.

[Norquist Nemesis]

35. Is he gone yet? n/t

[markses]

36. Point being?

I never understand the point of these things.

So, the French state apparatus is violent? There's a big surprise. Is this supposed to excuse the outright torture and murder committed by American troops - apparently as part of a systematic operation - in our own colonial territories (that is, Iraq)?

What's the point, A-Monkey?

This is the typical problem of people who are too intellectually stunted to see the world with any nuance. That's why the gullible and ignorant right wingers love the imbecile imposter "President." He too sees everything in black and white, masking this essential stupidity and childishness with a pretentious appeal to morality, making a virtue of necessity in Shaw's sense. The French state apparatus can be wrong in certain circumstances, and in fact are wrong and even despicable. The French state apparatus can be right in other circumstances, and even take a moral line - even (gasp!) more moral than the murderous Bushites and their ignorant supporters in the apocalyptical conservative movement. Ditto for the American state apparatus. Nuance, A-Monkey. Complexity. Adulthood. Welcome.

This boycott has been promoted by NewsMax's and has been frequently mentioned by Bill O'Reilly on the O'Reilly Factor.

44. Who are we to criticize other countries?

The French have done far more good in Africa than America. Sure as hell more than the United States. Ask the South Africans.
