I think you should go back and retake US History 101 JK. Yes the French helped us out but only by showing the Fleet. They only did it, reluctantly, after a late US victory against the British in South Carolina. And even then they did it for purely selfish reasons. They did it in hopes it would get the British off there own backs.<br /><br />The ones that really helped us were the Dutch. They supplied the money that the US desperately needed. The Dutch are still our adoring friends and have never stabbed us in the back like the Frogs have.Originally posted by J.kopec:<br /> Everyone seems to forget that France helped us out BIG TIME during our own Revolutionary War
JB, somewhere in the back of your otherwise conservative mind you just love to denigrate Americans. Well I say, according the the dictionary definition, we are not 'arrogant'!<br /><br />"adj : having or showing feelings of UNWARRENTED importance out of overbearing pride; "an arrogant official"; "arrogant claims"; "chesty as a peacock"Originally posted by JB:<br /> <br />.... even more arrogant~~~~~~~than we are about being American.

I'm sure they are. The French authorities won't let them wear veils for their drivers licence photos. <br /><br />Seriously, I don't understand how they can be being oppressed. I'm sure that they get the same welfare as all of the rest of the French get. And as we all know they are ample. <br /><br />If poverty be the root cause there is still no excuse. The muslims have flooded france because of its association with Morocco, Algiers etc etc.<br /><br />They come from poverty to a country of better opportunity, then bring and demand acceptance of all of their ideas and culture that kept them in poverty in their native land. <br /><br />Then the hosts let them come in such numbers that they can't be assimilated into the host culture. Add to that, with today's penchant to 'honor diversity', the host pampers and caters to the new immigrants without demanding that they conform to the country that they have come to. I've got no sympathy for the hosts that have let this happen.Originally posted by gspig:<br /> The muslim population is rioting. They are being unfairly repressed. (sound like a minority group in the US?)
