right, but having soldiers die for their leader's cause (whether just or unjust) is better than resolving a conflict nonviolently. because fighting means you're tough and cool.

Wow. Where is the collective sense of humor around here lately? I post quite possibly the best example of how NOT to act and it leads to this? I mean, sure I said the French were gay, but I was referencing Jean-Claude Van Damme people. He is so gay. Don't construe the generalization too much here. It was a joke--I wasn't trying to set off a chain reaction of French bashing. Sheesh!
Don't forget, the French also gave us the touching story about a lonely boy who uses a butterly net to catch comets so he can fly across the galaxy to the desert so he can commit suicide...they're totally hard-core.

But anyway, while we are bashing the French (France is actually one of my favouritest countries and the French people I have met are cool but there is just something about them - smuggness and arrogance - that gets right on my tits)
Anyway...here's the new French national anthem, inspired by one of France's all time national heroes...
