Hey, I clicked on NZ. It was interesting. I didn't know we'd hit the 4 million population mark. Yes, people, that's TOTAL population. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

4 million total population?
Wow, had no idea. So, it's you and only 3,999,999 other souls?
Seriously, I find a lot of desirable charm in that. Atlanta has almost five million people and believe me it is too many. We have people moving here from the north and west of this country and apparently every other country in the world. And they all own cars and park them on one of our busy roads.
Geez, if I didn't have kids, I think I might move to NZ.

Are you aware that France has never had a military victory in its existence? They have had a few ties possibly but no victories.
We had to save them twice.
Google "French military victories" and click I feel lucky punk link. Read all about it. I heard that on Neal Boortz radio program just the other day. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Last I checked, it was rather hard to get in. About 20 years ago I talked to Carl S. about where in the world would be the safest, if we decided to blow ourselves off the face of the earth. He said New Zealand.
But they don't take every Tom, [censored] and Harry.

lol. Well, as a fellow Libertarian, Neal would know. It is funny when you think about it. France has a long history and yet not one military victory. No wonder the US had to "save" them.

Hey b,
California is great. No slouch there.
So NZ is picky eh? Guess they don't take Aussies then. Let's see if that brings the BigK out of hiding....

Mexico anual PPP is placed behind Bostwana? I think I'm going back to sleep. NZ population is 1/6% of Mexico city inhabitants. Now I really need to sleep. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Tod, do you know why of all US cities Elton John has an appartment in Atlanta? Where did you live before?

Atlanta is filling up because people have heard that it is the coke capital of the world. Unfortunately they don't realize that it is Coke rather than coke until it is too late. By then the roads are so jammed they can't leave.

At the risk of being UTTERLY bashed and probably banned from this thread...
It seems an Americans disdain for the French usually comes from America’s own national arrogance. They don’t like it when someone in the world doesn’t do what they want or doesn’t agree with them. After all, since birth they have been surrounded with propaganda about America being ‘the best'
I was, personally, quite pleased that at least ONE nation (be it France or any other I dont care) in the world didnt want to go to war--as if the MILITARY is a solution to all international political problems!

On the other hand the French always seem to be underground or setting up their own Government while "occupied" while America, UK and Aussies try to liberate them.

Tod, do you know why of all US cities Elton John has an appartment in Atlanta? Atlanta has a very large gay population; I would guess that has something to do with it. Newspaper reports claim that he likes it here because he can drive. Other than that, he is like 2 million other folks who have moved in during the last twenty years. Will the last person to leave Boston please turn off the lights? It will help withi Global Warming. I have always been in Atlanta. I did live in the People's Republic of Massachussets for two years.

Americans represent more or less 5% of the World's population. All countries are arrogant. The difference between the French and the rest of the world is that they have nothing to be arrogant about.
I blame it all on the guy who invented the umbrella. If he hadn't done that, all the French would have drowned the first time it rained.
And let's not forget that Germany was very much opposed to the war but nobody here is bashing them.

Neville Chamberlain, is that you? You want to appease the world still? Do you see where that approach got you seventy years ago?
Actually, America's disdain for the French is based on the sheer arrogance of the French. It is the world's political prostitute and will do anything to further itw well deserved reputation of cowardice.
BTW, war is an underappreciated and misunderstood part of life.
I don't know Pio, it's your thread. Do you want to ban ahuman?
