Yes, hilarious.

I just heard a segment on the riots in France called "France Fries!" Hehehe!

Gee, I dunno Eut, would it be okay then for us to make fun of 9/11 or the LA riots? Seems a little distasteful to me. Say what you want about me disliking Bush, but I have never made fun of natural or unnatural disasters that have taken place in America. Food for thought dude.

That's what I was thinking...

For fuck's sake. You don't like France: WE GET THE FUCKING PICTURE. There's no need to gloat over what's happening now in this way. (The 'way', as ever, being repost-meaningless acronym-submit.) Maybe it's being overhyped; maybe French politicians have made mistakes; maybe all French people are anti-American heathens who deserve to burn. Turning it into a rofl waffle moment is still unnecessary, regardless. It is an insult to those who, presumably, are pretty scared of what's going on right now, no matter how justified that belief, to once again regurgitate this sort of crap in the vague and completely mistaken belief that blanket racial generalisations constitute astute political commentary. Unless this comprises some subtle observation on the context of the riots that I've missed, I fail to see how it is anything other than ghoulish rubbernecking.

hehe funny joke...

and to all you who say it's distasteful, i bet you lot were the first to spread the "bush didn't know whther to choose roe vs. wade to get out" joke when new orleans flooded.... it's a joke, get over it...

...Maybe it's being overhyped; maybe French politicians have made mistakes; maybe all French people are anti-American heathens who deserve to burn...

How could you forget cultural bigotry and xenophobia? You reap what you sow and all that...

hehe funny joke...

I didn't.

Jokes are generally funny. And I haven't heard the one about NO. Mind you, at the time, I was too busy, y'know, not rejoicing in human suffering, so I can see how I might have missed it.

... There's no need to gloat over what's happening now in this way.Even If I find it distasteful to gloat about Disasters (KatrinaGate, LA riots, the election of a Chimp to the white house, etc)...

I do think it is part of Eutrusca Free speech rights...

I don't understand. Could you clarify what you meant? Who are you accusing of bigotry? Me? Eut? 'The French'?

France Fries

<groan>

I call it trolling. You may call it what you wish.

Telling someone to shut up is not an oppression of their freedom of speech. Making them do so, ah, fine. I completely agree, he has the right to say what he wants. That doesn't mean he should and, of course, it also grants me the right to express my displeasure at it. Which, I believe, I just did.

You are annoying me greatly. This is a double thread. I'm getting sick of the fact that you troll so much.

I just heard a segment on the riots in France called "France Fries!" Hehehe!

Not funny Eut. :(

How about a few jokes about dead GI's in Iraq or maybe Vietnam? :(

(P.S. Please don't reply with any jokes about the above. Show you are above that.)

I don't understand. Could you clarify what you meant? Who are you accusing of bigotry? Me? Eut? 'The French'?

The French.

How about everyone just relax? Granted the joke was NOT funny. But threatening with more bad jokes will not make it better. So why not just be exasperated and not stoop their childish level, when they pick at those who suffer?

too bad I do no know any..

The French.

Right. So you're accusing an entire national population of bigotry.

Sure! They're clearly the ones with a xenophobia problem!

Take a chill pill everyone. not that big a deal.

I thought of a good reply, but I think everyone would hate me, and I'd get banned, so never mind.

I just heard a segment on the riots in France called "France Fries!" Hehehe!
"Freedom Fries", surely?

Tastless.

*sigh*
*whispers* The whole thing started when two kids were electrocuted.

Too soon.

I knew that. I just enjoy mocking Americans by bringing up this Freedom Fries nonsense.

hehe funny joke...

Never heard that one before...

Something along the lines of, "You can tell the character of a man by which jokes he refuses to laugh at"?

Perhaps it's relevant here.

:cool: I... I ..knew that... I was... using.. eh.. double sarcasm.. yeah, thats it.. double sarcasm....

*walks away with whats left of dignity*

I suppose, if Free Speech Rights existed on the forums. Which they don't, given it's someone else's site. Frankly, I find gloating about human suffering distasteful and a disgusting show of a decided lack of basic decency. No matter who's on the recieving end of it.

But hey. Don't let something like that stop you showing everyone just how much character you have. Or lack, depending on individual interpretation. :)

Well, I thought it was funny, but I'm sure few are surprised.
Which brings me to my favorite saying. "Fuck'em if they can't take a joke" :D

But I can understand why Europeans would get angry . It's kinda like were picking on your ugly sister, no?

But I can understand why Europeans would get angry . It's kinda like were picking on your ugly sister, no?

No. Its picking on dead people.

Will it be much of a surprise to anyone if the same people who laugh and get off on French Fries and Paris is Burning jokes turn out to be the same ones who get all vitriolic and indignant when someone cracks a Jewish Pizza or Jewish Car joke?

I can understand why Europeans would get angry . It's kinda like were picking on your ugly sister, no?its not nice picking on ugly girls"Fuck'em if they can't take a joke" :Dcan you take 911 jokes ?

You reap what you sow and all that...

Dear, that's called KARMA.

I just heard a segment on the riots in France called "France Fries!" Hehehe!
When will people learn? They're not France Fries, they're not Freedom Fries, they're Chips. 'French Fries' is also acceptable. But not the first two.

That guy on Fox whose name I don't remember right now (I'm from Europe)?

Almost an edit: O'reilly?
Right network anyway: Fox News. :D

That's what I was thinking...
Don't git yer panties in a wad. I was referring to the phrase, not the problem. Get a grip. :p

I should point out I find dead baby jokes funny. It is not simply not having a sense of humour, or being all pro-France (I mean, we fought them for 100 years, screw renaming fried potato products): it's that the joke wasn't funny, and was just unnecessary gloating from someone who is unable to take any similar criticism of his country.

For fuck's sake. You don't like France: WE GET THE FUCKING PICTURE. There's no need to gloat over what's happening now in this way.
"Gloating?" Exactly how was my amusement at that turn of phrase in any way "gloating," pray tell?

Um...Paris is burning, you are laughing?

Thats it..... I'm outta here.
Enjoy your death trap ladies

*shuts door*

I call it trolling. You may call it what you wish.
You call virtually everything I post "trolling." ( shrug ) So sue me. :p

You are annoying me greatly. This is a double thread. I'm getting sick of the fact that you troll so much.
If you're so upset about it, report me to the Mods and let them decide. ( shrug )

If you think that's funny, I bet you think this (http://www.dailypundit.com/graphics/wtc-impact.gif) is hilarious.

Isn't that just a picture of the Twin Towers? How is that meant to be a joke?

its not nice picking on ugly girlscan you take 911 jokes ?
I sure can. They are JOKES, a common way for people to get through life without blowing their heads of from pure depression. Do I laugh? Yes Do I crack jokes myself? Yes If I were there, would I be helping? Yes

BTW, Do you know why they are remodeling New York? Two plane.

Ya see, here in "The land of the great satan" , we choose to laugh at things beyond our control, so we don't turn into bitter Europeans.

Isn't that just a picture of the Twin Towers? How is that meant to be a joke?
Yes, same joke as France fries.

Isn't that just a picture of the Twin Towers? How is that meant to be a joke?

It's not. But some people would laugh.

Something along the lines of, "You can tell the character of a man by which jokes he refuses to laugh at"?

Perhaps it's relevant here.
Then again, perhaps not. :p

Ah. he's the sort who finds the joke about the last thing to go through the stockbroker's mind on a bright autumn morning in 2001 offensive, then?

Can you say "major over-reaction" boys and girls? Jeeze. Get a grip!

Yes, same joke as France fries.

No...posting a picture of Paris burning would be the same as your picture. This is at least a play on words. Which. Isn't. Funny. Sick jokes have to be funny.

its not nice picking on ugly girlscan you take 911 jokes ?
Those of us who have been on here for awhile didn't have any choice. We either had to take the 9/11 jokes or be banned.

I just heard a segment on the riots in France called "France Fries!" Hehehe!

I'm saddened and disappointed that you find riots funny.

If they were occuring here in the US, you'd throw a shit fit about them.

You call virtually everything I post "trolling." ( shrug ) So sue me. :p
I think you're both trolls, so put that in your fife and smoke it!

So say you. In actuality, if I hadn't been able to take criticism of America, I would have left this board and its anti-Americanism long, long ago. So sorry to dissappoint you, Gruenberg, but I'm not leaving. :p

No we wouldn't. We didn't throw a shit fit when they rioted in Ohio because of the Nazis. We simply quelled the rioters, and ended the riot..

I sure can. They are JOKES, a common way for people to get through life without blowing their heads of from pure depression. Do I laugh? Yes Do I crack jokes myself? Yes If I were there, would I be helping? Yes

Ya see, here in "The land of the great satan" , we choose to laugh at things beyond our control, so we don't turn into bitter Europeans.If you laugh at 911 jokes..then I guess you are free to laugh at the French disasters too...

What can I say...you are better than me...in that way.

Um...Paris is burning, you are laughing?
I was laughing at the turn of phrase, not the fact that there are riots in France. There IS a difference you know.

Can you say "major over-reaction" boys and girls? Jeeze. Get a grip!


Can you say 'needs to grow up'? Maturity. Get some. Lord knows if you're truthful about who you are, you're old enough to both know better, and act better than we usually see you do.

I've got a firm grip on reality, and what isn't funny in this regard. Get one of your own. *smiles and pats the 'old man' on the head*

No...posting a picture of Paris burning would be the same as your picture. This is at least a play on words. Which. Isn't. Funny. Sick jokes have to be funny.
What picture of me?

*opens door... pokes head in..... sees shitstorm.... backs out and closes door*

If you think that's funny, I bet you think this (http://www.dailypundit.com/graphics/wtc-impact.gif) is hilarious.
You disappoint. I knew someone would do that just as soon as a handful of overly-sensitive trolls started whining about "France Fries." I just wouldn't have expected it to be you. :(

*opens door... pokes head in..... sees shitstorm.... backs out and closes door*

How is this contributing? (I appreciate our posts aren't contributing either.) Anyway, this is hardly 'a shitstorm'.

And I'm saddened and disappointed that a lawyer is unable to differentiate between mild humor at a play on words, and mocking a country because they're having riots.

Contributing to what?
This pointless flames riven and trollish thread? I'd rather not thanks. I already stated I wasn't having anything more to do with this petty crap...


...

wait...

...this constitutes contributing.....

...dammit!

I don't have problems with people making jokes about bad things, I just think this one wasn't very good.

Besides, wasn't there a whole thread with people defending their right to make Katarina jokes?

You disappoint. I knew someone would do that just as soon as a handful of overly-sensitive trolls started whining about "France Fries." I just wouldn't have expected it to be you. :(

Though I hate to apologise, I will make an exception. That really isn't the type of thing I'd normally do. Other than the obvious stupidity factor, I wonder why I did.

Can you say "condescending and patronizing," boys and girls? You mistake playfulness for immaturity, and certainly have no room to be critical of anyone in that department.

Wise man, you are. :)

No biggy. we all still love ya. Know why? Thick skin! ;)

Yes, but that was ok, since it was just the evil old Amercia again.

I didn't realise I had a reputation, let alone a good one I could spoil.

I just heard a segment on the riots in France called "France Fries!" Hehehe!

Absolutely horrible Eutrusca. Judging from your previous posts and opinions on France, this is of poor taste. iLock.

It isn't even a possible discussion. If you're going to start one, put a little more effort into it, rather than one sentence, and watch what you say. Personally, I don't think any 'joke' can be made out of it in the first place.
