Mike Rochip Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Interesting and humorous (imho) article: Yahoo News Sidebar: I wasn't sure if "legalise" was proper spelling so I right-clicked "define" in my context menu. I thought the definition that popped up was like far out, Dude! I heard dictionaries are never wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted December 23, 2005 Moderators Share Posted December 23, 2005 Couldnt care less as I dont live in france but what extension are you using for the define context menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rochip Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 Do I detect some Frenchophobic hostility in your reply? How do you know I don't live in France? Maybe I'm a Frenchman with a Mac using Internet Explorer with Norton AntiVirus that never defragments any of my hard drives! Would you like FREEDOM fries with that?!

Moderators rridgely Posted December 23, 2005 Moderators Share Posted December 23, 2005 ha, no I dont hate the french. I really just dont care if they are allowed to steal files. Now if their law influenced ours then maybe... Your post made me smile though. Thanks for the links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rochip Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 No problem I doubt that the EU would allow France to do it anyway. I was looking for info on the EU and found an article entitled: More Sucking Sounds at Sony I can't stop laughing long enough to read the article.

Eldmannen Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 France sucks, its not as simple as their legalising file sharing. There is a proposal to allow it, but then everybody in the country will have to pay taxes even if they share files which sucks for all old people who dont use computers. France has also had proposals to make free software illegal. France sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted December 24, 2005 Moderators Share Posted December 24, 2005 France has also had proposals to make free software illegal. 25015[/snapback] That in itself is just plain retarded! If such a thing were to pass what I would do is have whomever passes such a proposal tested for drugs, they'd also be subjected to an I.Q. test to find out just how damned stupid they really are. Then publically give the results; "they were high" and "they're stupid," I have the test results right here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although not eliminating free software directly, it would accomplish this by making it impossible to use free apps in conjunction with paid ones, for instance OpenOffice would be prevented from working with any of MS's applications. I don't know which is worse, stupidity or greed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishmen Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I'm not from France but you guys says France sucks and they are strange but anything that is different from you and from where you live will always be strange it does not mean they suck. There culture is different so they are going to have different views on things then you do. There are some strange things about America i thing are kind of weird, s*** there are things about my county i think are strange im not going to go around dissing America of my own country just because there is something i don't understand about it.

Mike Rochip Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 I agree with englishmen, we should be respectful. Besides, the Statue of Liberty has to be one of the coolest gifts ever. And the Revolutionary War wasn't working out real well for the US until France lent us a hand. That being said I did find this on the CNN website regarding the bizarro Winter weather attacking Europe lately: "In northern France hundreds of motorists were forced to spend Wednesday night in community centers and hotels near Nancy as road crews battled to clear snow from the roads." So in fact at least some of them are indeed Nancy boys . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobrakommander56 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 welll, I guess everything like the French will grow on us, cause they gave us the statue of liberty but it wasnt cool till it oxidized and turned green, can you imagine the statue still being a healthy bronze brown.

Mike Rochip Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 welll, I guess everything like the French will grow on us, cause they gave us the statue of liberty but it wasnt cool till it oxidized and turned green, can you imagine the statue still being a healthy bronze brown. 25688[/snapback] Real nice. You think the French will grow on us? Like a mole or a fungus perhaps? I know you're trying to be nice but apparently your subconcious dislike of France is still showing. I bet you think the Statue of Liberty turned green with envy seeing how much better the USA is compared to France! A health bronze brown?! I suppose pasty white French people aren't healthy. I'm kind of pasty white and I'm healthy! Physically. Besides, the Statue of Liberty is made of copper. So it's only a matter of time before some crackpot steals it and tries to sell it for scrap metal. Impossible you say? Hardly. Just ask Baltimore, Maryland. There is only one good reason to hate the French and that's because they tricked us into thinking Puegots were cars and we foolishly bought some of them.
