Well...we´ve got lot of luck in this game... don't be so fair play, it's football goddamnit

don't forget to post the results here

Exactly my thoughts . I don't really care who wins it, but it gives this summer feeling sitting on the couch with a beer after a swim, watching people cycle thrue the beautifull french landscape. Yeah, and you get to discover new places ... and people must admit that France is one of the nicest countries in the world

Ditto. I don't really understand the attraction to the sport. Especially not when there's a football turnament. I watch the tour just because of the landscape and the folklore personally

the second one would be more paying I think (it could get you a better grade since it would involve a bit more resaerch but is still vast enough to be treated correctly, not too vast to be treated completely and would trigger a bit less of a monster debate than the Iraq war. Plus, the invasion of France happened 65 years or so back, this means you could find a lot of documents and essays concerning the subject)

WTF..LOL OR how France could of beat Germany in the BOF. Edit: now it is time to hear the other people's info speech...this should be good.... yeah, why not ? WE COULD HAVE WASTED THE GODDAMNED KRAUTS !!!! Unfortunately our military leaders and politicians were seating on their thumbs

What the... It's a puppet for a comical news show on the 4th French Channel Canal +

Ohh a 1st REC horseman ? hehe ... UNPROFOR was a bitch, we all came back from it in the same psychological shape (except mbe the cooks and post-office eploees). Don't ask him about it, t wil ome natraly nd one day he may become abit more talkative on the subject as time heals wounds. being the first one who got the balls to grab an emety FAMAS to make a bayonet run inorder to save some 2nd REP guys since the first gulf war in the Foreign Legion history, i wish you are right. It was only 4 years after the Gulf war. I hope he got a National Merit medal for what he did, I got mines for what i've been able to accomplish. But I doubt what has marked the most your friend about his tour in Bosnia was his firefights and other engagements. (if it's the same as what I and all my buddies and fellow legionnaire who made it back with whom i'm still in contact feel).

Heh, been there done that (heh not completely hopefully) If it hadn't been for a US veto, UNAMIR could have been a real success and its effectives reinforced preventing the slaughter of more than 800,000 human beings like me and you (although I have some doubts about you)

hmm ... What can I say ? I'm totally speechless ... Do you happen to be somekind of intelligent lifeform or some kind of dung-bettle piling up huge ammounts of bullshit to then feed yourself with ? And it's spellt Rwanda you tard. Rude and ignorant people call for rude and rough answers since wasting time trying to stuff some good sense inot them would be useless. Now just go away if you have nothing better to contribute to the discussion other than false, retarded and ridiculous statements and assumptions. Now get a grip of what real life is, get out and socialize a bit. Come back only when your teenage crisis will be done and just a past memory.

Haha, BLUE tigerstripe. That's hilarious, they look like the Russians from...Rambo II. the "blue" tigerstripe the USAF is going to use strongly reminds me of the S.T.U. one of their representative salesman proposed to me and a whole lot of other people i know hehe Swat Tactical Uniform

Interesting, I was the one who turned it in to a simple political game by saying "Call France...America is busy.....". It seems only denoir got it because he reply France is busy too. Yes we are busy.

because it's not well paid enough

Massive "sound and light" recruiting ad, making people on the side of the victims want to retaliate (and do so), rising even more concerns and arousing wicked and brainwahsed minds. They didn't gain any strategic advantage, but hitted strategical targets and reached their goals, i.e. make American people as a whole doubt and fear. Because it's like that, it's all about hatred and fear.

It seems I made somebody crap their pants. This is coming from somebody who made a 9/11 joke..... EDIT: Losing your cool over call France is........ If you knew me you would know why I am losing my temper, I've stuck my nose in the human mud (made of people's distress, ethnical hate, horrifying poverty, growing pademias, illeducation and putrifying bodies, no racial insinuations there) Africa is. I will not tolerate somebody who has never crossed the line which separates his warm living room from the rotting heat of such a shithole to say anything like that. I've served under my country's flag and done my share which often consisted in the sighting rotten human limbs laying accross a fucking road or unidentified bodies waiting in a mass grave as a result of human idiocy and hipocrisy and helplessness from our side. Reducing this goddamned mess as a simple political game is lame, plain lame. I could type even more, but you're not worth it and I don't feel like wasting my time today.

Well, i think I should get a bit deeper in my statement (i have to admit it will be a bit hard, it's 1.44AM here). Terrorism as generally described in most dictionnaries takes its roots back at the dawn of mankind, as soon as a form of authority and inequalities appeared on the surface of our Planet. Of all times, we've seen waves of terrorism aimed at an authority, a cult or whatever that is of some kind of importance and a pillar of the society and ideals which are put in question by the doctrine which is at the origin of the said terrorism. In the past few years we've seen some kind of mutation of the terrorism. From the actions of a group of individuals, we've progressively moved onto well organised and well financed worldwide networks. Terrorism in the past decades has been used as a tool of destabilisation and demoralisation (during the cold war for exemple .... Action Directe, Baader Meinhoff, Ira anyone ?) which without offering a direct confrontation between both sides, between both models of society, has put in doubt the adversary's way of living and thinking. These phenomenons were somewhat localized to some geographical zones, but with the globalisation of the information leading to the globalisation of the economy, terrorism evoluted into some kind of international corporation in which all the cells, movements and such are linked in a way or another (by their ideals but also by the criminal networks financing them). Terrorism became (or is becoming right now) the tool of leaders who use the ideals, fears and more genrally feelings of the masses to reach their personnal goals more than the ideals and dogmas which the ideal societyof those fighting for them would be based onto. It's exactly the same thing as the totalitarism present in the past century except that it's now hitting worldwide and with reasonnably less strenght than an open armed conflict. In my opinion, terrorism is to be considered as a new kind of warfare or manifestations of war since it isn't completely baseless and its actors have certain interests to defend and opinions to voice. The world reached some kind of Status Quo ten years ago, with only local ethnical conflicts remaining and the only way to fight is to create a new enemy and that's what spiritual leaders are for in terrorist organisations. I think that Terrorism is the result of an opposition between "North and South" which can't result into an open armed conflict. That is why it takes the form of what we call terrorism. I hope it was relatively clear and that there weren't too much mistakes hehe.

New form of warfare for the poor hopeless manipulated masses.

may I ask you something ? Could you please keep your wise ass comments down your throat so they never leave it ..... well, we're on a web forum which means written communication form, so I guess "could you prevent your fingers from hitting the keys allowing you to write such bullshit statements ? Unfortunately we aren't speaking to each other from face to face or else i would have taught you somme rudiments in good sense and good manners too. I'm am trying to keep cool and stay polite, but it's quite hard.

I now sincerly hope the Croats will smash the roastbeeves ;)

Ahhh the Philadelphia experiment.........
