Echo of the past
Friday, January 24, 2003 by johnct | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
The first world war as started because of a problem in the former Yugoslavia (not going into detail) then countries formed alliances, with those who they were friendly with, suddenly it wasn’t just about Yugoslavia it was a war of treaties, Germany, Austria, on one side and France and Russia on the other, only when Belgium was invaded, then Great Britain joined he war. A little vague but that’s not the point.
The world seems very much divided about the whole Iraq issue, only Britain and Americana for action, others like France, Germany Russia, and China against.
Personally I don’t give a fuck what the French say, being British I don’t give a fuck about them, the Germans surprise me, but I think they are just trying to tack over Europe with the French, it’s a good job the UK has only got one foot in Europe as they seem only in it for themselves . I think is behaviour that goes back two the Empire day’s where Great Britain own most of the world, and France and Germany still have a problem about that. (Should have fought better)
Any way I’m going off on one, basically I’m just worried that different alliances will be formed resulting in a tired world war.
Just one other thing if you French have another problem that you feel you have to strike or make some protest, DON’T BLOCK OUR PORTS, IT’S YOUR PROBLEM NOT OUR’S, if I was Prime Minister you would have the British fleet sent to your coast and deal with your blockades. Europe should be standing with its allies not with the enemy; I’m starting to lose confidence in Europe!
Sorry but those countries piss me off >

johnct: shut up with your anti-french attitude!
The French/British wars have been over for more than a century, so wake up. Since then France and Britain have been allied in every war.
Gosh! I'm not French, I'm Canadian, but your attitude is comparable to the Anti-American posts that understandably offended Frogboy (and others).
(and BTW if you want to travel back in history when England controled the World, travel a bit back more, to when France conquered England -- which is actually officially the start of the never ending war the 2 countries always fought until the avent of the 20th century)

i'm starting to think that you have to live in a particular country for a while to even have a prayer of understanding their take on life and the world. judging by the message board over the past two months, i suspect that we've got a lot of compadres here that have never lived for an extended time outside of their home country.

Europe is changing and the old Europe where France and Germany were dominant players is fading into the past. Who'd figure the Brits and the Colonies
