French or German?

please lets all have trophies and jelly and ice cream.

let's

Well there's a trophy right there: Most anally retentive post of 2008 so far

Why is it when I use Jungian psychology in an actual debate, it gets ignored, but you get to insult me with corrupted freudo psychoanalyticism?

I R TEH IDIOTS!

That just wasn't funny. Come on, there's standards, here...

I mean. I paraphrased whatsisface in a genuinly funny way, you just come up with this puerile accusation that i'm an idiot, let's just pick up the pace, yeah?

Nah, not so much.


Hang on a minute... why are you cheering for France in this poll?

I'm an Ultra-Nationalist. Is that a crime? (well, under EU law, it probably is, but...)

It certainly is, at best, stupid, though.

*edit* I'm not really a Nationalist. Probably by your standards, but taking nationalism as an abstract doctrine, I'm not.

Then what are you? 8 minutes ago you were Ultra-Nationalist, now you've completely swaped to pseudo-Nationalist at best.

English would be handy.

Oh Germany all the way. Birds are better looking (on average), and people are a lot nicer. Plus it's so much more efficient.

[Napoleon Ier]

Oh Germany all the way. Birds are better looking

They're really not!

Sure, there's the odd nice Blonde. So what, we got plenty of those here, as well as a ton of other really nice meditterenean and celtic types. Also some arabs, but that's more unfortunate, and they're usually veiled.

A few months ago I was in France, I spent nearly a week there and I did not see ONE SINGLE FIT WOMAN. It pissed me off a lot. Spent 3 days in Germany last year, and there were plenty.

[Napoleon Ier]

You were where in France?

[johnnyrotten]

You were where in France?

Cherbourg.

Didn't see many when I went to Cholet a few years ago either.

[Napoleon Ier]

That's a shame...Cherbourg is pretty touristy, and in Normandy though...

back to the food, french pastries might be good but german pastries and cakes and the such are better. simple as that.

Just remember my Bavarian friend, Crossiants were originally Austrian and Anti-Islamic, celebrating an Austrian victory (or inspiring the victory, I forget which).

[Jenos Ridan]

France.

Food. Wine. A mediterranean coast. The best alps. Fresh bread every morning. A spoken language that doesn't sound like a rottweiler clearing its throat. Brittany. Godard. Le Tour. Foie gras (whether you like it or not, it says plenty about their attutude to food). Cantona. Armagnac. Serge Gainsbourg. Bardot.

And now for the most pointless point-by-point rebuttal I have ever posted:

The French Alps are overrated (even though I'll admit to have never been there); the Austrian, Swiss and Bavarian Alps (heck, even the Italian ones) are better.

Better how? Are they more fragrant? More use in a crisis? Pointier? I live in London, and the French alps are closer. That makes them the best. And you have never been.

From pictures that relatives of might took, more majestic.

About the closness part: I'd gladly do to Mountain Ski Resort on Rainer if I had the money, but Timberline on Hood is both closer and cheaper.

German is a more robust language, lacking all those annoying nausal sounds.

I would go for nasal over bronchial anytime. Especially if I was a-chattin' to a lady.

Besides, older war films only show Bavarian, a (last I was told by a good friend of mine, who would know given that is one of the things his is in college for) rustic dialect of German.

I didn't mention war films. I speak from experience of talking to actual germans and picking phlegm out of my mustache for days afterwards.

Funny, my friend speaks it fine and no phlegm to clean out of my goatee or hair.

Beck's beer, bratwurst and indeed many other German inventions are now samples of American culture (we are the melting pot, are we not?).

Pickled cabbage? Sausages? Come ON! german 'cuisine' makes england look like a culinary wonderland.

Even crappy American beers like Coors or Miller taste better than Champaign . If I were to be drinking wine (which I do sometimes), I stick to reds. Besides, Gremans have the Rhine and the vineyards thereof. And Bavarian is supposed to be world-renouned for it's high-quality beer (American-Brewed Samual Adams brand Light Beer won an annual competion which had no light beer catagory).

Somehow, I don't see Kidney Pies as the kind of thing that Americans bring to a Barbarque, hence the Brauts and Becks (don't get me wrong, Kidney pie and Sheppard's Pie aren't). Besides, I happen to like sauerkraut (especially on a Polish Sausage, ummm tasty). In fact, I need to pay the Rhinelander Restaurant in Portland another visit....next time I have some money to call in a reservation.

If I were traveling to Europe, Lufthannsa all the way!

Here, I concur. I hate Air France, with its supercilious air hostesses and their effortless sexual confidence. I flew long-haul in a Lufthansa plane once and it was brilliant. They didn't even feed us sauerkraut. These days however I am limited to easyjet, and then only with my maximum allowed carry-on guilt allowance.

France FTW! (I realise literally that is laughable, but still)

Mostly, I've been able, the few times I have flown anywhere, to fly with United Airlines and not on SouthWorst.

I'm sorry, I just read something about American beer being better than French Wine and champagne. Excuse while I curl in a ball and weep in the corner about humanty's eternal illness.

I was having a facetious discussion with Dancing thingy, if you can't appreciate when I make jocular remarks refrain from making irritating pedantic comments.

It wasn't funny, dipshit.

Neither was my comment, but at least I won't pretend it was.

[Napoleon Ier]

Dipshit. Ouch. Clean, cutting, simple.

[Snorri1234]

Yeah, I'm rather fond of the word myself.

Ignoring the facts that you both quoted the wrong post and failed to respond to the questions therin: You? Jocular? Impossible.
Anyway, the comment wasn't meant to be irritating. You failed quite effectively in understanding my explanation the first time, so I skipped a few steps and saved some time.
