    Question


    Im not contesting my comments but whats the diffrence between calling a french person a frog and me calling you a cracker. I know I was fighting ignorance with ignorance, thats what made it funny.

    I dont hear you telling anyone to stop the french bashing. Sportsman is right its getting ridiculas. Stop being racist.

    Re: Question

    The french are not a race they are a culture and a country that happens to be very eccentric. They are more worried about the misuse of their language than anything else.

    There is a big difference between saying we(The US) should have let the French speak German(and without "us" they would be) and calling someone a cracker. Any other racial term and you prob would have been banned.. I am being nice b/c its Christmas. However, I see no difference in using white racial slang and racial slang of another ethnic group. They are both wrong here at OS.

    I also did not see the frog part - maybe I will go back and look at it.

                Re: Question

                Alright fair enough thanks for the reply BDunn. I know its not a race but calling someone a frog isnt like calling you a yankee or me a canuck. It has slanderous meaning and I dont give a [censored you naughty boy] if anyone here doesnt like french people stop talking about it. Stop eating french toast and fries and go and throw darts at your Chirac picture or something. I have french family and take offence to it.

                If I was constantly calling you a dumb hick and saying america is a bunch of gun toting ******s and attacking your culture (im not doing that now by the way) you would take offence to it, my threads would be locked and a ban would be quick to follow. I dont see the diffrence between that and the ignorant people who post [censored you naughty boy] about the french here.

                      Re: Question

                      Lighten up, even the fine folks who run Google mock the French.



                      Like Bdunn said their is a vast difference between poking fun at a country and racial slurs and comments.




                      Oh and for Bdunn the reason people refer to French people as "Frogs"

                      American soldiers adopted the nickname for the French during the World War II because they ate frog legs and hid well when camouflaged.

                      Not exactly the most offensive thing I can think of when refering to the French.
