this maybe a little after the event, but I'm sensing a bit of an anti french vibe in some of the threads. so i thought why not bring it out into the open.

so this is here to voice your opinions about the french, good or bad.

to get you started here's a few reasons why i don't like the french;

they create rules and don't abide by them
they are the only 'civilised' country where the mob still rules. the government can't do anything without risking a strike by someone, and when they do strike the block the ports so that mucks every1 esles lives up.

of course these are broad generalisations (thats a mighty long word hope i spelt it right) and they don't aplly to all french people. they shouldn't really even apply to the people. its just the mentality of the country that gets me.

I can't stand the french because they give the impression that they think they are so much smarter and better than everyone else, they think there food is better, there drink there cars there cities, there football teams the list is endless. Another thing is that they are trying to conquer Europe by using the EU by getting everyone to have the same currency, language and i even heard (not sure how true this is) that they want to have a single armed force to represent all of the EU all of this of course would be run by the french because they are so much better than the rest of europe, personnally i think the Nazi's where more honest than the french are.

Oh and before anyone says this, I'm not racist I hate everyone!
 
Just a suggestion: but there might be French posters on this website but anyway it's better not to specifically target a particular race or nationality.

personnally i think the Nazi's where more honest than the french are.

It depends on how you define "honesty"


they create rules and don't abide by them

Unfortunetly, that's not limited to one country or one individual.

Thread 'Predictions for the Nobel Prize in Physics 2025'

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
