"France: The Land of No". "USA. The Land of Yes!"

@Suzianne said
Yes, we owed it to the French to liberate them from under the thumb of the Third Reich because they pulled our fat out of the fire during our Revolution.

I like to think our just Revolution inspired France to rise up against their own monarchy.

Very well spoken. Unlike Average Joe, you appear to be one of the many intelligent, well-informed people in the USA. -

Ha, you won't even name your country. And what it is GOOD for!!! England? Scotland? Wales? Is Wales really rockiing, with 347 invention applications annually? Scotland has them beat at 500!!!!!
Name your country, don't hide it behind a hedgerow! Tell us its accomplishments. Compare it to the USA. Check out the French girl at minute 7:01 in the video, knocking France!!!!!

The name of the country is Great Britain.

Do you need an English primer?

EDIT: Actually, I believe Great Britain is just the name of the island.

The name of the country is the United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Northern Ireland).

Too many have already fallen under the brain-melting lure of MAGA.

It's kind of like a zombie apocalypse.

The same could be said about Russia's hosting in 2018
FIFA president Gianni Infantino stated: "Everyone discovered a beautiful country, a welcoming country, that is keen to show the world that everything that has been said before might not be true. A lot of preconceived ideas have been changed because people have seen the true nature of Russia." Infantino has proclaimed R ...[text shortened]... d out, there were 3 billion viewers on TV around the world and 7 million fans visited the fan fests.

Wow.

Of course this was before their unjust war on Ukraine.

You are kidding.....right ? (sue says right a lot)
Where does one begin,,,, entrepreneurship, innovation...i will put myself to sleep..
Russia files 20,000 invention applications per year, USA, 327,000! Russia is not free. It is an authoritarian state. Go sit in the back of the bus with Marauder, next to the guys in the white robes. They are playing friendly ches ...[text shortened]... in your house. Levis?
Pitiful. You teabags are just jealous of us. It is OK, we understand.

And yet you love Russia like they were your brothers.

Why didn't you have this opinion of them during Trump's first term?

Ohhh, yeah, something about buying an election...

According to findings recently published by the Pew Research Centre, a survey of individuals from 36 countries revealed that 57% of respondents had an unfavourable view of the United States and 37% a favourable one. The survey found that 50% of those polled believed the United States was no longer a reliable partner to other countries.

“The share of the public who ...[text shortened]... been bad for the United States, at least according to how the 36 nations polled view the situation.

I expect PRC to inevitably come into the sights of the Trump Administration, just like the SPLC did, for their reporting on Trump's unfavorability.

Heh this was probably spoken by a french tourist on one of his 30 minimum paid vacation days he is entitled to in France. he gorged himself on crappy (yet undoubtedly tasty) american food filled with corn syrup and he will go back to commie France and good healthcare before he gets diabeetus.

He didn't stay long enough to hear the no's the americans get on a daily basis. ...[text shortened]... ave? Can i get police that won't shoot me?


Nobody said idiots are exclusive to being americans.

While we don't have a corner on that market, we still do have the lion's share of them. 🙁

Hey, I've discovered AI!!!!


AI Overview
Great Britain is not a single country; it is a geographic island. However, it contains three distinct nations: England, Scotland, and Wales.

You definitely have us beat on bicycles, but I will take my time and write something very clearly to all of you so there is no question.

France is a beautiful country. The Alps normally Paris and the Riviera all or Class. No dispute, but I wasn't talking about scenery or cuisine. I was talking about what a nation or its people the United States has attracted more immig ...[text shortened]... there no are no opportunities. Pitiful. Now go hp in that vert and drive around your mountainsides.

Those 'opportunities' are only for a thin slice of Americans.

You know, those of inherited wealth, or those who don't happen to look like a majority of the world's population, i.e. white people.

According to you, the rest of America can just suck it.

So, in other words, you have a whole new world of opportunity to get stuff wrong.

Help.................

Free healthcare is the very least this country owes to its citizens.

Immigrant crime rates are less than citizen crime rates, by far.

Just a bit of truth for you (I know it's early in the AM).

Much more beneficial to the rest of us than your education in history would be if you started therapy. Immediately.

Sue says that pre-Healthcare is the very least this country owes to its citizens. Uhhhhh… I quite disagree. Healthcare is important, but that doesn’t mean it is something the government “owes” every citizen.
Rights are freedoms that require others not to interfere. such as freedom of speeech , religion, and due process. Free healthcare is different. Ittrequires doctors, hospitals, medicines, equipment, and taxpayers to provide it. Calling it a “right” means someone else must be compelled to pay for or provide it.( If you remember nothing from this post, remember that.)
I believe the government’s duty is to protect our liberty and create the conditions for opportunity. Next you will tell us something else that the government owes to us. You are so wrong. Hey, pick another, for fun. Why stop with Healthcare.?!?
Do you want a competitive market, Sue, or the government ? (Don’t answer that question !!) know there are the destitute, maybe 50 million people, which the government should totally take care of.
