(loved it) but I understood about 1 out of every 6 or so french words..Quebecois french is very different from French from France. It is a beautiful language, you must admit.<BR/><BR/>Interesting comment about staying out of the wars.Guess there is some cosmic connection between France and the French Canadians. They still looking to secede?Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692949516037191969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-38800657653912431952007-03-13T19:54:00.000-04:002007-03-13T19:54:00.000-04:00Yup I understood you but our French are little dif...Yup I understood you but our French are little different in attitude from the authentic ones. Heck they would have stayed out of WW I & WW II if they could have - in each we had a conscription (draft) crisis.Blazingcatfurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260488914265052543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-88348507802155892052007-03-12T23:26:00.000-04:002007-03-12T23:26:00.000-04:00Me too MUD...

I hope our congress does stand up and do the right thing!<BR/><BR/>BCF, I was thinking more in terms of the France, French... you know the Vichy surrender thing, and the cowardly Chirac. But there are some very good French people, mostly not from Paris, who are as conservative as we are. I have a sweet friend in the middle of small-town France who loves Bush and hates Chirac. what can I say. They really aren't all bad.Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692949516037191969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-78489228650920869072007-03-12T20:12:00.000-04:002007-03-12T20:12:00.000-04:00Ugh I am French Canadian by birth well 1/2 French,...Ugh I am French Canadian by birth well 1/2 French, 1/2 Irish - very common mix where I was born and I don't trust the French!

Now if we could count on our own congress to stand up and do the right thing. Oh well, gives me something else to be angry about. Almost beats that third cup of coffee. MUDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
