Go to some coffee shop or something, sit down with your sophisticated friends, laugh at the ignorant americans (it's more sardonically satisfying if you are one yourself) and their small mindedness, and bask in your continentalism. I mean, in all reality, you're probably so open minded that we can't be nearly as open minded as you so you don't have to listen to anyone else's opinion. Now please move on so I can hear some good jokes. Go hang out in a french forum where you can bash America...si tu parle francais. Lighten up.

Last time I checked, I'm not "bashing America".
I don't feel superior to americans, almost all of my friends are americans. My gilfriend is american. I dont see your point. I don't find the jokes very funny, and yes, I do find them a little offensive. Well you see the thing is....I searched for a while for a place on the net where people can tolerate other people from other cultures without calling them pussies. And the tfp is that place...So yes I do think these jokes are offensive..
"Go hang out in a french forum where you can bash America" ???
I have better things to do...I don't know about french forums where people waste their time discussing the stereotyped flaws of americans. Although there might be some of those forums, I have no intention of finding one...
As I said before, the reason I like to talk in this forum is the open mindedness of it... And your allusions to "coffee shop", "sophisticated" and all of that gives the exact stereotype of a french person, and reflects your closed mindedness...
And I have yet to encounter a frenchman that goes to his "cafe" in the afternoon smoking his "Gitanes" cigarettes while philosophing about the stupidity of the actions of other people's govts...My french friends like to fuck around just like americans, or any other men of other nationalities
Your comment is even more offensive. I don't think I'm superior in any way. I'm a noob to this forum, just happy to be here...
But just because this is the comedy section doesn't mean you can bash and insult the shit out of a culture. I'd prefer you actually go in front of the embassy and burn their flag, at least you'd be saying loud and clear "I hate the french"
Whatever, dude.
