read your history. they were your allies in the WAR OF INDEPENDANCE, they helped you guys BEAT THE SHIT out of your british rulers.
In fact they were such good friends that in the late nineteenth century, to celebrate the bicenntenial of american independence they gave you a present, THE STATUE OF LIBERTY.
Your government wants you to hate france because they dont suck anyones dick, especially mr g w bush. they have been openly against the war in iraq, whilst other of their fellow european nations jumped straight on the bandwagon, and now they have been targetted by al qaeda.look what happened in madrid.
Another politically motivated reason is that france along with germany are the driving force behind european integration, most notably the euro, which will eventually replace the us dollar as the worlds most used currency.
but yeah i apologize for my tone but one thing i hate is ignorance.
ON TOPIC: religion is fine as long as they dont try to push it on people or use it as an excuse for political or military ends. IMO religion does have a place, but extremism of any kind is a menace to us all.
the onlt reason france didn't want war was because they were going to lose billions of their euros in iraq.so instead,they sold them a bunch of anti-tank missles a week before we started bombing baghdad.
and madrid showed what kind of heart they have.lol.and they are still being attacked.suckers.
wierd,we havent??
i would watch that euro stock market a little closer.
id watch ur economy more
lol who cares
I don't find any religion whatsoever "bullshit". I say this because human beings never no what the truth is behind them. When we die, no one knows where we are going, so why judge someone on their beliefe?
NO u were NEVER attacked, and u NEVER will be againQuote:

"Despite the euro's rise in value, as well as the value of other major and minor currencies, the US trade deficits continue to rise. Economic theory would suggest that a fall in the dollar and a rise in the euro should lead to an improvement in US exports and a decline in US imports, as the former becomes cheaper and the latter more expensive. However, this depends to some extent on how currency costs are passed down the supply chain. Furthermore, the declining dollar makes foreign investment in the US cheaper (although also reducing the return), so that continuing foreign investment may underpin the dollar to some extent.
The role of the dollar as the world's de facto reserve currency helps support both the dollar and the US budget deficit - but it depends on the continued willingness of foreigners to finance both. Central banks and others finance the budget by acquiring newly-issued, dollar-denominated US government bonds, which they need to acquire dollars for. If at some point foreigners become unwilling to accept new bonds at the prevailing interest rate (perhaps because the falling dollar is reducing the bonds' value too much), the dollar will fall even more - or the US will have to raise interest rates, which would reduce economic growth.
There is speculation that the strength of the euro relative to the dollar might encourage the use of the euro as an alternative reserve currency; Saddam Hussein's Iraq switched its currency reserves from dollars to euros in 2000. Moves by central banks with major reserve currency holdings such as those of India or China to switch some of their reserves from dollars to euros, or even of OPEC countries to switch the currency they trade in from dollars to euros, will further reinforce the dollar's decline. In 2004, the Bank for International Settlements reported the proportion of bank deposits held in euros rising to 20%, from 12% in 2001, and it is continuously rising. The falling dollar also raises returns for US investors from investing in foreign stocks, encouraging a switch which further depresses the dollar. [2] (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...ppingthedollar)
The rise in the euro should dampen Eurozone exports, but there is little sign of this happening yet. The main reason is that the currencies of Euroland's major world-wide customers are also seeing their currencies rise relative to the dollar. As the current account deficits continue to rise and the US plans no austerity measures to curb foreign imports and increase exports, the situation may cause the US dollar to lose its position as a hegemonic currency replaced by either the euro or the euro and a basket of currencies."
we shall overcome,as always.
It's natural to be agnostic or atheistic. As children, we find out that Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter bunny were ALL LIES. Why should we believe that god was any different ??
On the other hand, have you ever been in deep trouble or personal crisis ?? You get ever arrested, or have a good friend die ?? In these times you may need a higher power just to get over. It doesn't hurt to have a god around in those cases.
As far as religion, that's all created by man, and yes, it can be bullshit. Priests molesting boys, that's bullshit. Protestants at war with Catholics, Hitler killing Jews, all those Islamic terrorists. All that killing is bullshit.
The bottom line is that if you're a good person, and there is a god, it won't matter about religion. There will be a cool place for you. If there ain't no god, then we're all dead anyway, so religion doesn't matter either way.
yeah easters a good one, jesus christ rose from the dead so, naturally, a bunny rabbit goes around giving people chocolate eggs.
Well you wouldn't want little kids biting the heads off a chocolate Jesus now, would you?Quote:

You have the right to tell them your thoughts, but I would wait till you're not living in their house cuz things could get worst than they are. They might think you need Church real bad. They only believe that because that's what was told to them by people who seemed credible or theywant to believe that. That is what is killing the shit out of the human race." BELIEFS ". When I walk up to some one and say the Gov'ts behind 911 WTC attacks the first thing out of their mouth is I don't believe that or I Believe George Bush really cares but it;s those evil Liberals. Also conspiracy theory even though I'm not the one that believes in Aliens & Ufo's. These fuckin sheep haven't looked at the facts they only believe this or that. The word "Believe" needs to be erased from the fuckin Planet and if I was President I'd make it a death sentence to use the fucking word. Beliefs are not facts ! They are Beliefs yet people bases their whole life on the shit and young people are picking that shit up, The same way they learned to talk. Just spend one day and listen how many times these people will say in a day..... I believe this.... I believe that,etc. IT"S NOT FACTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No offense to you.
The shit you said made me laugh I respect your honesty, But their is a God. I'm not saying he's some guy with a long beard or anything else. We are nothing but stupid creatures. So we can't describe God like so many Cult leaders try do to. We don't have the intelgence. Just look at how some of these fools are getting Frankenstien type makeovers, stuffing Silicon in the Breast,etc. That is insane,but it's become normal just like being a cult member is normal. Not to mention the radioactive waste yet nobody's worried. There is a God or Creator because you didn't put yourself here. If so why are people in the shape they are in? Look at the laws of the universe how the planets don't slam into each other, Gravity,etc. It all works together.
Now why does life seem to be a living hell. With suffering, debt etc. I'll make this short. We are suffering under Debt because in america we have the Federal Reserve Bank, That is a Private bank not really federal. The name is ment to confuse you. The government borrows money from the Bank that's printed out of thin air plus the interest. Also the reason people suffer from debt is because the private bank known as the federal reserve controls the stock market. They make the market go up and down or crash.
Humans also suffer from accidents and deaths from there own greed and stupidty. Like chemicals in foods or air giving them Cancers. OR making dangerous 2 ton Vehicles,etc.
Now why would God let these things happen? Because he gave you free will. If he didn't you would be like a robot and wouldn't really be alive or feel alive.
If you want answers pray to God or Creator he will show you things. That doesn't mean you have to join any of these cults like your parents. That just means give thanks for having arms and legs and use them in ways that help the world, Thank him for having food to eat. Pray for others also.
Now about Cults ! All religious groups are cults some cult think they are not cults,but the only difference between a cult and a religion is the amount of follwers you have. If you only have 50 or 100 , or you go against the grain of the cults that control the masses for govt. then they like to call you a cult.
Another mistake people make is to think only religions contain cults. Not true ! Some people that are in Political Parties are cult members. It goes back to what I was saying earlier. People look at their fellow american and think that he is the enemy because he or she is a liberal or Conservative. They never can see the big picture that it's the federal reserve setting interest rate and through that controls employment , how much living will cost,etc. Just to keep you thinking of how you're going to pay the bills,because if these sheep ever have time to really think they might figure this out that there life doesn't have to be a living hell or be a slave which most of these cult members think they are free.
Also another aspect of a cult is television. If your reality is only what you have seen or been told by controled telvision you are under a form of mind control, because you can not make rational decesions without having critical infomation to analyze. Goes back to what I was saying about 911. Did You know it's a fact that WTC building #7 was imploded on 9-11-01 ? Most people don't because they won't "here's that word again" BELIEVE it unless G.E. who owns NBC tells them. Most of them don't know who the vice President is, but they can tell you who got voted off survivor. Thsi is what we are up against.
Last point. I have a Video list on this forum with my email. Contact me and I will give you any DVD's you want.
Hope I was helpful.
