Pirates fire upon French Warship

yeah well, the "jokes" get a bit old too.

Then don't read them.

You are very critical of other peoples countries, so dont get your panties in a wad whenever someone makes a joke about your love. It goes both ways...

If this bothers you so much, then you might wanna start taking the moral high ground yourself and not being critical of anyone else.

For crying out loud, he was not serious!

Could you please show me where I've made unjustified or unwarranted criticism of other countries? I'm more than willing to correct a falsehood but I won't insult a nation or it's people. I have a great uncle who died of his wounds in a filthy POW camp, and a grandfather who was tortured. It's has nothing to do about being on a "moral high ground" or "pride". I can't take away someone's right to make cheap jokes or insults, but I have every right to defend the memories of my relatives by the same token. There is just and unjust criticism. I feel I know the difference. I'm moving on to another thread.

This would have made you happy?

Of course not! As the others already have explained, it was meant as a joke. I do apologise if I offended you or anyone else here by it.
Jokes like this might be old, but they'll never dissapear I'm afraid.

Once again, I'm sorry.

Lucky13, no need to apologize, I know you didn't mean anything personally by it. It's just I feel certain things have run their course. I'm just baffled as to why it continues to persist in some circles.

 

[Lucky13]

I know what you mean mate. Wish I knew.

If it was clearly a joke, then don't make a big deal about it! That is a start! Now move on as you said you would...
