    See, you say that, but every time I call out the French for being baby eating cannibal slaver scum of the earth, its all “the past is history” and “you can’t hold a grudge”. Every single country touched by France has been made worse. There is nothing at all redeemable about their culture or traditions. Its all shit and violence, all the way down to the core.

      Well, if you hold a grudge against french individuals for what their ancestors did, yeah, you’re wrong. You can hold a grudge against France as a country for what they did, though. Unfortunately it seems that you’re doing the former.

        That’s just a sandwich. Stop pretending. France also gave Vietnam colonialism and syphilis. Zero countries on this planet are better for being involved with the French.

            Im so glad that a sandwich is worth more to you than the native’s way of life, including thousands of years of tradition and culture. Very colonist of you. You’ll be hard to miss on the other side, but ill give it the old college try.

      That’s wrong.

      Switzerland would not have been a democracy withiout Napoleon forcing us to implement it.

        Because clearly democratic Switzerland did nothing wrong. No raubgold here. Nope. They just happened to find it all at a yard sale. Well, 6 million “yard sales” or so.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
