Turkey and EU

[Napoleon Ier]

This is marvellous stuff, I comend you all.
Some really interesting material is being brought up.

You still owe xtra a grovelling apology for ridiculing the gold standard.

Not so much...

Yes so much.

[Dancing Mustard]

Not so much...

Yes so much.

Nuh uh.

[muy_thaiguy]

Not so much...

Yes so much.

Nuh uh.

Yeah huh.

[Dancing Mustard]

Nah.

[Neoteny]

Eh?

[muy_thaiguy]

Nah.

I'd respond to Nappys post, but then I remembered, he basically conceded.

You changed your avatar just when I got used to the last one. So who is that?

Same guy. Dave Mustaine, the lead man of Megadeth, one of my favorite bands.

Yes Rydan. The Franks ARE France and all French people are descended from them, Alsace-Lorraine is German and no Gallo-Romain settlements existed there anyway, Belgium Québec and Switzerland have never ever been historically part of France. Happy?

[Dancing Mustard]

So Jenos wins then?

[Napoleon Ier]

So Jenos wins then?

Are you retarded?

[Jenos Ridan]

Are you retarded?

No, he is not. But you're not proving otherwise.

I never said Quebec imbecile. I said, etc. I was referring to the parts of Europe you listed: Parts of Belgium, maybe, I'll give you that. But Switzerland? No. As for Quebec, the people in Quebec, both the city and the whole province in general, has a distinctly French influence, that is undeniable. In fact, if it weren't for some of your colonists, I wouldn't be able to enjoy Cajun food as it is.

Returning to unplesant matters: I only was dispelling your moronic notion that the Celts who used to live in France are the virtual sole origins of France, you seemed to make a point of minimizing or even flat out not mentioning the Burgundians (no mention at all) or the Franks (same), let along the prior wave of Visigoths (ditto). Or the Romans (more than the others, but that isn't saying much) before that, for that matter. The Romanized colonies and settlements did exist, that cannot be denied (no matter how you want to twist my words); but that was prior to a period of ethnic migration at the waning days of Rome.

So, when the Visigoths had shown up, the Gauls had long been gone, supplanted by a Roman culture. The Germano-Gallic culture never existed, but a Germano-Roman one did, supplanting an earlier Romanized Gallic one, and that is were the comment about "mutation" of the Franks (and other germanic tribes which had settled there prior) had come from.

That is all I was trying to get across.

Is it my fault you managed to make an ass of yourself? Sorry, another of those annoying rhetorical questions. If it weren't, the answer would still be a resounding no. I cannot be blamed for your thickheadedness.

Ahh...actually, you've just more or less agreed with everything I've said apart from denying gallic roots for French culture, you know, just so you could save some face. Unfortunately for you, the historical consensus is netly weighed against you. Look, go find someone else to rant your irrelevant and warped pseudo-intellectual historical sophistries, I do actually know what I'm talking about here.

That's right, you're not. Now go back to play with your tennis ball backed currency.

[Dancing Mustard]

Ha ha! Your back is currently made of tennis-balls.

Gutted.

[Napoleon Ier]

Ha ha! Your back is currently made of tennis-balls.

Gutted.

I'm missing something here...

[Dancing Mustard]

Yeah. Missing your mum.


Face!

[Napoleon Ier]

Yeah. Missing your mum.


Face!

No, hang on, explain the tennis ball comeback first.

[Jenos Ridan]

Look, go find someone else to rant your irrelevant and warped pseudo-intellectual historical sophistries, I do actually know what I'm talking about here.

If you did, you'd know that the origins of Strasburg are not found in Latin, but in early Germanic dialects.

Not that you care, "you know what you are talking about". For you it seems, "Facts be damned, I have my patriotism to uphold and self-absorption to maintain".

I ask again, are you an accurate representation of the typical Frenchman or some sort of fringe radical? Anybody care to add their two cents worth? I've thrown in all I care to.

[Dancing Mustard]

Yeah. Missing your mum.


Face!

No, hang on, explain the tennis ball comeback first.

[Napoleon Ier]

Yeah. Missing your mum.

Nah, it was just a shit comeback.

I ask again, are you an accurate representation of the typical American or some sort of simpleton? Care to find me anybody qualified who believes Alsace-Lorraine ought to be German (surely that's he historical consensus if I'm a "fringe radical")?

[Dancing Mustard]

Nah, it was just a shit comeback.

Nuh Uh.
