    You know what else is quite close to the mother country? Putting their queen on your freaking currency. You are NOT European. Screw the metric system. Observe the most fundamental law of capitalism: some people just deserve to die because they can't afford to live. Who needs reasonable portion sizes? Reject the yoke of Eurodominance brother.

    Speak for yourself, the Constitution is based on the ideas of the country Americans bash the most. The French :p

    Wow. I'm not shocked or making light because he's a Fox News guy, it's more a comment on our education system. When did we stop explaining stats to our kids? Someone needs to go back to 6th grade math over here. Jeez.

    Meh, Jefferson was heavily into the French Enlightenment version of democracy, however filtered down it was from any of those toga wearing dudes.

    Haha very true. I think National Treasure 2 does a good job of defending the old frenchies. I hate Parisians, but the other French were really cool. Plus, the burgers at McD's are in the shape of stars! Isn't that awesomeness?!?!?!

    Their maps are most likely clean..without any country names on them. Their chyron operator would be most likely to blame for putting the wrong label on the country. Probably got instructions to build the graphic less than an hour before airtime with a whole list of other graphics. I've seen a lot of equally bad mistakes many times. Just watch newscasts closely and you'll see incorrect grammar, spellings, and labels all the time.

    One thing, can you explain Hockey to me? I don't get the allure. Your football is kinda nice, and the whole French without being French is cool. Even your social welfare programs I can get down with. I just don't get hockey. I'd be more opposed to hockey than if Obama said we were going to emulate Canada's governmental system completely. What's the deal with hockey?!

    You act like you're looking for someone to defend hockey...there is no defense for hockey...allure? What allure? It's freakin' hockey! It's soccer on ice, with a smaller ball (that slides) that you can't kick (you hit with a stick). Oh yeah, and you're allowed to abuse each other because you're wearing 5 inches of padding. And it's cold.

    Off topic, but what is FTW? All I can find is "for the win," but that doesn't seem to fit your general train of thought? Just curious.

    No you're right, I meant it as 'for the win', I was being sarcastic.
