Okay, it's time to clear the air, here, before I get caught off guard and snap someone's head off.

I posted something I thought was amusing to my journal, yesterday. The responses came in several flavors, most of them being private emails to me blasting me for daring to say an ill word about France. [Which is another point of annoyance: If something in my LJ pisses you off, then put your d@mned comment -here-. I'm going to start blocking email addresses. You want to lambast me for a public post? Follow suit.]

My post was in no way linked to the ongoing witch's brew in Iraq... it had EVERTHING to do with the rather arrogant way the French in general look down their noses at us. There is not a Nation on this planet that can claim purity, not a country in existance that can wear the crown of Righteousness. I thought that particular missive was amusing, particularly since I've been THOROUGHLY bashed of late for being one of those 'd@mned Americans'... and for looking like one of those 'd@mned Germans'. Tough nuts. I am. I'm also quite a few -other- nationalities; I can nearly define 'melting pot' on my own.

I'm tired of having to constantly defend myself. I am what I am. Folks don't like what they see, they'll find I'm not holding them here. My post was not intended to anger anyone, but I will NOT retract it; go look at the history books from any country outside of France.

If you're still offended, then bully for you. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to step out into the fscking blizzard and have a cigarette.

As a footnote, I'd like to note that I hate snow... with every swollen joint in my body. :(

I thought it was damned funny...just as I would a similar post about England or Italy or America or any other country. Every country has foibles...there's nothing in bad taste about acknowledging that and getting a good laugh out of it. Then again, I'm someone who is fed up with political correctness as a whole. Another case of good intentions being twisted into something unrecognizable.

*shrug*

No problems here, babe, I laughed my ass off.
