Angela Harlem said:so is anyone offended with this thread too? Or just some. I cant follow anymore what French jokes are ok and what aren't. Racial slurs, not racism, for those who require clarification.
Angela I am completely confused. I mean this sincerely. I posted an article from yahoo. It is news. It is current events. It is harmless and actually as the article points out.....silly.
It is silly because the United States changed French Fries to Freedom Fries and it turns out that as the French Embassy pointed out "created by Belgium. This makes it even more silly.
Now, I am going to be extremely straight up here. There have been more posts that I have found offensive about my country and my president than I have fingers and toes to count on. I am not whining, bitching, or complaining about them. I believe people have a right to express their opinions so I have not once complained about someone offending me to any of the mods. I know for a fact, that good memebers are not posting here any more because they are extremely offended by the God awful stuff that has been posted in here about America, Our President, our Military, and our citizens.
Let the thread go on. It is news. It is an issue. Let people deal with it in their posts like many of us here have haad to do with the stuff that it said and posted.
