ya, but if we leave it like that, then some people will call them 'freedom fries' others will call them 'french fries' and some will call it 'fries', and chaos will break out and it will lead to a BLOODY CIVIL WAR!!!

Have french fries *and* freedom fries on the menu! They'll be the same thing.

Just charge more for the freedom fries.

Do you consider hot dogs a name for 5 yr. olds? Same thing as in this case. The name got changed when we go against Germany. Freedom fries is a dumb name but I'm not totally opposed to the idea of changing the names. If they are'nt french then why do we call them french fries? Why don't we just change it?
theres a flaw in your logic there boy-o - we were at WAR with Germany, and Germany was agreesivly conquering other nations. What did France do? disagree with Americans stance.

also, if your going to change it because french fries aren't for france, then call them belguim fries- don't make a bigger ass of yourself by changes the name of something in order to make it "correct" but have it even further from the truth.(they're called french fries from the way they are prepared, but the belguims invented fries)

Alright I stand corrected on my comparison between Germany and France but I only mentioned changing the french because he said "French fries arent even french, french people dont even called the french!" If you have two conflicting opinions which do you call them? Belgium for their origination or French for the way they are prepared? I would suggest putting a neutral name or even no first word at all. Calling them fries would end the whole problem.

Appreciate your level headed-ness Crack_Smoker. ^_^ We've pissed off so many countries in the past, I wonder why so many people think it's suddenly "unfair" when someone doesn't agree with us (god forbid). Little hypocritical.

In fact, the French are fairly wise about some of the issues surrounding American relations. I found this CNN report on a French book on the 9/11 incident. Pretty interesting. You can look up more about in on the internet.

CNN, AMERICAN MORNING WITH PAULA ZAHN, "Explosive New Book Published in France Alleges that U.S. Was in Negotiations to Do a Deal with Taliban." http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0201/08/ltm.05.html

Thought you might be interested where some of their dislike for the US comes from.

No, I'm the brown leather steel-toe boots-wearing for n00b-ass-kickin type.

And on another note, these are cybernetic wood-chucks.
Your chittering does nothing but make you look silly.

TURBO MAUL MODE, WOODCHUCKS!!!

Do you think a mere bobcat could stop the power of the CREW? With but a thought, the combined might of the greatest minds on the BBS could tear your kitten to shreds. I was merely beating you for fun and exercise.

*Pets kitty*

I think I'll name her "Lucky".

Thanks. Still the whole french thing is pretty pointless though, they're just doing what makes economic sense. We do the same thing all the time, the first war in Iraq comes to mind.
