As I stated before, a Frenchman is brave when they have numerical superiority and think they will win.
There is a point where hopes cannot transcend reason.
If the French can believe themselves infallible even with their obvious blunders, then surely they'd do the same with all battles.

Canadians are cool! They can memorize over 25 songs, and even transcribe them to the PIANO with just a click! They seem fashionable, casual, and are quite the party-goers if you ask me.

Thumbs up from south of the border! :lol:

One European is worth a hundred Orientals.

The Frenchmen though they could take on seven thousand, forgetting that they were French.


Again, what constitutes victory in your eyes? Noble death? Because their suicidal charge was them attempting to flee...
we, unlike the bourgeoisie, have nothing to lose and therefore our expression will be the only honest one, our words will be the only challenging ones and our art will be the one revolutionary expression. We need new noise and new voices and new canvases to become something more than the last poets of a useless generation.

Maybe. You'd think they'd be fine with their own ilk if they can speak a decent amount of french, but I guess not.

I think you all are good people better than most of us Americans but maybe that's because it's cold up there and theres not much women or beer so you just sit in the cold harsh weather and read and study. But then again I could be wrong :lol2:

"Never be deceived that the rich will permit you to vote away their wealth." - Lucy Parsons
Socialism is an economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy. "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these. There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them. They differ in the type of social ownership they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.

I mean, we can't just base our gulags off fishing and seal beating.
