What a bunch of BoFshit.

Where are you getting the idea that renaming french fries caused a terrorist attack?

Well now I just don't know unless it's from your own insinuation:

"mocked them for that decision. And France is paying the price for that today."

You do remember posting that, right?

Your ADD is acting up, ask your Mommy to get your Rx refilled.

I do remember posting that, though I never insinuated what you seem to feel I insinuated.  Here, let me hold your hand and walk you through this since you don't appear to be equipped to comprehend this on your own.  In 2003, the Bush administration aggressively made its case for a pre-emptive invasion of Iraq.  France did not support that cause.  Republicans then mocked the french by renaming french fries to "freedom fries" and commonly referring to them as "cheese eating surrender monkeys".

Fast forward 12 years and it turns out that the french were clearly right and the US was clearly wrong.  Iraq turned out to be a massive foreign policy quagmire, just as the french predicted.  Today, the french are paying the price for our misguided foreign policy decision (Paris attacks).  It is our misguided foreign policy that is to blame for the Paris attacks, not the renaming of "french fries".   To be as clear as possible for gatorfan, France is paying the price for our foreign policy decisions in 2003 - the very decision that they did not support and that we - well, republicans - mocked them for.

It's amazing that that needed to be broken down so specifically for you.  

Here's a pro-tip for you, gatorfan.  Follow this and you won't find yourself in these type of situations.  Anytime you read something that I say and then conclude that it is completely outrageous - such as "Did he just say that the Paris attacks stem from french fries?!?! What?!?!" -  maybe you should first check your reading comprehension before replying.  It is much more likely that your reading comprehension is failing you that it is that I said something that idiotic.

What a loon, you managed to say nothing of interest using a whole lot of words. The day will never come when I need a tool like you to explain anything to me. When you get some real world experience and get out of your Mothers basement then perhaps you will understand the world is not what you think it is.

Have a Freedom Fry boy-child.

They day has already come.  It is today.  You just failed to comprehend a fairly straightforward post, and I then had to explain it to you using all of those words.

I mean, you agree that you misinterpreted the post, right?  Is this an accurate interpretation of what I said, gatorfan?

I didn't say that the renaming of french fries caused a terrorist attack, did I?  But that is in fact how you interpreted my comment, isn't it?  So the day has in fact arrived where you need me to dumb things down for you in order for you to understand them, hasn't it?

gatorfan wrote:What a loon, you managed to say nothing of interest using a whole lot of words.

I said exactly what needed to be said in order to assist you on your way to the actual meaning of my comment, because you weren't able to get their on your own.  Your response here suggests you don't even comprehend my assist to you.  If that is in fact the case....well....good luck with that.  I'm sure there are plenty of lucrative careers out there for people who can't effectively read.

I don't know how lucrative your career is poring over BLS charts but there is something for everyone. Thank you once again for taking the time to prove what an unqualified narcissist is like. Now - back to your wikipedia learning portal boy-child.

I'm not sure why you're finding this so hard to follow.  You just entered a thread, you completely misinterpreted my post - which was fairly straightforward -, and then I dumbed it down for you.

How does one get from that series of events to "you just proved what an unqualified narcissist is like!"?  I mean really.  How is my dumbing down my comment for you so that you could understand it an example of me "proving what an unqualified narcissist is like"?  

Here again, you thought that my comment said "The Paris attacks happened because french fries were renamed!"  That was your interpretation, correct?  And that interpretation was wrong, wasn't it?  I then dumbed it down for you and now you understand the err of your ways, correct?

You know damn well when that happened.

It’s pretty sad when someone has to explain to the originator of a thread what the thread is obviously intended to be about.

Let’s review.

BoF posted a thread titled “Freedom Fries”

Then BoF entered a usual Wikipedia reference about Freedom Fries

Then BoF entered some BoFshit about REPUBLICANS, bad policy, and exporting those policies to the “rest of the world”.

Then BoF apologizes to France.

The BoF posts this:

“The french were absolutely correct in their assessment, and we - well, republicans - mocked them for that decision. And France is paying the price for that today.”

Suggesting of course a relationship between the U.S. “mocking” France about French fries and acts of terrorism this week. To make it easier for BoF to follow his/her own thread I highlighted the major point in red.

Then, as usual, BoF spews more BoFshit about how misunderstood he/she (or is it she-he) about the subject and constantly adds to the “intent and meaning” of the thread. Right.

Well I guess since BoF obviously lacks the intellectual capacity of even an amoeba it only follows that she-he would be confused about what they wrote.

It’s always entertaining (at least briefly) to watch the tap dancing though.

I'm not sure I can really dumb this down any further.  If you're not able to read my first few posts and realize that I'm attributing the Paris attack to our invasion of Iraq in 2003, well, fair enough.  That is why I made it very clear to you in this post:

Now, if you're still lost after the above explanation, I'm afraid I can't help you.  There are solutions for that sort of problem, gatorfan.  Help is available:

http://www.learningrx.com/reading-help-for-adults-faq.htm



Imagine seeing someone try to parallel park adjacent to where you are parked and you can clearly see that there is no room.  You shout to the person, "Hey, I'm sorry but there is no room there.  If you continue backing up, you're going to hit my car."   The person responds, "Oh!!! Well look at this little idiot!  He doesn't know anything about parking!  What a dumbass!  He's non-parking moron! Hahahahahaha!  I see that you drive a Toyota Carola!  More like Toyota NoParkola!!  Hahahaha!  Toyota NoParkola!!!"

Shortly thereafter he wrecks into your car.  

Now, hopefully you're beginning to see the parallels here.  The entity that made the error is obviously the hotheaded, childish idiot who tried to parallel park and wrecked into the other car.  That would be representative the US.  The entity who will suffer the consequences is the level headed person who pointed out the obvious in advance.  That would be France.  It is a miscarriage of justice and the part where the hotheaded entity mocks the level headed entity merely adds insult to injury; and that was the painfully obvious theme of this thread.  If you still haven't arrived at the point after this, perhaps you will simply never arrive at the point.

Some things are simply beyond the grasp of certain people.

France,  I personally apologize for letting the ragheads do an act of war on you on my watch.   I shoulda not let that happen.

Typical racist statement. Characteristic of a Progressive.
