I am a freelancer who sometimes employs people and - for example - I am absolutely scrupulous about billing my clients correctly and paying people I sub-contract correctly. I don't think this is connected to my nationality (which is British) or my ethnicity/heritage (which is Irish) in any meaningful way. I think it is a result of my upbringing and of my business sense.

You eat crappy food and have an alliance with the JWs.
I loathe you.

Well, keep your nationality a secret and maybe you can get away with it.

Do you have hamburgers, french fries, and vanillia shakes there?

I don't live in Britain. So I don't eat 'British food', if that's what you mean by "crappy food".
Listen here, Englander! Don't you go 'n try 'n play that semantics game with me, ya hear?
You're a Brit... and that's IT! ðŸ˜

Originally posted by RJHindsIt's not a particularly funny thing to say but, I suppose, a bit cheeky when said by a French President, and therefore sort of funny coming from him. But it certainly has worn even thinner with you repeating it here more than once, and kind of draws attention to the fact that you are not very funny yourself, although people might laugh at you from time to time. Doesn't this kind of lame banter belong on General Forum, seeing as it has no spiritual dimension?

What you need is a bacon double cheeseburger with extra mayo, a large helping of seasoned fries, and an ice cold Jamocha Shake from Arby's.
THEN, maybe you'd be qualified to even SPEAK to an American. ðŸ˜
