From all my exposure to French culture (Houellebecq, Camus, Sartre's Huis Clos, Irreversible, Les Invasions Barbares), it sure is.

Could be I'm just drawn to nihilism and there's a bunch of pleasant French art too, about happy children and friendly robots.

I think running a schtick into the ground is PERFECTLY OK.

I liked your new BDSM schtick.

Which schtick was that?

Grallon's fun because he's the Frenchest person on the forum.

I think of Zoupa as the Frenchyiest person here.  And Zoups is fine.

Yeah, right.  Zoupa might have part-time metropolitanness in his favor, but where's the nihilism?  The defeatism?  The dead-end technocrat's job?  The paradoxical hatred of Muslims and the United States?

I dislike the Nihilism.  Surely that isn't a major facet of French Culture?

Meh, he offsets it with his Hezbollapologism.  The French have so many romantic notions of their old Levant.

This is the worst attention whoring thread ever.

Actually, it's the biggest "Gotcha" thread yet.

he did say he was the least intelligent person on this board, bar martinus (which i have doubts of, but that's another argument). that is quite a strong statement, and when we've quality posters such as yis around, it makes one wonder

Just found this thread, which is a hoot.  I must admit I don't recall saying that anyone was the "least intelligent person on this board," and the search function has no capability to find a post with me saying this, either.  Got some context?

I am a believer in the old Confucian idea:
"Tzu King asked: 'What would you say of the man who is liked by all his fellow townsmen?' 'That is not sufficient', was the reply. "What is better is that the good among his fellow townsmen like him, and the bad hate him.'"

The responses in this thread assure me that I am following that principal.  :D

You've clearly missed all my attention whoring threads.  :(

I'm still pretty new. :(

It's French-Canadian, not French.

You suck at ignoring.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
