If they gonna change the name French fries, they better make it Belgian fries, because they are accually invented in Belgium. Belgium has 3 native languages: Dutch, German and FRENCH.
Let me give you a littel history lesson. During World War I, soldiers from the US, England and Canada were fighting their battles in Belgium. During that time, those soldiers met the 'French' fries for the first time. They called it French fries, just because our dominant language was French those days. So now you all live with the assumption that French fries are from France, which is totally NOT true.

Floppy, do you seriously believe their congressmen even know the difference between France and Belgium?

Their "president" had never been out of the country before he was... er... elected.

They should be doing a bunch more than renaming food. Screw the french. FIAT? Except for wine and hairy women they have nothing I want! G-d bless America, California has great wine and I live in Louisiana, we have some of the finest women in the country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the way we know that french fries did not come from france, it is the point--"fuck the french" that people are trying to state. Send the statue back!

Ok, you gotta admit that election was not all that democratic

Uh...the US is not a democracy, it's a representative/constitutional republic. True democracy is nothing more than mob-rule.
But don't worry...it's been well-established for a long time that it's ok to ignore alleged Democrat election shenanigans, but always go full-force in pointing out perceived Republican ones.

Why has this thread turned into Americans defending themselves to Belgians? Where the fuck is Belgium anyway, what have they ever done to even be noticed. The only famous person to come from Belgium was some guy that slaughtered millions of Congonese:D and they built a museum for him, isnt that nice

What about Poirot, the saucy, turn-of-the-century gentleman sleuth?
He's kinda famous, at least among that holier-than-thou PBS crowd.
