Ted Nugent, rock star and avid bow hunter from Michigan , was being interviewed by a French journalist and animal rights activist. The discussion came around to deer hunting

The journalist asked, "What do you think is the last thought in the head of a deer before you shoot him? Is it, 'Are you my friend?' or is it 'Are you the one who killed my brother?' "

Nugent replied, "Deer aren't capable of that kind of thinking. All they care about is, 'What am I going to eat next, who am I going to screw next, and can I run fast enough to get away. They are very much like the French."

The interview ended at that point.

I can see why the coffeehouse was closed before... it fills up with racists, sexist and xenophobic drivel. It seems that many of the "has been"/"never been" musicians with the least talent in this forum are also some of the rudest and noisiest.

Why do you not try to make some music that somebody other than your mom and drinking buddies will listen too, and stop insulting the culture of a person who posted a helpful post here.

Edited: original retort removed as I only just noticed the above apology.

Actually, I am still waiting for yours... or I will retract my apology... or did you think I had forgotten? Do not take my apology as a sign of weakness, its not, and I do not forgive your post. I only regret that my anger effected others, not you.

I'm sorry Shad I did think you'd apologized for blatantly over-reacting here. Obviously you didn't and I was mistaken.

I can't see where Jonesy's comment which was a recount of an interview fitted into the stern and alarming accusations of racism, sexism and xenophobia. There is one notable that hi-jacked this thread away from it's positive intent and from where I'm sitting, it was you.

Despite the childish finger pointing in it, it does seem your second point highlighted here however does contain truth.

Now how about everybody moves on and enters into the spirit of the OP's original positive post is that too much to ask, or is it too late for that and somebody has to 'win'?

Apologise for what - quoting what somebody else has said?

Methinks you're being ever so slightly over sensitive.

Christ, I'm from England - people rip the p!ss out of us on an hourly basis but I don't get all defensive and "hurt"

Yes, that is about what I expected. You would take no responsibility to your actions.

If you cannot see where your actions were inappropriate, fine. But excusing them because you are British has to be the lamest thing I have ever heard.

Oversensitive? If the joke was made in a context that was appropriate for the conversation or thread, I would have said nothing. I happen to have a good sense of humor (except when jokes are racist, sexist, or homophobic simply for the sake of being racist, sexist or homophobic ... kind of like yours).

So, when will you have the guts to post a gratuitous joke that called Americans cowards in a thread that had nothing to do with jokes? Think that will go over well with most Americans? I highly doubt it. So why did you think you could get away with it about the French? Because you feel safe? Think again bub.

Better yet, just start thinking...that's what your brain is for... I know you don't like to use it much, but try.

Gets my vote Jonbuoy.

LMAO

Of course it does LOL.

*wipes tears of laughter from his eyes*

I've kept up with this thread from the first post that Alain posted and it has gotten so completely out of hand.

Bristol_Jonsey was out of line, IMO, posting the joke. it was in poor taste and had nothing to do with Alain's posting of a French Sonar contest and served nothing but the insult of the OP and others who have ties to French nationals. So in that respect I agree completely with Shad.

But obviously B-Jonsey doesn't feel remorse for posting it and he's not going to apologize. Oh well. Life goes on. If I continued to hound people who owe me an apology I'd be continually doing nothing but that. I try to forgive them whether they apologize or not. I think that's what I'm supposed to do according to what I've been taught.

forgive in spite of not getting an apology if you can, but if not, at least stop driving it in the ground. just move on.

just move on.

Indeed, like the French say: cut the Crêpe.

Humour, too - came across this French animation and I had tears rolling over my cheeks, it's hilarious (don't worry, it has subtitles):
