@ Tom :
You have just answered as if you didn't know what "Hate speech" means.
"Hate speech" has a precise and legal definition, which has not been created by me :
"Hate speech" is speech (but also writing, gesture or display) that attacks a person or a group of persons on the basis of some charateristic like, for example, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, physical characteristic (a handicap for instance), etc.
So, when you write, for example [YOUR EXACT WORDS] :
" the French were (and still are) quite arrogant! I stand by that 100% "
You are using "hate speech", even if you don't know it, even if you don't want it.
And by the way, when you made fun of handicaped persons in the Global Press of the game "A New Era" :
gameID=16661, that was also "hate speech".
If you refuse to understand that you are using hate speech, try to go and find some people of some nationality and tell them that the *people of that nationality* are *any unpleasant, or even "funny" word of your choice*. Try to do that a few times, if you only dare and don't be surprised to get your head smashed !
Come on, Tom, stop it. Please tell us nicely that you have understood what I am telling you.
Please, try to write us now something decent.

PS : I have just read your 2 latest messages. The more you write, the more you show your IGNORANCE !
Indeed, you wrote [YOUR EXACT WORDS] :
- " the Nazis, who just invaded your country and killed what several hundred thousand people? "
-> The battle of France took the life of less than 60,000 military men. That is of course a huge number but that is certainly not "several hundred thousand people".
- " These are your new friends, England (and the allies as we were all united) is now your new enemy? "
-> On July 03 1940, the United Kingdom was the ONLY country at war with Germany. The USSR and the USA, for example, entered the war only much later !
- " De Gaul agreed the Brits were in the right. "
-> You are not even able to write "de Gaulle" correctly.
-> Anyway, Charles de Gaulle wrote in his "Mémoires de guerre", many years after World War II was over, a much more moderate comment about the possibility that the French ships in Mers El Kébir could have fallen into German hands.
-> You failed to understand that Charles de Gaulle HAD to say that the British attack was "right or wrong", mostly because most people are stupid and irresponsible and need a leader who tells them what is right or wrong. You have miserably misunderstood my comment to GOD. Indeed, when I wrote to GOD [MY EXACT WORDS] :
" On July 08 1940, only a few days after the British attack, Charles de Gaulle declared officially that the British did the right thing in Mers El Kébir. Charles de Gaulle was later elected twice President of the French Republic... "
You failed to understand that my point was that de Gaulle was elected even though he had made that statement, which proved that the French were not still angry about the Mers El Kébir bombing.
Tom, if I wanted to be nasty, I would tell you to please continue to write about the Mers El Kébir battle : your IGNORANCE is very entertaining.
