Sweatshops

[Tres Bien]

It's always funny when the french take the moral highground about sweatshops, colonialism or anything else. Hey we've stolen and plundered for hundreds of years but now we're reformed and we think you're bad ! Everything the U.S. does makes us feel impotent so we take the moral highground.

Im armenian im not french, I have no connection to france whatsoever.
It's not france that is starting wars each and every year

That must be why your screename is in french, because there's no connection. My mistake.

[Tres Bien]

Are you Turkish? Your screenname is Turkish.

[patlajan]

Are you Turkish? Your screenname is Turkish.

We use that word, I didn't even know its turkish. I imagine there are other words used in Armenian that are from other languages. I don't imagine "tres bien" is one of them.

[dusken]

Actually, there are a lot of french terms borrowed by English for rhetoric: tres bien, tres [followed by English adjective], menage a trois, being just a few. Basically do not presume what an individuals political stance is based on their screenname unless it is something like "Commie" or "Socialist" or "Nazi", et cetera.

She was quick to say "I'm Armenian and have nothing to do with France". However out of all the languages in the world, she picked French which must have some significance.

[dusken]

Not necessarily. French is a common language and is considered to beautiful. Using it means nothing. Also, I do not know where she lives but if she is from Quebec she will speak French and not care about French political views.

You could always plagiarize what is already in this thread. I'm sure your professor won't find out.
