    That's English, dumbass.

    Why do stop signs in France say "Stop" but in Quebec they say "Arret"?

    I don't think there is any "official language" for rbr. But if 99.99%
    of the posts are in english it's an "unspoken fact".

    But that's not the point.

    The point is that Bob knows most people here can't read french. But
    EVERYONE knows that when he posts in french it's about Armstrong and
    drugs.

    Bob is just being a dumbass. There is nothing wrong with speaking
    french on here or anywhere else. It's just when Bob does it to be a
    dumbass.

    Today we're all named Bob.

    Bob.

    Coming from a guy that claims to have found [censored] in the apartment that

    Of course maybe it'll be different now that it's published in French.

    I have over 400 college credit hours including 3 semesters of

    No. Even if you were fluent seven or eight languages, you'd still be
    a dumbass.

    Exactly, so your statement of "How appropriate! The mono-lingual
    american [censored], calling someone multilingual a dumbass." was completely
    pointless.


    I think we are all excited that you read and understood that much.
    Monolingual, you should appreciate, was offered as an overstament.

    Read the paragraph again in French that you snipped. There's nothing in
    that paragraph about finding drugs in Armstrong's home. As I said, "I don't
    think Anderson has directly called Armstrong a cheat before." I may be
    incorrect as to that, but my recollection is that he has made statements of
    a factual nature without the conclusion set out in that paragraph. If
    that's the case, the Le Monde article has something new in it. If not, it
    doesn't.

    Kristin Armstrong, the ex-wife of the victorious sextuple of the Turn,

    Thanks.

    Not much we haven't already hear I guess.

    Funny how Babelfish makes it sound like Golum (from Lord of the

    No failed drug tests. What is a person to do.

    Becuase French Canadians take "dumbass" to a level that is untouchable
    by the rest of the world.
