I don't. France is notorious for sticking to historical wine-make methods and ignoring some pretty nifty advances in the wine-making field. Their wine isn't bad but their outdated ways of making it is leading to places like Australia and New Zealand making quite a few superior wines.

I read that somewhere too. Have you said it before on here?

I heard that from Ty a billion times, I think he makes wine there by now.

Nonsense. Idiots.

" On the 30th of April, at 1 a.m., the 3rd company — 62 soldiers and 3 officers — was en route. At 7 a.m., after a 15-mile march, they stopped at Palo Verde to rest. Soon after, a Mexican Army force of 2,000 soldiers (800 cavalry & 1,200 infantry) was sighted. Captain Danjou ordered the company take up a square formation, and, though retreating, he rebuffed several cavalry charges, inflicting the first heavy losses on the Mexican army.

Seeking a more defensible position, Danjou made a stand at the nearby Hacienda Camarón, an inn protected by a 3-metre-high-wall. His plan was to occupy Mexican forces to prevent attacks against the nearby convoy. While his legionnaires prepared to defend the inn, the Mexican commander, Colonel Milan, demanded that Danjou and soldiers surrender, noting the Mexican Army's numeric superiority. Danjou replied: "We have munitions. We will not surrender." He then swore to fight to the death, an oath which was seconded by the men.

At noon, Captain Danjou was shot in the chest and died; his soldiers continued fighting despite overwhelming odds under the command of an inspired Lt. Vilain, who held for four hours before falling during an assault. With ammunition exhausted, the last of Danjou's soldiers, numbering only five under the command of Lt. Maudet, desperately mounted a bayonet charge. Two men died outright, while the rest continued the assault. The tiny group was surrounded and literally beaten to the earth. Colonel Milan, commander of the Mexicans, managed to prevent his men from ripping the surviving legionnaires to pieces. When the last two survivors were asked to surrender, they insisted that Mexican soldiers allow them safe passage home, to keep their flag, and to escort the body of Captain Danjou. To that, the Mexican commander commented, "What can I do with such men? No, these are not men, they are devils," and, out of respect, agreed to these terms.

You seem to omit the fact that that was the French FOREIGN Legion. Hence, not fully French. More a collection of British, German, and various other nationalities.

i partly agree. french rap is great, but british (grime!!) and american rap is at least as good as french rap. no arguing about cheese, wine and fashion! best women? well, there's definitely some beautiful french women, but you can find pretty girls all over the world (except in great britain). paris? followed closely by rome, london, new york and berlin the best city in the world!

Arguing about who has the best rap is like arguing about who's shit is the prettiest shade of brown.
