You may disagree with some of the lyrics, but it's their national anthem

A lot of Americans, and you as well IIRC, did not especially appreciate being told how to react after 9/11. Telling a country they should not sing their national anthem after a tragedy because you disagree with lyrics from 1792 talking about a totally different issue is a little distasteful in my opinion

yeah I know, I was in NYC on 9/11 and was told to my face by many french people how to react. Think about that before slamming me please. -- nm - loosi at home Nov 13, 21:41 3
