France for hubdreds and hundreds of years was the predominent european continental power. They had the largest land military and most professional until the Franco-Prussian war in which Germany came to be. Germany then became the greatest European power. Ww1 happens and a battlefield stalemate occurs, for the most part, and german government surrenders. Fast forward to ww2 andHitler's military steamrolls france. Eventually the allies won though and stripped Germany of its military once again. Although it and the uk were heavily supported by the us military france regained military superiority.

@ladyofjefferson are you wanting to persue a trade? Based on your comment above it seems like you are. May i ask what trade?

I've been welding for over 4 years now. Started when i was 16. I've been 100% comitted to the trade. I passed every written test, visual inspection, and destructive test I've ever taken. I take this shit 100% seriously. At my current work I'm the only orbital welder, hand welder, and one of 3 weld inspectors on second shift. Its taken 4 years to get this far into this trade. If you aren't willing to put that kinda work into it then stay the fuck away from tradework.

A trade is a highly specialised aspect of the workforce. Plumbers, carpenters, welders, electricians, etc. These are work environments and professions the common person cannot do.

Trades aren't for everyone. Just because you can't go to a university didn't mean you should pursue a trade. A trade is something that takes years to master and even then you'll never fully master it. If you aren't determined to learn it and arent 100% interested in the trade then you're wasting your time and money in a similar manner as someone going to uni for no reason.

Flushable doesn't mean septic safe. You have to get septic tank specific things. I hope they didn't ruin your sceptic tank by putting the wrong chemicals and shit into it.

Bit harsh mate. This is a ww1 era weapon where the bullets came down rather than being fed upwards. Also, weapons like these are still made but are rather obsolete as they block the shooters peripherals.

What this is telling me is that you're more adept to school than others. School being harder today versus yesterday is an opinion based argument and one that is based on your own experiences. School was never hard for me, i just didn't care for it i had a 3.5 gpa in high school and could've gone to any college in my area but i chose not to. The fact you had a 3.7 in high school is irrelevant. Onto the next post, you just confirmed a previous statement that math and other subjects have changed in recent years whereas before you claimed nothing has changed.

Think about how multiplication and division are done and the integration of pemdas into math classes. A math equation such as:
The way my father and many of your older and/or simple calculators calculate.
5+2×3=21
This is how its taught today. Math has changed as order of operations have changed.
5+2×3=11

You sound as if you're someone far removed from school with the way you're talking but seeing as you are relatively the same age as me i cannot believe how blind you're being. I've looked at my father and uncles tests as work when they were in highschool, my grandparents kept and still keep everything from our schooling. It's night and day different compaired to whats taught today.

I've got two questions for you mate.
1. Did you go to school in the us?
2. When did you graduate high school?

In what way? You have a choice where you work and what you do. A sex worker often times doesn't have that choice.
