| DFTBA Full Member   Gender: Somewhere between female and I don't know Out Status: Open, not out. Location: Northern California, United States Age: 18 Posts: 2,380 Join Date: Jul 2008 |  The French Revolution I have to say, The French Revolution is now one of my favorite historical events. I'm getting a double whamie of it-- in World History(its Honours so we learning EVERYTHING possible) and my class is reading Tale of Two Cities in English(also Honours...>_>). God, I frickin' LOVE The French Revolution. Anyone else share my new--and slightly strange--obbsession?

| Member Regular Member   Gender: Anatomically female, but I'm genderqueer Orientation: Mainly diggin' the ladies, but I'm flexible :) Out Status: Out and proud at college, not so much at home. Location: Virginia Age: 20 Posts: 51 Join Date: Dec 2007 | Re: The French Revolution I think it's a fascinating subject. I've read a couple biographies of Marie Antoinette, and generally learned the politics of the Revolution. It was a great time in French history, but also a terrible time in my opinion

Location: Northern California, United States Age: 18 Posts: 2,380 Join Date: Jul 2008 | Re: The French Revolution ive always stood against aristocracy, but marie antoinette kicks ass. except for the fact that she drove her nation into, well, the french revolution. it was a very scary. i havent studied a time that i would love and hate to live in, but this time is so fasinating.

Location: VA Age: 24 Posts: 199 Join Date: Jul 2008 | Re: The French Revolution I'm intrigued by the French Revolution, too. My ancestors were French Huguenots, so I have a link back to that time. It's pretty nice seeing the little people rise up against the few strong people. |

| We're all a little mad! EC Moderator   Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Some people Location: Las Vegas Age: 24 Posts: 5,542 Join Date: Jan 2008 | Re: The French Revolution The French Revolution is pretty interesting. It's a time in history (that we learn about) that's dedicated to France. The American Revolution is a little more interesting to me, but on a worldly perspective, the French Revolution can be just as interesting.

Mai 68 was entertaining too. In Paris theres more and more graffiti in the subway saying 'Sarkozy, Mai 68 is coming for you !!' so yay  maybe another (mini-)revolution soon.
