Napoleon the Third
2004-03-22, 5:18 PM #1
Backstory: Did this for an AP Modern Euro history project, Napoleon the Third was elected President by the French National Assembly (their congress) in 1848 for four years. He wanted to be elected for another four year term, but it was against the constitution. They [Assembly] wouldn't ammend the consitution, so he staged a coup of his own government in '51, and reigned for a long time. He restricted the powers of the Assembly several times. (That's his face)

No..just..no. I'm sorry, comparing Bush to a dictator is irresponsible, lazy, insulting, and above all, stupid.
A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

Shouldn't the flag be French?

Also, Sine, I don't think he was comparing Bush to a dictator. He was using that picture as a base, because it worked well for his purposes. We're supposed to provide objective criticism on his Photoshop job, I believe, not comment on the base picture.

Yeah, I wasn't comparing him to Napoleon at all. I just used the picture as a base.

And I wasn't really showing off my photoshopping sk11lz either.. considering they suck. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif] I just thought it was vaguely funny, so I thought I'd share.

And I just saw the flag.. *le stab*

I like it. I think the saying at the bottom of the Bush one has quite a bit of truth to it.

This conversation is going to get bloody. The Non-Americans will only say Bush sucks, and the Americans will only tell them to shove off. Though I don't agree with everything Bush has done, he is my president and I'll be damned if I'm not going to support him. So shove off. :P

The photoshop image isn't that great. Angle's just don't work, the pipe stops behind the head. The new text doesn't match the rest. As for the words, they actually don't seem to fit, as from what you said, he didn't try to restrict the assemblies until after they decided not to reelect him. The flag next the 'n' doesn't look right. It's cut off. I'd suggest you put Napolean into capitals and add italics. Should help that 'N' line up where the 'H' was. Though, actually, that's the wrong flag...

Hmm, as for the comments of American/Non defending/insulting Bush... that's wrong. I'm American, and I'd personally say Bush should be thrown out of the country. And no, I'm not antipatriotic. So don't stereotype, lol.

I know it's not a great photoshop. I saw the flag thing, the pipe thing, and the icky job on the hat, but that was only after I printed 10 colour copies..

But it was just a quick 5 minute job. (includes finding the pictures, ect.)

And please, do NOT turn this into a political debate. I did NOT try to compare them, I was just using the picture as a base.

If I was totally off base, I'm sorry, but you can at least understand why it seemed like you were comparing them..I mean seriously..

Why? Because being able to post in this pre-pubesant hodgepodge has any bearing at all on your life? Or are you suggesting that Sine is petty enough to ban someone because they think he's overreacting?

I tell sine to do lots of things...

I'm american and I'm of the mentality that Bush sucks terribly and should suffer the Kenedy curse.

Uh, no. You *were* way off-base, and he told you so. Unless that was an inside joke. In which case, LOL!

As for the picture, nice effect with the pipe attached to the cheek.
