The French sure do get some grief. It seems as though they're the most disliked country sometimes. Why, in your view? I refer of course to the French in France - not French-speaking people elsewhere in the world.

A lot of English people say "God I hope Korea beat France in the World Cup" and that's kind of understandable because of the history of rivalry between the two countries. In case you didn't know, the French really don't like the English either - in my opinion more so than the English hate the French. There are a lot of Francophiles in England, but you won't find many anglophiles in France, despite the fact that we saved them from the Germans twice. English food and culture get constant sh*t from the Frogs, when in actual fact a lot English food is delicious whereas French food consists largely of Mussles and fries. Go to the French provinces (that means anywhere except Paris, folks) as I have done many times and you'll see what I mean.

Me personally, I sort of instinctively don't like the French because I feel looked down upon by them, but when I give it more thought, I realize that it's quite ridiculous.

Not as much as I hate the English.

Trinidad, you still have a chance.

I love the French...

As for "we saved them from the Germans twice...." Listen, I like England much more than USA, but I think "twice" is a stretch. I'd say saved once and "kinda helped" one more time. No disrespect to all England did in WW2 and their ability to "hold on" from 1939- the entry of the US, but if it weren't for those dang Yanks...

French writers, French music, French amour have a special character. French girls are often seen as cute, a simply make-upless beauty, but overall no more so than dozens of other cultures' girls, but...

...a French WOMAN is something special. In many cultures female beauty fades, but in French culture a woman is not considered less attractive as she approaches 30 and 40, quite the contrary. The poise, personality and spirit of a French woman is something special. Nothing at all submissive or inferior about it, no attempt to hold onto girlishness into their thirties, no, instead a full-bodied allure, and I don't mean fat (not with most French women). There are many incredible thirtysomething French women on the streets of Montreal.





















Korean men just don't get it. They want infantile prepubescent attitudes and you can see thirtysomething women trying to live up to a model they no longer are suited to, and their charm is very much an act, then start the slow makeup and tacky clothes slide toward ajumma status. I had a class of Korean men laugh at the very idea of women getting more beautiful in their thirties. Not possible they thought. I must be joking. I wasn't.

I avoid making sweeping generalizations about any nationality, but I will say I like French toast, French bread and french fries and I really like to french kiss.

French cheese is good.
They are absolute cunts when it comes to giving anything to the UK.
The only reason they don't want Britain to get the CAP rebate is because those turds take up about a quarter of the total money spent on CAP by each country.

They're arrogant, emotional and irrational, but at the end of the day you've gotta love them. They crack me up.

[JLarter]

Oh yea, they smell as well. even though they apparently use the most soap per person in Europe, they still manage to smell.

I cannot stand French literature--the poetry lisps, buzzes and nasals like thin berry syrup dripping out of a hairy nose with one nostril clogged and whistling. Their philosophy is only one baguette length less barmy than that of the Germans, and their entire politics is based on whiningly maintaining a world power status they no longer deserve.

I'm American, and the only (ridiculous generalization wise for the sake of this OP) country's culture and politics I respect less than America's is France's. Balance of poweur my freckled Irish ass. Don't get me started on the odour of a Parisian bus in August.

On the other hand, what I would do for a night out with Irene Jacob and Julie Delpy. Lordy, lordy, oh my lord.

At least I think thats what he said.
