Re: Why Hate France??
William was the worst king we ever had, he was a ruthless bastard, litterally.
Bad things this Frenchman did:
Abolished elected monarchy,
Abolished Witan,
Abolished Thanes,
Killed off, relatively, nice English aristocracy,
Instituted oppressive feudal system.
Other reasons to hate France:
French revolution,
Metric, which is all fidley,
Inspiring America to revolt.
Totally undemocratic.
Oppressive regime.

“Inspiring America to revolt” ??????
“You call yourself the France, not just France.”: The England?
“Totally undemocratic.” Explain, please…
“Oppressive regime.” Same, explain….

3. You can't wear a cross in public, or a headscarf.
I was also being a little flippant.

Re: Why Hate France??
1. "The Social Contract" Rousseau, the man Voltaire ask to eat grass, a revolutionary?
2. Chirac. He was elected, as good, if not better that G. W. Bush. At least it wasn’t his brother who declared the elections valid… Well, they are in the same pollitical side, at least…
3. You can't wear a cross in public, or a headscarf. Go to France to see, you will have a shock…
Please I want real reasons, valid point of view. Ok, I accept Rousseau… Chirac, with an effort, is accepted.
I find on other reason to hate France. Without the French Fleet and the French Army, Yorktown wouldn’t have to surrender, because the reinforcement could have arrived and the USA wouldn’t exist. That is a very GOOD reason to hate France for this reason, for a lot of people…
“or at least send it back to italy.” Euh, the Mona Lisa was bought by Francis 1st.
“They are part of NATO” No, they aren’t. They share the Integrated Command, but they are independent (to use Nuclear Power), in theory.

Re: Why Hate France??
oh, ok.
we would have still won the revolution without the french navy,more lives would have been lost and the conflct prolonged but the british would still be forced to pull out due to the tremendous expense of the war. not saying i'm ungrateful to the french for that, cause i am, thanks for the help 200 years ago. but i consider that paid off by our freindly aid to the french in WW1 and WW2.

Re: Why Hate France??
My american civilization teacher also hates France and French people on the whole. He doesn't know a concrete reason, according to him that's a tradition in his fatherland...
Re: Why Hate France??
Whereas before 1066 it was a land of milk and honey, like The Shire only with slightly taller people? Pah! Though he was ruthless, without a doubt.
