I used to live with a bunch of French people. I have very mixed feelings as some were great and others weren't.

I'm sure you could say the same about people from your own country.Originally Posted by Taffy_is_a_Taff
er, yeah, your point being?Originally Posted by [DnC]
You can meet people whom you feel are great or outright twats from any nation. It just sounded as if you are trying to write off a country by a few individuals. I could be wrong however. I'm not attacking you if you might think that.Originally Posted by Taffy_is_a_Taff

Truly, I have mixed feelings about many places because of the variety of people I have known from different areas. When I say mixed feelings I really mean mixed feelings rather than bad feelings. I have had very few positive experiences with people from certain places and would not hesitate to mention it (although it has led to me being accused of bigotry) if it came up. The French though, probably a 2:1 ratio of French people I have known to be good rather than gits.Originally Posted by [DnC]
Edit: or to put it better, for every French person I've known whom I was thoroughly apathetic towards, I have known 2 whom I have liked.

Its not that I completely loathe France, its more of a deep seeded announce. They have lost and been conquered so many times its not funy yet still they persist. They are a small and relatively unimportant country in the world of things. Yet they think their opinions are the most important and carry the most weight. They have funnled oil out of iraq secrely prior to the war supported by their ally's. Thier politicians were massively involved in the oil for food scandle, that one really gets me. They oppose America at every turn. They are part of NATO but are helping the chinese build a next gen helicopter. They always have to build their own planes, ships, weapons even if it costs more and is horribly worse. They only work till 3 pm. They speak french. Their women have bad higene, and need to shave. They have horrid tasting food, come to Texas if you want some good food, just ask for some Barbecued brisket. They drink wine, not beer. They think they have a more sophisticated sense of art, yet in front of their national art museum they have a wreched post modern glass pyramid. I'll probably have to list some more reasons, later. Soly, ridicolus.![]()
