What is your typical view on FRENCH ?

I've never seen a woman who didn't shave nor wear deodorants. When I think of unshaven women it's seem more a Russian thing (Look Olga in Metal Gear Soli: Son of liberty :lol:).

I always thought more of the old East Germans when I thought of unshaven women.

The stereotype I think of is snobby. French is one accent/language I don't enjoy despite it being a 'romantic language' I always felt like it sounded whiny.

Beautiful place though, very beautiful.
*edit*
Oh, and kissing <3 French kisses ftw

Being from Canada, I like the French. (Except when they try to separate...Just yell at the government...) I can read/speak a bit of French. Mostly from hours upon hours of reading French forums. (Anyone know Ankama games? Great stuff.) And all of the French people I've known have been great fun. A great sense of humour, and a delightful hate of txt tlk. :D

I acknowledge the fact that I know basically nothing about the French but, I will still make fun of them for their lousy military history.

Everything I know about the French, I learned from Monty Python

"french kiss".
i think that says it all. :)

Personally, I don't mind the french but, as a whole you guys have some huge flaws that need to be corrected.

1. Your universal health care. Why is that a problem? Look at how much it is draining your economy. Go look up the figures of how much it costs the government to fund the project. Then break that down to how much money per person is being spent. That is a lot of money that could be spent on better programs to make France a bigger player in the world stage.

2. The labor laws the ones that sparked all those protests in 06 (forgive me if your country has changed them I haven't heard any information about it). The "right to work" or however they rationalized it was a poor idea. Companies only do things if it makes good business sense and without the risk of being fired you won't really put out the effort to do a good job. In America we can lose our jobs fairly easily so everyone who wants to keep their job worked very hard otherwise they end up unemployed. Why would a business risk hiring some young inexperienced person if they will be stuck with them?

3. The 751 Zones Urbaines Sensibes (pardon if I messed this up). The french people have allowed their laws to take a back seat to aggressive Muslims. Those pockets of Muslim people have their own set of laws known as Sharia Law. Basically, they have created a state within a state. National or local laws hold no power there since they believe those pockets are their land and only Sharia law can touch them. If these problem areas aren't dealt with and forces to obey the Federal and local laws then the problem will only worsen. At the current rate of affairs in France continue. Eventually your Liberal ways will end when you are democratically turned into a Muslim state. Don't believe me? Find a book called

Al-Zarqawi: The Second Generation of Al Qaeda by Fouad Hussein.

It'll chill you to the fucking bone.

Besides the hostility towards Americans in general (since not all of us are typical American idiots). I like the French but, every time I have spoken to a French person it sound like you are being snobby to me. Maybe its the language, maybe its the people actually being snobby who knows.

they have some excellent toast.

...and fries.

Oh, gotta thank them for the Statue of Liberty and making the victory of Phelp's sweeter with their smack talk. XD

10 things about france:

1.they know how to torture(worst prison system in EU and the guillotine are invented France)
2.they know (too much) how to enjoy life
3.they know how to enjoy sex("french" kiss)
4.they know how to entertain people(moulin rouge and lido)
5.they have an amazing sense of art and fashion,but their pop music sucks
6.their language are annoyingly hard
7.they know how to cook
8.they care only about their own wellness(almost no loan/donation given to 3rd world countries)
9.they know how to get the most out of their government(free education,free healthcare)
10.they know nothing about things outside of france

feel free to pm me if anybody thinks that i get something wrong.

They eat frogs.

chinese,taiwanese,japanese,indonesian,and koreans also eat frogs fyi.

I don't see how that changes the fact that the french eat frogs?

I image googled "French" and this is the first picture I got.

Now I think French people like to be intimate with insects.

and croissants.

For the health care system, it's indeed a flaws to our economy but since we have it for years if we get rid of it there would be another revolution ^^'.

The labor law change nearly each years, so it's a bit complicated to answer this one.

As for the last One, I've never Heard of it O_o.



The Frog legs is indeed a French recipe, but it don't mean we eat frogs on a daily basis and many strangers that come in France, try this because they think it's something French do, but as I said a bit higher, most of the French are disgusted by the simple idea of eating frogs. I've seen a CSI episode where someone died from eating a living octopus, and in this episode there were Fried tarantula and plenty other atrocious "delicacy", it's exactly the same thing and I don't know for sure it's an American thing but I've never heard of something like this in France. It's just stamped all over the France by the other country (the brits call us Frogs, and we call them rosbif ^^') it's like the beret, the only person I've seen wearing a beret in Paris were tourist, and in Bordeaux (my home-town), we can see the Basque, who wear the famous "Beret Basque" (a classic beret but red) and the Basque are people from France and Spain, so it's a bit like a "clan" thing.

For the accent it's true that Parisian have an annoying one (the fact Paris was a noble nest for generation is probably one of the reasons) but the accent is not the same all over France, come to Marseille in the south you'll see what I'm talking about ^^.

As for the way we are with American, do you remember some of the reaction your country had when mine refused to help in the war against Afghanistan ? "Don't drink wine, don't eat French fries, but liberty fries (d'uh"), someone even said that it would be better to take back all the 9.386 corpse of American soldier buried in the Colleville cemetery, in the U.S such thing were maybe anecdote but it was all over the news in France and it has leaved a scar. (Strangely, we don't heard anything about giving back the Statue of Liberty, were they too fond of her to remember she was French ?)

I couldn't be arsed to read all that you wrote, but i think i need to point out that i didn't diss the french when i brought up the "frogs" lol.

lol :lol: The weirdest thing I've seen so far.

French kiss FTW btw

When I was back in Highschool the french were just a big joke. We constantly made fun of them and gave them the nickname of "Cheese Eating Surrender Monkies" because presently...and for the last hundred years or so the french have been horribly passive and pretty lame.

For me, they still fall in the same category as hippies and pacifists, which really isn't a good place to be. On the upside, I have met some attractive french chicks, though my impression of the ones who -live- in france is none too good, I don't like hair.

Well I don't see the point of going at war when you don't have enemies and we often help our allies if we think it's a good thing to do. (Remember Lafayette, hmm ?) You act as if you were the leader of the world (we often hear the term "leader of the free world", but you don't have nor deserve this tittle) and so you act all over the world, it's not really strange that some people see you as a harm. If my neighbor came to my house to learn me how to wash the dish, I would probably be angry at him even more if I already knew how to wash the Damn thing.
