What is your typical view on FRENCH ?

Yea, I'm pretty sure we gave ourselves that title, though I can't say I really agree with it either. Maybe it's because I grew up here or because of the way I grew up, but I do feel rather destruction based.

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 ?)Really, the French have all the reason in the world to hate America, because of that shit. Liberty fries? God, I'm still pissed at America about that, and I'm not even French.

If I saved a friends life, I would expect him to do the same. WW2 was going badly in Europe and the Americans stepped in and helped for a good cause. I know America was reluctant to do it at first, but it still happened. I'm not justifying that it was right to rename french fries to freedom fries, but some people were mad, and your not makikng it any better by being mad at something minute also. Just a fucking name for some fucking fries get over it.
Sorry if it came out harsh, but I'm getting tired of "America blows chunks" bullshit.

I never did like calling my fries French anyhow, I thought it was stupid. I don't even think the French originally created those, it seems more like an American food than a French one, or even more likely, an Irish food. One can assume it is an American food because it takes minimal time to make and you can eat it on the go, or you can assume it's Irish because it is potato which still could be Irish-American, since so many immigrated here during the time of the fries inception as a food product.

French toast (often known as eggy bread in most of the UK - the exception being Scotland and Northern Ireland, pain perdu in French, pain doré in French-speaking parts of Canada) is a popular breakfast food in North America and Europe. It is also popular for breakfast and afternoon tea in Chinese world centred in Hong Kong.
French toast is made with bread and eggs; some common additions are milk, water, or orange juice to thin the eggs, sugar, and spices such as allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon. Vanilla may also be added to the egg mixture. In restaurants throughout Canada and the United States, the bread is usually thick white bread made especially for use in French toast; when made at home, regular sliced bread is often used. Although often served as a sweetly spiced dish in the United States, others prefer a savory version, seasoned with salt and pepper instead, or even topped with a melted slice of cheese.

DAMN FROGS....
Now i have that out of the way (as you can tell im English), i don't mind the French, in fact planning on visiting Paris in January for my Girlfriends 21st birthday. I just can't stand them when they try to act elitist or force thier language upon you, but luckily i haven't come acriss many of them yet.
Oh and to clear something up that was in the first few posts of this thread. The French don't generally win battles, and your example of Napolean is only half right, he was born in Corsica so he technically is Corsican not French. (digression ended)
