    Everyone DOES NOT hate the French.

    As far as I can tell, this sort of sterotype stems from how the British and the French always fought through the medieval ages and so on. Even when Canada and the US were first settled by Europeans in the 1500s, 1600s and 1700s, the British and French fought over who owned the land.

    So if your British, that's probably why you've heard that. I don't think anyone in their right mind would hate someone because of their nationality these days. That's just stupid.
    Everyone hates americans.
    except some people here on the island who think of them as gods.

    No, I like croissants
    Leave some shards under the belly
    Lay some grease inside my hand
    It's a sentimental jury
    And the makings of a good plan

    Except Croissants were created to commemorate when the Turks attacked Vienna, with the Crescent shape as a reminder of the Turkish flag.

    I think it was Vienna, not sure, but I most certainly know it wasn't the French that invented it.

    Search for it now, you'll find a few thousand pages on how you won't find any pages for French Military Victories.

    If you'd read the thread, you would have seen from what I posted, that most of Europe do.

    We just take all the insults directed at us as jealousy, it's so much easier. <3

    Ok, let me rephrase that.

    Speaking English from birth, I find it overly complicated, because of the variation in the verbs for tenses (yes, I know it happens in English, but I just couldn't get it in French), along with the positioning.

    I've always found it that way, I'm sure it's perfectly easy for someone who's spoken it since birth or is a natural linguist, but I personally find it just too complicated, and I'm sure plenty of other people do too.

    The same happens with German for me really, though I was always a touch better at that because I liked it more.

    Ok?
