Irony, the most popular American mustard is called French's, right?
I have a strong dislike for the French nation. That isn't too say that I will automatically judge someone because they are French. But as a country, France just sucks. Mostly because of their military ineptness. The last good leader they had was Napolean, but he was a ruthless dictator. The French Revolution was seriously just an imitation of the American Revolution a couple years before. Except their revolution consisted of killing everybody and anybody that represented any sort of political power. They practically let the Germans march right into their home country in World War I. In World War II, the Germans did almost the exact same thing and stormed through right up to Paris almost unopposed. They got there trash kicked in Vietnam before the US got involved (of course they lost of their own accord, the reason the US did fare so well in Vietnam was because of politics).
And of course through all of this, they somehow as a nation feel superior and snobbish to the rest of the world.
I have not been to France, nor do I possess any desire to go to France in the future. But I don't hate French people, that would be racist, I dislike how they behave as a country.
Except that Vietnam was a horrible and wasteful defeat for America.
But I'd rather not get into an argument about that right now, thanks.
all i dislike are land-stealing tyrants and ppl invading the weaker countries.
I just generally dislike Europe
Okay their language might be screwy, yet it is useful living in an area that is half french. On the general side I never met anyone who was French so I can't really base an opinion on that. Though two people I know who went to France at different times told me that over all it was a pretty dirty place, but that could have been just where they were. Also in history it seems they forget to cover their backs. Literally there were three battles in Canada (New France at the time) where the French were defeated by the British for the British decieded to attack from the rear. (I think they are at Louisburg, *some place near Sackville, NB* and Quebec City).
En tous facon, j'aime la francais, meme si ma grammaire est horrible. *too lazy to add accents*
I thought that the loathing of the French was derived from the fact that they don't do very well in wars. Ever since they were subjagated by the Romans as Gaul, they've been losing and retreating. They sent a little girl to war and managed to win, but only after 99 years of losing. They unofficially renamed French fries freedom fries as a stand against the initial call for war against terror. Yes, there's Napoleon, but you'd be surprised at the amount of people who don't know that Napoleon was French.
Except Napolean wasn't French.
He was Corsican.
I hate the arrogance of the French, but that's generalization, which isn't really right. I don't really like the language, after taking it for 3 years.
Why do all of you people generalize so damned much? You can't judge the whole based on your experiences with a few, if you have any experience at all. Pepe Le Pew was a good guy, jerks.
Signature by rubah. I think.
Yes, but at that time Corsica was a French territory. I dont know if it still is. I know that Napoleon tried to lead a revolution to gain Corsican independence before he joined the French army, but other than that I dunno.

One positive thing about the french language: 60% of French words are practically identical to their english counterparts.
