    Most American can distinguish between dislike of another country's governments and dislike of their people. I don't know anyone who dislikes French people for being French. I do know alot of people who disgust France's dupilictious politics. Having been to France more than once, I can say the vast majority of French are wonderful. Now the Parisians...thats another story. Not even the rest of France likes them much

    It's hardly an obsession, it's called a concern. What affects me even more directly and what also concerns me is the people on this forum and their attitude towards citizens of france. See Last Exodus' post.


    lol You're concerned about it? What's about to happen in your opinion? Is there an apocolyptic ending in relation to some the ramblings over at FOX? Do I need milk and bread?

    That's a different thread isn't it?

    And I do care, but your too fucking thick to see that.


    Lokok Ahnimus. Id be willing to bet you've not spent much time in Europe.. Am I right? Here is what you are missing. They have this whole EU thing going on over there right now. And there's a bit of a power struggle. France and Germany are trying to make themselves the center of the EU universe, Britain is trying to do the same, Russia is trying to just get into the circles.

    What pisses me off about France is not that they did not back us in Iraq. It's the why part. They stand behind this moral authority argument, but its transparently bullshit. The French are every bit as imperialist now as they have always been. The only problem is they don't have the power to exert their will. They are tweaking us NOT because they give two shits about what happens to Iraqis or young Americans who are dying, they are speaking up ONLY to increase their prestige in Europe and the developing world so that they can sell more Mirage Jets and French Nukes and all that other shit you accuse us of.

    Furthermore, its not just us. Spend some time in Europe. They ALL hate the fuckign French.

    Actually, I answered it to a degree, and you still haven't answered mine. I'm not "muddying it up", I'm relating your topic to another brand of "nation hating". If someone doesn't give you the exact answer you want to hear, you get your panties in a bunch.

    You did not answer the question
    Why is it okay for people to hate Americans, based solely upon being Americans, but you take issue with America's general distaste for the french?

    I didn't say that was ok.
    I find French people to be rude, arrogant, and tasteless. One big reason many Americans dislike them is the way they treat Americans who visit there.

    But they do make a good vodka. Only good thing in france is the deserts, and Grey Goose.

    Isn't that a pretty broad generalization?

    Well, I do work out.

    If you care so much about international malcontent towards Americans, then talk about it. Maybe one thread about it would go a long way towards leading anyone to believe you are the least bit concerned.

    There is little in terms of attacking actual American citizens that I've seen. Most of the animosity is directed at the American government and foreign policy.

    It just seems kind of prejudice, especially for a "fair and balanced" news company.

    It's cool. Go ahead and tell him about the French Mirages that turned up on Iraqi tarmacs during the supposed arms embargo. Then if ya want, carry on with the French refusal to back us in Iraq.

    Dude, I'm not a Nazi supporter. What I hate is people like you that put words in other's mouths and defamate anyone you don't agree with.
