    Here are just ten of many great things about the French.
    1.They kept their political integrity and stayed out of the Iraqi war knowing full well it was immoral.
    2.They annoy the Americans.
    3.They were magnificent in their resistance to the nazis in ww2, and an inspiration to other resistance movements in Europe.
    4.The french foreign legion are the hardest in the world and make the sas look like a bunch of pansies.
    5.The French language is far more sublime and beautiful than present day saxon English.
    6.Fantastic wine.
    7.Fantastic women.
    8.Fantastic cusine.
    9.The national anthem is much more inspiring than the morose sycophantic God save the windsors.
    10.They have won the European cup recently which the English have failed to do since ...........way back when.

    Yeah appaling animal right record, flagrant arrogance and stupid jibes about the British aside they really aren't too bad.


    Went on a lot of holidays in France as a child, had a great time. So yeah I do agree with the rest of you. It's a very attractive country, and to be fair, we give as good as we get on the bitching front. :)

    Let's not forget their other great contribution to European culture...
    Euro Disney!

    Oh, and 10% unemployment so they have nothing better to do but sit around and complain a lot about the US and UK.

    There are a lot better places to visit in Europe anyway, Prauge, Amsterdam, Ibiza, Rome. I can get my feel of french culture by going to McDonalds drunk on cheap wine, ordering a croisandwich, and eating it with a really smelly guy.

    Actually, I like French people. I just like causing fights. [​IMG]

    Why doesn't Eurodisneyland have fireworks?

    Everytime they set them off, the french try to surrender.

    There are lots of good french jokes.

    How many frenchmen does it take to defend Paris? God knows, they've never tried.

    France kicks ass. I'm taking French next eyar, instead of spanish.

    But, actually, it was Montreal that made me decide to take french as my language course.

    But I still repect France more so than my own country. Though I do for alot of other countries too...

    (and excuse me if I sound retarded...I havent slept for almost 20 hours now..)

    I despise France, and am not too fund of some French... but that's just me.
     
  20. .......I have seen a 100% french noob rate......

    and every french person I have met has been arrogant beyond the point of having the right to be

    it's really fun to pwn french teams in pvp and make jokes asking where napoleon is or about waterloo.....

    there is an american elevator in the eiffel tower...... just for humor.....


    but the french have been responsible for some great things...

    god bless pasteurization....

    the artificial saint.... (I know they didn't invent it, but you know joan of arc, one of the more famous saints who happens to be artificial)

    gallic warfare.... if I can give them credit for that

    napoleon rocked......

    cherac blustering and threatening the terrorists with the bombing of civilian targets

    something like 49% nuclear power?

    if things go as planned the first non debting fusion reactor, built by the english and other g8 nations.....

    helping us win the revolutionary war after denying us aid for months and months, even blockading ships that belonged to the colonies outright......

    oh wait this was the list of good things about france.....


    food........
