but not really.

what about everyone else? and seriously? weak? isn't that just mean?

that without them, the USA might not have achieved independence to start with.

I went a few years ago, and this was true.

...but then I went again last year and Paris was transformed into a beautiful city of lights, crammed with the most cheery, friendly, helpful people imaginable.

But then, it was Christmas.

I don't think I'll forget being heckled in a bar by some French lass for about an hour and a half. She was so drunk that in all that time she never quite got that I don't speak French...

French people can be very arrogant.

The only ruder people in general were Swedes.

This is from my vast life experience

Or those bastards the WELSH!TROLLS,THE LOT OF 'EM!

some of it is genuine hatred. This often extends to the rest of europe. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE GUNS.

Mona Lisa?

Name me one French band that has broken through to an international stage of recognition in this decade so far.

And if you were a French indie kid, I'm pretty sure you'd rather live in England. Its not like you hear about bands doing French nationwide tours is it? And they can't exactly commute to gigs as we can, since their country is about 10 times bigger than ours.

French lost the culture wars.

The British prevailed militarily paving the way for the anglosphere.

French resistance to learning English actually does them massive damage economically. They are literally the only country on earth that still contains a large core of people who won't accept that English is the dominant global language.

This coupled with childlike anti-Americanism is seriously fucking them over in the longterm.

As already stated, I like France, but they've got to let go of their past. After all, the Brits have and we had a hell of a lot more than they ever did.

The most underrated country in Europe by a long margin.

and castles.

in spite of the fact that we technically wouldn't be the country we are if Germanic tribes hadn't come here yonks ago, kicking the withdrawing roman mandem

Is it simply the war that brought up this animosity?
When German's get constantly reminded of the holocaust it exasperates considering how widespread eugenicists were in lots of countries in the western civilized world.

btw i am not a nazi sympathizer (very much doubt they'd let me join)just pointing out the stupidity in this holier-than-thou attitude a lot of brits have to all countries; we've had it for america for quite a while now
