Ah the French .. don't you just love them?

Well, yes, I do in an ambivalent kind of way. Some of my formative years were spent in France many moons ago and I knew nothing but inordinate kindness from them. That figures still.

Rudeness, or more likely brusqueness, is par for the course in Paris, but even there I've always encountered far more courtesy than the other.

#2. Finnking
Your stupid non-question is as witless as most of your lazy posts in sympathy with vile bodies on this planet. Get a life.

I agree that the attitude in Paris can be brusque and unhelpful but I think that is true in any big city. Ever been to New York?
HOWEVER, on a recent trip to the Burgandy region of France i was struck by how friendly, helpful and pleasant the French people I met were.

So, Finnking #2 Smelly and rude? I don't think so!

The French "didn't help us in Iraq" because they had more sense, and more backbone than Tony The Poodle.

Note to all:

There's a troll about using my name. Check for the punctuation marks.

Finnking - if you have nothing interesting or positive to say, or no apparent knowledge of or interest in France then shut it.

#6 The Daleks. Spot on. Nor do the French cow tow to the Americans. I lived in the US when the French voted against going to war in Iraq and I could not beleive how ant-French everyone became. Well guess what? Is'nt that is what democracy is all about having the right to vote yes or no? In the west in recent years all democracy means is having to agree with everything the Americans say. The French simply dont.
Its time someone like Nicolas Sarkozy had the balls to stand up against the PC brigade and make would be immigrants respect his countries culture instead of having to give them everything they want and be frightened of offending them. I just wish someone in Britain had the balls to do the same.

Since the troll's opinions are indistinguishable from the drivel served by the real Finnking it hardly seems worth getting worked up about.

"Some conservative Jewish voters, who were planning to vote for Sarkozy because of his staunch support of Israel, say they now are reconsidering. "

I'd like to see some proof of this. I don't believe it.

No-one should pen Jean-Marie's political obituary just yet.

"Royal, meanwhile, is being attacked for manipulating symbols that historically have been the domain of extremists." The French flag and the Marseillaise are symbols of extremism? Time for the mainstream to take those symbols back, then.

"What do you expect from a culture and a nation that exerted more of its national will fighting against Disney World and Big Macs than against the Nazis?"

Some great stuff here at http://www.i-hate-france.com/index.html

Of course the French wouldn't go to war against Saddam, they were making too much money on their oil for food scam.

I was Trolled today on another website, the silly Troll just put a period on the end of my name. I think he/she is gay because they posted a website for gays when using my name.

Anyone who is NOT native to a specific
country is a threat. 1 in 20 assimilate, the other 19 get together in groups and infest the area they choose. They resist language change and cry rascism when asked to blend in. All foreigners must aquire employment ..those who dont within 2 months should be deported No foreigners should be allowed to reproduce, those that do should be sent to their home country to give birth, AT THEIR COST. ANY immigrant/asylum seeker has to agree with these rules or be deported. I think all this waste of the host countrys resources should be made illegal and all efforts to stop the drain should be the law.

Anyone who loves Middle Eastern culture more than the culture of their host nation should be sent back.

Hopefully you just put the wrong # down when calling someone a Troll, you know better than to call me a Troll.
