What do you think about my country (I'm French) ?

[littlefrench]

There is just a few Frenchs on this forum and we don't listen them. So say me wath do you think about my country (no just bad pleaaase :roll: ) and i'll try to answer you with my very bad english (I'm 15 years old and most of the Frenchs don't speak english very well, thanks to excuse us)

[Midtown]

unfortunatly Ill be in france this summer for a week, visiting my ****** (girlfriend) who will be there for school. Im looking forward because I havnt humped her in another country. But am I going to have to deal with french bitching at me about my countries policys?

[Lone Predator]

I have no strong opinion either way on france. I'd like to visit and see the sights, but I can't speak the language, and I know how much French Canadians loath speaking english to us, and I wonder how most French in France are about it.

[Smintjes]

I love France :-)

So say me wath do you think about my country



I don't think about your country...And I couldn't care less of what you think of mine.

I think France is a beautiful country. Been there many times, I lived for six months in Aix. Great food (duh), lots of historical landmarks, interesting people, awesome ski!! (Trois-Vallées, Chamonix)

I just don't like their government and its policies, I have nothing against the people.

Oh yeah , French girls are real pretty :P

I do like France I prefer the countrysides and south...
My sis used to study there for an year so I went there quite regularily and still go like at least once a year...

Food is great, and most of my former college dormates were mostly French (females may I add :D , dang I was lucky) They did a suprise bday party for me by total suprise... nice memories I have with them...

I used to learn French for about 2/3 years but I was hopeless :D

Thanks for my country, but I don't understand why many American don't like the French Army and this gouvernement. But I am OK, Chirac is not very good, but he don't want a new war.

[James]

Many Americans have a bad habit (in my opinion) of looking overseas and seeing the actions of a foreign government as fully supported by that population. So, Chirac gov't makes decisions that don't sit well with the U.S. gov't translates to all of France being almost the enemy of the United States.

It's stupid.

[Kilgor]

Things that sh!t me about france.

The rainbow warrior, pure government directed terrorism against a completely unarmed vessel.

The war in iraq.
Chirac and France have had a long history of supporting saddam with arm sales, oil contracts and loans. They even built him a nuclear reactor.
There were multi billion dollar oil contracts at stake before the war, and its no wonder why france did not want US control. Yes.. every country looks after its self interests, but its disgusting hypocracy when France claims the moral highground.
Now that Saddam is gone, Paris is now seeking a new aliances with Iran.
Also France complaining about conditions in Iraq when their own third world colonies were self distructing with violence.

The heatwave that cost 15,000 french lives, yet chirac doesnt cancel his vacation in canada. And they seem more concerned about Iraqi's for the political gain.

Rising Anti semitism in france. Jews assaulted, places of worship burned.

And most of all the allied war graves defaced ... grrrr :fork:

Me unlike many of the Euro's who have a hard on for the US,I could care less about France or any other country and their politics. I unlike others here(read: Mustamato) worry and comment about my country or if another country pertains to me,like me being in a firefight against whomever,I keep my mouth shut about subjects that I have no way of knowing the intracacies about. if you are French and cool that's is all i need to know about your country,if you are not cool then that is still all I need to know about your country and that I will kick your ass if I dont like you!!

[sethen]

Personally, I would love to go to France and see it for myself. I don't listen to what others say about it, but I feel I would be discriminated against simply because I was an American. Look, its like this most Americans really don't like whats been going on and think Bush is a real creep, except for MOST of the military. But of course by their nature military types seem incapable of forming their own political opinions. As for the France vs America thing, I just really think our natiional interests run in opposite directions, thus the polarization of our politics. As for "anti-semitism" Americans are completely un-critical of the Israelis and their insane antics worldwide, at least France will put the brakes on their criminal activities!!!! :bash:

Why is an Israeli murderer called a commando and a Palestinian murderer called a terrorist? George Carlin

1 Piece of Sodiumchlorate (NaClO3) and 1 Piece of fine powdered Mg.
Mix it. Put it in something. put in a fuse. And run. With Sugar or Sorbit you can make a very fine rocket propellant.

have you ever heard of the Hundred Years War ?

so there could have some reminiscences, even today, from the two sides of the Channel :lol:

First I expressed my gratitude to all the soldiers of the coalition.

My statement was neither patronising or bull****, as your response is. We are fighting to protect our individual liberties and freedoms just as we have done in the past and now that it has been threatened once again.

If you choose to believe that Saddam wasn't a threat to individual liberties and freedoms en masse, no wonder you think that British troops are in Iraq only to collect a paycheck while doing their 'job'.

First refresh yourself on what the 'job' of our militaries is; To protect our liberties and freedoms as directed by those who have sworn under oath to defend those same values.

I think that British troops are out there doing there job, some believe in it for the sake of protecting british liberties, I think more are doing it for freedom and liberties of iraqis, and they are definately not all about the paycheck, if they we're just after money then there are far easier jobs to do for the same money back home.

and the 'job' for any american soldier is to protect the liberty & freedom of their country, which they are but forgive me if I say they are not doing it for me, because if they were I wouldn't want them to and as I am not a citizen of the US they have no right to. Because I don't believe Saddam was a threat to my civil liberties or my freedom, my life would have been the same with or without the war, however I support the war and what our boys are doing because the same could not be said about the freedom of Iraqis

[Pégase]

There were multi billion dollar oil contracts at stake before the war, and its no wonder why france did not want US control

all that is a little taboo, but I think that's the point here
to speak frank, Iraq would be the second biggest black gold spring on earth

TotalFinaElf may have been on a deal there ...

but now, situation has changed, and it couldn't go alone against "what is around" Halliburton, Carlyle Corporation, and Chevron Texaco :lol:

unfortunatly they wouldn't work with/for the same currency

the questions that some Frenchs ask are :
in what Iraq was a threat toward USA in February 2003 ?
and
what is the hidden agenda ?

Ya know you either love france or you hate france.

I know a few people that have been there. SOme said it was great and they had a blast.

Others said they wanted to get teh hell out because the people were so very rude to them...

They tried to speak french and respect the culture and be polite tourists, but the french still treated them like **** simply because they were yanks.

If i ever went to france i think id do so as a "Canadian".

[Undo]

I like the French. I grew up reading Asterix and Tintin. Loved 'em. The current government doesn't seem to be making rational decisions, but hey, none of them do most of the time.

I went to Paris once and had a terrible time, but I didn't speak French or know anyone there, so it is pretty much my fault. In the end I found a cool pub (Falstaff) and just hung out there.

By the way, to those who question French military power, etc. They have an excellent track record. I don't know what abridged history book you guys are reading, but the French have done quite well, all in all. Recent history is not "history". Also, consider that French troops are consistantly in combat in LICs in every corner of the globe. The French maintain some of the most hardcore training facilities in the world. US special forces train regularly in French facilities, such as the jungle survival school in French Guiana. It is foolish to evaluate a military based on political policies and unfounded bias.

Anyway, that is just my $.02.

Mostly, I agree with TP. I don't care where you are from, if you are cool with me I will be cool with you.

:fork: We are not doing 'a job' for them. It is in the interests of all free-living peoples to defend liberties that others choose not to defend or even subvert.

The American soldier and others 'pay' (risk their lives) for the freedom and liberties of others just as the French benefited from regaining their own liberties through similar effort. To say that the French believed Saddam wasn't a threat ignores the threat He posed to others, especially Iraqis themselves. Uncounted mass-graves and ethnic persecution account for that.


I think that British troops are out there doing there job, some believe in it for the sake of protecting british liberties, I think more are doing it for freedom and liberties of iraqis, and they are definately not all about the paycheck, if they we're just after money then there are far easier jobs to do for the same money back home.
Then qualify the 'job' at hand in future reference as you just did. :roll:


and the 'job' for any american soldier is to protect the liberty & freedom of their country, which they are but forgive me if I say they are not doing it for me, because if they were I wouldn't want them to and as I am not a citizen of the US they have no right to.

I suppose the US had no right to defend Britain from the Nazis or the Communists; Lend Lease, stationing our fighters and bombers in Britain, fighting on the side of our 'Ally' and supporting it through efforts like the Marshall Plan or providing intelligence throughout the Falklands campaign??

You don't want US to champion your own liberties and freedoms??? We don't just act for our own wellbeing and You reject US in doing so...
:bash:


Because I don't believe Saddam was a threat to my civil liberties or my freedom, my life would have been the same with or without the war, however I support the war and what our boys are doing because the same could not be said about the freedom of Iraqis
To believe that your own liberties would never be jepardized through inaction while simultaneously allowing others to be denied their own shows your level of thought .....

The French in my opinion are worthless, whining pieces of ****. not only are they not our (the US) allies, but I would consider them almost an enemy...They supported Saddam's regime to the point that some of the weapons that killed our troops were French (along with the Russians who are in the same category as Russia). They obviously are against freedom, if it's not for them, because of their riodiculous opposition to our liberation of Iraq...probably also because they don't want their dirty laundry about their support of Saddam's regime aired, which i hope happens....
On top of that your citizens are snotty, generally unhygenic (smelly), and just plain rude.
I am partly of French heritage, which is embarrassing, so I don't tell anyone that.....:) the bottom line with me is I really despise your country

in the intrest of all free living peoples? wtf? That's your belief I truly don't think so.


The American soldier and others 'pay' (risk their lives) for the freedom and liberties of others just as the French benefited from regaining their own liberties through similar effort. To say that the French believed Saddam wasn't a threat ignores the threat He posed to others, especially Iraqis themselves. Uncounted mass-graves and ethnic persecution account for that.

Yes he was a threat to Iraqis and that's why we are there but he wasn't a threat to my freedom. I just don't buy that excuse, all the more reason why I don't appreaciate people trying to force it upon me.



Then qualify the 'job' at hand in future reference as you just did.

I did.



I suppose the US had no right to defend Britain from the Nazis or the Communists; Lend Lease, stationing our fighters and bombers in Britain, fighting on the side of our 'Ally' and supporting it through efforts like the Marshall Plan or providing intelligence throughout the Falklands campaign??

wtf? That is a totally different situation, in WWII we were close to being invaded, and in the Falklands our territory was invaded, a breach of sovereignty is a threat to my freedom unlike Saddams regime.
Ok thanks for being on our side in WWII but it's not as if you had a choice, even more so in hindsight of the cold war.


You don't want US to champion your own liberties and freedoms??? We don't just act for our own wellbeing and You reject US in doing so...
:bash:

The US is not championing my liberties or my freedom, but it did in WWII.


To believe that your own liberties would never be jepardized through inaction while simultaneously allowing others to be denied their own shows your level of thought .....

no I never said I was against the action, in fact I said I supported it.
I.E. I am happy to help give the iraqis their freedom which is what the troops are doing but I don't accept that this war was about my freedoms.


I fully back the troops, british as well as all the other coalition troops, I just don't agree with Bush's view of good vs. evil. Or that this war is for us.

Thank you to have answered to my question but now I've an other question : what do you think about the french army (compared to UK or Germany...) ? (You still can answer to my first question)

Well, I think that the foreign legion is one badass unit of highly skilled soldiers (merceneries, more or less). In addition, I like to think that the regular army of France does a great job as well, but it has not received that much of 'real' assignments lately...

What comes to me liking France or not, I have no opinion of it either since I have no personal experience with anyone French, so at this time I assume them to be jolly good ol' folks that wish no one harm and live in eternal peace and harmony...

I haven't met or interacted with enough french to gain a detailed view of france as a nation, however.........
In my dealings with individuals i've found them to be arrogant, dismissive, unappreciative, verbose, tactless, vain, shallow, supercilious, selfish, untrustworthy, pompous and a little too wrapped up in themselves for their own good.

Now thats a general view gained from my experience with a number of individuals. Two examples of which;

On a thread a couple of months ago fantassin made the statement that New Zealanders loath france and that NZ's security services actively undermine french interests in the pacific and have done so for a 'long time'. When challenged he could not provide one shred of evidence to back up his suppositions, but instead started bleating about sheep(pardon the pun) and such forth. How original.

The second example is an outgoing ambassador a few years ago who launched a rather petty verbal attack on NZ in general. In true french political fashion he'd spent his time here sucking up to our goverment on all manner of issues only to insult our country and culture as he was leaving. As the highest ranking representative of your country in ours he set the example of what we as a nation could expext from france.

Kiwis in general don't hate france, we just hold you in contempt,
and why shouldn't we?.

Those are just the ones from northern europe. And yes they're not all in france, not quite all.......

Out of a population of about a million in 1914

102,438 Kiwis embarked for overseas service

10,870 were killed in action

3.950 died of wounds

59981 were wounded in action

75% of those casualties were sustained in europe.

YOU do the math little frenchmen.

And what have we received in return?....

Years of nuclear testing in the Pasific, in OUR back yard.

And a pathetic attempt at a 'covert action' which saw an unarmed man murdered and an unamed ship sunk in an, until then, friendly country.

Yeah, that was a fair trade.

There's bound to be a better side to france and some decent, likeably french people........logic tells me so.

I just haven't found them yet.

id like to go to France it looks really nice there. id like to tour around there and see old WW2 bunkers etc..but i dont understand french so it would be hard to do so. France has alot of history behind it and id like to learn more about it. i would also like to see the catacombs(sp)

thanks for your news answers!
but now, what do you think about our government (and still about our army and about our country)

[Sharp]

What I dont like about french:
1. The most french dont speak one word english, because they are too arrogantly.

And you, speak-you the French ? Or another language ? Polski, Arabic, Indian, Spanish... ? Yes ? No ? :)

If No so in can too say to you that you are "arrogant" ? hm ???
You think that *the french* is arragant, but have you already speak with a french man ? Know you a french man ?

The basic criticism is so much easier when one has nothing other to say… :)

[Kieran]

I know a few French guys from uni, and they have a massive inferiority complex (except one, he was cool :) ). Although I told them I loved French products and culture, they were adamant that everything French was the best in the world, cars, tv, food, drink, books... They would get visibly annoyed at the suggestion that say, Sony made better electronics.

I am not myself shallow enough to use this as an example pof the average French male, but it did leave a bad impression on me :| Hope all the French gusy on this forum can act like the true gentlemen I know you most likely are.

The French girls however... what fun! All I can say is they are cultured in all the right places p-)

[Pégase]

Sony made better electronics

:(
and what about Thomson-CSF or Sagem

That is a totally different situation, in WWII we were close to being invaded, and in the Falklands our territory was invaded, a breach of sovereignty is a threat to my freedom unlike Saddams regime.
Ok thanks for being on our side in WWII but it's not as if you had a choice, even more so in hindsight of the cold war.


What is your point?

You say imply that the US had no reason for invading Irag because Saddam was not a threat to us. But you know what? Hitler could not cross the English Channel, much less the Atlantic ocean.

It was only Japan that had a navy that could bring the war to the shores of the USA.

So by your reasoning, we should have just fought our war with Japan and left Europe alone.

ok let me make even more simplistic for you:

1. someone invades your allies you go to war.

2. hitler could easily have made his way across the channel if he had waited to start on russia and the Nazi would have made their way across the atlantic and at the very least attempt to invade.

and if not that a cold war between a nazi greater germany and other axis powers vs. isolationist US would have been very different particularly as hitler was the one you nicked the rocket scientist from.

now please tell me who saddam invaded? after the first gulf war to trigger this one off. What I'm saying is that I'm not against the war, but I do feel this whole talk of freedom bull**** false and I hate it when anyone says this war is to protect our freedom, iraqi freedom yes, but not ours.

The RAF had won air superiority over the UK. The Royal Navy blocked any invasion by sea. Nope, the best the the Germans could do was to try and make peace with the British. In fact, they tried that but Churchill threw Rudolph Hess into prison.

Now the UK would have been safe behind the Channel and the US would have been safe behind the Atlantic. Hitler and Stalin would fight each other and it is most likely that the Soviet Red Army would have rolled its tanks past Berlin to stop at the Atlantic sea coasts of Europe. Either way, it would not have been affecting the US much. Neither Germany nor the USSR had much of a navy and when it all comes down to it, we had the A-bomb by 1945.

IMHO, it probably would have been a good thing if we just let the Stalin take continental Europe. The Europeans turned hard Left back in the 1960's, the communists are in all the parliaments in Europe. So why bother fighting the Cold War in Europe for people who want communism?

The US got on Saddam for invading Kuwait back in 1990, then we went into Iraq and deposed him because we got tired of his playing "hide-n-seek" with the weapons inspectors.
Personally, I don't know why it matters that he invaded Kuwait all those years ago. So what if he has the Kuwaiti oil fields? The oil will still be for sale.

I always wonder why all non-french are so keen on history against us. I mean, WW1 and 2 for the US was just like playing only the 2nd half of the game. We took blitzkrieg right in face, you kept 3 years behind your beloved ocean studying the exact way to defeat the germans (which were don't forget almonst already on knees with the russians).
Let's start for the beginning of the history :
1 : do you know that the Gaules came INTO rome years before Caesar came to life. Btw 40 000 romans died against circa 900 000 for the Gaules, there was 6M inhabitants, make the count.
2 : barbares invaders : germans didn't exist, germany neither. Btw do you know that the current french are barbarians that went down from northern current germany and settled in current France?
3 : we did'nt give back Normandie, we gave them it for they stop invading and make the siege of paris (called normand for that reason), these vikings had invaded the whole europe (especially england) before Gaule.
4: Crecy : one fuc**** queen decided to mary an english king, and France would have been english without this war... btw we didn't win for no reason ! And i must say that at that moment there was NO army, jsut few thousands soldiers fighting localy with what they had.
I may had that without the french the whole europe would currently be muslim (remember Poitiers and Charles Martel (martel means hammer, his favorite weapon).
5 : Do you know why we fough Europe after the revolution ? Because there was kings who didn't want democraty at all (which means republic)...THEY invaded us.
6 : waterloo that's right i confess we got shot. Same for 1870.
7 : Versailles in 1919, your own president wanted the Societe des Nations, but your damn political system with a "regime predisentiel avec separation stricte des pouvoirs" made the congress refuse....did the US start the WW2 ?
8 : hitler to the power : democratic way, wanna add something ?
9 : polish held 3 weeks, us 4 months with 300 000 deads, and thanks to french british corps went back to england at dunkirk.
10 : Vietnam (Indochine), wanna add also ?
11 : talking about jesus, US are the only nation which learns her children that darwin was wrong and blame a school boy who said hell in classroom.

[Ratamacue]

11 : talking about jesus, US are the only nation which learns her children that darwin was wrong and blame a school boy who said hell in classroom.

Don't talk about what you don't know about. I've never once been told in school that Darwin was wrong. In fact, in every single life-related science class, I've been told the exact opposite and have been tested on Darwin's theory.

[Argyll]

There are individuals here who are acting like morons,bigots and racists,there are some here who have the gall to slag of another countries Armed Force,without ever having served their own country,I find it distastefull and disrespectful in putting up "so called Humerous" magazine covers,all I would ask you is wherever you're from,would you accept the same thing done to your countries Armed Forces?

For those that actually care,the French Armed Forces also respect their dead,they died for their Country,in numerous conflicts around the globe,the sacrificing of a life for ones countries should never be taken as humourous.

Please also remember that some posters are probably still classed as kids(Under 18),whilst some adults here are behaving like them.I,along with many others here are getting increasingly annoyed by a certain individuals continious barrage of insults,and Deep racial undertones,If it continues I will not hesitate to start censoring his posts.

I like the French, love the culture and French architecture, wine, history and landscape. Frnace has everthing, great painters, great food,,,, just everything. But, my beef with France is over the EU. Jaques Chiraq said "new members missed a good time to shut up" its clear we're not welcome under any terms but rather French terms. Gemans didn't say anything like that and they were against the war as well, but why did Chiraq? Yeah thats my only problem with the french. Besides that little problem I don't have a problem with the French.

I understand your opinion wholagun. Chirac said that you had to shut up because when the relation was bad weetwen usa and eu you had supported usa.

[BlackRain]

Your stats on American World War II military killed in action are incomplete.

Military: 291,557 KIA + 113,842 other causes = 405,399
MIA: WWII, the 78,000-plus missing in action (MIA) represent over 14 percent of the casualties.
Civilian: 6,000

Yeah it almost means that we can only be in the EU if we remain quite and don't say anything and accept everything that is done. Chiraq even said that he would not let us for, which made alot of people angry in Poland, Czech Rep Slovakia etc. I like France after all the French are the biggest investor in Poland with 12 billion Euros invested and many Poles live in France and many of our greatest peopled live/have lived in France for example Chopin, Mde Curie these two are the most famous but there have been many others.

You are right but he certainly said that because that's a strange attitude :
-you enter in the Europa in a few months (at this time)
-there is tension beetwen the majority of EU and USA : you choose USA

UK and Spain have done the same thing but not as they were coming in Europe.

[wholagun]

its not that Poland chooses USA over EU, not at all. In fact 70% of Polish people in Poland oppose the war in Iraq, the government sent the troops in despite overwhelming negative opinon of the war in Iraq.

Secondly, you have to understand that Poland has a close relationship with the US because we have 10 000 000 thats right 10 MILLION Polish people living in the United States, we need to have close relationship with them for that very fact. Polands population is about 40 in Poland 10 Million in US and about another 10 Million in Canada, Austrialia, Germany and other countries, that 60 million Poles world wide 20 million of which are outside the country,, so im sure you understand.

Thirdly, what do you mean by choose? We didn't choose the US over the EU, we choose the EU long ago, that is why weare joining the EU. Britain and Spain sided (not choose, I choose my words carefully) with the US and no one got mad, why is France mad at the new members for doing the same? By chosing you imply that we put our loyalities to one country when that is not fair at all. There is nothing wrong with being friends with the US and EU many countries in EU are friends with the US and the EU. Britain is close ally with US and is still part of the big three Germany, Britain and France.

[Fenna]

The reason France got mad is because France wants to be in charge of the EU, a superstate rivalling the USA, creating a state as powerful as France was under Napoleon. Chirac is also an arrogant bastard.

[Sixgun Symphony]

I explained it once, but some people are too dense to comprehend. I will explain it again.

The USA is fighting against terrorist enemies and the states that support those terrorists. The French have come out against the USA while supplying weapons and moral support to our enemies.

The French government and a large majority of the French people have behaved more like enemies than allies. All I can do at this point is to bait them with some anti-French humour. It seems to get a rise out of them, so I am having fun with it.

It reminds me of why the Brits don't have any rights to free speech in their country. One can go to jail in Britain for speaking their mind.

Just goes to show that we Americans are citizens while the Brits are still subjects.

Look mate, I don't like 99% of what your saying on the forums, but I respect your right to free speech here... just don't make posts with no factual basis, or about stuff that you don't know anything about. Britains doing just fine on the human right of free speech (except for the poor b*stards that have been locked up in prison without fair trial or access to a lawyer since Fuhrer Blunkett introduced those anti-terror laws). Keep on posting though, diversity in conversation is a vital ingredient. ;)

I doubt someone on TV would keep their job if they said something racist.

did a US sports comentator get the sack because he said something racist?

[von_Moo142]

To be censured is usually taken to mean to be punished or admonished.

But anyway...


Yes he has freedom of speech, and taking his show off the air doesn't affect that. He can still say whatever he wants, just not via that vehicle. Censorship would be a third party (i.e. not R K-S or the newspaper) supressing the article itself.

Like an internet forum, for example, the BBC expects a certain level of conduct from its employees. This is common with many companies.

Freedom to speak ones mind doesn't mean that one has a freedom from the consequences that this may cause.

Hope that clears it up for you... :-)

Shat Chirac wants embargos dropped against China so he can sell arms and put Taiwan in danger he also doesn't give two s$#@s about anyone but himself.

It amazes me that so many foreign countrymen died to make sure France was free but that's soon forgotten!

So any hatred I have towards the French is against the majority not the minority! :|

well , thanks to TOPICO-BACK ! this topic is rearmed :)

as you can see ,im french and new here ...
So my opinion is that :yes you delivered us from nazis but shall it be a eternal pressure on ours heads ?
by the way ,i thank UK boys for their great defense and allies to help us .

for iraq , i think that the big mental blast happened with the sears tower crunch was a detonator to begin the war but the " lets free iraq from saddam" ,wasnt ...
furthermore, it easily appears that iraq is an strategic oil target for USA and cause they can fight ,due to their over-all armies power ,they take or manage what they want ! ( it would surely be the same thing with another super-country like france with napoleon for example or cesar or hitler... )

For poland , i take act of your particular position and your trustworthiness honours your country BUT dont forget we are building Europe and a divided europe cant work ,properly ...

so , i think that both usa and france respect themselves but sometimes ,as a couple,there are contentions ... :bash:

hoping all will be back in order ...

3, When you say you forget nobody? is that in reference to the war graves of the fallen warriors that gave their lives so your Country would be free being defaced because those arse's sure knew where to find them!
