Okay, obviously, you guys know where I hijacked the idea from. Anyway, background information:
I'm like 25% French or something, but I live in America. So, don't ask me about the policies of France. Just ask me about all those things that you hate about French people, and maybe we can get to the bottom of this hatred of the French people, please.

Questions?

Why do the French not pronounce all the consonants in their language?

Why is French a popular language to learn in many American schools...despite it's used mainly in only Canada and France?

Because for some reason, France is tied with romance, and sappy teen girls dig a guy who can speak French.

I really, really, really, really, really dislike Spanish. And no, that has nothing to do with my prejudice against Mexicans, for the kids I went to high school with being such jerks. Nothing at all.

German is better, but not by that much. French is really pretty, and I like the French culture ever so much better than the others.

Ok, fine, I'll ask you another question. Why are the French a bunch of peace loving hippies who hate America for preemptive strikes against a country that never harmed us?

How can you judge a people by the acts of their nation? Are all Iraqis evil dictators? And it's not so much that the French hate America, it's just that they know they're right. American knows she's right. Every country knows they are right. It looks bad when France ended up being right all along. (By the way, you're not French, you're Austrian.)

I thought the question was sufficiently sarcastic enough to register the fact that I side with the French on this one.

I'm actually not Austrian, my family was, but I plan on studying in France this spring, so.... eh, I lost my train of thought.

How about another question, why does French pawn Spanish so very much?

Do you mean "pwn"?

I'd like to stop here and point out something. People criticize France for giving up so much land to Germany. Germany is a militarist state, always has been. If you bordered a militarist state, how long do you think you'd last? Germany did the same damn shit to Poland, why don't they get a bad wrap? It's easy to beat the Germans if they have to cross a sea to get to you and you've got the best Navy. The Germans were beating everyone on the ground in both wars. It just so happened to be that France is the country they border. If France was on the island and England where France is, England would've lost territory too...

Yes, I dodged your question. I don't like talking about why one group of people is better or not better than another group of people. It's childish.
