disons que les experiences menées, notamement lors de la coupe du monde 98 (souvenez vous la france contre l'uruguay en 8e, merci president !) n'ont franchement pas du tout été concluantes, elles ont plutot laissé un gout amer, c comme un coup du sort qui ne laisse aucune chance a l'autre équipe, le but en or était vécu comme une forme d'injustice, on a aussi essayé apres le but en argent… puis on c'est finalement rendu compte que notre bonne vieille formule classique était encore la meilleure !!!

I love them!\nAnd I so respect them, I find them really nice when they come to my country. aka Egypt/Cairo.\n\nBut I feel sorry cause they have a bad image about our country and that it's a beautiful country but not safe.\n\nI think the exact contrary.\n\nI totally believe that my country is very safe.\nYou don't get robbed in the middle of the night, you don't get a bunch of killers attacking you and taking all of your stuff. These things just don't happen here and if they do occur, they are extremely RARE!\nThe only thing that happens and me, myself have never experienced to be in such a situation is the (Bombing Attacks) that occurs in Tourist areas. Such as: Sharm El-Sheikh and Dahab.\nAnd I believe that in every country in the world have these kinda attacks. From the great USA to a country just like mine (A Third World Country)... \nIn Paris, London, Lebanon...\nJust everywhere a person can go anything can happen to him/her and if we costumed our lives upon (This or That) (Bad things might happen to me, so NO I won't go out) then we shall never survive and would prefer locking ourselves in a dark room! Not even in our own house "Secured". Cause that too might get attacked! Don't you think!!!!!!\n\nBut over all to answer your question again,\nI love it when I watch Tourists visiting my country.

The French.  The country as a whole is not only arrogant, overconfident and ungrateful, but extremely hypocritical. There is the freakishly strong socialist government that, despite the protests and riots, the French seem to love, evident by the sheer number of civil servants. But what it really comes down to is that the French as a whole, have a pathetic work ethic.  The 35 hour work week, one of the lowest, if not the lowest in Europe, cripples the French production capabilities.  The job for life means that no matter how bad of an employee you are you can't be fired.  Anyone who has ever had to work with a French government agency, even as simple as the post office, knows that it takes absolutely ages to get anything done, because of the huge volume of paperwork that accompanies everything, and the fact that the employees work excruciatingly slow.  In the end though, France has so many problems, it hardly matter what their biggest problem is! FYI - the April 1st Economist had some interesting articles about this very question.

Comment allez vous ? How are you ?

Faut pas généraliser ! C'est vrai quand-même que beaucoup d'Américains ont une opinion sur tout sans bouger de leur sofa..FoX TV is GOD !\n\nIt's a love- hate relationship. When I read above - forgot the name , fitzstg- immediately the book "60 million Frenchmen can't be wrong" came to my mind...and it was linked as a source !\n\nBoundaries..what is personal and what is not..we have different notions. People do not understand this concept.\nI would never ever say "I hate such and such nationality" myself. I might dislike a mentality but the person comes first.\n\nIn my view, Americans tend - ON THE WHOLE - to view things as black and white/wrong- right. No shades of grey, no in-between. If you look up answers here, most tend to be : no way or yes....not "depends on the situation..etc".\n\nEuropeans view life and human beings as much more complex than than. Germany and France were enemies for such a long time.....but now they certainly are NOT.\n\nI think some Americans should see what life is all about in Europe. Coming from Northern France, we all look and have respect towards each other. Germans and French will put flowers on cemetaries and we all respect each other. The past is the past. I have yet to view or hear about confrontations between the French and German folks in "sensitive" areas.\n\nI hate those stereotypes too.....especially those which are offending and totally wrong and made from ignorant people on top of that.\n\nForget the stupid people. I have met enough absolutely brilliant, charming, open-minded anglo-saxon people !\n\nThere are always things to learn from another culture too !\n\nYou know..at the end I still don't know !! What I have noticed is that the media in North America is still very much conservative. OK I'm a girl (well..no more) but when I pick up magazines for women from the US.......so boring..the French ones: at least stg interesting !!\n\nBy the way : British people are not stuck up at all !!\n\nNope..I like Americans anyway :-). They have a zest for life, they can be brilliant..Pity too many are "child-like" and not very world-wise and kind of stuck in the past as well ?? Don't forget : so many just do not travel at all and just watch stupid propanganda TV.\n\nBut are the French better ?? On some things yes..but not all ! They are the same : too many think - old generations anyway - that they are better than the rest of the world..NOT ! and say the same things "I hate Americans, Brits etc" without knowing any actually !\n\nBon cela va être à mon tour de me faire crucifier. Il y a plein de cons partout : en France, en Amérique, partout..\n\nPS.. and I do not know what is so good about Frenchmen..either !! Just another stereotype among others. Frenchmen are no better than any other nationalities at all :-))) EH EH !

You're cute to ask this question. I also feel bad about reading such insulting comments. I think that there are very mixed feeling between French and American people. I read that this sometimes difficult relationship is due to the fact that both countries have a more universalist culture than others, which explains that international positions are very important in both countries and that opposition between them is often very harsh.\n\nI think criticizing each other can be a mean to improve for both countries, but only if everybody recognize the qualities of the other and if people stop insulting each other. Insults are just stupid and useless

New Zealnaders rather like you Canadians: you make polite guests, and you have charming accents. We share a lot in common, such as government and hatred for all Americans :), and we are both quiet acheivers in international politics. \n\n We don't like the fact that you still have French people, and have stopped playing international cricket and rugby, though. :)

I was born in France, personally I have no opinion of the US. It's got a nice standard of living, certainly the best in the world.

I am originally French, although I never lived in France until recently. Well, I think the reason why people think so is that the French are very vocal when it comes to love and sex.\n\nOne time I was taking a walk in the park and I hear loud voices arguing and screaming hateful words at each other. I rushed in the direction of the fight and there was this couple who were screaming at each other because she caught him cheating at her. \n\nAll of the sudden he slaps her and she jumps on him and they tumble in the bushes. I rushed to break up the fight to realise that the fight has changed into another form of fight and now they were both screaming out of ecstasy! \n\nFrom that day on I kept my distance from arguing French couples! lol\n\nBy the way, French men have the highest rate of infidelity in Europe and perhaps in the world!

I like the toast.  Lol.  I've only met one French person, and she was really nice.  She was an exchange student in my high school.  She was friendly, and outgoing, she even played on the volleyball team.  I try not to form opinions about people I don't know. :P
