France has been the target of many (political) jokes in modern history by America, and frankly, I don't understand it. Not that I love France or anything like that, and I know it's fun sometimes to rip on other countries. The obvious stereotype is that they're cigarette-smoking snoody people in berets playing the accordion in an outside cafe. But I'm just curious. I'd like to know why there is such tension between our two countries that have never really messed with one another since the French and Indian War (well, North Africa, if you count the traitorous WWII Vichy French as real French). Is it because of our Anglo roots? Because I know the English hate them. |

No offense, but some of (not all, but some) you guys are overly stereotypical and/or do not know your history. After the Revolution, the king and queen of France were revered by the Americans for helping them to successfully win the war of independence. However, during the French Revolution, not only did the French people give rebellions a bad name, but they also killed the king and queen. Later on, during the XYZ Affair, France treated Americans who were sent to make peace with such hostility that almost everyone except the President grew angry at France and wanted war. Sure, Napoleon sold the Louisiana Purchase area to us, but it was only because he needed money to try to take over the world--the same attempt as Hitler. Do you guys like Hitler? No. Well, then there is a reason why the US did not like Napoleon Bonaparte, hmm? And no, the French do not eat snails--at least not all. And who cares, we eat turkeys! The Chinese eat wild cats! The English drink tea! BIG DEAL! |

I think the french guys are very cute and I love their accents. They also have great fashion sense. |

same i know some french people and they are very friendly people. However it's depicted now they have a stuck up attitude which I disagree with. It's just another stereotype |
