The French have never defeated anyone but themselves. Raise their children on rancid wine, moldy cheese, and slugs.
They hate those that saved them many times, love those that want to destroy and eliminate their culture.
If it were not for their vote in the U.N. No One would listen to them!

The French from France (I will refer to them here as "Frenchies" for speed purposes, because there are also french-speaking people from other countries which differ incredibly from the "Frenchies".) would appear to have issues with everyone else except themselves. Well maybe not on an official level, nor would any single individual publicaly admit to this, but Frenchies would seem to suffer from what I would refer to as a superiority complex.
The Frenchies have always hated Americans, calling them idiots, barbarians, whatever. Yet at the same time, the modern Frenchie culture has embraced anglicisms within their daily speach, such as refering to African-Americans as "blacks" in that particular english word (instead of the french word "noir"). Modern frenchie culture also has adopted "hip-hop" music, more so since the mid to late 90s. Other examples could be posted.
The Frenchies also appear to "snob" other french speaking cultures, such as us Quebecois (french-speaking Canadians from Quebec). The refer to us as barbarians on a regular level, humiliate and tease us when Quebequers visit France, and think they have so much culture to offer us poor un-civilised half-breeds. They move into the province of Quebec thinking they can bring their culture and ways of life since they think we do not have any. If I were to move to the USA, I wouldn't expect to keep living like a Canadian, I would adapt to the American lifestyle... So why can't they?
Basically I am not trying to bash the Frenchies, as my own personnal issues are towards the human race, not one nation in particular. But since I have had the mispleasure of living in (too) close quarters with Frenchies over the years, I have had first-hand experience with their particulat and unique type of snobism and superiority. Basically it would seem as if there is no pleasing them whatever one does, and they will always have something negative to say about almost any other culture which is not theirs.
Alot may be prejudice or bigotry, but some may be based on truths.

Your first answerer is why the rest of the world sees some Americans as idiots.
Not just the French people either.

I must wonder how many Americans you know personally. We are a very likable group and have done much for the French . I have a feeling not all share your view .

Now I know why the Germans conquered you twice .
You shoot off your mouths instead of your guns .
Too bad you are a 3rd world country with delusions of grandeur, once you were great .
But ,that was 200 yrs ago.

one thinks again we have someone who never travel and nothing in life but a sad little computer at her finger,
The French as a whole are a lot more mature than what you are trying to paint a picture of,
That's one great aspect of them. they love life not hate people! silly little girl.
have a good life , when you get one!
