Why do the French hate Americans and Vice Verse?
 

I never got caught up on the history of why the French and Americans hate each other so much. I was at the voting poll this weekend and heard a group of guys behind me bashing the French. I know that we've stood side-by-side through two World Wars and fought together so why such a hatred now?

The French helped us win the Revolutionary War. We helped the French beat the Germans, twice. So why all the hatred?

I know there are some French and French Canadians here along with Americans so can any of you tell me what sparked this hatred? It really escapes me but then again, I'm not nailed to any news network 24-7 so I may have missed something.

Americans hate the French? I think it's just the image that they are weak. Hate wise, I think it's more worldwide due to the way the French and Americans act. Like if you screw up trying to talk French they turn into douches about it. And most Americans are just assholes that think they rule the world.

Some yr ago I shared a cab in Paris with 2 coeds from the US

We passed the Eiffel Tower. There was a big banner on it saying 2010. She asked the cabdriver if that was the year they would tear it down

The French won't let Bush walk all over them.

That probably has a lot to do with it.

More power to them I say:2 cents:

Snobs hate slobs and slobs despise snobs

we don't hate them.. we just don't respect them. hell, they don't even seem to respect themselves.

Whereas a quick stroll in Vegas, your location, will clearly demonstrate Americans are masters of self respect.

:2 cents:

The French are the main reason American EXISTS. It's unfortunate that citizens don't know that.

Yeah they save the right to walk on them for the Germans then bitch about the people that rescued them 2 times.

Also as for them helping us in the revolutionary war it was after we won the french American war so not sure if they think they still owe us for that one.

On a side note I have a French WW2 rifle for sale never fired and only dropped once.

I am a Texan that lives in Vegas right now.

Your version of respect is visual... our version of respect is pride.

You can never understand that. Only real men can. I don't know you, but I know you got bullied growing up. All you pussies turn out the same. Now go lick your girlfriends hairy arm pit.

My Grandfather moved from France to the US in 1959. All my french relatives love it here and want to stay when they come to visit.

I live a few miles from the French Quarter. If Napoleon wasn't such a douche we still might belong to France down here. But he was only interested in this place (port of NO) because it was right next to Haiti which he was trying to conquer. However, the mosquitos on the island quickly spread disease to the frenchies who were not immune and they all died and they lost. And so Napoleon eventually went ahead and the Louisiana Purchase was made.

If you don't know the history of that, you are missing a major part of how the USA came to be what it is today.

So you can thank shorty. And hate Napoleon all you want, he kicked a lot of ass.

No one hates France. We just don't respect them. Why do you always make it seem like hate? I mean, hate is when frenchies deface American tombstones.

I am not French.

Lived in France for a while, but not as long as I lived in the US or the UK, Mexico, Thailand...

Wouldn't mind licking a French girls armpit though, now that you bring it up :thumbsup

Everyones loves Americans
- thank you American pervs for buying so much porn on the internets
- thank you American fatties for buying so many weight pills and stupid diet ebooks
- thank you American limp dicks for buying so many penis pills
....


Thank you American consumerism,
with love from smart webmasters!

hairy pits make baby jesus cry.

why do so many American webmasters have their location filled out? Could it be because they are proud of where they are from? /root/

Why do so many American kids post most intimate details on myspace ? Could it be because they are proud of who they are ?

No worries, I'm proud of you (Americans) too. :)

Recently it was the French Ambassador to the UN who got the ire of the US because he dared state common sense in the face of the obvious single-minded desire of the US to wage a unilateral campaign vs. Iraq.

:error

When I went there, the french were nothing but nice to me. I had spoke to a few and they mentioned they dont like the politics of the US. Not US citizens as a whole.

I think most people just hate the french because they think they hate us.

true, true. I think hate might not be the appropriate term here though. I don't imagine people spending their time hating on others (well, generally speaking).

yeah and ts like some twisted jealous thing.

the French and Americans love each other. Really. :1orglaugh

even when they fight, its like a married couple. France is probably the bitch though.

If you can form an opinion on an entire group of people based soely on geographic location there is something very wrong inside of you. In the end you are only cheating yourself, while giving anyone who wants to control you a powerful tool for manipulation.

whats not to love about the french..

i only love the greeks more for introducing ass sex to the world...

I'm not American (but will be soon!) and I hate the French. Wasted like 8 years studying the language when I realized that I hate it. There's something to them that I don't like.

The congress renamed the french fries freedom fries.

After France told the US they were wrong on the WMDs (wich they were), tourism from americans has gone down 80 % in france.

When a good ally and a friendly country tells you you are wrong on something, like any good friends would do, and you reject them that way, there is clearly something wrong about your attitude.

Without the french we would of lost the revolutionary war. They were with us in Vietnam and the first iraq war. And if it wasnt for the Russians we would of lost the ww2, 50 million Russians died fighting in that war.

first of all the french are snobby. Anyways yes we helped then out in WWI and WWII and those generations are thankful. Where it got fucked up is they were in Viet Nam for 10 year then bailed. They told us "Don't go in there you can't win" We said "Fuck off Frechy all you know how to do is lose wars. We know how to win" Well we all know they they were right about Viet Nam and we are a bit pissed about that and they are pissed at us for not listening.

Dont get politics and public opinions mixed here
The decision wasn't taken based upon what the French people wanted

"Don't go in there you can't win"
that wasnt it, they said, "don't go in there, you wont find any weapons of MD"

exactly
looks like lotta people have selective memory here

racist prick! :321GFY

I worked at a bar next to this very high end french restaurant and a bunch of the guys working there would come hang out after work. They were french and what a nice bunch of guys. We had many laughs and boy did they love to drink. lol

I didn't know that VIET NAM had WMDs back in the 50's and 60's. Hey tard next time try keeping up.

BTW, French canadians and French from France is like americans and English from England... Not the same culture. they do however share the same language, with huge difference in accent ( like USA and UK)... Just saying...

I'm not a hater either way. I think France and USA share something in common: they stand up for what they think is right while a lot of other countries just prefer keeping low profile not to piss off Amricans or Europeans. This is exactly why these 2 nations have a love/hate relationship throughout the history.

missed the message
nevertheless, calling me a tard?
calling them snobby? lol how many frenchies do u know?

Well you are a tard when I'm CLEARLY talking about Nam and you tell me I'm wrong by bnring up bring up IRAQ. Which had ZERO to do with what I'm talking about. Go and try to learn about some history adn you'll see I'm am correct.

the french like people?!

read again fuck face, i said u were right, i skipped down too fast, thought the convo was about irak still
jeez what a moron

Exactly. I think the real resentment begin when Washington choose not to back the French in their own war against the Brits.

I don't think the average American hates the French. However it's been part of the whole Hardcore Right Wing hate machine to continuously bash the French and anything they equate to Socialism. So it trickles down to the sheep aka the typical liberal hating Hardcore Right Wingers.


Thinking that means Americans as a whole or even the majorty is wrong IMO. It's a select group, they same types that would likely be KKK members 50 years ago.

THE MEATMEN - "French People Suck"

French people suck
I just gotta say
Made the jet fighter pilots
Go out of their way
Hating Yankees too much
Those beret-headed nuts.
They can stick the Eifell Tower
Straight up their butts.

Last time I flew Air France
Played a tune on my Uzi
And made the sissies dance.
Killed a hundred or more
And I had a ball.
Those freakin' frog suckers
Be the death of us all.


French people suck.
French people suck.
French people suck.
French people can suck my...

Sadly, I couldn't find a video on youtube of this...:(

French love Americans & Americans love French
Of course you can find some people hating the others but as an overall it's like that !

I've been many times in the US, when I was speaking French (as I'm from Belgium) I did not feel any hate... One time we were lost in Nappa Valley and asked to a girl in a bar she was really nice and pleasant and was really happyto meet some froggies ! (even if we were not French...)

French are sometimes (often ?) grumpy ! But not only with americans, with everybody...

Texas is bigger than France, thats why.

1 word: propaganda. The US government made a portion of the sheep in the US hate France. Those people dont even know why, they just do because it was fed to them throug the propaganda machine. Freedom fries... jesus christ.
Add that up to the arrogance of both countries and it clashes.

Are they still called freedom fries in the states?
