While I don't love France I do have close family connections there.

the French Revolution was bad-ass

and French people are nice

7/14/2010 1:33:27 AM

i like france

i LOVE french food

i love french movies

the language is pretty

i love les mis and the soundtrack and singing it even though i suck at singing

i love saying "les poissons les poissons hee hee hee ho ho ho"

i like pierre escargot:


they helped a sister out during the american revolution

then they thought we were ultra cool and wanted their own revolution

i liked reading democracy in america by de tocqueville (/nerd)

the Statue of Liberty is green

The only reason I love France is because it is so far away

7/14/2010 5:55:32 AM

^^^Holy shit, I haven't been reminded of All That in ages.

I loved that show.

i totally may watch this today (european vacation)

7/14/2010 8:28:42 AM

I greatly dislike France.

7/14/2010 9:53:25 AM

what I love love love love love love love

is that anyone/everyone can talk about how they don't like France/the French, and it's all good...almost expected

yet if somebody were to say "I don't like black people" that would be offensive

<3 double standards

7/14/2010 10:10:34 AM

That's because "French" isn't a race.

7/14/2010 10:16:50 AM

okay, "I don't like Ghana. Fuck Ghanians."

but well, I see your point, I think...disliking a country is one thing...disliking a whole continent is a different thing entirely

I do wonder why everybody hates the French, tho.

7/14/2010 10:17:10 AM

And that's completely acceptable. They're awful at penalty kicks, and a disgrace to their entire continent.

7/14/2010 10:19:18 AM

this is indeed one of the most half-assed PKs I have ever seen

Okay, how bout this: I don't like "Canadians."

Is that better?

7/14/2010 10:27:57 AM

I like france.

However, it would be a much better country if it wasn't full of french people.

I'm still bitter that I took 7 years of french prior to college. Not taking spanish may be my biggest regret in life.

7/14/2010 10:55:04 AM

^
sounds like you have lived a pretty wise life then

7/14/2010 11:27:37 AM

yea i'm happy that i took all the french i did. i want to take more after i take the bar exam.

my dad almost had me convinced that not taking spanish was a huge mistake until i discovered that most of the international things i want to do require FRENCH and english or french and/or english.

odd

but i like being right
