Does France suck?

The only thing that I can think of that's bad with the French is that they have a history of being wussies. And it hurts my ears when someone with an incredibly thick French accent tries to speak English.

Other than that, nothing wrong with them.

Democracy was invented by the Athenians. Not the French. That is the one thing that irratated me about that movie.

The French gave us Joan of Arc, Napoleonic warfare, and a whole mess of really great words in our language (half of it descends from the French-Latin lexicon, the other from the Anglo-Saxon-Germanic lexicon).

The French have had a pretty successful military history.

Here's one you might have heard about... Napoleon? Conquered most of Europe.

The Franks were the mainstay of the crusades, which took and held a large swathe of the Levant in the face of almost constant assault for decades.

They won the Hundred Years War eventually...

France was a military Juggernaut during the Ancien Regime, probably the dominant power in the 18th century.

And lets not forget the French had an extensive empire including much of modern day USA!

What exactly is the difference between an human and another human?

Then, what's the difference between france and America?

In essence, both are human beeings. Ok...there is an accent, language, tastes and weight difference..BUT WHO CARES


I dont support France. I Dont support my own country at this either. Why support and screw countries because they are...countries?

What kind of generalisation is this? Collusion happens in any conquered nation. The French resistance were both heroic and effective to the best of their ability, which I'm sure far outweighs any collusion on the part of a minority of French people. Anyway, other countries (for example the Netherlands) were conquered and, of course, a minority of their population colluded too! Do you hate them as well? What about the Poles? Or the Czechs? Or the Belgians?

No actually, I came to this on my own. France was decent when under say, a monarchy or some such, but the last hundered years or so? France has turned it's back on others. In WW2 many actually welcomed and HELPED the Nazis wih rounding up Jews and others that were being persecuted. Not all, but quite a few nonetheless. Also, note how I did not insult those that support France, I was merely asking if there still were, at least on here. So please try and stay half-way civilized when attmpting to make a point.

okay 3 wars, but the world wars don't count, their team won but they were conquered, and maybe that helps France's rep but in this argument all I said were that France won only 2 wars, now I'm corrected its 3.

Civil War, War of 1812, Spanish-Ameerican War, Korean War, Gulf War, WWI, WWII, and the Revolutionary War have all been won by Americans or with major contributions by America.

You can't win a Civil War, the War of 1812 is debatable, but I believe it was won by the Canadians/British, if you won the Gulf War you wouldn't be back there, we're leaving out the World Wars by order of Static Ice, and I have no idea what the Revolutionary war is (do you mean the American Revolution? Where you won your independence from Britain?).

It doesn't work that way. It was Northern US vs Southern US, so the US HAD to win. There was no way the US could lose.
