Who are the classic France haters?
Didn't quite know where to put this one... this place seems appropriate.
Me and a few of the boys were discussing this over poker the other night whilst half-cut, and we couldn't quite work out who hates the french the most (a little TIC). We came up with these options:
1. The English - hated them first, so to speak. But then again that is long ago and they have been allies for a long time. Question: Do the English really hate anyone or is it all just some sort of "rivarly between gentlemen"?
2. The Germans - created a nation state based on hating France and invaded France several times, sometimes even purely for the sake of doing so. Have however recently been seen being very friendly towards the French. Question: Genuine change or Plan B?
3. The Americans - currently most vocal France haters, but still fairly new in the hating France business. Owe their nation to the French. Question: Do they even know what France is?
4. The French themselves - reelected Jacques Chirac with 82%. Question redundant.
