a friend of mine was hosting a french foreign exchange student a couple years ago. when I asked him why the french seem to have a wild hair up their butt when it comes to americans he said that those people are usually found in paris.. and he also said that the rest of france thinks that people in paris are idiots too.
although I do have to agree that most of the french people I have come across are rude and stuck up. there were the few that acted like real people, but as for most of them... grow some balls!
You can have my freedom as soon as I'm done with it!!!
