The problem with France and the French, and I speak the language and have been to school there, is that the best of them got killed in WW1, and WW2. The ones that were left to breed included some beautiful women, but the men, well, they’re short on some qualities.

I studied French for three years in High School and in College, and didn’t have a lot of opportunities to use it. That was many years ago.

Now I deal with French speakers frequently, and can only remember the odd phrase here and there.

That's the problem with the human species..unlike the animal species who do the opposite....we kill off our best and allow the weak to breed!

In WWI, they went toe-to-toe with the Germans. I think that’s where they lost a large percentage of their male population - in the trenches.
