10 REASONS TO HATE THE FRENCH
1. The 1936 Olympics – the French were the only team to solute Hitler as they walked by.
2. October 23, 1983 United States Army personnel lost their lives as a result of a suicide truck bombing at the US Army Barracks in Beruit, Lebanon. When the United States asked the French permission to use their airspace to fly over for retaliation in Lebanon, the French declined, causing American Pilots to fly all the way around France for their bombings. Its too bad the American pilots were so tired on those bombing runs they also mistakenly bombed the French Embassy J
3. Airline security noticed that Shoe-Man was a suspicious sort and called in the authorities, who detained him for questioning.
They found out:
*He had no identification other than his freshly issued passport.
*He could provide no permanent address.
*His bullshit story about why he was only carrying a tote bag was that he was travelling to his family's home and 'he had clothes there'...now whether or not he couldn't provide a phone number or address or was not asked to provide that info is unclear, but the fact is his story was not checked.
*His handbag contained nothing but a magazine and a copy of the Quran.
Despite all of this, the Frogs said, " Well zis all looks good to me!"
4. World War II – France was taken over without a fight, and France is a big country. In addition, they basically rounded up all the Jews and gave them to the Germans saying, “Here they are, leave us alone.” If this isn't the biggest example of a wimp giving a playground bully a present so he won't get thumped, I dunno what is. It’s like every five seconds they start some shit with Germany and expect us to clean it up. Well, they may not have noticed, but we have our OWN BS to deal with.
5. When Paris was finally liberated by the ENGLISH and the Americans (grudgingly admitted by us, credit where it's due and all that), they INVENTED stories about how French people rose up and kicked the Germans from the city themselves. Despite what you've heard from the French, most of them didn't join the resistance. That is except when the war was over, at which point thousands claimed to have fought the Germans tooth and nail, when in fact the worst they did was serve the occupiers abnormally small portions of foie gras.
6. French film snobs. If their movies are so good, how come they need import quotas on American films to keep our decadent films with -- what are they called again? Oh, that’s right, -- “plots” out of their country?
7. Hygiene, baby, hygiene. The French daily, Le Figaro, reported some horrifying facts in a hugely comprehensive survey of the nation which believes it is the most refined. Here you go: Even though 96% of the French have showers in their homes, only 47% bathe every day. Only 60% of Frenchmen change their underwear daily. Only half of the respondents say that they use deodorant. Per capita the French buy only 4 or 5 bars of bath soap a year. And only 60% of Frenchmen regularly wash their hands after going to the toilet. Six percent said they never washed their hands. Now, I am no number-cruncher but just looking at my Venn diagrams here it seems a sizable number of French people -- say maybe 25% -- go without changing their underwear, bathing, washing their hands, or using deodorant in a 24 hour period. Class.
8. The French worship Jerry Lewis.
9. During the 1972 Olympics in Germany, 8 Terrorist kidnapped and killed 11 Israelis during the games. The French authorities gained intelligence as to who was behind the plot of this act, however, because of the fear of retaliation, the French refused to turn in the terrorist who planned the killings.
10. They claim to be the world's greatest lovers... hell, anyone can bugger a small boy, but a Frenchman would try to seduce him first.
Yep.
Sadly, it's just too familiar.
I believe that is Dashel's wife.
There's a lot of good french-americans, so shut up. Why don't you go to Louisiana and say that to some cajuns and see what happens to you?
These guys all yell Allah Akbar before they commit mahem. Hearing someone shout this is not a good sign.
Umm, yeah. Get your facts straight.
all this antisemitism - maybe they should not have allowed "the passion" on their screens after all...
The French are probably saying " well it was just a Jew, no big deal".
They're not fact, they're insults, something the French are good at.
LOL!..too funny. :)) ..the rest seem to be true.

Let me tell you something, there's been WAY more "incidents" than they are saying.
Odd how these murderers tend to immediately flee the scene after doing their "heroic" deed.
Excuse me I fully agree. Just didn't think as well as you did.
