How Many People Who Hate the French Have Actually ever Been There?
Ali G asked:
I lived there for a year, had a great time, and all of the non-tourist Americans, Brits, Aussies, and Canadians I met had a saying.

“Cool people have a cool time with the French”.
Do you agree?
To follow up.
Most French admire Americans very much. Our popular culture is everywhere there. They just despise the backwoods cowboy hick swagger stuff. And I agree.
Also, I was constantly embarrassed by the rude Americans there. Not everyone, but quite a few. The French are right to treat them rudely in kind.
lkarl K - By “cool” I mean being respectful in a foreign country, maybe even learning the language a bit, and not running around like a loud mouthed American jerk in public and treating the place like a theme park. Know what I mean? Probably not.
