James said:No, i think it is more their incredibly boring insuffrable egos that is hard to put up with. I see no reason given their history why the French seem to think being French is something to particulary be proud of.
Allthough I agree with the annoying French ego...there's not much to be proud of being an American either, historically speaking...though most of them I met think their country is the greatest. Well, seeing anything related to the USA after WWII is nothing really to be proud of...but you will always find an ugly period in any nations history. As the European history is a lot older than the American, you will of course find more of those periods...but that goes for all European nations, not just French. The English history isn't anything to be proud of either...
As for every nations, there are idiots everywhere, no matter were they are from, and it's absolutely not representative for the whole nation.
By the way, NYs Lady Liberty is French...mad by the same guy who built the Eiffel tower...
