G-spotter Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 It looks pretty slabby but who knows what's on the other side. Quote
AlpineK Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 From comments I heard while in France it sounds like the French don't think much of French-Canadians Quote
G-spotter Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) From comments I heard while in France it sounds like the French don't think much of French-Canadians From comments heard in Britain it sounds like the English hate what the Americans have done to our common tongue as well. But that has nothing to do with dudes who give their ex-wives boulders! From the pic it looks like she may already own some boulder holders? Edited August 16, 2011 by G-spotter Quote
murraysovereign Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 From comments I heard while in France it sounds like the French don't think much of French-Canadians From comments I've heard in all my travels pretty much anywhere, ever, nobody anywhere thinks much of the French. Hell, even the French don't like the other French - North, South, East, West, they all look down their noses at les autres. The only thing they can all get together on is their universal hatred of Parisiennes. Quote

From my travels the french are generally insular and thats the major compliant about them. The women are hot, flexible, and put out. It's the loud drunk Brits (110% of them), the obnoxious Germans(err, all of them), and the rich Russians "spek Roooshian", and the Han Chinese who think they are "fah superior" that people really hate these days. From Quebecois the French and the Swiss don't think they are part of the same culture; some Quebecois (like these who'd moved to Switzerland) don't think of themselves as Canadian (and really, if you had money, would you want to be Canadian? It's pay for not gay) Quote

j_b Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) anti-French xenophobia is so 2003. also kinda rich to read an Anglo-Canadian concur with the idea the french don't like Quebecois (likely not true on average btw) considering the common complaint of Quebecois being 2nd class citizen in western Canadian states.

G-spotter Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 Have you ever SEEN or HEARD a Quebecois and a Francais put in the same place? The sniping is constant. Her: "We don't say that in French." Him: "I'm speaking French you stupid bitch!" Quote
AlpineK Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 French folks laugh at Quebecois. "They don't speak French." or Les Quebecois ne parle pas Francios Quote
j_b Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I don't doubt some french laugh at the accent of Quebecois but in my experience the French love Quebec. First, many give great import to the loss of Canada to the Brits and claim it to be a major turning point in history (the dawn of the English century, and the dusk of the french one). Cultural and political exchanges are very common, Quebecois TV shows and news are numerous on the French language channel, I also seem to recall the French have an idyllic vision of Quebec found in songs, etc. Quote

G-spotter Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 Bill, if you were a Canadian I'd emigrate. Quote

Many dislike our politics and what it does to them but often Americans are said to be easy going, unpretentious, congenial, .. so my guess is that it's more of a mixed bag of emotions. Quote

Israeli's aren't well loved either. Quote

You have no idea what you are talking about. The French think they are dirty, illiterate, hillbillies. Too be fair Parisians think everyone not from Paris is a dirty illiterate hillbilly. And French mountains towns are like every other mountain in the world where someone who moved there 2 months ago is convinced everyone else is inferior and they've mastered all of its secrets. Quote
akhalteke Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Yo, Harpell: YO JB, shove that finger in my cornhole while you fellate me; you leg humping asshat. Quote

j_b Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 YO JB, shove that finger in my cornhole while you fellate me; you leg humping asshat. Hmm, no. I don't do that stuff. You'd better count on your boyfriends to do it for you. Quote
