Only Americans pick on the french that much (yeah, the english as well, but not to the same degree)
I think Americans don't like the fact that the french act so superior around Americans, specially when Americans think they are the greatest thing under the sun: so they find everything they can that could be construed as somewhat offensive about the French (german victory in 6 weeks, an 'effeminite' character to french men) and then run with it.
The problem is that the French do have a lot to act superior about, even around Americans.If you don't like reality, change it! me

and where would you move?
What bothers me most is the royalities... I simply just don't like 'em (not necesarily the persons...just the title...and what the title gives to the persons with the title)... You hear about those royal people EVERY SINGLE DAY
And the second worst thing is the people...99% of the Danes wants to "get something" before they "Give something" (Though I don't know if there's that much difference in other countries... but I hope so)
This was just the two worst problems about this place...well...three if you count the climate problem too...
And where would I move? I'm about 90% certain it will be to California, though I have given some thoughts about other (non American) places too...(Like Italy)This space is empty... or is it?

I AM PROUD TO BE SPANISH.
Because we hate the French. If I was french I would be highly ashamed... poor frenchies... they have to live with the fact that there country surrendered without a fight... hahaha....For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

I love France, the only country where a McDonalds is blown up on political grounds.
Not the only country. It happens in many countries.
Poor McDonald's is the #1 identification target for opposistion to "US imperialism".
Good for its competition though, in a perverted/ counterproductive sense.

Anyway....but Americans do need to realize that France did kind of help them with their independence. Funny thought now that you think of it

If there are two flags in the world I hate, its the Libyan one and the Spanish one. Ugh.....Spanish though is redeemable since it doesnt use just one solid color (which is just plain lazy).

PS: I'm not ashamed of my nationality, maybe a bit ashamed of some Italian corrupted politicians... but defintly not ashamed of being the country of Michelangelo, Leonardo, Reinassance and many others."Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else.
The trick is the doing something else." — Leonardo da Vinci
