"vast generalisations about an entire nation"
French actions over the past 50 years speak for themselves, St. John.
The recent actions of the French government, as the face of its people, proved that the actions of the previous 50 years are by no means isolated incidents, or even out of national character.
When talking about a nation's actions/character, a nation comprising some 60 million people, generalizations are the norm, not the exception.
Not every statement is going to fit every individual. But the statements themselves are truer than they are false.

Let me get this straight ... Combat-wombat saw an anti-French t-shirt somewhere, not on THR I assume, and now we have a 3 page thread almost entirely made up of French bashing?
Looks like a plan that went 180° out of kilter.
Don't look at me like that, Mike! I'm not closing it. Sure sounds like a Legal and Political topic to me.

Can't see why...
This is actually a pretty good thread regarding the issues surrounding much of our dissatisfaction with France, but also recognizing some of the French actions that have been admirable.

The French gov't never acknowledged how wrong they were even after major combat was over, they were just after regaining their economic status...

Ahh, yes, I'll have to go and pick up a bottle of famous Spud Wine, with the convenient resealable screw-on cap.

Rethorical question: how does inessantly talking about French national faults further civil liberties, including gun ownership rights? Further, commentary about amount of armpit hair isn't even on the topic of specifically French political or historic events...it is plain irrelevant and rude in the bargain.
