The French have never been more moral and they haven't really claimed to be either (I mean, they've said it but they didn't really expect anyone to believe it).

They've always done what's in their interest with no trace of morals.

As does everyone, in the end.

What's great about the French is they do it while eating better and with less sexual prudery.

Welcome to the forum Julien. If you've watched the video, I'm curious as to your opinion on it.

Thank you for welcoming me.

I didn't watch it, it was taking a long time to download. With what I understand from your post the soldiers did the wrong thing. I think that perhaps they thought they were in danger or they might have thought that there was a guerilla in the crowd. We don't know because we were not there.

I also don't criticise the U.S. soldiers in combat in Iraq. I assume most of the American soldiers there are not bad people. They are under a lot of stress.

I have met many tourists and have gone out of my way to be as nice as possible to them.

I think the stereotypes of the French are true to some extent. Many French people don't like foreigers.

I think it's our consumer culture - make the customer happy and your business will prosper, and everyone is a potential customer, so it's best to be polite to everyone. Wink

I agree, I wish France was more consumer oriented. You'll never hear a store clerk tell you to have a good day here.
