You think The Netherlands have nothing interesting to do, than, who was the Coach of the Australian Soccer team this year? Exactly, Guus Hiddink.

If you could understand what I just said in Irish you'd realise how ridiculous your statement is.

I can't really understand the Gaelic, but I think you just made Eleanor's point.

What a moron. Most of the world doesn't speak a word of English. Do you speak Chinese or Spanish? Both of those are spoken by more people than English.

But do the French speak Chinese, Spanish OR English, NO, they only speak French, it's like a person above said, France is OK, but the French are NOT. If you don't agree I suggest you to visit France sometime and you WILL afterwards tell me I was right.

Sorry, you are wrong.  I have been to Paris and surrounding areas of Paris.  Everywhere I went I was able to communicate in English.  If one person didn't speak English, there was someone nearby who did.  Then again, I wasn't a total asshole to them and I don't hate them so maybe they were more accomodating to me.  Not that I'm calling you an asshole because I'm not.  I don't know anything about you so I wouldn't make that accusation.  But I have been told that many French people don't like tourists because they don't even attempt to speak the French language.  So maybe if you weren't trying to use even some of the more common French words, or being a little pushy, maybe they just decided to not speak English.  Just a thought.

But I've been there, and had no problems.

Edit: Many of them also speak Italian and/or German.  (I know very little of both of those, but it did come in handy).

There's a place in France where the naked ladies dance,
There's a hole in the wall where the men can see it all.

*snicker*

Incorrect, Spanish is spoken much less than English. English is the "international" language - pilots use it, ship captains use it, hell I even see ads in Germany that are in English.

Here's the top five in case you're interested:
1. Mandarin (Chinese)
2. English
3. Hindi (Indian)
4. Spanish
5. Arabic

Thanks for the update. I had seen this list before with Spanish above English. Must have been old info. The point I was trying to make is hating someone for not speaking a certain language is just as stupid as hating someone for the way they look or the place they were born.

Good call. If not for the French, we'd all be subjects of the Queen and speaking English...
Uh, you know what I mean

I absolutely love France, what isn't there to like? The food's great, the women are hot and there's shitloads to do from outdoor activities to indoor and the night life is pretty good (depending on where you are of course).

Most peoples gripe seems to be their attitude. They're not the most friendly people ever but it's usually because they don't tolerate loud mouthed tourists. Us Brits do, and so do you americans by the sounds of it, but the French are a lot more 'civilised', or at least think they are, so they tend to frown on it more. Anyway, just shag their women and enjoy the food, you won't go badly wrong if you decide to go there on holiday.

The food's great?! wtf? If you take away the "imported" food restaurants (e.g. Buffalo Grill, Italian, Greek, German w/e)... what's left? baguettes?!?!

I was talking about french food so that kinda eliminates the others!?

I agree. Although it would be nice if everyone spoke my language (Texan).

I love Nice and Marseilles, as well as Corsica or La Corse, whatever
