give an example of how they are the worlds biggest s? When I went to Paris the people seemed friendly, but the city was dirty the Parisians use to just toss their garbage to the side of the streets or anywhere in the park but the garbage bags. |

I live in France and have for most of my life and I will say yeah they are arseholes but you get used to it.
There is always a barrier between people with the tu ( you )and the vous ( they ) ( speaking to people you don't know or people you are supposed to 'respect' you refer to them in the third person ); people are agressive and arrogant. They always complain.
There's plenty of concrete examples I could give you but I can't be arsed ( sorry I'm being french there :p ).
Recently a friend of my family who does humanitarian work and stuff between Ukraine, Hungary and Romania was telling me how shocked she had been with the behavior she saw from people in France. If you were to see 'barbaric' behavior you'd expect it to be in a country like Romania perhaps ( well one would be lead to believe that as they aren't as economically advanced as France but that's another debate ).
In the streets of Paris this guy wanted to cross the street where there was no passage way for pedestrians. This lady didn't let him cross and so he kicked her side door as hard as possible and she wasn't too pleased to see her Mercedes damaged.
She got out of the car and attempted to fist fight the idiot.
I see tons of uncivilized behavior on a daily basis. |

I am by no means a fan of France - quite the contrary - but there are things where it is superior to the US, so your cliche is really irritating. One such thing is that people are secular and not religious. Another is more relaxed attitudes to sex.
BTW, have you even been to France? Only if the answer is "yes" can your question be taken seriously. |

A country who represses/restricts religious belief versus another one who some might view as trying to impose its religious beliefs at home and abroad.
Which one is better? |
