[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 2601743, member: 9646"] :D At least I heard! But the thread has been dead for weeks now, I guess... :heh: Well, I don't really know what to say. I frequent some Americans here (including Ben), but I have yet to discern the important differences of behavior. One of the main differences I can think of, off the top of my head: -- French are extremely critical about their own country, about themseleves, etc. while I think American on the contrary tend to be proud of their country and of themselves. -- Another thing, Frenchies try to not tell how much money they make, contrary to many Americans (or so I believe). They would rather sob on how poor they are (being rich can be a sin in this country :D ). -- Despite the myth about it, I believe that there is no "French Lover" (at least I am not that one). -- On the average, people don't believe in God in this country. Most of us don't care about religion. The few who do, often prefer to keep it secret (not tell even their friends - don't expect me to tell you what I believe about it, anyway it's forbidden on these boards). -- I cannot believe it when I see American tourists who get lunch at the MacDonald rather than trying some French food, at least just to see the difference. -- I think I can spot (+5 bonus on the check) Americans tourists from their clothing fashion. I think it needs to be improved... :uhoh: -- Americans are probably more open to new ideas than the French. Maybe some Americans tend to be more naive, but we French tend to be more prejudiced and overly suspicious. -- And last but not least: Political Correctness, thanks God, has still not reached this country!! I hate this concept! [/QUOTE]
