Everyone hates France, the French people, and anything else France related. I fully believe the French are to blame for everything wrong with our society. Crime, poor, drugs, war. You name it, France is at unconditional fault. They are good for only saying "WE SURRENDER!!" Damn Nazi-lap dogs are good for only smelling bad and being ungrateful black sheep of Europe! Below is a list of what we, as a society, should do to rid ourselves with the evil nation.
a. Let them declare war on Germany, and don't get involved.
b. Dump a lot of baking powder on France from space. Because they're all so dirty, the French would be dissolved!
c. Push the Alps and the Pyrrnees together really fast. Let them be sling shot into the air.
d. Add cyanide to their cigars.
e. Remove their vocal cords so that humanity doesn't have to listen to their oh-so-terrible language.
f. Put 'em all in Canada!
Or, I will use my backup plan. It's less fun though.
The sickly cultural pathos which the whole of France indulges in, that
fetishism of the cultural heritage.
--Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929), French semiologist. America, "Utopia
Achieved" (1986; tr. 1988).
Basically the French are all peasants.

toilet paper.

How can anyone govern a nation that has two hundred and forty-six
different kinds of cheese?
--Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970), French general, president. Quoted in:

The French bourgeois doesn't dislike shit, provided it is served up to
him at the right time.
--Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-80), French philosopher, author. Saint Genet:
Actor and Martyr, bk. 2, "To Succeed in Being All, Strive to Be Nothing

In France one must adapt oneself to the fragrance of a urinal.
--Gertrude Stein (1874-1946), U.S. author. Said to author and poet
Frederic Prokosch. Quoted in: Prokosch, Voices: A Memoir, "Style"
(1983). Prokosch had paid a visit to Stein in Paris, asking her opinion
of the city. "Alice deplores the public urinals," Stein explained. "I
keep explaining to Alice that the Parisians are all wine-drinkers and
for a gentleman the bladder is more restless than for a lady."
A Frenchman is self-assured because he regards himself personally both
in mind and body as irresistibly attractive to men and women.

bk. 9, ch. 10 (1868-69).
