IC, this really is mean. Can't you cut them some slack? At least keep your anti Spamalot vendetta out of other threads.

But on topic - yes, the French do do a hell of a lot of whining

As an american, I don't think I am the standard worker. My job is, well, my job and it is better than social welfare and/or homelessness. So I only complain if it is something that effects other workers too. Why whine, a paycheck is a bloody paycheck.

No surprise UK is up there. We do two things - moan and queue, and then moan about queues, and queue up to moan.

DAZMCFC · Post by **DAZMCFC** » Wed May 16, 2007 10:56 am

you may well say all the french are moaning fuckers, but my god, they do get things done. you just look at the french farmers or truckers. if they want something the whole country comes to a stand still, when they block the ports and all the motorways and main roads coming and going from all the major cities.

the british will moan about it, but then don`t stick together and get things done (except in fighting

). like in my works a few years back, the bosses say "right we are going to do this and that" everyone starts moaning and saying "f*ck that we are not doing that". then some give in and then everyone else gives in. it is bollocks in this country when we want something doing, there are to many jobsworths with no bollocks to stand up and fight against their bosses. the unions have very little power in modern day society in this country, unless it is the police, firebrigade(even then the army bring out it`s green goddesses) and hospital staff(that should get more backing and money anyway).

Hey, did you hear about the 6-nation poll about who dislikes France the most?

Germany - 14%
Italy - 25%
Spain - 29%
Britain - 33%
U.S. - 38%
France - 44%

french politics is great.

complain and mumble, insult everyone possible in a passive way, complain and mumble some more, disagree with everyone else, complain, BOYCOTT, more complaining and mumbling

sorry if its a bit of jaded view although i honestly think that the french stance in politics is a hell of a lot better than many nations

Obviously minus USA because your so far up our own arses you cant see back out.

But as a general point, people living within a country tend to see and take into account more of the bad points about their own country then outsiders, and in turn have a less favourable view of their own country.
