Do americans hate france?

I am wondering what Americans think of France. There is a lot of media here in Europe that says Americans hate France for the government policies and because of other reasons.

I would like to know what American people think of all this. You must...

know that most French people do not hate Americans, we want Americans to be welcome in France. American culture is popular in France, we like American music, movies, food and other things. Yes we are not happy about your choice of president or the Iraq war. But we do not hate Americans. If you visit France you are welcome all we ask is that you learn from French before you come. We are proud of our language and I think it is good for you to learn to speak some French. If you do we will be happy to speak English with you. And our soldiers fight next to yours in World War 1 in many battles. We have a long history together.

Having been to France, I know for a fact French don't hate Americans.

And, having seen the idiocy committed by the US politicians regarding the whole freedom fries incident, I can say for a fact American politicians are stupid (as a group - individually, they may be very bright).

I'm sure that American politicians also don't like the socialist policies of the French, because they treat people more fairly, have universal health care, haven't had the massive recession or massive deficit that the US government has allowed us to jump into as a result of a war with no reason behind it & faulty intelligence, etc, etc.

There are lots of reasons why jealously becomes hatred...however, that wasn't your question American people don't dislike the French, and from my experience, the French have no problem with Americans.

If only the politicians weren't idiots...but, that's another question entirely.

The answer is no, Americans do not hate the french. Actually we heard that it was the other way around. I've been told by many people that the french hate Americans.

Many Americans feel the same way as do do about our President and the war. So no hard feelings there my friend.

I actually think that France is a beautiful place, you do speak the language of love. So I agree with you there as well if we go to your country we should learn at least some french words before we go.

I thought it was the other way around that french hate americans?...I agree I'm not happy about choice of president either lol! americans feel the same way about the choice of president. I dont hate the french people and I dont think americans do either. Plus we do have a long history. Didnt you guys give us the statue of liberty? I think we dont hate each other I just think its like a rumor or something you know.

I don't know about all the americans
but I do know that if I had the chance to live in france I would I love france more then america actually
=)

wow people actually say things like that I dont hate france I dont think anyone dose I want to go there someday my ancesters came from frace so why would I hate france wow the media is messed up and we here that france hates the americans so weird I dont know I dont pay any atention anymore people get things so messed up now and days

I'd like to think people would've learned by now, to take everything they hear/see in the media, with a small reserve of skepticism.

But I guess not.

that is just stupid. I love france!!! it is beautiful and the people are friendly. and if people in america do hate france...if they show love to us we should show the same.

No. Viva la France! except, (as usual) I will have to slightly disagree with "the dude" Actually if you read "the world Almanac, which is a non-biased books of facts. You will see that France and other European countries have suffered a great deal under high taxation and socialism, and are grasping Reaganomic Capitalism, and prospering. You see dude, eventually all those "Social programs" have to be paid for. and when 45 to 60 percent of your check goes to pay for them, well. . . you tend to miss work a lot more. (or were not around during the carter administration? remember 15% inflation, 10% unemployment? Stagflation?

Its funny that today marks the anniversary of the Reagan tax cut that saved this country. And began an Economic boom that spanned almost three decades thus far. (unless Obama gets elected). So yes, we love French people, or else we probably would not have liberated it twice. I am dating a German woman, (born and raised), and she assures me that her fellow countrymen are grateful for Americans by and large, you see, they do not forget.

I LOVE France! I am learning French just to live their someday! And I really think socialism is the way to go

Unfortunately...I think a lot of Americans think differently. A lot of American do not like the French government and their socialist ideals. Americans do not like taxes...I say---tax the RICH!

ofcourse not. I cant speak for everyone,but we have nothing against any country,my bro just came from france and he was wondering if france hated americans,haha,
but we dont.

There is a perception among many (mostly uninformed) people here that the french don't like americans and are rude to them when they visit. While I have not been there (yet), I know plenty of people who have and all have said the french were great, and would go back in a heartbeat. My daughter was there last January and she loved it.

Rick, rick, rick... still pining for ronnie, huh? I agree, we are reaping the benefits of reaganomics today. A grossly devalued dollar, sky rocketing energy costs, a collapsing housing market, , rising unemployment, huge trade deficits, the largest national debt in history, and deficit spending never seen before. Do you really believe our economy is going good right now?

How can you criticize europe for having problems paying for their social progams, but never seem to criticize the Republicans for their outrageous spending practices.

I have been very critical of this administration's spending. Both parties in Washington are on a free-for-all spending spree. LOL. Unfortunately in a free-market society greed is allowed to grow too. Reagan did exactly what needed to be done at the time in order to stop this country from going in the wrong direction. Our goal should always be to keep government as small as we can. France's current president ran as "the President who will get out of bed in the morning". He wants to cut taxes and spending, and put his country back to work. READ THE DAMN ALMANAC!!! Socialism; if gone unchecked, can cripple a country.

Of course Americans don't hate us, and of course French people like Americans. There's only few people in both countries who believes to the imaginary
conflict that media try to maintain. Having ennemies is so much better for the audience.

An advice if you come in France, in spite of it's little size, our country is very varied. France is not Paris, and French are not parisians

Sorry for my bad english, I'll try to progress before visiting the US.

NO WAY
