To us Americans, hating the french comes as natural as being fat and stubborn; it's part of our culture. Excuse me while I eat my bucket of freedom fries.
They hate it because the French are the only voice of reason America has left. Hurray for France! There's probably a much calmer reaction to the decision than you would find if it happened here in the states.
HAhahaha. yeah, you're a regular bucket of sunshine compared to that grumpy son of a bitch "Daz". What with his "helping people", and "being kind" and all... it sickens me... almost as much as the french!
Oh how could i forget Vahl as another reason to love the french. Dave, i wonder if the guys DVD player had zoom on it? if not then this would also explain the need for vhs.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I don't like France, but I'm allowed to because all my reasons are all good ones. [/ QUOTE ] Would one of those reasons be that you live in Ohio?

I'd say American media control helps spread English the most now, rather than its global distribution, whether its the internet or CNN. Maybe I am just bitter because the french government rejected esperanto, but I don't see any logical reason it is chosen as one of the main second languages (except in Canada)
