French metalhead looking for a place in West Springfield or Springfield[views:36642][posts:240]_________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 5:36pm - Martins ""] JackGrants said:It's funny because in France, it's portuguese girls who have the reputation of being hairy. This one looks iberian. But whatever, I'm curious to hear the clichés about the French so bring it on. Haha, it's true. Portuguese women are so hairy. I should know; the female members of my family are all Portuguese. They have better facial hair than I ever will. |

| ______________________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 6:05pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] Maine also has the Lewiston MAINEiacs of the QHMMJMLHJHL |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 6:10pm - SkinSandwich ""] No, I was going to thank you for the statue of liberty and all, but you can have it back. She really is an eyesore. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 6:14pm - the_reverend ""] malcolm jamal warner? |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 6:21pm - JackGrants ""] Ok, I'll bring the statue of liberty back if you want, I'll sell it to the Chinese. Anything else you wanna get rid of ? |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 6:23pm - SkinSandwich ""] Well, if you are going to sell it to the Chinese you have to redo the eyes. You can take soon ex-president Bush with you. Show him the ways of the Frenchies. |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 6:44pm - JackGrants ""] Yeah, maybe you're not serious but some are. Making the french pussies since before Jesus because a french "government" saw an interest in letting the germans in in 1940 is ridiculous. France has won wars against about every country in Europe including Russia, Germany, England and not so long ago either, in terms of History. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 7:24pm - SkinSandwich ""] HA! I knew it would not take long to get your goat. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 7:30pm - JackGrants ""] Mission accomplished, SkinSandwich. A Bush would have let the germans in too. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 7:37pm - the_reverend ""] not unless they were friends with his daddy. I guess america forgets napoleon so quickly. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 7:44pm - JackGrants ""] They were friends with grand-daddy. Some people seem to not even have heard of Napoleon or maybe they think he was some prehistoric dude who just killed a couple dinosaurs 6000 years ago. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 29,2008 10:01pm - pam ""] I have no problem with France, only meat-head-my-dick-is-bigger American stereotypical morons do. Sign me up for your excellent health care, clean cities, and yummy food any day. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 10:04pm - SkinSandwich ""] Yeah, he was a little tea pot short and stout. He invaded Russia, and failed. Seems to happen to any nation that tries that. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 29,2008 10:13pm - pam ""] Hitler didn't pay attention in history class. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 10:20pm - JackGrants ""] There will always be people who have a problem with France or any other country even if they'd never be able to give you a good reason but what can you do. And yes, Russia has the advantage of the weather. They could have lost againt Germany too if the German soldiers who stooped to take a crap didn't remain stuck frozen to the ground. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 10:41pm - SkinSandwich ""] Ha, shitcicles. Hitler smelled like brauts and catfood. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 10:51pm - JackGrants ""] They brought the leftovers back to Hitler in his bunker so he could enjoy his own happy meal : brauts, shitcicles and ass smoothies. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 29,2008 10:54pm - Lamp ""] Amazing. Someone who lives in a non-English speaking country can speak English fluently and the Mexican guy I've been working with has lived in this country for the past couple years and even another 6 year stint before that and can barely string a sentence together in English. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 29,2008 10:56pm - pam ""] I think French guy is going to fit in just fine around here. |

They teach kids to be bilingual in France...you know, that education concept that makes people on this board shit their pants and start screaming about THIS IS AMURIKA, SPEAK AMURIKAN, TAKIN OUR JOBS, etc. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 29,2008 11:02pm - Lamp ""] Yeah, no shit. I wish they did that here. Do you know how much easier it would be to teach people English if you could speak their language? |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 11:16pm - JackGrants ""] Although, I heard that french people are among the worse in Europe when it comes to speaking another language. They're working on that right now apparently. For example, instead of having movies in the original version and subtitled, most movies are dubbed and I don't see the point in that except for the few times it's so lame it's funny. And we also, like you, have the people who come from other countries and who don't speak French after several years. The problem is that some won't even try and they don't give a shit. As to me, I speak english on a regular basis so that helps. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 29,2008 11:17pm - Lamp ""] JackGrants said:The problem is that some won't even try and they don't give a shit. That's what I think is the case with the guy I mentioned before. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 11:21pm - JackGrants ""] And it's hard to be tolerant with such people. I really don't see myself coming to the US and not being able to string a sentence together. People would throw freedom fries at me and they'd be right. |

| _______________________________ [Nov 29,2008 11:29pm - Lamp ""] Your English is already awesome, you have nothing to worry about dude. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 29,2008 11:36pm - JackGrants ""] You can be comforted about that, Pam, some french people are incredibly lame at english even after years of school. And personally, I think learning French is harder than learning English. Thanks for your comment, Lamp, always nice to hear :D |

I remember when I was in high school, some foreign exchange students arrived from France, and they spoke fluent English while I was only in French II. When they told us that they started learning foreign languages in elementary school, everyone in my class wondered why they didn't do that in America. Developmental psychologists discovered a long time ago that there is a critical period in brain development around adolescence where, after puberty, it's much harder to learn another language. Our schools are crappy. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 30,2008 1:40am - Seth ""] Second that and even now a days the school systems are shit and don't do anything to help, unless you find a good school system! Brought to you by a child of a college professor and special ed teacher! Wake up america..everyone else is smarter, but we have missiles! :FLAMING: |

Your language is a sexist jerk. |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 30,2008 6:55am - JackGrants ""] Pam, that's only sexist if you wanna look at it that way. German is worse, having a third form for things and giving it to the word girl for example. How's that ? Niccolai : Fight ? In France ? Never heard of fighting, sorry. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 30,2008 8:36am - guy ""] aren't all french guys queers |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 30,2008 8:40am - JackGrants ""] Only the gay ones are |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 30,2008 8:56am - the_reverend ""] I wish! |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 30,2008 8:59am - the_reverend ""] in school, I took 3 years of german and 9 years of spanish. can't speak a word of either until AFTER I walk away from someone that I could speak with. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 30,2008 12:02pm - JackGrants ""] I took 5 years of German and Ich spreche nicht Deutsch. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 30,2008 12:47pm - the_reverend ""] wouldn't that be kein? |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 30,2008 12:53pm - JackGrants ""] Could very well be. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 30,2008 4:00pm - JackGrants ""] Qui parle français ici alors ? |

| ___________________________________ [Dec 1,2008 6:18am - JackGrants ""] Oh, I understand that, we forget so much of what we "learn" at school. What's the most common second language to choose at school in the US ? |

What's the most common second language to choose at school in the US ? Probably Spanish... There are a lot of people who speak Spanish in this country. I can still understand/speak French well enough to get by. If I lived in a French-speaking country, I would probably be fluent pretty quickly. My brain is good with languages. If I hear someone speaking French for a few minutes, I start thinking in French. Where I grew up was about an hour south of the Canadian border, so we had TV stations in French. The town I lived in when I was a little kid was full of old French-Canadians who moved there to work in the mills in the 1920s. Quebecois French is different, though. If I talk to people from rural parts of Quebec, I have no idea what they're saying half the time. |
