Our French Superiors

[Maastricht]

I lived in Nancy, Lorraine.

The steryotypes do apply to Paris. It is not a friendly environment at all.

That's right and I think it's the same in the south-east, in big towns like Nice, Marseille, etc. Most of the people looked really irritated by the crowd of tourists when I came there for holidays.
About the courtesy level, I think it's ratherly specific to latins countries : Italy, Spain, France where people are uite ... outspoken ^_-.

Another French dude! Welcome.

What French party are you in/vote for?

Thanks ! I'm quite special about vote : Green Party for the "cantonnales" and "municipales", and PS (Parti Socialiste) for the presidential and legislative elections.

Eh French invasion.
Why can't any of teh europeans that come in be conservative.

If you mean why are we all Democrat supporters?
Religion, or should I say Religious social conservatism.
Even staunch free-marketeers in Europe tend not to be particularly socially conservative, hence they are swayed towards the Dems.
Margeret Thatcher, so beloved by US Republicans for instance was socially conservative by UK standards, but would be a moderate or even a liberal in the GOP. As far as I know she was pro-choice and certainly not openly religious.
Conservatives in Europe are more libertarian than anything.

I agree. In France, you would rather find conservative poeple in FN (J.M Le Pen) than in UMP (Chirac.)
