The French people do not tolerate shit, the Americans on the hand will wallow in it and say work harder for less.

It's one of the main reasons our owner class has sought to mock the French with "surrender" slurs and "freedom fries."

They'd very much like the citizenry to forget Frances contribution to America and "western culture" over the last 200 years lest they get any ideas.
