[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 700564, member: 1963"] I visited France in the mid-80s. A certain class of Parisiennes can be aloof and even rude, especially if your French is lousy. Some who speak English will refuse to do so. My French is ghastly, especially as I'm incapable of making a couple of sounds essential to the language. However, once you get into the small towns and rural villages, the French folks living there are very warm and friendly. You might even get asked in for a coffee or a glass of fresh milk, or a glass of wine and some cheese or pastry. I should warn you though, that much has changed in France, politically, and in terms of population make-up changing drastically and the attitudes of the populace changing as a result of that. Like America, the far-right is taking a strong hold of a substantial part of the population, for the same reasons as in America. Let's just say that a lot of the Republican party's platform is not exclusive to the USA. If you research, you will see the same ideology popping up all over the world. The only difference is that Trump and Duterte are crazy. Not all the others are, which makes them even more dangerous. [/QUOTE]
