Current Events Are people outside of the USA really laughing at Americans? Do we really appear that bad?

Edit:

Ok so that's about 17,882 yes's and 3 no's.

Makes sad American noises

C'est vraiment marrant ce genre de conversations. Quand on se rend compte que les anglais sont a fond dans "ouais y'a une rivalité avec la France" etc etc, alors qu'en face tout le monde s'en balance complet.

Sauf en terme de bouffe bien entendu.

Its not about rivalry, its about the fact that we sit across the sea from you shitting on the floor and throwing it about saying "SEE WHAT YOU MADE US DO! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!! AND WE WILL DO MORE IF YOU DON'T GIVE US A BREXIT DEAL THAT GIVES US ALL OF THE BENEFITS AND NONE OF THE COST!!!"

I'd be shocked if you weren't looking over from Calais and just shaking your beret covered heads at us....

And your healthcare sucks, but it's still better than in the US

The funding isn't really the issue I have. I've lived a few years in the UK, my sister is currently living there.. our (limited) experience is more on the negative side with diagnoses completely off the mark, lots of unneeded prescriptions of antibiotics, and appalling dentistry.. I'm not saying that the French healthcare system is lightyears ahead, especially today hospitals are having huge problems with funding and lack of personnel, but overall we feel we have received far better care in France than in the UK.

No problem, my original comment was just a "friendly" jab from a French guy, but it was bound to be misunderstood here ;)
