Why are so many expats hostile on some of these threads?

The French are in a league of their own, just my opinion.

66 million French, 66 million the same.
That's one special way of thinking and seeing human kind.
I can now understand why you choose such a name. It clearly indicates the origin of your personality and way of thinking.
That, at least, was really clever.

Eff you, you damn cracker!  Just kidding.  I hear you.  I'm also a cracker myself.

How would you react if I wrote on a public forum you were a parasite? (btw, I'm not the guy you're talking about)
Unless you have no self-esteem of you, your country and your compatriot...

As I am the exception with not being a parasite, I never borrow, always pay my way, do anything for anyone without expecting gratitude, or a favour owing to me. I am a VN's best friend , but wouldn't be without my tools, and also being a Native English Speaker. ( As in English is my 1st language ).

God is with us!!!

We, the french, are supposed to be arrogant.
Please take care not to switch roles.

I'm also finding out the French are other things as well, If the guy in question was a Pom, or an Aussie, I would have written Pommy parasite, or Aussie parasite, why take it so personally????

I love to eat crackers with humus...sometimes Spanish cheese with guava paste. Yummmy.

Talking about other people as "things" summarize by itself the way you're considering human beings.
Nothing more to say...

Its not saying they are "things" it merely means they are other things such as,unhappy,sports loving,patriotic, etc Thats the way I read it being a native English speaker.I would agree with you if it actually was meant to mean that they were "things".

Well you could just drop it, but I guess you enjoy the Dying Swan Ballet too much for that.  There're plenty of real insults in the world, you know, seeking them out by contrivance seems pointless, non?

Thank you for pointing out what it really meant and sorry for my comment. It can be really confusing to understand the real sense of a sentence when you're not native english.
I do apologize for my misunderstanding.

Yes, totally understand what you are saying and nice to see you post a reply.

That was the least I could do after such a misunderstanding!

One more example of why English Language schools should only employ Native English speakers.

I've read this blog many times before while Googling! I have to say I agree with his post, sadly.
