We all know france and it's leaders are powerless. You can beat around the bush all you like, fact of the matter remains. Rape, crime and terrorism has all gone up over the past 2 years because of the recent immigration policies passed by E.U and not weak politicans that run the french government. Your elected leaders are only good for giving speeches. That's as far as the buck stops short. Yes also we Americans live in "Fear",(sure). Which might also be the reason we don't have as has many violent terrorist attacks as your nations have. Fruit for thought since you like to ponder on dumb things.

[@booblebombeledino5916]

"Rape, crime and terrorism has all gone up over the past 2 years" False, except for terrorism. What else? Oh yes, what you said may be true for the United Sates. Actually, their homicide rate was of 4,7 in 2012 and grew to 5,4 in 2015. Americans don't need terrorism. They kill themselves without it.

[@marcuswright8418]

booblebombe ledino Plenty of rape cases in france not to mention violent crimes because people don't have the right to defend themselves. Ofcouse there are always weak minded individuals who won't report rape cases pepertrated by these immigrants out of fear of "offending" them. France atm is a lesson, especially to americans what happens when weak politicians who only care about P.C culture end up running their countries to the ground. Don't worry france is not alone in this demise. Germany, sweden, berlin are leading this campaign.(lol) Most E.U countries are borderline shit atm. You think highly of yourselves sure but to the rest of the world we look and learn from your failures, we also mock you because of the kind of idiots you elect to run your country. Only good for speeches nothing else. As for america, yes has it's flaws and those crime statisictics are usually from democratic run states. But hey least we don't live in fear of terrorism. We spend alot in combating foreign and domestic terrorism. Which is why people feel safer to live here than in Europe. Also i like how you said "False, except for terrorism"?. and you think that's good or better? LOL might be good for somone as submissive as you but as for the rest of us, no thanks.

FREEDOM FRIES!!!!!!!!!

[@MrHoolits]

Frank Farmer Freedom Kisses. ;-)

[@abolibibelot2754]

Stan Smith Frank Farmer And to exercise the triceps, what, the "freedom press" ? Actually, being french I don't understand why those food items and practices are labeled "french" : those fries are from Belgium as fat-- uh, as far as I know, and I'm pretty sure the so-called "french" kiss was "invented" thousands of years ago, long before there was a territory called "France".

[@MrHoolits]

Aboli Bibelot Agree on French fries being Belgian. The french kiss was meant to be derogatory or an insult. Just like Napoleon labeled England a "nation of shopkeepers" I did an internet search and found the following though I did not spend any time looking for many examples. Just the first one as isn't that important to me *Interested to Know the Origin of the French Kiss?* By Lauren Worthington | Submitted On March 10, 2009 Many people think that they know the French kiss origin. Obviously, it seems as if it originated in France because of its name. On the contrary, these people are quite wrong because this misconception is simply not true to history or documents. There are plenty of theories as to why it is called a French kiss; however, no theory can ever be confirmed because there are no documents found yet. More than likely though, it did not originate in France as most people like to believe. *One theory comes from the fact that the French have been known as sensual, immoral people in history.* Therefore, the term French kissing is an insult to the French and their ways. It is also an insult on their public display of their promiscuous nature. Also, the French were the first people to allow public displays of love and affection such as kissing and dancing. The French supposedly had dances that ended in huge make out sessions for every couple that came to the dance. Another theory is also an insult to the France and its people just as the first theory was. During a war, a general once said that the French would rather make love with their hands than fight and battle. He is practically saying that the French were too afraid to fight and would rather make love. Therefore, this theory also degrades the French people and their morale in fighting and public displays of love. Other phrases that incorporate the word French that do not really have any affiliation with France or its people are French toast, French fries, and the phrase "excuse my French." None of these derived their origins from the country of France or from the French people. The last one also is an insult to France and its people. When someone uses the phrase "excuse my French," it is usually after he or she swore or said something inappropriate. This insinuates that the French are crude and rude people who have no courtesy for the common public. As of this present time, no real, accurate documents have been discovered or found in supporting any of these theories. The author of the term "French kiss" may never been known. If he or she saw that the phrase is so widely known and used today, he or she would be shocked. It is interesting to note that this phrase has the same meaning it did centuries ago as it does today. However, it can be documented back to the 1800s. In addition, the utilization of the phrase French kiss was once again rampant in the 1920s. Whether the theory derived from war times or the theory derived from the nature and manners of the French, no one will ever know. Either way the term probably was derived form some form of insult to France and its people, and it is not literally from the country of France itself or its people. Wherever the French kiss origin is, the French kiss has always and will always be a universal symbol of romance, love, or lust. Lauren Worthington is a kissing specialist who teaches various ways to French Kiss. It is recommended you check out her course over at How To French Kiss renchkissingsecrets *dot* com/]. You can also read further articles of hers on the French Kiss Origin (frenchkissingsecrets *dot* com/the-origin-of-the-french-kiss).

[@GoodMorningCanada2023]

I live in France as of now and I am American and French, my mother is american and my father is French. And I find it shocking that they mocked that Francois Hollande doesn't believe in God. In France, it is very common not to believe in God. probably 90% of the people I know don't believe in God and for us it's an evidence. We find people that do believe in God, weird. Even though he is a terrible president, I do agree with him on that. I find it weird that they emphasise at the End "A president who doesn't think God exists" and like that's an evidence. Because up until now, there has been NO proof of God's existence. Yet people still believe it. But what's weird is that if tomorrow I said "I have aliens spelling in my house" you would be like "WTF!". It's just someone invented one day because at the time they didn't know how life was made and why is this and why is that, so they said "only god has the answer" yet now we have the answers to most things yet people still believe in God. America is the country with he most people that believe in God which is crazy. Only 3% of the people in the USA don't believe in God and in France it's probably the opposite. And choosing the christian religion, honestly, that's like the worst religion you could ever choose. You guys believe in Heaven and Hell and all that shit that's 100000% fake. You teach your kids terrible things. If you have to choose your religion, just believe in God and don't follow stupid rules. Or if you REALLY want to have a religion, choose Jewish, it's the most realistic one and their rules are way more down to the ground. I feel like the Bible was written by a Jew that took Crystal Meth by accident and thought that all that he saw was true and wrote it in a book which was written in a year where everyone believed what everyone said so they published the book, it then became a religion and people are transmitting this brainwashing bullshit to their kids and making crazy God psychopaths. If God exists, which I am questioning a lot, I don't think he needs everyone to suck his balls that much, I mean, would you like it if 3-5 Billion people (deducting people that believe in God) were sucking on your balls all day in exchange for you making effort for each and everyone to help solve your dept issues or your couple problems? I am pretty sure you would commit suicide, so if God existed once, he probably committed suicide. And a lot of christians are still mad at Jews that they killed Jesus, well, if I would be angry at a person for killing my great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great GrandMother, most people would laugh at me, but since you are sheep and you say what everyone else says, War is what happens. Just to be clear My family is not Jewish, They are "Catholic" meaning that's what they were essentially but nobody cares about religion or believes in God in this family because we all know that it's all invented. I could honestly compare God to Santa Clause because instead of him being a guy that gives you free presents, he is supposed to heal all of ur problems in exchange for prayers. You have more luck sending a letter to the president than praying to God for help and getting an answer.

Tu sais les statistiques ne sont pas du tout précis car ils posent la question a 1000-10 000 personnes, alors qu'en france nous sommes 65 Millions.

Car je vois ce que vous dites, les gens agés que je connais croient en dieu, mais ce sont les jeunes qui ne croient pas en dieu car ils ont une vision plus réaliste et plus moderne et ont été éduqué dans des écoles qui enseignent le Big Bang.

You don't need a PHD. If you really committed to moving for Trump you could go for your TEFL license and easily find a job overseas.

They should do (or have done) one of these about Spain's president. "It's the inhabitant that chooses the mayor and it's the mayor the one that wants the inhabitants to be the mayor" "Exportint is positive because you sell what you produce." Or his best phrase yet: "This is not like the water that falls from the sky and nobody knows why."

[@binaway]

+carlosbaldellou isn't Span a Monarchy with a King. ie - no President

[@carlosbaldellou]

binaway Oh, that's a language thing. In Spain, the prime minister is called Presidente del gobierno.

[@1st_Julianna]

+binaway No, but Spain is!

[@Galadrielle532]

Ok I'm French. I'll be glad to tell you, French people don't give a damn about their president's love life, or personal life. We only care about their politics. We don't like Hollande because he's a shitty president, and the thing with the scooter amused us for five minutes before we started questioning his personal security. But most of all: Religion and state have nothing to do together since 1905. France is atheist by law, it's written in its constitution. Questioning the existence of God is in France something not only personal, but commonly grounded in our way of thinking. It is for us abhorrent to see the American president swearing on the Bible. It is for us the worst thing imaginable and we sincerely don't understand how this is still a thing in America. By the way I love your show, but please stop speaking abbout French people, it makes me grind my teeth everytime. (Even if your French accent is absolutely perfect(-ly hilarious). Lots of love from France.

[@doneyhon4227]

Petite Galadrielle La France est athée légalement et constitutionnellement? Mais ferme la. C'est un Etat laïque, donc aconfessionnel, mais sûrement pas athée, idiote. Pathétique cette incompétence à bien informer nos amis étrangers.

[@Galadrielle532]

Oh oui c'est vrai excuse-moi! Je me suis trompée dans la terminologie que je voulais employer. Tu fais bien de le préciser, permets-moi donc de corriger cette dommageable erreur. Tu vois, il n'y a pas besoin d'être agressif pour faire passer un message. La politesse est importante.

[@doneyhon4227]

Désolé, mais faire passer un message totalement faux aux étrangers me gave profondément. Tu parles pour nous tous, personne ne t'en donne le droit si tu racontes des mensonges. Donc si tu ne sais pas et que tu n'as aucune connaissance de nos lois, tu ne dis rien. En France, chacun pratique son culte comme il le désire (et pas que dans la sphère privée, contrairement à ce qui se dit). Qu'il s'agisse des chrétiens, musulmans, juifs ou autre, il n'y a aucun problème à pratiquer, au contraire. Nous sommes dans un Etat où la liberté de culte est un droit fondamental et constitutionnel (il faudrait lire la constitution avant d'en parler). Je déteste les gens qui tentent de faire passer une fausse image de notre pays en mettant en avant leurs convictions personnelles. C'est comme si un catholique disait: "La France est un pays chrétien". Il déforme la réalité selon son prisme. Donc apprends à ne pas déformer la réalité, tu auras des réactions bien plus polies. Je te serais gré de rectifier ton commentaire.

[@Galadrielle532]

Encore une fois, je ne comprends pas cette agressivité. Effectivement je me suis trompée de terme, et j'en suis profondément désolée. Je connais parfaitement la loi, je connais parfaitement notre histoire, je souhaitais simplement expliquer pourquoi il n'est pour nous pas le moins du monde choquant d'avoir un président ouvertement athée. Je me suis mal exprimée, et je comprends ton désarroi. Mais il n'est vraiment pas nécessaire de m'insulter. Je ne pense pas que si tu avais été en face de moi, tu aurais formulé ton propos de la même manière. Essaie d'envisager l'espace commentaire de KZbin comme un espace public où tu as les personnes réellement face à toi, je pense que ça changera ta façon de communiquer, et tout le monde (y compris toi) en sera plus heureux. Je m'en vais maintenant poster un nouveau commentaire en anglais pour corriger ma dommageable erreur et éduquer correctement les Américains.

[@Galadrielle532]

To every person out there who didn't understand what just happened here: Doney Hon reminded me very politely and diligently that I made a terrible mistake: Our country is not atheist like I said, but laic, and that are two different things. I was just trying to say that being atheist is a very common thing in France, and I didn't even know François Hollande was too, because no one actually gives a damn. Being a laic country means that every one is free to think whatever the hell they want about religion, and no one is forcing you to embrace one view of things. The public space must always remain laic, and we cherish that principle. Thank you all for your attention, and thanks again to Doney Hon for correcting me in such a lovely way.

[@maniak1768]

Is there a person who does like his policies?

[@1987MartinT]

I hope they do more of these.

[@PinskyKyaroru]

really funny!! keep them coming!

[@mguerra79]

Just one thing that you've got wrong, he says he is socialist, but despite whatever he says, he's no socialist at all... Socialism has nothing to do with what he is turning France into... Cheers from Portugal!

He's from Socialist Party.

I'm not even French, but I yearn for the halcyon days of the Hollande presidency. I mean, compared to Macron, he's positively amazing.

[@bridgetbinion8494]

"A sequence of events so stereotypically French, it's almost offensive."

[@maniak1768]

You left out the fact that Hollande's English is probably the worst there is on planet earth. His English is so terrible that even his fellow Frenchmen were mocking him for it. Can you even imagine speaking English so terribly that the French of all people, themselves having kind of a reputation for their proud refusal to take any part whatsoever in anglo-saxon cultural hegemony, are mocking you for it?

[@campel95]

Boris Johnson left his wife for his mistress (not long after having another affair with someone he was giving public money to) while his wife was having cancer treatment. He also had other affairs during the marriage, including arranging for an abortion on at least one occasion.

[@MrGksarathy]

He also has several love children from many women, and he might have more we don't know of.

A video making fun of American myopia about world leaders ends up being incredibly myopic about world religion, as though it's weird that successful people can be non-religious. Much of western Europe and its leaders are indifferent to religion. It's not like America, where belief in God is a de-facto prerequisite for office.
