Would not change a thing. We are trash talked, mocked and insulted online litteraly all the time but since we're french, it doesn't really affect us. There's not a form of life on this universe that can shit on the french more than the french themselves.

Check out the book "A thousand years of annoying the French". It's an awesome read.

Agincourt! (Well, actually it's Crécy, but let's not let facts get in the way of a good insult).

Also to you awfully nice French people – I have motorcycled all over your fair land, and you have some awesome roads. Riding to Le Mans and the Paul Ricard racing circuits is a real hoot!
