Hi, Guys, i'd like to give some stories about my life in France. I'm born in France (unfortunately), and i'm 31 y old. Lots of things happened to me there. Hopefully i escaped this sick country and i live in another country in Europe.
Police story: (happened 2 years ago)
Once, i have been arrested by the police at a roundabout in my own village in south west of france. It was at 8pm at night. The guys made me blow into the alcohol detector. No alcohol. He asked me where i lived. However he had the address on my papers and it was like 2km away in a place wheere there are at maximum 15,000 inhabitants. They he asked he didn't see where it is. So i explained to him where was the house. I understood he wanted to trap me, he wanted me to get mad at him. Then, for some reasons, i told him i was back from Spain. He asked me how long i stayed there. A question that was for my private life. Then he asked me if i had a job. And i had to explain to him i was in between two jobs.
Then, he walked three times around my vehicules. He found i didn't bring my car to the controle technique. (technical control). i had a 120 dollars fine.
It seems it tried to make me crazy for a reason. It looks like there is a kind of trick when people get mad at the policemen then the policemen can sue them as "outrage a agent" and get money from it. I dont know how they do it but a former french policeman explain it in a video in youtube.
here :
i m sorry it is in french. www.youtube.com . . .
Also same thing happened to me at the custom living La rochelle airport heading to London.
The guy at the custom looked at every stamps in my passport. And he saw that i had a visa for Canada, and he said why do you have that it is not normal. He added lots of stress to the question. I had to explain i spent one year in canada in a work exchange program.
And you know what ?
I ve been in the US, this never happened to me. I ve been to Israel 3 times, i had no problems. I ve been actually to 14 countries. (you have to travel when your country is s....). Nothing happened to me.

Police story (2):
between 1998 and 2004, while living in France, my car has been stolen, my car has been broken twice by people, once somebody went into my car and stole things. I ve been aggressed personnally once.
For sure Police in France, is a mess and criminality is really high. and it doesn't change. 90% of the territories is dangerous. And the foreign tourists who go to france are just naive people, and i stopped telling them not to come to France for the first reason. the safety of people.
Furthermore, the french police love to annoy you with identity check-up. they just show off where there is no risk and nothing to look at. They are never at the right place when it should be.
When you travel by car in Europe, there is something obvious you can see. In Germany, belgium, Spain, (which are countries around france), you never see police cars everywhere. When you get into France, you see the mess. For instance , 2 month ago i was driving from belgium to enter France, and the french custom stopped everybody. Actually because of europe we dont have borders anymore. And also i have to say compared to the US custom, the french custom doesn't have any procedure.
I mean in the US, everything is clear with the procedure. But with the french customs and police you don't know, to me they look a bit like a milicia. they dont follow a questionnaire, we dont really know what is there procedure.
i like the US police because they follow a procedure. So you feel confident because there is a procedure. with a french policeman you never know they will try to trap you. to find inconsistency in your conversation to try to trap you. for instance, you got a different address on your Car insurance paper and Car paper. And they will try to stress you for 30 minutes on it. but for sure you got nothing to hide, but your life can be complicated due to relocation.
What i want to show here, is the following. france is a sick country.

the neightbours of my parents in France:
2 years ago I quit my job in Spain and came back to France. I lived at my parents house. i was only on my own as they got another workplace on the weekdays.
let me tell you about the neighbours. The closest one on the left of the house is racist, he always speak about the pride of being frnech. In other european countries are just s... to him. We are a powerful country... however his son got no job since 6 years and he is a Msc. he decided to become a state worker. i think he is 28 y old. he had only small jobs like temps. carrying loads... average time of assignation: 15 days.
In the front of house you got a retired person from Paris. Pretty ok because i dont remember anything from him.
On the other side, we got two retired people. (my parents house live in a place where average age is 65 y old. It is like Florida, but it is not florida). They used to spy me. I could see they were standing behind the window all the time. They also admit they were following up what i was doing, saying their retirement was boring. I remember those people telling me how they killed pussycats by throwing them against a tree. They had a female cat and they didn't know what to do with the pussycats after she got pregnant this is how they killed them.
When i go there i'm annoyed. I'm really annoyed.

Francois:
i dont live anymore in France.
je n'habite plus en France depuis bien longtemps.
so i'd also like to speak about french women.
First of all, i never had a girlfriend before 26 years old. Then, i had lots of gf but no french. I never had a compliment from any french girls. I had lots of compliments from any girls as long as i left France.
I grew up with 2 other guys from my generation. They married girls and they all divorced. One girl cheated on one guy and made him crazy. (i knew the guy he was really straight and nice but i dont know what she did, he doesn't speak anymore). The other one didn't wash herself after wedding, she kept everything everywhere, she was a mess, she was worse than the worst guy.
My uncle became declared bankuptcy, he had 100,000 dollars debt because of a french woman he met over the internet.
You know you can say it happens but the frequency of those problem it is 10 times what you can see in any other country. The french girls are self centered, narcissistic.
most of french friends stayed without girlfriend until 30. Then they got frenzy, they go on the internet and they find themselves psychologically twisted girls.
The new generation uses to travel. At 22-23 years old the guys travel to Russia, Morocco, Poland, Hungary, to find a girlfriend or a wife.
just a little comment. The first girl who put interest into me, without me asking anything was american. I was in a state of schoke after so many years i ve been treated like a dog by french girls. Girls who tried to take advantage of me in any sorts. fixing their computers, helping them for homework, giving them documents at the university, being their taxi driver.
thanks god i escaped france because i dont know how i would have finished.

Refrain tous en coeur:
C'était un pauv' garsQui s'appelait ArmandY n'avait pas d'papaY n'avait pas d'maman
C' pauv' gosse naquit dans la misèreAussitôt on lui demandaS'il voulait vivre avec sa mèrePuisqu'il n'avait plus de papa{Refrain:}C'était un pauv' garsQui s'appelait ArmandY n'avait pas d'papaY n'avait pas d'maman
Mais un jour pendant la têtéeTrouvant la nounou un peu plateIl lui souffla dans les nénésJusqu'à c'que la nounou éclate{au Refrain}Son père disparut à treize ansUn soir dans la cour de l'écoleAlors qu'il jouait gentimentA la balle et à pigeon vole{au Refrain}Sa mère qui avait la jaunisseL'avait r'filée à son amantQui attendait l'moment propicePour la repasser à Armand{au Refrain}La seule fille qui en fut amoureuseNe savait que garder ses moutonsElle lui r'fila la fièvre aphteuseEt c'est lui qui garda ses boutons
