Is France going downhill, is it just the economy, or are the French and France losing their "je ne sais quoi"?

Several people have now expressed their feeling on this thread that the French are rude. It's only that they differ from the American rules... and... the Americans differ from the French rule. Both have the same grounds to say that the other is rude, and both do.<BR>Folks, unless the UN or the people of the world are prepared to agree to identify one nationality as having THE correct culture, then we can't declare any other culture impolite if it's obeying it's own cultures rules.<BR>Loud, boorish Americans with poorly disciplined brats (by French standards) or blunt, outspoken French (by American standards)... just a culture thing.
