you have a point there, foot^3....if we start getting our sexual proclivities from the japanese in greater volume than we already do, we're in for some trouble. That being said, I think the reason that a lot of the people who hate the French do (and remember that the phrase "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" has been around since long befor ethe Iraq fiasco) is because they are just as arrogant as we are. Americans know their country is the greatest on earth, their culture is the most sophisticated, and their technology has contributed the most to the world. So do the French. Obviously, this is the type of thing that will lead to problems...
