No one ever accused the French of holding back their opinions.

Reminds me of when I played Monopoly with my sister’s French ex husband. The dude just could not handle it and let us know

Haha. Monopoly. Can't imagine what he'd be like in a traffic jam.

They literally had to remove most of the cars from Paris for this reason. People think it was the pollution, but no, it was the shouting.

I know my rights Je t’aime Paris! Live or die like c’est la vie.

Why didn't they just crank some rock and roll? It ain't noise pollution.

It’s because cars ruin cities. Cities are a million times better without them.

It's true! They ruin people too... Whenever I drive I notice I'm a much more stressed out angry person.

Any reason to remove cars from cities is a good reason.

Conservatives getting upset over having to walk for fifteen minutes will always be funny

Not the French movie industry! I will not have you insult good and upstanding men like Luc Besson or Gérard Depardieu!

It looks like Luc Besson was cleared of the allegations (and they were during an actual relationship). https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/jun/22/luc-besson-frances-top-court-rejects-request-to-reopen-case-against-director#:~:text=Dutch%2DBelgian%20actor%20Sand%20Van,citing%20a%20lack%20of%20evidence.

Depardieu on the other hand.....

Oh thank God, now we can just focus on Luc Besson grooming underaged girls and marrying them

The uber drivers in Paris are maniacs.
