They have a thing called Paris Syndrome, tourists go there thinking its going to be something from an old romantic tale and are shocked to discover its a shithole.
Shithole is something of an exaggeration. For all of its faults, it's still got reasons to visit. Or to put it another way, if Paris is a shithole, you must not have been to many real shitholes.

@flamebouyant , you have spent more time in France/Paris there than anyone else here (I think). Your thoughts?

Paris is far from a shithole! Sure enough it has some really rough suburbs as any big city does, the metro and trainlines are confusing as fuck and the streets completely congested, but it is also filled with stunning architecture, history, amazing cultural exhibitions, restaurants, bars, nightlife, and stunning woman.
Would i live there? No. But id sure as hell rather live there then western sydney!!!!! Lol
I have been to some shithole places in my time, paris is hardly one of them.

Why would anyone go to France? Or even Europe?

It's full of Arabs now, they turned it into the Mid East part 2.

I'm sure the bit of truth will trigger some lefty poof.

France has definitely changed in the last few years. It went from the gold standard of living then the PC activists forced the government to take in more people than it could sustain now those PC activists are rioting because their comfortable lifestyles have changed.
Have you ever been to france? It appears to me that you have no idea what your talking about.

No never been there so I wouldn't have a clue that France has free healthcare, free scripts and free education.. Just did a Google not free education anymore but healthcare is best in the world

Could be, but that's racist too lol
Lol
I don’t think so

Old mate said there are plenty of fuckwits in America

As you said American takes in massive amounts of migrants

I’m asking a question? Are those the fuckwits he is talking about?
If not who?

Either way he is the racist
I’m not suggesting either are fuckwits

But simply trying to figure out who he was referring to

Let’s let him answer so we can see who he is racist towards

America migrants?
Or existing American citizens?

Been to many countries around the world.

You quickly learn something, all people care about is putting bread on the table and a roof over their head

My favourite spot was the Louvre, and I am someone who isn't big on museums/galleries. But it is something special.
