Are the French more patrician than most people? I live in the UK and I get the impression they are.

>Hollande fucks other woman
>no fucks given

>houellebecq insults islam
>doesn't get convicted

Are they patrician??

French has always been among the most patrician languages, only coming close behind Latin, Ancient Greek and Sanskrit.

Just looked that up, insulting Islam is actually a crime in your country? That's the saddest thing I've ever heard, please get out before you too are convicted of a thought crime.

Scottish person living in France, some are very patrician (ones I know in Paris) who will literally sit about making Moliere references and going to galleries, but there's some that see me reading Germinal and ask me what it's like cos they've never read it
