  5. The French are very equal. But the annoying thing is they don't know how to stop being rude. I don't see them as having 'vertical hierarchy'. I see them as being a tad immature. But Britain has become a lacklustre version of them. Everyone as good as each other, especially the arrogant fool.

  8. In Japan they have silo management structures (top down.)
    In France they have silo administration structures (bottom up.)

  11. lmao seems more like NY's 'rude for no reason' attitude with the same delusions of grandeur that they have there. Looking for disagreement sounds like such a headache
