I do not know how to answer your question. Maybe french society puts a
higher emphasis on what makes life happier. We are probably more
"rooted" in traditions, regions than north americans are.
=
What?  like how all of those radical aliens are overrunning France?

Money, though important, is not revered as it is in the US.
==
What?  Like all of the corrupt (money grabbing/greedy) French leadership?

But as said xxx "All generalizations are wrong",
==
What? xxx?  French girlie flicks? <<== whatcha got?

US host many lifestyles from NY socialites,
to texan rednecks, reclusive amishes, miami weigh lifters and countless
others...
===
What? You forgot about the millions of French Americans that escaped France.

As for the "hate", it is probably not so widespread outside the mass
media.
=====
What?  French Bashing? Wishful thinking on your part?

 It may be the inability to cope with the fact that other people
are no longer in awe with the so called "American way of life" and US
foreign policy.
=====
What?  Like how the USA and England saved France's butt
during the last WW?

 Hate supposes a strong feeling such as coming from the
betrayal of someone whose love and affection you seek.
====
What?  Like how that corrupt Chirac backstabs the USA?
AND the USA has never (and never will) seek the love
and affection of the corrupt and 'over the hill' France.

 And what irks some US commenters is IMHO that french are
mostly indifferent (do not care) about the us which is often tagged
as "arrogance".
=====
What? Arrogance?  Like how you ( LordAvalon) are making all
of these presumptuous claims or assumptions?

 Most of french loath us foreign policy (as most europeans and US
citizens according to the polls)
======
What?  The USA is NOT governed by daily frequently changing polls.
The USA is governed by elected officials that include the USA President.

 but have a fondness for us popular culture and us citizens
as individuals (easygoing, friendly...).
======
What?  USA individuals easygoing & friendly?
