You are a tourist, know one expects you to be able to communicate well with the locals.

That's just so wrong. If you can't speak any of the language, don't expect to have an easy time getting around or finding things out. Neither France nor Italy are countries where the majority of people speak English fluently. It's exceptionally irritating when tourists expect locals to speak their language.
You get a translator. My friends when to russia and they got a translator / guide dude and it was pretty affordable.

I've heard that France is pretty filthy and not a great place to be. 
Southern france looked pretty nice and scenic... it is my favoritle place to be in mohaas too. But the pictures I have seen of italy, citys like abruzzi (sp) and sorrento... they just blow france away.

I've been around, and Italy is by far the better of the two.

I've been to France. I went to Trier. Theres a fantastic theme park there with a massive tower which goes up really fast, and then down. France was brilliant to me, but then again i am only 12 :P

Yeah, that sounds like a great idea :)

Seems to be a lot of strange anti-French sentiment floating around? Not really very logical to call an entire country 'filthy'.

No, not logical, Mr. Vulcan.

Anyway, France was just dirty. The only cool thing I saw in France was in Normandy. Paris was just filthy and its nothing I hadn't seen before in textbooks. It was lackluster and not impressive.

If you go to Italy stay in the northern part, the whole southern part of Italy is mob run. So if you do something wrong, be ready for a hassle. :)

But it's the truth. My 8th grade French teacher, who definitely wasn't anti-French as her husband was born in France, talked about how filthy it is there. (Mainly because they allow dogs everywhere.)

I went to France, and Frenchmen are terribly rude.
