Just a tid bit of Information for those that are activiley boycotting French products. I was watching Fox News and found out that NISSAN may be considered Japanese but is actually owned by a French Holding Company. Guess it goes to show that you never know who ownes what in this world.
guys, if we boycotted products made by another country that has different views from us, we would have to make everything for ourselves, just like we did 50 years ago....OK boycott the Chineese, they are comunist, boycott the Japanesse, they like Tom Waits, boycot Germeny, they like David Hasselhoff....boycott Canada, cause they say eh?
my point is that this country was based on not letting a forgiegn country tell us what to do, and now we are becomeing hipocrates, by telling other countrys what to do. should France help out a 230 year old ally? I say yes, but they also have a worse economy than we do, and also told us not to go into Vietnam, the French tried to hold Vietnam for 15 years, got thier butts kicked, left, told Kennedy it was a mistake, and 10 years later, we fled like the French.....Even the Germans do not want to go to war.
My personal view is a mixed one, I can see both argueements for and against war, and I do not know where I stand, but this whole anti French mentality only makes me laugh. Lets look at this new "Freedom" Fries bit and remove the word French from othe things....
ok, Freedom Kiss me baby...nah
She is wearing a Freedom cut bikini......is that freedom of having no bikini?
freedom dressing?
though I do agree, lets boycott French cars, they are ugly!
Kids, if your mom is French, and you do not want to do your chores, boycott her! lets see how long that will last, if it was my French mother when I as 9, it would have ended in 30 seconds....
also, if we are removing all French things, does that mean the French Canadians are now Freedom Canadians?
is a Merlot now a robust red wine?
It can go on and on, and I see George Carlin having a ton of material
Actually I am glad the post was made……tomorrow I am going to the ceremony to honor out local reserve unit which has been activated to go overseas. I was a member of the unit for seven years and still have many friends in it, in fact one of my best friends is still in the unit, he is a father of three with one more on the way. Another friend (in a reserve ranger unit) just got back from Afghanistan ,he was over there a year and a half and his son was just a few weeks old when he left.
Some of these guys may also have mixed feelings about the war but they are going to do the job they were trained to do, there is a lot of scarifying that many of Americans or going to face and I think the boycott is great to show support for our troops.
Lets not let this get turned into another debate of if we should or should not be over there in the first place, our troops are over there by the decision of our government, they are following orders and have a job to do.
Their job will be a lot easer if they know the they have support from the American people behind them.

one reason why some of the countries are against war is not because of "peace" it's becuase they have so much money invested in iraq oil business. and if america invades they think we are gonna take the oil business right from underneath them.
Let's keep it CIVIL this time (and that doesn't mean a "civil" war)

Twister......all of your comments are extremely political. You've pulled other threads for being such. Be a man and pull your own now or be a hypocrit.
I think you thread is argumentative. I posted a thread on here a few weeks ago suggesting that we boycott French and German products. After a few posts you claim to me in a PM that it was political or problematic. A few weeks later you post this thread suggesting the opposite. I really believe that you are censoring and then posting your own political agendas. If you were truly a fair person, then you would edit out that which was offensive in my original post, or not post at all.
So what is it?

I'm with GTDan on this one! All censorship is political.
Maybe he didn't like that I was getting the better of you
;-)
Just Kidding!
On a brighter note, it seems our "allies" are still financing our destruction.
