France and germany boycotting our products.

Huh?

Popular American music and movies? I don't even buy them myself. And Nike shoes are so narrow that you can hardly get them on.

Now, America is the greatest nation ever, IMO. But for different reasons.

 

Thank God for America, honestly. But you have to admit that our food and wines are the best 9not to mention our perfumes and fashion). So is our health system !!! LOL

But still, POB, do you think 23 and 18 percetn are numbers to be worried about?

 

Wow! Huge percentages of foreigners in the boycott!

23% and 18%!


Does that mean that 77% and 82% are NOT boycotting US goods? </font>[/QUOTE]C4K,

You ALWAYS see the positive!!!!! I love reading your posts.

 

Thanks LG - glad somebody enjoys them ..

I'm a poor judge of wine as I've rarely had it. As for food (on which I am an authority ) the prize goes, I think, to Germany. No offense to France, but for my taste they garnish it with too much extra stuff, and eat too little of it. But I've only been there once, and maybe got the "wrong stuff".

As to fashions, I have to agree with Daniel David (a rare occurence in itself).

As to the health care "system", the best system IMO is going to your doctor, getting treated, and paying him, with private insurance coverage for catastrophic illnesses. Governments and insurance companies becoming over-involved simply add cost and provide opportunities for people to skim money off without providing any useful function.

Having said all of that, I've nothing against France, I've known and dealt with some great people there.

 

Isnt Target French owned?

Hey I love the didge too! I made one out of a piece of PVC pipe. Still trying to get the hang of that circular breathing.

If you are wondering what a didge is click here

 

So have you ever eaten Snails Bill? Maybe they might go pretty good on a plate of Ice Cream?

In all seriousness I would love to visit France at some stage, especially the countryside. What I have heard is that France is very heavily Catholic, yet a more liberal form of Catholic than what we have here.

In fact I nearly once bought a Peugot so there you go!

 

Ben, I think you've pretty much reached the end of the line when you buy a Pugeot.

 

I LOVED my Peugeot 505! It was a "banger" as we say here - but I thought it was GREAT!!

 

Okay - I agree to boycott French snails.

 

Two of my daughters love to eat snails, but it's always been in a Chinese restaurant.
I was brave enough to make the attempt once but gave up. I can't figure out how you're supposed to get them out of the shell. LOL My kids never had a problem, but I tried on and off for almost an hour and still couldn't get the technique down.
That's my excuse and I'm stickin with it!

I dont blame them. Not that im anti war but if you bomb a country under false pretenses I can see how other countries would be upset.

Especially germany and france whos county have been devestated twice in this century.
