Anyone want to help get a national movement going to call for a boycott of All french products.

Hit em where it counts!!!


I have contacts at 50 of the top radio stations in the nation

anyone want to help design a site host it ect ect.

Come on lets show these bastards



:grrr:

their wine costs me 50 cents a bottle..i'm not exactly making them rich.

Doesnt matter how much you spend

The govt get a % of every cent and use it to help to keep Sadam in power buy buying cheap oil from them and sending them all sorts of military products.

France is in 7 years economic downturn...

fuck the fuckin' bastards,
let's hope you 50 cents wine will be the straw which broke the camel's ass!

That sounds all well and good, but it will likely have the same effect as trade embargos on countries. The little people suffer while the corrupt governments continue to do what they do anyways.

I'll boycott anything EXCEPT the new 2000 Bordeaux's just starting to hit the shelves ... supposedly the best vintage since '61 and '45. I got my hands on a few early releases and needless to say, I'm gonna be buying lots by the case this year.

I'm as patriotic as the next guy, but damnit I won't go without my Bordeaux!

:ph34r:

:bdance: :bjump: :bdance: :cdance:

I am all for boycotting French products, I already have started by refusing to drink evian at some reaturants I went to this weekend... I suffered and drank tap water! HAHA

I am actually serious about boycotting french things, fuck them!!

'61 was a very good year for MANY things :awinky: (I turn 42 this year - do the math......)

I'm not sure of the year, but a ways back, France lost most of their Vineyards, can't remember if teh cause was drought or disease or some other form of pestilence... But,

At that time, virtually all of France's vineyards were replanted with cuttings from California Vineyards (makes sense since most of California Vineyards were started with French Cuttings).. So, when you drink French Wine, you are actually drinking the same grape as California....

Save yourself the import fees and be Patriotic at the same time...

Drink California Wine !!!!

If you want to help out one of our staunchest Allies...

Drink Australian Wine !!!!

Boycott the French Wines !!!! Dump them down the drain....

Besides if you go experiment a bit, you will find some really really excellent California Wines on the shelfs at $7.00 a bottle.......

Love that Gundlach Bundschu... Sonoma Valley.... Yummmmmmmmmmmm

I got an idea... let's all boycott IRAQ.

Wait, you all drive big ass SUVs that get about 3 gallons per mile... you couldn't live without the oil.

Too bad, so sad.

Alex

Sarattah I am with you! I prefer wines from the NAPA region..... hard to beat Caymus, Silver Oak, Joe Phelps, etc....


I have had some nice Aussie wines as well that CJ pointed me too!!

Support the ALIANCE!!

FUCK THE FRENCH!!

Alex,

Who is "you all"?

I drive an economy car, thank you very much......

And boycotts on Iraq haven't worked very well because the fucking frogs keep on trading with them anyway.......

France is gonna choke...
now Netpond, XBIZ and GFY joined Oprano in Holy War!

Hmmm - let's see - my SUV gets 20 MPG and the last time I drove it I had 7 people in it.....How many people fit in a 30 MPG econobox? :nyanya:

I'm on my way to Atlanta where I will fill it up completely with groceries and non-perishables and I won't have to drive it again for another month for supplies.

Let's not even bring up the simple fact that a 4cyl wimp engine wouldn't even allow me to leave my home at all on rainy days like today, lol!

Sometimes those real life examples jump up to bite you in the butt B)

Can't think of one damned thing I buy that comes from France anyhow!!!

"Frennch Ticklers"?
;-))

Count me in. Fuck France.
:snipe: :woo: :kapow: FRANCE :shooter:

Where do I sign up - France is a bunch of whores they always been and will always be

:snipe: :kapow:

our Russian brothers join the aliance...

Peaches, for every one person that has a real reason to have an SUV, there is some poser out there driving to work each day alone... eating up fuel and all - the continued increase in demand for fossil fuels in the US (131 billions gallons last year, if numbers I have read are correct) - is something that continues to put the western world at the feet of these tin pot dictators...

Here... an idea from someone I respect greatly (who shoots guns even... )

http://www.automobilemag.com/columns/0303_...americandriver/

You won't like it.. but it is about a million times more productive than not drinking french wine.

Alex

Alex every Vehicle I drive has a v8 in it....

I enjoythe power and the speed. My SUVs burn less gas them my classics....

However, the problem with Oil is not Iraq.... it is the liberal in the US who will not let us drill for oil in our own back yards! We have enough oil in the US to last this nations needs for the next 100 years... we just need to drill it!

Alex, the issue with Iraq is not oil - at least this time - it is about a dictator having WMD - refusing to give them up, and not living up the the cease fire.

Forest,
the website you have requested is DONE!

http://208.179.237.183/index.htm

down with France!

I agree... maybe we should start getting off the oil before we concern ourselves with the French.

'61 was a very good year for MANY things :awinky: (I turn 42 this year - do the math......)[/b][/quote]
I turned 42 this month :gbounce:


fuck the fench, and to think my grandfather got shot and captured in france and spent the last year of the war in a german pow camp for the bastards :grrr:

from now on, when I go to mickeyDs for fries I calling them freedom fries :rokk:

Check your stock and mutual funds portfolio for French stocks (Vivendi...) and write your mutual fund company.

I remember this strategy was very successful with fighting apartheid when activists got all the endowment funds of universities to divest themselves of any South African investments.

thanx

Serge,

Ill get working on getting the word out
:okthumb:

Hmmm... WE put the western world at the feet of them ???

hmmm.. sounds like the REST of the western world doesn't have much to offer, do they.....

How WE (the U.S.) is RESPONSIBLE for the ENTIRE western world is beyond me.....

I thought most of the many nations that make up the WESTERN WORLD were fairly autonomous and did their own thing....

The U.S. dependence on Oil is the U.S.'s problem, thank you very much.....

We have a history of taking care of our own problems, sometimes the right way, sometimes the wrong way.....

But, unlike OTHER members of the Western World that exist in this hemisphere, we don't rely on someone else to fight our battles for us......

I remember when I was stationed in Bermuda. We would get ships from all over the world in there...

Most countries ships were so pretty and shiny.... Canadians would come in with all their brass shined up, looking all spiffy and new..... The same for the Norwegians and tyeh Swedish.....

The U.S. ships were rusty, breaking apart... dirty hulks.....

Got talking about it with some folk and asked "how come our ships look like shit while the rest of em that come in here are so pretty?", The answer given to me was "Well, we actually use our ships, we don't bring them into dry dock just because it's raining"

huh??? :huh:

what does our oil use have to do with the french?

if you need oil,
you can always squeeze your boss...

Great idea and website! Thanks for the listing of their brands. I'll share it with my friends.
:bulb1:

Not sure if you've heard this one but recently it was said that going to war without the French is like going to war without an accordian. :P

huh??? :huh:

hahahahahahhahahahahaha,
good one!
;-))))

The proble with Iraq is not oil, but Mike AI, you have it wrong too...

One of our problems is that we are addicted to oil. (that is not causing the current conflict, but it is an issue)

Alcohol is a cleaner fuel and has been available much longer than oil.... It also can be produced by just about anything.

We stopped putting our development money into Alcohol along about the turn of the century... Not because it wasn't viable, but predominantly because of the Temperance movement.

The big oil companie have the bucks to command policy and as far as they are concerned, there is no need to put money into Alcohol or other Alternatives until we have pumped every bit of oil we can out of the ground.....

We do not need more oil wells, we do not need more Oil imports... We need more money going into developing the Fuel Alcohol industry in our country... Take us totally off of any foreign dependence.....

I know this idiot,
the SUCKIEST designs on the net....
who also swore to never post here again
;-))

what a DIP !

Forest, forgive him,

Now it makes sense :okthumb:

forrest, I dont have icq here at the office, ring me 1-800-445-3119

Alex I think your logic is seriously flawed regarding connecting SUV owners & Iraq. But here's one for you:

Back up all your constant complaints about the USA by refusing all current and future checks from US based sponsors.

If you don't do that, then wouldn't your SUV arguments be hypocritical?

Ok, I happened to have a domain lying around

or AWRATS.................

It now does a zero refresh to the boycott page.... I will leave it that way until we don't need it any more :)

(dont worry about what AWRATS was originally going to mean...lolololol)

Mike, the war isn't about oil on the surface - but the difference in approaches between someone who might be re-armed one day (Saddam) and someone who is (permed haired leader of North Korea) shows that there is a difference here.

North Korea doesn't have anything about it that is interesting to the US... so no war to remove a dictator with a nuclear bomb. Containment is good for this one.

Because the US (and most western countries) are Oil dependant to the max (including for the plastic that made your keyboard), the west ends up at the feet of these countries too often. Most economies would go to shit if a couple of the OPEC members decided to take a week off of producing oil. Already you can see that higher oil prices are having a negative effect (although not as bad as some people predicted when I suggested a small increase in gas taxes a few months back!).

There are MAJOR economic reasons to get rid of Saddam and replace him with a UN friendly government. The huge oil reserves could finally be tapped at a reasonable level, maybe bringing Iraq back past 4 million barrels per day, and with development, maybe up to 8 million barrels per day. Considering that OPEC members are currently capped at 24.5 million barrels per day, that would be a HUGE increase in the amount of oil available, which would push down the price and bring good things to the economies of the west.

If you think oil isn't the reason all this is going on, try to explain it in North Korean terms... then suddenly it becomes way more obvious.

Boycotting France isn't going to change the economics of the situation, it is just going to put up ANOTHER wall.

Alex

Damn, according to that website, Universal Studios is a French company. I never knew that. Are you guys going to boycott all movies from Universal?

That one could be tough. I hope the Matrix isn't from Universal or I'll be crossing the picket line!!

:P

Sword, I am not complaining about the US and SUVs... I am complaining about the entire western world and it's love of fossil fuels. Don't try to put my in an anti-US spin... I refuse categorically to discuss politics anymore here, it is pointless. Notice I said "western world"... that includes Canada....

This isn't ANTI-US... it is ANTI-getting up the ass from some dictator because we are all stupid enough to lube up and back towards him.

Spin that.

Alex

Oh, I looked quick... NISSAN is owned by Renault now... so I trust nobody will buy a Nissan anymore either... and I am sure you will all get rid of your alcatel DSL modems...

Tee-hee... this is fun.

Alex

I've got it! Let's use the french wine to run our cars!

Sare, you've gotta just smile at Raw Alex sometimes, he loves to bash the US while he counts his US money and drives his US Harley Davidson. He is a contradiction to himself, but we love him anyway. :nyanya:


edit: my dang quote wasn't working right

If you're boycotting everything French,
are you going to give the statue of liberty back?

Ah that is the one thing we can agree on Alex!!! If you replace UN with US
Fuck the UN, it doesn't work. Never has, never will
and forget the French - they are not worth fucking. France will eventually collapse

Your AWESOME!!! :wnw:

Carrie, politely, f-off, okay? I am not trying to bash the US - I am pointing out how silly it is to boycott France... and how simple things by the ENTIRE western world could change the economics of the situation.... and honestly, what the fuck does my job have anything to do with anything? More crappy spin to discredit an idea, not by attacking the idea but by attacking the bearing of the message. That is sad, petty, and worthless.

I don't talk politics here anymore for that exact reason.

Alex

Alex, earlier you said:

the continued increase in demand for fossil fuels in the US (131 billions gallons last year, if numbers I have read are correct) - is something that continues to put the western world at the feet of these tin pot dictators...


You are clearly putting the Western World's Oil problems upon the feet of the U.S.

now.... Spin that
