Boycott of American Goods

[Anthony Ng]

Talking about boycott, a growing number of restaurants in Germany are taking everything American off their menus to protest the Iraq war:

Damn Germans are still sore about world war II

A gas station in the USA refused to provide gas to a driver from Canada simply because Canada isn't providing troops in Iraq.

The USA has changed French Fries to "Freedom Fries" because France doesn't approve of the war.

Seems to me, the USA has some problems too.

ONE (1) ..... gas station.

"The USA"... did not change the name of french fries.

A quick trip to almost any restaurant - in almost any city in the USA - will show that.

These types of isolated events happen everyday (different topics). They just don't always make the news.

Besides - who cares? Why is it a "problem" that these things happen? There are way too many REAL problems in the world - and SERIOUS issues to worry about. Who the hell cares what people are calling their deep fried potato slices?

on a more serious issue
i think that both the UK and USA have to realise that this war is damaging already bad relationships with other countires in the world

I guess many Germans will jump in and tell you that WW2 is NOT a fight between Germany and the US.

 

[system0]

good point

Germany is irrelevant, anyway.

 

[system0]

i have to disagree

from a uk point of view i dont think its good to fall out with any other major european nation

 

[CoolHost.com]

That's because Scotland is even MORE irrelevant!!




J/K ... just bustin' your chops.
LOL.

 

[system0]

hey dont slag off scotland

we invented the televison and the telephone so without us there would be no internet

 

[CoolHost.com]

What about golf, too??

 

[system0]

im not too sure if we actually invented it - i know they say scotlands the home of golf but im not 100% sure we invented it

Colin Montgomerie lost a lot of weight!

 

[Anthony Ng]

Are you sure about telephone? I thought Bell (a Canadian) invented that. My telephone bill is still with Bell Canada!

Oh yeh, Canada is irrelevant, too!
