49 coutrnies ?

Is this the same silly list that includes Germany because it supports us by "giving overflight rigths to our B52s" ?

Bit of a stretch, isn't it ?

Since you choose to hit & run I'd probably have to settle for getting your license plate #, a corroberating witness or two and call the police as well as a lawyer.

Actually, the police were there trying to keep them out of the street. They apologized to me and hauled him off. Apparently they have a little more knowledge of US law than you do.

Hey Wabbit I really would suggest only to buy US products. US citizens buy US (we made the same with the Jews long time before and u know it was soooo cool

"Deutsche kaufen deutsch").

And never buy a computer again (to many chinese parts in it) but wait its only France and Germany and no other country thats against war.

We'll see who gets the last laugh...especially if as much as one single French hand grenade made post 91 is found in Iraq...

As for not buying French stuff...granted it is only my wallet, and one wallet will not really do any difference.

But it starts somewhere, and I will do my utmost to get my friends to boycott French stuff too.

And you can bet your *** that if I find myself in a workplace where I'll have anything to say about matters, I will NEVER do business with any French company if there is a choise in the matter.

You reap what you saw French guys...you had your time in the media spotlight with mr Chirac. You threw your sticks in the US wheels, delayed the invasion for months, effectively forcing them to invade at the worst possible time (summer in the desert). Whether you understand that or not, that delay will cost lots of life.

Now face the consequences.

Hortlund.........you're a Swede, shame on you. You don't know who AB Volvo is? Well, I'm not going to flame you, but go find out. AB Volvo sold their Volvo "car" division to Ford...(for lots of cash) to focus on their commercial divisions worldwide.

I did a quick search of the MGL (MAss Gen Law librayr) and the laws have been changed to only support a pedestrians right-ofway in a defined crosswalk.

So. Since you 'extended' from the merge and all I would see were your dwindling tailights I would have had no recourse but to holler some tasteless expressions and derogatory ancestral remarks in your direction.

Actually, I stopped. As I said before, the police that were there trying to keep order apologized to me, then dragged him off as he was screaming insults. I doubt he would have taken a swing at me.

Next time I'll add a few MPH to my speed, see what happens. Dang speed limit is only 20 mph there, though.
