Frogboy,

As a very junior teenager you really don't have much to add to the conversation here. You lack any experiance and credibility. In short, concentrate on growing up and learning instead of trying to act like you know anything. :rolleyes:

It seems the UN had a vote and France did not agree
To raid the land we call Iraq and set those people free

So patriotic citizens decided to boycott
All things French but sorry boys, French is all I got.

My Renault rides on Michelins, To shave I use a Bic
My speedboat is a Beneteau, now don't think I'm a dick

I'm right behind you all the way In punishing those Frogs
But Jerry Springer is my hero and a poodle is my dog.

Dannon Yogurt keeps me thin Roquefort makes me fat
Pierre Cardin keeps me clothed from shoes up to my hat,

I know the French are terrible, I can't disagree
I saw it all on CNN on  RCA TV.

But without my Allegra my nose runs and I sneeze,
So boycott French is easier without these allergies.

To show that I'm a patriot I'll send in a donation
First Hawaiian is my bank America is my nation.

My coffee comes from Krups' machine, my clubs are Taylor Made
My scuba gear is Aqua Lung, I cook on Lancome

We toast events with Dom Periginon My wife wears Maybelline
I'm still just an American who reads Elle Magazine.

About your boycott if I could I really would deliver
But Glinlivet just tastes too good And marinates my liver.

I would write more if I could but I have to run
We have to catch an Air France jet for a week of Club Med fun.

Kind of like most of us American business men who have poured millions of dollars into making your province a viable entity.  You think we actually listen to you liberal frogs, those who have destroyed the soul of Montreal, anymore?  Think again.  If you want colorful, go down rue St.Catherine, as for me, I say it like it is.

Duedel,

What I hope is that the American companies on this lst will take steps to buy back their interests held by foriegn countries. In other words for it to be a true American company it should be owned and managed by Americans not by a foriegn based company that will make decisions based on their "world or country" view. That type of situation could end up pitting the American company at a counter point to it's own country and economy.

I for one would like to see Chrysler totally disengaged from Daimler (sp?) as an example.

Yeah, and give back all the foreign money soaked up in the american NYSE (quote from an analyst goes as far as "no, we do not produce growing revenues... we produce american capital by sucking it up on the stock market... and we can have it going on without real revenues for years to come")

BTW Daimler bought Chrysler, not the other way around.

I could go on , but im just too fed up with the new american imperialism. Getting too emotional even now.

Why don`t you have a good, american cup of STFU. And think of  all the mercedes, hondas, heckler & kochs, berettas, infineons, samsungs, sonys, bmws, cristal etc etc. that make the american way of life what it is.

Why don't you look up the definition of imperialism, then go back to crying in your brotwurst.

Oh hey, that reminds me.  Have you been able to find a similar list of companies owned by descendents of Jew murdering Nazi filth?

If so, pass it along as well.  Thanks.
