It is wise to avoid doing business in France during August, when there is a country-wide closure of most businesses.
It is also worth noting that when a holiday falls on either a Tuesday or a Thursday many French workers take the Monday or Friday off. This is not official and generally does not apply to institutions such as banks or government, however it is sufficiently commonplace to cause difficulties in doing business on occasion. The practice is called "faire le pont" (bridging).
Wait!! Maybe they know something we don't... ;)

ps: If you do business with them, you have to be prepared to dish out a lot of under the table money (second only to Italy) as a "promote fee". We call it graft, they call it just part of doing business.

I think more will be coming out after this is all over and it won't make anyone here any happier.

Was watching the news and they were interviewing Marines who had just taken an hospital that had supposedly been used to torture people. Marines gave the reporter a quick tour. They went into a room with blood splattered walls and there was a big battery sitting on the table with electrodes coming off of it. On the side of the battery in red letters it said "France". Thought it was kind of ironic. Not funny "haha", funny "queer"

I don't know man...I gotta believe the average Euro is just trying to get by, working so their kids can have a better life than they do... it's ha-ha funny, but all kidding aside there's not that much of a difference between us, and in fact many French approve of what we're doing whereas many Americans disapprove. Whatever, I'd rather talk about Toad's Labs or Lazs' V-8s, but I guess we're in a quagmire of war postings.

yep.. we're caught.. in a war. time to pick a side.
yah the t.v's overwhelming.. maint troops hacked up and tossed into shallow graves, surrendering iraq's gunning down troops, suicide bombers, executions and rapes of our pows.... war most hideous.
and every time i hear or see it, i think of france and jaques chirac, and straffo sayin he represents his views.. and that he'd vote for him in the next election.
then i think of rip sayin what a great guy straffo is.. this guy that supports chirac. lets all hum the marsille.
this guy that supports a leader that supports a murdering savage dictators right to continue.. a regime that promotes hideous crimes and atrocities against his own people.. and ours.
and i think there's no room in my world for those kinds of folks anymore. or for the folks that make excuses for them.
when i see straffos posts, when i see blitz posts.. i see the folks that would let the worlds terror states continue on their merry way, slaughtering americans in their offices, on the way to work.. kids in their schools..
how many have to die before the apologists of europe wake up? how many more polands.. how many more cambodias, how many more iraqs??
the hell with it. screw being polite... these folks are beneath contempt.
may god rot their souls.

The baiters are on the road again. Like in the early 1930th.
I would suggest that all the french an germans should where little yellow stars so u have a better chance to identify them.

Wow, you people are downright nasty sometimes.

French fries aren't french, the potato is native to the americas .
Cooked snails however are french .

Denigrating and attacking the entire french populace for the policies of their government is the same mentality that lead to the tragedy of 9/11.

I was in France 4 times, 2 of them was hitchhiking.
I found them to be extremly nice and friendly, was invited 3 times for the night from normal people right from the street and used it :)
I love their food (Croissant au beurre= HMMMMMMMMMMMM ),
wine, girls, ----- Paris ----- and their landscape :)
Only complain is about their toilettes ??? and that they deny to speak any other language than french, glad i had some classes in school :D
Regards Blitz
btw Politically their government sometimes seems to be a little bit arrogant, but heh, they have nukes 2 ;-)

I picked a side,already.
I do not support your governments war mongering politics.
Every person being killed or injured in this war is one to much :(
Every $$ spent in this war could be spent much better at home.
I hate american boys dieing for an incompetent, false, ugly politic
:(
I hate seein innoccent civilians dieing in this war :(
This is not WW2, nothing is crystal clear about the reasons for this war.
The worlds opinion is against your governments war.
Bring ya boys home.

Alas I aint the boss.
Its a damn shame that some of our boys have to hear this ****

They are proud of what they are doing and I am proud of them
You on the other hand, are despicable. You sit on land that is free because of american troops and american values and deny that right to other human beings.
That makes you worse than a coward.

For the past quarter century, Sadam's regiem has killed 100 Iraqi citizens PER DAY. These deaths did not make international headlines every night. The world ignored this problem. I was a bit happier when I was ignorant as well, but that does not mean that the citizens (as a whole) of Iraq were better off last year, than they will be next year.
For the past quarter century, every person being killed or injured by Sadam's regiem was one to much

X2 Lee, So anybody who opposes this war is a coward who shouldn't have the right to voice an opinion? I disagree with that. Blitz or Straffo or any other person here has a right to an opinion, we have a right to disagree. Name calling only reduces a healthy debate into an unhealthy exchange of insults.

Only in hindsight are such things crystal clear. In and before WWII, there were lots of people (in your country espescially) who did not see things so "clearly". Do you think that the people who voted Hitler into power and supported his plan had a "crystal clear"veiw that differed from the rest of the world's veiw?

You totally missed the point.
I am not comparing the US now to Germany in WWII!
If the reasons why it was so right to stop what the Axis were doing in WWII were so darn clear (to us now), how come so many German citizens didn't get what was so clear to everyone else?
The world ignored what was so wrong untill it was almost too late (certainly too late for millions).

Could it be Germans had lost a war 15 years before and are hurt very deeply in their national pride?
Could it be Germans liked that propaganda that their country is the best in the world and superior to others ?
Could it be Germans liked the propaganda that they are superior to others?
Could it be Germans belived the propaganda that war is an extension of politics?
Could it be they liked a propaganda which blames others for all the evil in the world?

In Iraq, lots of people have died for voicing their opinions. Only those who have learned to shut-up are left. Same situation as Germany in the 30s and 40s.
On TV, you see Iraqis chanting a variant of, "Kill America, Sadam is great". Some of them may believe this in their hearts, but most know that saying anything else will quickly result in their own deaths. Same situation as Germany in the 30s and 40s.
Fortunately, the might of democracy has resulted in the possibility for a German and an American to have such a discussion.
I look forward to the day that Iraqis will be able to do the same.

Don't forget the patriotism factor.
You go there as Aggressors without UN permission and 12 years of Un sanctions with 1,5 million iraq people dying didn't help much to win their hearts.

Blitz quote: "Don't forget the patriotism factor.

You think UN Sanction would have changed the attitude of the Iraqi people? What if we didn't go in to Iraq because the U.N. didn't sanction it? I'll tell you what: The Iraqi people would have had a new organization to hate for not helping them.
No Iraqi people died because of UN sanctions, quit spouting that bull****. Saddam could have fed his people, he built palaces instead. Saddam alone is responsible. Blitz, you're a walking disinformation machine... certainly some dictatororial country must be looking for a multilingual lemming like you to spew their lies. You should consider a career change, as gullible as you are.

Straffo's quote about Chirac, was only used to copy the *exact* words of someone here (habu or someone else, I forgot) during a pissing contest. It has been completely taken out of context ever since.
