Author Topic: Boycott of French Products Ad Campaign (Read 2048 times)

I doubt that today in the international linked economic world there are products made by one nation.

This boycott-nonsense is sometimes funny.

I read something about a proud US-patriot who sold his Volkswagen because it was made in Germany - only to buy a Chrysler.

I will continue to buy GOOD products - and I dont care if they are build in Germany, USA or whatever country.

french wine, evian, perrier made in switzerland?

just squelching THESE three soley made in france items would pinch the french.

already own a french product? why burn it? that WOULD be stupid. yer just torching your money. buying a NEW french replacement? that would be supporting french intrests. Already have IL2? Enjoy. looking to buy a copy? don't. get a pal to rip a copy for yah, or buy one used. plenty of places to find that kinda stuff.

think about where yer money goes.. who it benefits. plenty of service companys work on french products.. without a dime of that money going to france. nothin wrong with gettin the oil changed in yer citroen, or loadin up that already purchased copy of IL2...

buy american. think american. of course, if yer not an american, i'd expect you to vist this thread and tell us how stupid we are.

have a nice day.

there is a difference between playing it and paying for it.

well I'm french.....hmm french canadian that is.

I appreciate good food.......French that is...but I still like my double cheese with DIET coke:D

I like Wine.....French wine is still the best....some American wines are coming along fine though.....

French women are still the best(don't forget...french women are NOT only in France).....

Every American I talked too here in Montreal...all say the same thing....the FOOD....the WOMEN....the WINE.

If ya gonna boycott the French...please refrain from coming to Montreal or Quebec city....all things are French

but ya gonna miss out on some FINE food, women an wine.

btw....just a little side note....soon ya won't have to boycott anything.....closing the borders like you have will certainly do a fine job by itself

we here on this side of the border are having alot of trouble crossing in....yet none have trouble coming here......

hope your paranoia stops soon:cool:

Thanks for the list. Printed it out for myself and I'll spread it around to my friends.

Oh..and if anyone wonders why the US is doing a ground attack in Iraq in "sandstorm/hot as owen" -season...ask the French. (In case you needed any sort of motivation as to why I'm doing my best to hurt the French economy)

I avoided Montreal and Quebec BEFORE I started avoiding French products.

Closing our borders is hardly paranoia. I haven't seen any major terrorist attacks in Canada lately. I have seen many of the terrorists in the US enter through Canada, though. Hence the need for updated security.

I've been to Montreal and Quebec. I thought they were both beautiful cities. I just found the majority of people to be extremely rude. I'd much rather go to South America. It costs only a little more to fly than to drive to Montreal, and it is cheaper. Plus I've found the people to be much nicer.
