Sales of French wine in the United States fell by 26.2 percent

Can one of the moderators explain why this thread is still open?

 

Yeah, it's so difficult to follow a thread when I have to read

Man... Live Free or Die is hilarious. If I ever run into you can have some freedom fries on me. Hell, and some freedom toast and freedom mustard and liberty cabbage and extreme-nationalism cola. I might even give you a huge freedom-kiss on the way home from the 100% Paul "Dreamboat" Wolfowitz certified "non-french" movie. Dude, you should seriously form a committee to send the statue of liberty back to France. I'd write a check for that in a heart beat. After that a committee can be formed to change all the names of french sounding US cities to more patriotic american things. DeKalb could be changed to "depressing place with corn" and Des Plaines can be changed to the way more obvious "da plane". River Des Peres in St. Louis can be changed to "conrete ditch". Also - I was baptized at St. Francis De Sales (french guy) church in St. Louis. Maybe we could change that to St. Reagan church?

I wish the people who boycotted French wine also boycotted German cars as the Germans were as against the war as the French. To see wealthy republicans driving ::gasp:: american or japanese cars would have been awesome.


Either way, at the very least these people could be courteous to their fellow americans when they're "boycotting" their wine (that they already bought) into the gutters. I've heard drinking wine from a bucket rules....

Since the Soviet Union was the one who really saved everyone's arses in WWII, please allow me to re-sumbit my utter disdain at Europe's unwillingness to help us during our well-justified and nearly-victorious liberation of Afghanistan from corrupt exploiters of the working class and the international imperialist clique.
Why, as I was growing up in a small town in Moldavia I don't remember ever eating French cheese, drinking English ale or driving a Mercedes! I applaud my American brothers (though imperialist pigs as they are) for having the same bravery as I did.

Now, I am about to finish my piece of lemon meringue pie someone brought to work. "Meringue" sounds French, or at leas has a French-like spelling. So there. Up yours, Bushie!

 

France is attempting world domination??

 

France are indeed attempting to take over the world by launching a surprise attack on Washington next month, and then retreating to the Bordeaux region. There they will cunningly lull the Americans by surrendering as soon as they see an American tourist. And then, they'll proclaim their culture, language and food is the best, and occupying forces from the USA will agree. When the troops go home, they'll insist on eating bread in a javelin format, wearing stripey jumpers, and go on strike every other week.

 

very intelligent. 12 year olds really shouldn't be making websites.

 

Nice to see that even morons now take web-development classes...

(well what did you expect - of course it's not a real site ... Outside of LFOD's tiny, empty little world, who's got the time, the inclination or the lack of dignity to even bother?)

 

Certainly nobody.

Why America Sucks

 

Thanks. Knew someone would oblige.

[clears throat]

Are you saying these people don't inhabit LFOD's 'tiny, empty little world'??

Coz that would be fascinating ...

 

Thanks. Knew you'd oblige.

[scratches balls]

Are you saying that 'these people' engaging in ridiculous America-bashing live in a tiny, empty little world??

I know you don't normally like to admit that, but an appeal to your ego couldn't miss...

 

LFOD, could you please explain how Americans buying Aussie wine instead of French wine helps America?

And before you give the political answer - for all you know, the wine-growers of Australia could be opposed to the current US Government whereas the wine-growers of France could be supportive of it.

I understand the concept of a foreign boycott (including France) if you were buying produce of your own country. For instance, I have always bought at least UK (and normally Scottish) meat and milk. I do this because it benefits communities that I have had contact with, even though I don't work in the industry.

But I cannot understand for the life of me buying one set of foreign produce instead of another set as a matter of conscience.

 

Re: USA Today Poll

LOL! Ah, unwitting hilarity. The staple diet of an LFOD post.

Do US pollsters have members of "the public" on retainer? By the evidence above, this "public" is the same "public" that said it believed 9/11 was perpetrated by Iraqis.

A right gaggle of Norberts, in other words ...

 

Erm ... yes. Quite obviously.

Glad you could make it. And don't do that in public, it's grotesque.

 

Bush firing up his neonazicon buddies,we are not falling down oh no.We are the best yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaa

 

And by buying US wine, you could be undermining the US - Nancy Pelosi is a limousine liberal who owns alot of napa valley vineyard property. In fact, there's lots of limousine liberals up there in wine country, rich California dillettantes who like to make chablis and snivel.

However, punishing the perfidious French is a good thing. The Aussies weren't trying to lead a pro-Saddam coalition like the French.

Who knows, maybe the ownership of McDonald's are a bunch of liberals. That won't stop the anti-Americans in europe from targeting them.

 

Lance Armstrong should be executed right away. he was seen by billions of TV viewers drinking French Champagne to celebrate his 5th victory in Le tour de France. How dare he.
And he calls himself a friend of George "emperor of Irak" Bush Jr? Friends like that...

 

I disagree, he showed the world that even the US Postal Service makes europeans look like they're stationary.

For that he can have a little Dom Perrignon

 

If I could be bothered to pay for membership, I would use this as a signature.

By the way, I hope you are "punishing" all those other "perfidious" countries, ie Russia, Germany, China and so on...

I see that you still support the German national team. Ah, such wonderful hypocrisy. Who did that German politician compare Bush with?

 

My support for Germany goes back to the '70s, before the US had any stature. But now that our US team has some players, the mannschaft must take second place.

Does that make me a hypocrite? Oh well, I've got Jefferson Airplane recordings and they preached communist revolution. Some of their best songs were commie revolution songs. Sometimes you just have to take the bad with the good.

If I cared enough, I might alter my shopping habits to punish the French, but I don't care that much and besides, being French is punishment enough.
