... And most of us in Europe, including the ten new nations from Eastern Europe signing up today, have also had enough of French arrogance and ignorance" and their attempts to impose their opinions on other member states, tarnishing us with their dreadful reputation.
... We don't agree with France and we'll show our disgust by also boycotting French goods.
... If you guys in France want to reciprocate you're going to find it hard to be noticed, since you've been actively boycotting UK goods for decades !
... An ally that can't be relied on for support, is an ally that we can all do without.
... Over and over again the French have proved they cannot be trusted.
... They are selfish and are only interested in profitable ventures.
... The French were happy to allow Saddam to continue in power for as long as possible, because they were profiting from lucrative oil deals though Elf.
... They cared not that Iraqis were being raped, tortured and killed on a daily basis, just so long as they made more profit.
... I'm so disgusted with the continued unapologetic immoral attitude from France, and the "don't care" pro French correspondence in this newsgroup, that I shall now be removing all French made products from my company's approved list of suppliers when I return to the office after Easter.

You *just* want to make us cry...
Keep trying.

I'm sure a majority of US travelers will be treating france as the
freeway to the rest of Europe, or bypassing the ingrates all together.

France is a nation of blood suckers, completely devoid of morals.

Tourism from the US to the UK is down by more than tourism from the US to
France. It seems that the majority of US travellers do have brains and know
how *not* to mix tourism and politics, and know which is a great country to
visit.

Most Americans book their trips several months in advance. Don't
expect that trend to continue long.

Most Americans understand the power of economics, especially when
applied to a socialist state like france. We understand what it means
to you silly frogs to have your government playing the economic
equalizer in your society, and how difficult it will be for them to
maintain that false security after the government corporate gets the
shafting it deserves. Tourism has always relied on emotion and
desires of the senses, but france has been emanating a moral and
political stench that will severely hamper your ability to attract
American dollars for years to come.

How does that explain that tourism from the US to the UK is down by more
than tourism from the US to France?

You heard incorrectly.

You heard incorrectly. The word is derived from the name of a tribe that
once lived their, the Parisii. They lived on the central islands in the
river and subsisted mainly by fishing.

Perhaps they perceive trips to the U.K. as being somewhat more risky, which
probably has a (very weak) basis in fact.

Yes, but that really didn't affect anything, anywhere. France doesn't have
a great deal of influence in the world.

I think this is wonderful country, though, that gives everyone their
voice of dissention. I am all for people expressing their views
publicly because it makes it much easier for us to identify the truly
foolish, and to know who cannot be counted on in times of crisis.
These are the weak and cowardly who, when the enemy is crashing
through the front door, will cower in the back room, counting on
better men than themselves to make and keep them free. Well, the enemy
is at our front door, and isn't it interesting those who cry loudest
and most often for their rights, are usually those least willing to
defend it.

What will happen is that all over Arab land and many other
places in the world French products will be used over American
products wherever possible

If some starts French Cola it will be an instant hit.

The American dollar has had more strength against the franc than the
pound. Americans who have little morals, like the french, will most
likely continue to go after the cheap "european" vacation in france,
but these people seldom spend the type of money the serious tourists
do. Although, they will be able to buy a lot more french junk as your
economy evaporates.

If the US people are boycotting French products
then whose loss is it anyway?
If Americans donnot want to enjoy French products
let the rest of the world enjoy Them.
Anyway they are no so useless and costly like
American Pizzas, Cola, Cellphones(Which cause
damage to the brain cells) American News Channels.
Is Americans boycott Fench products it is loss to the Americans
If others boycott useless American products then it gain to them
and a loss again to Americans.
