The best way to hurt the French is thru tourism. DON'T VISIT FRANCE! From what I've heard from France, they are not treating American tourists very nice. And....... don't visit Belgium. They are the number one supporter of Al-Qaeda in Europe. Two days before the Sept 11th attacks against America, two terrorists, with Belgium passports murdered General Massoud in Afghanistan. They wanted to strength Al-Qaeda's position in Afghanistan before they attacked America. There is a relatively new movement in Belgium, to get rid of the corrupt, terrorist supporting Belgium government. The government is striking back, trying to outlaw the new political party, Vlaams Blok. So, Vlaams Blok has started The Flemish Republic, a movement to secede from Belgium. Here is their website. Interesting reading for those that are interesting in what is really going on in Belgium. flemishrepublic.org

Why don't you boycott Chinese goods.? Because China is nothing but a source of cheap labor to me. It is not an ally and is no real friend of the US. ....bet you can't. I'm not interested, as long as its junk is hypercheap. Have you stopped going to French restaurants, Yup, especially if they are in France. I am gonna do every friggin' thing I can do never to return to France again. We've all seen it enough any dang way. I am done with the French. I have a few very good friends who own a wonderful French restaurant here in the city. These guys are American, make French cuisine like the best and most often use American products, or those from other non-french nations. If I just gotta have French, I'll go there. But the fact is I'm pretty friggin' sick of french food. That style gets old. I'm pretty much into Asian stuff these days - all succulent, savory and crunchy. I just recently had a dish with little crabs in it. The crabs were marinated in some kinda mess. You crunch the little crabs, shell and all. Sounds gross, but man it was awesome. I'm tawkin' some serious awe. The French don't be doing dat kinda stuff. Dey crap is all squishy. I'm sick of dat mess. ...eating French bread and French toast? Dang straight, maaan. We make our own. Fresh every dang day - from scratch. And that includes grinding the berries and making the dough. I do encourage you to boycott wines so the price drops and I can get some bargains.... Well, you know, I ain gon like take the dang thang too far. I got a lot of excellent French wine that I have had for years. Got me some of dat Shampagni water too. I'm gon drink it all and think well of myself since I got it before I was aware that the French done gone COMPLETELY outta dey friggin' minds. I don't really need to buy anymore French wine and haven't bought it recently I don't think. Domestic wines are jess fine. So I don't be needin' the dang French at all.
