Too much to translate, but just surfing will let you see what the gist is.

[Red6]

Well guys.

I just hope the US sees what is going on outside. I just hope that our complacency and ignorance of the world outside the US will allow this behavior to go.

I hope that our complacency and ignorance of the world outside the US will NOT allow this behavior to go without repercussions.

Strange, one little word changes the entire meaning:)

[Calpernia]

TRANSLATED:

Why this side?

The world struggled through itself in a for many decades, laborious development process within many ranges to more democracy, like the examples of the international Court of Justice, the Kyoto Umweltprotokolles and the behavior of the UN in the Iraq question zeigen.Im contrast to it develops the great power the USA remained only exactly opposite tendencies. In all these cases mentioned George shrubs America leaves more and more the consent of the civilization and purges into tendencies of the law of the jungle, right of the more powerful one, the Ignoranz under the guidance of your current president.

The great power does not shrink from itself to manipulate in their sense to be deceptive and contrary to international law a war of aggression without UN mandate against the Iraq to finally lead.

At the same time evenly this superpower is in an order of magnitude indebted, which does not make you any longer independently of the will of the majority of humans of this earth. The weakness of this politics lies in your economics, which is dependent to a considerable degree on the connection of the capital to the dollar and American products.

Here our strategy sets. (even if many go through, can cause the particular something)

We decided to boycott US-American products and by European to replaced. A goal is the spreading of this idea to take with hope, thereby a foot on the American economy and so a new to introduce more democratic development of America.
What will we do?

[Beelzebubba]

Let 'em boycott. We will pull out the troops, and see how much their socialist state depends on exports to (and imports from ) our economy.

And their sneaker-and-black-sock-wearing tourists can stay home, for all I care.

They can also take up the slack with funding the UN.

[anobjectivist]

Gotta love the link to the World Socialist website on their page.

[TC Rider]

Wonder if they'll quit using their GPS systems?

[Right Wing Professor]

I had a look on their forum. The feedback is hilariously nasty, and it seems to be mostly from Germans. The top 5 thread titles

Germans buy German bananas

Can you really be serious?

Boycott=Feeble-minded

Boycott for idiots!

Don't buy from Jews

In short, I wouldn't get all upset about this site. The Germans seem to be handling it themselves, quite effectively.

[Kenno]

Not a word of thanks or even mention of our liberating them from the Nazis.

[saluki_in_ohio]

Let them boycott.

They will going to find out that boycotts tend to backfire.

[Calpernia]

Well, then let's unliberate them. If SH is really still alive, let's give him Germany ^-^

[saluki_in_ohio]

Let them boycott.

They will going to find out that boycotts tend to backfire.

Oops, let me rephtase that.

They will find out that boycotts tend to backfire.

Our sovereignty is a key factor in our enjoyment of freedom.

[Free_at_last_-2001]

The extreme left is very very afraid - this only demonstrated the greatness of the US President George W Bush.

[wayoverontheright]

Mercedes, BMW, we're gonna miss you.

[Gopher Broke]

Recently GAVE AWAY my BMW.......no more GERMAN or FRENCH products for me!!

[Happy2BMe]

The Wold Socialist Web Site is one of their links.

Schroeder and Chirac played a heavy game with Turkey - blackmailed them on any support to the U.S. or they would hold out U.N. member votes.

Interesting thread they weave . .

How history will tell the story:

A. The U.N. sent inspectors into Iraq to find weapons of mass destruction - the same WMD Saddamn said he did not have. Forming new alliances, France, Germany, and Belgium, continually sought prolonged inspection times in their attempts to restrain the U.S. and Britian from attacking Saddam. The U.N. Council repeatedly ruled in thir favor.

B. Saddamn, while insisting (and convincing France, Germany, and Belgium) he had no WMD, at the same time threatened the U.S. and Britian to destroy them (WITH THE SAME WMD HE CLAIMED NOT TO HAVE) if they attacked Iraq.

C. The United States and Britian agreed that Saddamn had not complied with U.N. resolution 1441, had WMD, then attacked and removed Saddamn from power to prevent him (or other terrorists) from using them.

D. After the U.S. and Britian attacked Iraq, vast stores of WMD, chemical, biological, and yes - even some nuclear - were uncovered by the prevailing U.S. and British forces.

E. Saddamn and his two sons were tried before a U.N. tribunal and unaimously found to be enemies of minkind perptetuating mass murders on their own people of magnitudes and ferociouceness not seen since Adolph Hitler's actions created the word "genocide." They were summarily hung for their crimes against humanity. Regrettably the knots where incorrectly tied and the distance of the drop was not sufficient to break their necks. They swung and kicked for almost thirty minutes before strangling to their infamous historical deaths.

F. The Democrats in the United States had their worst election returns in the 2004 elections in that party's history.

G. George W. Bush was elected president for a second term in 2004 by the largest landslide in U.S. history.

H. Ditto for Tony Blair.

I. Hillary Clinton was defeated for his (grin) bid for reelection in New York State.

J. Thanks to the "footdragging" tactics of France and Germany througout the entire world crisis, the United Nations was made to be a laughing stock of historical proportions and was deemed irrelevent and impotent and consequently vaporized into nothingness as did it's predecessor - The League of Nations.

Don't forget VW!

Vunder Vat Da VW Krowd Iz Gunna Du?

[fightinJAG]

Thanks for this hilarious feedback on the feedback.

[New Horizon]

I'm gonna miss Beck's beer.

Well, there's always Guinness.

[Nachum]

There are some fine Dutch beers too. Ever try Bavaria, or Orangaboom?

[Bonaparte]

I couldn't care less what France and Germany say or do. Those two back-stabbers are on my permanent Scheiss list.

[hermgem]

30% of total German Exports go to USA. What about turning the tide and stop buying VW, BMW, Mercedes and Porsche.
We hold the lever, our exports to Germany are only a fraction of what they send to us.
Besides when buying locally produced goods we improve our trade balance and create Amrerican jobs.
It's a win win situation.

[Welsh Rabbit]

And their sneaker-and-black-sock-wearing tourists can stay home, for all I care.

Ditto. And if I never see middle-age, overweight Hans prancing around on the beach in a Speedo again, it will be too soon.

[babaloo999]

Bavaria beer, $8.99 for twelve-pack at HEB. It's my poison of choice.
Germans produce nice, expensive autos and some good electronic equipment, but there is absolutely no reason to buy German for me. Not with all the alternatives that exist.
I have a hard enough time trying to find "American" products.
And this German boycott -- YAWN.

[Reo]

"Not a word of thanks or even mention of our liberating them from the Nazis."

Huh?? They are the Nazis.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Heehee, what a bunch of idiots. Hope they know how to read "made in China", after that American sounding brandname. Oh wait, this could be fun ;-D

[newgeezer]

Ze VW krowd brings to mind my euro-wannabe, extreme leftist brother- and sister-in-law. They both drive late model VWs. Needless to say, they'll not be deturd [sic] by any VRWC boycott. ;-)

[Roughneck]

Calpernia, Calpernia, you give me heart-burnia (or it could just be the cheese).

Wanna boycott us? GOOD. No sqwalling tee-tee babies here. We want nothing to do with the french - thanks for complying!

[Beck_isright]

Bump to that poster....

[Roughneck]

I already have been boycotting German products.

My niece dated a (US Citizen) that was raised in Germany by his German mother - UGH!!!!

After meeting this lazy, lying, socialist and seeing how he used America and her people, I realized that I dont like Germans very much.

Consumers Launch Boycott for Peace

PORTLAND, OR - February 17, 2003 - Peace advocates announce a consumer boycott for peace. As United States consumers, we will not support our own economy in order to send the message that we oppose our country's campaign for war.

This ongoing action, in which consumers refuse to spend money on US goods and services, is scheduled to take place every Wednesday.

Because the United States government refuses to acknowledge the wishes of its citizens as well as the pleas from the global populace, US citizens will send a stronger message. By using our consumer dollar, we are demanding a peaceful resolution to the conflict with Iraq. We hope to create a self-inflicted recession in order to demonstrate our frustration about this situation.

Once we have successfully deterred war, we will ardently resume our economic support of the nation. We will treat ourselves to a night on the town, shopping sprees, and personal indulgences [so what else is new?] to celebrate our accomplishment and thank our President for making the right decision.

We have the power, if not by our voices, then by our wallets, to stop this compulsive rush toward war. lefty website link

-----------------------
There you have it, the anti-war crowd in Portland and everywhere has been boycotting U.S. goods every Wednesday, and no one noticed!

[Calpernia]

What the hell are you talking about?

[mountaineer]

Never let it be said the anti-war crowd doesn't have really, really constructive ideas:

War, nobody is getting better from it, in the end everybody is a loser. To send a strong signal into the world, a signal where nobody can look away from, I suggest that we give eachother a hand as a symbol for peace. If everybody in Europ (or in the world) try’s to build on many circles of peace on the exact same time then it has to make this an impression. Everywhere people are protesting against the war, against this, and against that. Always against: negative. If we try to reverse this and we say we are for peace en we want to show that people all over the world can work together on one ideal. We could make big circles starting from every marketplace where people are reaching hands to eachother.

We also can make big cicles with various white things like paper, sheets, flowers, ...White looks to me the best colour, as a symbol of peace. When: sunday the 20st of april from 12.00 h untill 13.00h The circles have to be big enough to see them from the air. The peacevirus would pread in a short time over Europ or maybe the whole world.

The concept only succeeds if there are enough circles and if there are no troubles with people what so ever: no jelling people, but only people who can talk quietly with eachother and work together. Will this change the world? probebly not but it can give a hopeful signal that there is a posssebility that people can work together positively. To whome can make music, i would ask to do so with songs of peace or with the “Ode an die freude” from the nineth symphonie of Beethoven. I also ask to ring all the bells from 11.55 H untill 12.00 h., it will be the start of the realisation of our peace of art. People from all over the world, spread this news and help building to a positif worldfeeling. thanks I attach a logo as a symbol of this happening, it can be used freely. link

[gcruse]

I just hope that our complacency and ignorance of the world outside the US will allow this behavior to go.

You mean them advocating doing what we advocate doing to them?  

                          The horror.  Those bastuhds.  </saracasm>

[Western Phil]

Volksies have come from Mexico since they shut down the factory in Westmorland, Pa. in the mid 80s. The round headlight Rabbits are the last ones from Germany. Audis may still come from there, but don't know for sure.

[VeniVidiVici]

I own two late model VWs too. And was going to buy another this spring. But I ain't now.

I draw the line at getting rid of my Rabbit. At least it was made in the States. :-)

[New Horizon]

Not yet, but I will.

I have recently been introduced to Chimay, brewed by Belgium Monks...good stuff. But $$$.

[Happy2BMe]

"The round headlight Rabbits are the last ones from Germany."

I've been driving VWs for over twenty years.

My son has owned every air-cooled VDubber you can think of.

I have a Cabriolet in the back yard now waiting restoration.

We like the Dubs.

We like America better.

[Red6]

I missed the word "NOT" in my original sentence and that kind of changed the meaning! OOps

I meant to NOT let this go unnoticed. NOT let them be weasels and stab us in the back while Americans go buy their stuff and support their economy. All this while they boycott our economy because we actually are doing something unlike them. They will sit around and watch as thousands get butchered in Bosnia, philosophizing about how bad war is. Where is their involvement in Sinai? They have a big mouth for someone who is not willing to pay the price nor has any involvement. They will talk big about Israel and Middle East peace. OK, what are they willing to do? Do you see a German brigade in the Sinai? No.

[Roughneck]

OOPS!

Sorry Calpernia (Seems I gave you heartburnia!) I have seen the error of my ways..will be more careful in future. Thanks for the links.
