What products do Germany and France make that are use daily?

[PhiKapMom]

Boycott German, French, Russian, and Belgium products bump!

[DCBryan1]

You're right! From this moment on I am boycotting white surrender flags, unfired rifles only dropped once, and French Fries!

JOIN THE BOYCOTT!

[nicmarlo]

I always wanted a mercedes...but I guess I'll boycott that now! : ) Seriously, good idea and I will boycott French, German, Belgian products.....not that I really bought anything else but American-made.....but will definitely not purchase those things.

[shhrubbery!]

I'm cheap and about 95% of stuff I buy is from China. Wish I could boycott China too, but then the family would have to go nude I guess.

[cmsgop]

Does this mean I have to trade in my VW ?

Judging by recent election results, the people of Germany don't like their government much more than pro-American conservatives do. I'm not sure a botcott against them is necessary.

I have been a rabib francophobe almost from birth (therein lays a story). But - there is a point beyond which no reasonable person should go. No one, and I mean no one, is going to take away my extra large order of fries covered with lots and lots of that bright yellow mustard.

[Revolting cat!]

No mo french onion soup with a side dish of bratwurst for this cat!

[uncbob]

That include Daimler Chrysler and all the cars SUVS and Trucks

[MHT]

Dang--no Hermes scarf for Valentine's or delicious burgundy with dinner?

[Revolting cat!]

Seriesly, it's a great idea! As soon as I'm outta here, I'll load up the Porsche with all the French and German goods in the house and drive straight to the stores where I purchased them to return counter! Or, if there isn't enough room, I'll take the Peugeot

[sit-rep]

What do you intend to do about Chrysler??

[inkling]

I began sending this letter to German companies this morning:

Dear Sirs,

Due to the anti-American stance of the German government, I have decided not to purchase any products from German companies. I realize that you don't make the decisions for Schröeder, et al., but avoiding German businesses is the only way I can register my disapproval. This is unfortunate since I enjoy so many German products and since both my wife and I are of German ancestry.

Hopefully, the German government will stop attacking the United States, end its tacit support of Saddam Hussein, and respect the vast majority of EU nations which support a free, democratic Iraq. Until then, our family will boycott all German products.

Respectfully,

I've only received one reply, a polite one from Beck's Beer. I also sent this letter to Volkswagen (I was considering purchasing a Passat in the next few months) and Siemens. Any other German companies out there?

The only French companies I can think of are Michelin and BIC.

[P.O.E.]

Michelin
Alcatel
Peugeot
Renault
Hermes
Louis Vuitton
Christian Dior
Nina Ricci
Cacherel
Club Med
Air France


I don't think I've ever patronized any of these. Hey, it looks like I've been boycotting France all along!

[leilani]

I (& everybody I know) have BEEN boycotting french products for quite a while (in fact, I cancelled a spring trip there to & moved it to Spain) but even I was surprised checking out in K-Mart yesterday - the T-Fal frying pan I was buying was,according to its label, oops, made in France. Had to put it back. But, ummm, it felt sooo very good doing so.I think my french grandmother would have been tres, tres PROUD!

[TankerKC]

No more German potato salad or French fries for me.

It's an Atkins thing anyway.....

[Wu]

BIC Lighters are the only thing that the French have ever made that was worth two hoots.....

[ko_kyi]

Hmm, I want one of those new HK GPM 2000 things before I start the boycott
