The question I have is: Does France have anything of significance really worth boycotting?

Boycotting is for lefties. I buy what is legal and of acceptable freemarket value.

Yea, I remember boycotts for some Golf club event because they did not allow women members, etc. One of many recent examples.

You are not absolved of personal moral responsibility just because something is available on the free market. Child pornography, art stolen by the Nazis, and rhino tusks are all available on the market. Moral indifference is not a libertarian virtue.

I was thinking last week, I wish the French made something that was worth buying so we could boycott it.

What's the deal with French red wine? FOX reported this morning that Hastert was threatening to label bottles with the warning that it's been clarified with cow's blood?

That would probably be a really bad move.

I can see all the accusations from Europe and elsewhere along the lines of the Americans "obviously having forgotten what the statue represents." What's it called again?

Accusations from Europe and elsewhere mean nothing. Absolutely nothing. They chose this path.

Being that it was a gift from France, it is called an eyesore.

I typed this, you moron---Boycotting is for lefties. I buy what is legal and of acceptable freemarket value.

Since when did child porn rhino tusks and stolen art become legal to buy?

Thanks for exhibiting left wing irrationality to prove my point...boycotting is for lefties.

LOL - I was trying to come up with a list of French companies to boycott, and found out I don't buy any of their crap as it is!

Being very serious here - aside from fries, toast, bread, and wine, what other French products are there?
