My favorite quote is this one:

"_In the southeastern French city of Bayonne, the staff of a bar run by anti-militarists dumped their Coca-Cola stocks into the sewers"

They are as stupid as we are by dumping French wine on the streets.

YOU ALREADY PAID FOR THE GOODS YOU DOLTS!!!!

I read something last week that French\'s Mustard has actually declined in sales.  Very sad since it\'s an american company created by a dude with the last name of French.

Just goes to show how ignorant most of the worlds population is as a whole. You said it yourself, those goods had already been paid for.

As for the US and French\'s mustard sales going down. Thats indicative of typical US citizens to act upon what they believe to be true b4 any actual research.

Stupid..

Just because people have different views, their whole country is shamed upon.

I personally think all of you anti-french people should shut the hell up, and just look around. You apparently respect these fellow members ideas, whats the difference between a country? Its pathetic.

The United States needs to think about it, and realise, if we need help again later, we have probably lost our chance of a few good allies.

We deserve to be boycotted the way some of our people are acting up against the French.  Let\'s not be ignorant as a country (again) or anything.  :rolleyes:

It would be funny if that shipment was made in Indonesia. They can boycott us all they want, we hardly make any great products except tools and cars, and maybe some food and drinks. Bah, what do I know. Coca-Cola is an American company but a bit of their stuff isnt\' made by Americans at all. They have bottling plants all over the world....well in atleast one other country :)

EDIT: Ok, I read the article. Is Coca-Cola the only American thing over there?

"He threatened to take things a step further if the war did not end soon."

We don\'t care.

"“If the Americans won’t calm down, I’ll start refusing to accept American Express and other U.S. credit cards,” said Mabileau, adding he didn’t think the move would hurt business."

He\'s just a moron. He\'s gonna hurt the business and not us.

"“The Coca-Cola drunk in Germany is manufactured in Germany with German employees and they only hurt themselves,” said Fred Irwin, head of the Frankfurt-based American Chamber of Commerce"

He\'s right. And I find that really funny.
