TheJackal Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 How stupid is this?  Changing the name from French Fries and French Toast to Freedom Fries and Freedom Toast because France is opposing the American mouvement for war against Iraq?  I mean... ITS FOOD!  There's also talk of boycotting french wines and cheese. What's wrong with the American congress? .... oh wait. its mostly republican  jk. I dont like the republicans and the Canadian Alliance political parties because of differance of opinions. But that is mostly it. What do you guys think? You for the boycott? If so, why? I'd like to hear your version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 It's stupid. France is the smart nation for not wanting war. Sure it might be to do with their oil, but it's THEIR OIL! If america goes in and blows the hell out of iraq, the diplomatic oil agreement will be void and France will lose their oil. The oil will be up for grabs, and the US will want it, just because it was THEIR forces that went in and 'liberated' the iraqis. Â There's a France bashing thread going on in the senate forum, but I think I'll close it soon. Too much France bashing by unintelligent uneducated blind bush supporters.

Darth Groovy Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 It's only a matter of time before our lord and master, GeeDubya promotes himself to emperor and declares himself the antichrist. Â Did I forget to mention the amendment to extend his next four years(shudders) to a lifetime term in office? Â are french fries really from France? Â I thought they were from the UK. Could be China though. Speghetti was discovered in China... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obi Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Now don't forget, French kissing is now known as freedom kissing, and Mr. French is now called Mr. Freedom. Also, the French Hen will now be known as the freedom hen, and the french horn, yep, you guessed it, the freedom horn. Â Â ok, everyone got it? good.

BigTeddyPaul Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 The stupid part is singling out France. They are an easy target. What about China and the rest of them? Why don't we change their names too? Â It is some stupid politician wasting our tax paying dollars to rename bread. No wonder America is in the shape it is.

acdcfanbill Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 I highly doubt that this will do anything, and its more of just a way for politicians in the us to tell politicians in france that they dont like what they are doing. you cant just legislate to change americas language. do they really think thousands of restruants will change their menus for this? of course not. just as all but about 5 people in the us will go on calling them french fries and french toast.

BCanr2d2 Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 The French are not against a war, they are just currently of the belief that the current evidence doesn't support the American stance of the pre-emptive attack. Many of the international intelligence agencies don't believe the way the US have interpreted many pieces of information totally realistically. The US are itching for a real war, to let out the pent up agression from Sept 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
