bakerstreet : Don't You see what the war has done to You already ? THE GERMANS AND THE FRENCH... I am german, so what ? And I am not boycotting anything.

Indeed Fuzzy. i heard talk that we ain't joining the euro but someone suggested switching to $$$ instead

c242: Since *huge* percentages of both countries are opposed to the war, I didn't think there was a need for sub-categories, but if you feel it is necessary I'll try and say something like "German's who both oppose the war and boycott US goods and services" or something like that...

If I had a dime the word 'American' or 'Yank' has been tossed at me around here...

it happens everywhere. thats life sadly

Well, I think that generally when one says "the Americans", "the French" or "the British", they don't mean the citizens, but their government.

I mean, when it's used in a context of war, or other economic/political disputes.

Hum... I'm just think ing of something.

If I'm against this war, and I should boycott everything that is American, do you think I should divorce? (my wife is American for those who don't kow me)

Yeah, I just read that even 'French mustard' is boycotted. Only problem is that the 'French' in there is not dedicated to France but to it's inventor, Robert T. French, who is pure american.

I heard that, but I thought it was a joke.

paxx I'd suggest not letting her read that joke

of course if she is like my wife in any manner she would have beat you in saying it before you got a chance to type it

btw: I found it very funny

Time for me to step back in again since this was my thread. I did not mean it to be a political discussion but to explain my reason for looking for something else> Everyone has the right to their own opinions and principles. To me it is the principle of the matter, just like raising a child with principles. There are sometimes when you have to sacrifice the easy way out because you are standing on a principle, which I am. Now to explain a little more. Icon workshop has a splashscreen you are taken to at the end of the 30-day trial which has a link for ordering. I really liked the program and as a good citizen was ready to purchase. It takes you to a web page that just comes short of demanding ( no other options are available)that a check, money order are accepted ONLY if in Euro's drawn on a FRENCH BANK. Crdit cards will only be charged in Euro's , it states. So for my reasons which I will not expound upon I decided not to buy it. I have 2 brothers which have lived overseas for the las 14 years, one in Deutschland ( Germany )& one in England, I have 2 Beautiful German nephews, A japanes nephew & niece so it is not because of Rasicm but A political principle. So for those that gave suggestions Thanks. I am going to try Iconshop. I may not be as happy with it from one viewpoint but happier from another. This was quite interesting though & I sure hope nobody goes away with any seriously hurt feelings> It's not that big-a-deal. It's just a big spirited diverse community. Diversity is good, so go enjoy whatever you want, and for those who slammed me ( there were a couple ) I'll ignore it!! I ain't got that kinda time.

It's not that big-a-deal.

Gregory I like your mind

hashonboat, Are you referring to the link that is right under the product you want to order, or the button all the way down at the bottom of the page? I didn't see anything on the _actual order page_ about euros.
