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.

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...

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

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)

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

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.

Gregory I like your mind

Although Axialis' home base is indeed in france their on line shop and ware housing is in the USA.

Funny inded. Kinda like how the iraq thread has got lately.

hard to ignore, like a fly on your nose

C242 I agree with you, I am American and I am not boycotting anything either... France and America are great allies, and that's something the Citezens of both countries need to remember, we arent at war with france, nor will we ever be... we have different views, but our economies play off of each others, we buy from them, they buy from us. Iraq is America's enemy, not france, don't buy products from Iraq, buy products from France. France isn't on Iraq's side, they just want a different solution than what we believe it came to. And In my opinion this war had to come, that doesn't mean not buying my software because I want this war. And if I didn't want this war to come you should buy it too. As for Axialis, how do you know that the programers are against the war, not everyone in France is.

and Old Crab, Sept 11, 2001 showed us that there was a terrorist under every rock. The terrorists we knew were there waiting to strike, we sat back for over 10 years watching them accumulate, and we did nothing to prevent what happened, and as an American, I'll be Damned if I have to see that happen again. Saddam Huesein needs to be removed from power, and I believe that this is the only way. France does oppose this, but they never gave another sollution.
