For the gazillionth-and-first time, let this be known to all Americans, Airbus is a joint European company. It is NOT French. Some Airbuses are assembled there, and some parts are built there, but not all.

You also hurt the British Poodle by not buying them (in 1:1, that is), by the way.

Thank you. You may continue your Freedom Fries now.

As for the A300B4 I wish we could have both schemes that Continental flew in after getting them from Eastern. Also Air Inter's triple blue and Air France first scheme would be nice.

And, what if someone would release the Eastern A300 in a "Air Shuttle Plus" livery?

AmFlyer would never dream of buying that frog crap.

Of course, if the salesclerk left the plane and AmFlyer unattended for a moment...

we get confused, see new planes have a special smell, just like new cars do. This smell make us believe that the aforementioned plane "must be a French one"

Gutter something!!!

President Chirac of France, according to him, rules Europe (and in his dreams the world). Therefore according to Chirac, the Airbus is a French plane.

Also according to Chirac, French s**t don't stink.

I am with you! Let's hope that this will catch GJ's attention.

Both are not true. However, as one of the major European political and economical powers, he does wish for his nation to have some say when it comes to Europe. According to Chirac, and please read his quotes instead of making them up, Airbus is a major European success story with a large portion of it contributed by France - which is true.

I don´t know if French **** stinks. I don´t think its worth the effort to spend that kind of time trying to find out. The public lavoratories are very clean, though.

Airbus is a burden for every taxpayer in Europe, and Chirac should only be broadcasted on television while the Muppet Show tune is playing.

French sh*t does stink, and have you ever seen a public toilet along the French highways? It's just a hole in the ground in which you have to drop your floater...
If you are used to more civilized ways of pinching a loaf, than be carefull not to spill your loaf into your own underwear.
Discovery Channel could make a lot of documentaries about the toilets in France.

This is true, but to Chirac the hole in the ground shows how sensitive the French people are to the environment and natural resources. It is the arrogant American’s that waste large quantities of water on toilets that flush and a daily shower. This is why Chirac thinks us Americans are such pigs.

No, but Dubya´s France-bashing apparently goes unchallenged with you. Ever been to France? No? I have. My gf is from France, and I visit the place on a regular basis.

If all them US France-bahers would not only talk the talk, but also walk the walk, then the Statue of Liberty would be underway to Toulon.

And if the USA didn’t sacrifices the lives of thousands of brave American soldiers in WW1 and WW2 to save their French asses from the Germans there would be no French culture or language, they would all be speaking German. I’m sure the French are wonderful people, but their Government is a bunch of arrogant, cowardly, ungrateful SOB’s. The French Government represents the French People.

“I’m French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly King. You don’t frighten us, English pig-dog. Go and boil your bottom, son of a silly person. I blow my nose on you so-called Arthur King you and your silly English….niggets. I don’t want to talk to you, no more, you empty-headed animal, food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.”

More political dumping and Bush bashing Hapag? You just can't resist can you.

George Bush NEVER bashed France. That would be his legions of dumb and blind followers who can't think for themselves (like me) who do that. It's another lie perpuated by people who have nothing better to do than lie.

Why yes I have been and I loved it; more than once I might add and in the Riviera as well as central France. I am planning to return as well. I loved Paris and thought it was much more interesting than London.

But all that still doesn't change the fact that Chirac is a numbnut and the French people in general are arrogant assholes.

Carry on!

Wasn't Chiracs no to Enduring Freedom based on the pending contracts for oil drilling over there? Wasn't this part of the EU-Iraqi delegation talks, which failed over and over and over and over again???

I've been to France a lot of times, my girlfriend received food-poisiness over that nice France, and all of those A-holes refused to speak English. I asked for a doctor and got stuck with a fireman.

I hate France and the arrogant bast*rd in it as well!

Speak German - they tend to like their eastern neighbors a lot better than the Brits and Yanks.

Of course he wanted his countries´ share of the cake - look at who does all the oil drilling there today!

I am only currently learning to speak French (for obvious reasons ), yet NEVER EVER have I been treated bad by any Frenchman or - woman, au contraire. The moment I mumbled something like "je suis allemand" when I needed assistance of some sort, they tried to find somebody who spoke German to help me. From my experience, the French are not a$$holes. At least not if you´re German.
