Are we going to stop drinking French wine? The Japanese bombed us in 1942, maybe we shouldn't buy their products. We had a bloody war with England in the 1700's, maybe we shouldn't associate with them.   Most importantly maybe we should stop using Middle Eastern oil.   Where will it end?

From my travels, I can say that it seems to be a Love/Hate type of thing. Generally speaking, they seem to hate our government, but like us, that is, except the Parisians. In Paris, it seems that anti-American sentiment is the National Hobby, and the National Sport is who can generate the best anti-American rhetoric. Generally speaking of course.   My wife and I are going to a wedding in Paris this April, I suspect that IF there is any activity in Iraq by then, this trip should be very interesting. Then again, I have a wedding to go to in Nairobi in early May, and that is (if I am not mistaken) primarily a Muslim country, that visit could be even more interesting.   Best Regards, Shipo

Anyway, I began despising the French over two decades ago...

Paul has been posting on the G35 board for sure, but I'm not sure of the mentality of: If another country will do, is doing, or has done something, let's boycott them. That would eliminate every country on the earth and put us back into isolationalism.   Plus we are discussing the cars not politics.
#21871 of 30157 Bzzzzt, I'm sorry, that is incorrect... by shipo Feb 12, 2003 (9:11 am)
I stand corrected.   Kenya is primarily a Christian country, 70% of the population in fact, followed by 24% of the people who follow indigenous religions, leaving only about 6% of the population as Muslim.   Best Regards, Shipo

We Americans need to stop pretending that we have The Only Way. Despite the rantings of our President otherwise, the rest of the world is not "irrelevant" just because they don't agree with our foreign policy decisions...
#21873 of 30157 let's talk about cars by sopecreek Feb 12, 2003 (9:28 am)
All I see/hear/read these days, pretty much everywhere, are about war and other grim stuff. This is one of few places I divert to from all those. I am sure they are important topics that affect our lives and I do follow them closely, but let's keep this board off those topics. Maybe somebody should open a new discussion title outside.
#21874 of 30157 politics and so on! by djocks Feb 12, 2003 (10:55 am)
Have I mentioned that I love my 330i ???   The one and only time I have ever made a purchase on the considerations of international affairs is when my wife and I bought 2 oriental rugs for our living room. I decided to buy the less expensive machine made variety to save money but also because of a special I saw on child labor in third world countries and the making of rugs! I am so happy with my BMW and I apologized if I seem ignorant to the supposed affiliation to the sad affairs internationally and the beautiful road runner I have outside my work right now. I just do not make the connection.   To make a somber note, I do not want to make everyone jealous but I just found out that a friend of mine was able to schedule a tee-time at TPC sawgrass next Wednesday when we are on vacation in Florida!!   I know none of you needed to hear that but, new BMW, 1st kid on the way in late August, playing sawgrass...I am kind'of excited right now and I am trying not to get bummed out by everything else!
#21875 of 30157 Right! by pat HOST Feb 12, 2003 (10:57 am)
This is a car discussion board and indeed we need to leave the politics for a more appropriate venue - outside of the Town Hall.   Thanks.

As I was scanning you last post, I briefly got excited. You see, in addition to being a fan of BMWs, I am also a Mopar fan, especially the cars from the 1960s and early 1970s, so, when I saw your reference to "... the beautiful road runner I have outside my work right now...", I initially thought you meant big "R" as in "Road Runner", a Hemi if you please, not little "r".   Have a good time in Florida, and rest up, you are going to need it come this August.   Best Regards, Shipo
