Boycott the US (Spam if you like)

Instead of complaining about the US and their policies, why don't your countries just boycott the US?

Does your government deal with the US?

Boycott Hollywood films. Boycott Microsoft. Boycott McDonalds. You'll have more free time, a faster running computer, and lower cholesterol.

Sometimes I feel like I'm boycotting the US because it seems like everything I buy was made in China, Canada or Mexico.

Don't forget the Simpsons.

Not much, but they are still dealing with the US. Force your government to halt all exports to the US.

It takes some time, but you can find stuff made in the USA (You will pay more for it though)

Yes I'm proud to say I was made in the USA, (Even though my father was stationed in Germany and my mother tells me if his orders to go to Nam hadn't arrived when they did, I would have been made in Germany. So count yourself luck Germany)

Hollywood - well, it happens very rarely though, that they produce a movie worth seeing, I can't remember when I happened last, though...

MacDonalds - check, the food is horrible

Microsoft - Oh, I have tried very hard...but it's impossible for me nowadays since I have to use special software for my work, that is not available for other OS

Simpsons: check

Seems now I'm under Boycott. So fine have, it your way. I need not have your thread to post in, I can make my own and talk to myself, it will not be the first time and I will bet it will not be the last time either.

I thought of this in the other Boycott thread, but this is not fitting there.

This is to flame Dubya (Who I have nothing against- he doesn't even know where I am

)- I read when he was sworn in- that he got the title 'Evil of two lessers'- still makes me laugh.

I have chosen not to boycott the US, including Weasel.

Unless Weasel is a psedonym for Bill Gates, in which case I will send Georgi to turn you into a fluffy rabbit. Which I'm going to serve with baked potato.

Not a great moment in US history.

If I was Bill Gates

I would do the right thing and turn myself over to Georgi and be someone's dinner.

Thanks for not boycotting me.

Foul and his dirty deeds will be his undoing.

Considering Weasel started this thread, I'd say it's fairly safe not to boycott him. I'm with ya, buddy!

@CE-When Georgi finds Bill Gates and you serve him up save me a piece, would you?

Hollywood: Check
McDonalds: Check
Microsoft: Waiting for those baked potatoes
Simpsons: I'll never be able to do it.

I have hearby decided to boycott the US.

In order to redress the balance of History, however, given all the evil deeds the US has performed, I suggest we clone Hitler's brain and re-instate a pan-European Nazi super-state. This coupled with the inevitable power struggle with the Soviet Union means we would have to kill a goodly portion of the worlds citizens in gruesome and horific ways. May I suggest death-camps, head-in-toilet flushing and toenail extraction (hot pokers wouldn't go amiss too)?

Also, I will be throwing the majority of my material goods out the window since they are made in the US, or are based on US technology. I just looked at my underpants - they're gonna have to go to.

Well, you asked for it.
