Postal service? What? We got that? :-) -----Original Message----- From: kirk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: March 31, 2003 12:57 AM To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [biofuel] EU: Boycott of American Goods Over Iraq War Gains Momentum
Don Lancaster (computer guru and other nom de plume) www.tinaja.com on page 2 of his http://www.tinaja.com/glib/myebays.pdf EBay secrets says no foreign bidders, not just Canadian. Why? Because it is a hassle. BTW -- The Canadian postal service can be downright moronic.

Lately it has been my misfortune to be Canadian. Don't get me wrong, Canada is great. But lately, things like eBay's boycott on allowing Canadian bids seems a little childish. If there really is a terrorism/WMD threat to the US, great. Go eliminate the threat. Canada has always been ready to help the US defend it's rights and I (and a great many other Canadians) back this philosophy. Naturally, there are those here that feel different and I can't speak for them. However, I personally feel that as an offensive move, the US makes it's own choice. They definitely have the strength and power to accomplish their task. Hell, we can't even keep helicopters in the sky or keep our subs from leaking!!! Let's not pick on the '90lb weakling' neighbour. Make no mistake. Should, for whatever reason, the tables turned and things turn to a defensive mode Canada will be in there like white over rice. I have many friends in the US and they don't boycott me. We do have a couple of asses in office that make stupid remarks and you can better your higher-valued dollar that they don't get elected again. The little guys (voters) can only bitch-slap those kinds of politicians by using the almight vote. Just my rantings..... -----Original Message----- From: Jerry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: March 30, 2003 9:28 AM To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [biofuel] EU: Boycott of American Goods Over Iraq War Gains Momentum Roger That!!

It is a reaction on the unjust war and maybe the pictures of Americans emptying fine French wine in the gutter, a waste that is criminal. If anyone want to get rid of good French wine, please send it to me. But I think that the parents to those who did it, are angry now and are stocking up again. I talked to young people in Spain, Germany and Sweden and they want to boycott what they see as American interests. Not always smart, but a healthy reaction on something that they see as unjust war. They do not trust the altruistic songs from Bush & Co. It is expected that the PP party in Spain will loose a lot of votes on this. Although Bush get a lot of support for the war in the polls, a majority says that they would not vote for him again. So he stand a far chance of joining his father in being one of the very few presidents who lost a reelection. The support for Blair show a similar tendency. Boycotts are sometimes efficient, but I agree that it very seldom hurts the ones that they are aimed for. Look at the US led UN boycott against Iraq and the hundreds of thousands of children who died because of it. Personally I think that McDonalds is a part of the US chemical warfare and since I do not eat their stuff, I cannot boycott them. Maybe we will get some healthier youngsters as a result of the war and that is positive. I stopped to drink Coca Cola, but that was for health reasons also. I have a similar thing with French Fries (Freedom Fries, LOL), stopped eating that too, because if you do a chemical analysis, they are very easy mistaken for paper products. Jerry, we are both retired and have to think about our health. Hakan At 04:06 AM 3/29/2003 -0500, you wrote: >What is wrong with you people??
