You can take your love for AIRBUS and stick it where the sun doen't shine! OK? I don't ride on ANYTHING the French build! ANYTHING!!!

[shaggy eel]

,,, gee, an assumption that I have a love for AIRBUS. No, you're incorrect with that too. I've flown on them and they rattle and shudder more than BOEINGs. All I was asking for was something to back up your statement. Give me all the abuse you want - I've been insulted by experts and I'm still standing. Now, once you've settled down, realise that I wouldn't ask you to fly on an AIRBUS, a BOEING, a SHORT, a Fokker or anything else. I would welcome your opinion though, either way, as long as it's based on fact.

[KOZ.]

Fokker??!??!?!?!! i dont even know her. i'm offended.

[shaggy eel]

LOL!!

Thanks for the picture. I don't know what I expected - but that doesn't look like much of a 'jewel' to me.

Maybe the designer is in cahoots with the guy who designed the clinton library (double-wide).

[shaggy eel]

,,, Orly, the secondary international airport in Paris is the former jewel. It has an array of outdoor escalators enclosed in their own outdoor cocoon perspex covers - quite something to look at, even these days.

Did they surrender yet?

Freepers are a mature lot. How do I know this? Almost thirty posts, and no Michael Moore jokes...

I heard J F'n Kerry was gonna ask them to rebuild the terminal in Baghdad. But I guess that will have to wait.

[Dick Vomer]

Well now that you mention a collapse of a major structure in France.... and we know who is in France...

The french build better cars than us. I'd much rather drive a Renault Clio Sport than anything coming out of Detroit.

Good for you! I won't touch ANYTHING made in France.

More fool you

Too bad (for George III) General Washington did not boycott French ships, weapons and other products...

The Statue of Liberty was made in France...

The Statue of Liberty was made in France

And she is still standung! AMAZING considering who built her. Look, it is your right to love the French if you wish but this is one American who will NEVER forget what France did to help us with Iraq. NOTHING! I won't buy or patronize ANYTHING French!

So, should we crate `er up and ship `er back?

Or, do we keep her so you can spit on her in your hatred for all things French?
