A couple of google searches is all it took. USA embessy in France give me time, I have to go through me freaking history now

Americans spend several Billion in France yearly. Americans have traditionally been the largest group of foreigners to visit France each year, and therefor the largest single chunk of that 8.5% of GDP. When a drop off well over 25% started to occur (billions lost), what happened? The French hired Woody Allen to start promoting Tourism to France ("Fall in Love Again" was the catch phrase) and offered steep discounts. So I guess the French just really really love us or their just tourism whores because I somehow I doubt the reaction would be the same if the French stopped coming here. So, what were you saying again?

I swallowed a bug

I think that's stretching it a bit. :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Utterly Dependent? Monaco. measurable chunks of their GDP coming from outside tourism? Well: That's alllllllllllot of money coming in. About 8.5% of the GDP of France. The percentage, while I'm having trouble finding it, is not even close in the U.S.

o...you meant of Oblivion, pfff. Been there, seen that, no nostalgia to carry the day.

really? It's a trick, isn't it? I'm confused, but I do know your the white devil, so I'm also worried.

I wasn't fear mongering. I meant, if you don't want Americans around, well, your getting options. Enjoy. I've had three friends spend time in London in the last year or two, not a single negative word to be heard. Minus, you know, the lack of ice in drinks.

what you mean where they brought back Jason todd (robin #2)? the one who got blown up by joker? Invincible is by image... that explains why I don't know about it. the description sounds somewhat like Supreme power... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1. Yep, of course he's still technically "back". The storylines not done. 2. That Invincible guy looks almost exactly like the costume for Marvels Gravity hero guy.

Or, you know, nuked.

No, I meant their going to have money and start being more touristy, right? They might even become the new king of the hill. So you guys can except their money while cursing them out!

Yeah, if only some of your economies didn't depend on tourism dollars from the States. If only...... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> then what...? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The Chinese are getting more powerful

Americans are not frowned upon here in Europe. It's the foreign policy of the current US government that most people don't like. Thats a fine line sometimes. Last year one of my best freinds was in Spain (working to a degree in Spanish) and approached a street vendor that was sellign some form of food. She was asked if she was American. She said yes. She was refused service and told "Happy Sept. 11th". If it we're me, I would have responded "and a nice March 11th to you", but apparently she's a better person than me.

don't know if that's true, but americans are a bit frowned upon here in europe.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ::Looks at R.E.G.'s avatar:: AH DUHHHHHHHHHHHH

^ correct, I just wasn't willing to type so much

Anyone reading this redhood/batman stuff? Quite good.

A "civil war" is up and coming in the marvel universe. Apparently it will be Capt. America V. Iron Man. The lastest Spidey had Iron Man basically recruiting Spidey. The black guy is War Machine.

kinda. It's just good.

Yeah, but if you were cool, hot, or talented, America would just assimilate you.

I should resurrect the other serenity thread

I don't see how your link helps tho
