even though i don't drink, a "made in france" tag isn't going to stop me from buying something.

because of the whole war situation I'm less likely to buy a product with "made in USA" on it.

no, I could give a fvck where something is made. If it's good, and the price is good I'll buy it.

No, and if someone told me that he refused to buy something that he wanted, because it was made in France, I'd think he was an idiot.

It'd be one thing if you thought it was being made by slave laborers against their will at gunpoint, but just because thier gov't was right about something ours was wrong about (there being WMD in Iraq), no I wouldn't refuse to buy from them because they made my government look like a bunch of idiots.

Your poll's question differs from the question in the thread's title. It's misleading.

Also: your poll is retarded. I voted "no" because the topic says "would you refrain from buying", even though the title of the poll says the opposite.

Let me guess, you were one of those kids that always got questions wrong in school because you didnt read through the directions and just started marking down answers.

And you are calling ME retarded? lmao

I like French products. Where I live, there's a lot of stuff sold made in France, and very little to no made in USA (except computer stuff like CPUs and others since it's not produced in Europe). So there's no clothes, no drinks etc made in USA sold. So to answer your question - yes I'd buy stuff made in France if the price is right (it's not always is, though). French stuff is lots less expensive than Italian made, that's a huge plus IMO.
