Speaking of the French

[ParrotHead]

For all of you that may find it offensive that we commonly refer to the French as “IDIOTS”, then maybe just maybe you’ll start seeing our reasoning.

It seems that the good French President Jacques Chirac has come up with an idea to fight the war on AIDS. He is suggesting that the entire world be taxed to finance the fight against AIDS. That's right, he wants taxing authority on the rest of the world. Isn't that just fine?

Chirac proposed this “world tax” at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week. Chirac says billions on top of the already billions donated would be raised if he could tax all international financial transactions, fuel of air and sea travel and a tax on all airline ticket sales.

Our taxes aren't high enough already. Now we should have our wealth seized to pay for health care for people who engage in irresponsible sexual activities!

[fisherguy]

What a dumba....i'll edit that myself. lol I cannot believe he would even propose that!(well the more i think about it i can) I have a better idea, how about he raises taxes in his own country, donates that to AIDS projects, and leaves the rest of the world alone.

[wtnhunt]

That is pretty stupid and he does represent the country, kind of wonder what the french people think of his idea?

[OJR]

That is a typical proposal that would come out of his mouth and the country of France!!

It is proposals like this that leaves no doubt in my mind that the UN needs to be shoved into the river and forgotten about!

Since when should we even listen to such rubbish that a foreign leader proposes taxes on us??

Tax France, Gemany and Russia! They can afford to pay it with all the money they have made on Iraqi oil!!!

[buckee]

LOL..Well, I wouldn't go as far as to say all of the French are idiots, but I think I can safely say that French President Jacques Chirac is http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[ParrotHead]

Buckee - we forgive the French Canadians - they can't be lumped into the same group as these idiots - it obvious that you've tried to escape - you're half way around the world from them!

Oh and for you American's - I'll bet you're glad Bush won so he could give them the finger. John Kerry would have been all over this idea - that you can count on.

[TreeStandBowHunter]

I know you guys heard me say this so many times but what the heck, I will say it again. After we kicked Iraq's but we should of dropped a bomb on the CNN Headquarters and France! Both of them are worthless maggots http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The only way we are gonna stop aids is to take all HIV positive and quarentein them

[oldksnarc]

Another way is to outlaw sodomy.

[Strut10]

Evidently chirac (intentional) just got impatient waiting for the UN to get the "one world tax" going.

Unless the U.S. wisens up and drops the U.N like a bad habit, you will live to see the day where you're paying taxes to a world governing body. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Yep, and then people of other countries would say look at those idiotic Americans based on what Kerry was saying even though most of us would disagree with his view http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif.

No doubt Chirac is an idiot, he has proven that over and over.

Yeah, you know maybe those in other countries feel the same way about us. Who cares. Just because an elected leader from any given country makes a rear out of himself with comments does not mean that everyone in that country agrees with him/her. Prime example, look at Hillary and the state of New York. Does she really represent the state all that well?

Kind of ignorant in a sense really to even make those type assumptions. But like you say who really cares.

Lets just outlaw all forms of intorcourse all together... that and bleeding lol.

The HIV virus is a terrible thing. I donate money to the victims and to charitys that help Aids victims. But somewhere along the line we must take into account the Marginal Costs and Benifits to these peole lives. ITs a hard thing to do but a value on a life yes.. kinda sick to. But if Aids spreads like it has been, and if no cure is found. I think the world needs to save itself from destruction. I think somewhere down the line we will do what we did with Lepors and put them in a Quarentine where they can live out the reset of their life without somehow infecting the healthy population. The costs of this will be human lives losts, the benefit will be a healthy poopulaion with out the Virus. Sounds kinda sick like the hitlers final soulution yes...but I think if it keeps getting bad like it is the world will have no choice. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Strut_Buster]

And i pray that my vision of the future does not come true. I hope god will help us find an answer.

Dont see that ever happening, at least not in my lifetime.

Sure does sound bad. The thought of innocent children born into disease being cast out seems very harsh and cruel.

Dont realistically see a worldwide taxing authority in my lifetime either.

[Shaun_300]

wow, that sure is an odd request http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif we already have 15% tax here in Ontario, i sure would not want to be taxed any more for other people's mistakes http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

[stevebeilgard]

what? a liberal communist wants another tax? tell me it's not so.... !

Yes it does sound horrible - and anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that raising taxes isn't going to change one **** thing.

Just curious, if there was a world wide tax authority who would be paying the majority of the taxes?Suppose all countries would be taxed equally?Would all the little third world countries be asked to kick in as much as everyone else or would it be a bunch of countries that really hated us getting together to take more US money?

Pretty safe to assume where they would expect the money to come from.

[stevebeilgard]

you got it, horst. what the frog is actually saying is "america, give more". remember, america is 6% of the world population, and now gives 82% of the money to the worlds various charities.

don't bother to thank us, jacques. we know how insincere you are...
