that legislation would never fly here. it's like someone passing a law requiring that GM parts work in all cars imported to the US.

calling the french stupid is not racist, nor is calling them gay. racist implies they are a race. It is discriminatory but they deserve it

There is no such thing as racist.... If you wanted to use a word that would be more accurate, use ethnist. Humans are all of the same race.

. i think he has a point. "the human race". i didnt think about that. haha.

**brien4787** · 03-23-2006, 03:43 PM

in order for humans to have different races, we need to have biological differences... we dont.

**///MDreain** · 03-23-2006, 05:16 PM

I think it would be a good rule (for the non-apple users), but Apple made the software...so they can let whoever the hell they feel like use it.

oh yeah, france is gay lol

The US Government has publically declared their support for Apple, against the French, citing they "compliment [Apple] because we need for companies to also stand up for their intellectual property rights".

From the article, "We assume this will continue to escalate, and it'll only be a matter of days before French students start burning iPods in the streets and Americans retaliate by torching Archos Gminis. And it looks like the cafeteria in Cupertino will have to start serving iToast for breakfast."

GG France.
