100k is not very much for this case at all. That probably is going to be totally eaten up in legal fees when suing a company the size of Google.

I'd find some way to crush the French company--or country if I was feeling a bit bitter bout the whole thing.

100k is like a penny infront of google, they probably dont care, it would be funny if google blocks out there site completly, thats what I would do.

:eek: the whole country !!?? what's wrong with it?

I'm on googles side in this argument. It's common practice to advertise near competitors, rival gyms in my town have billboards in front of each other, in magazines reviewing a product, a rival product will advertise in the advertising space next to the ad...

Because they are French. Enough reason for me ;)

[James]

haiioooooooo!

Well said.

James :D :D :D :D

Damn french is hard to learn after lears of learning I can only read a bit of french, and write crap.

[James]

I took 4 years of it in school. I can't remember a darn thing. Except "Guten Tag".
.....oh wait... never mind, I remember absolutely nothing.

[Generalissimo]

Don't be nasty to the French, all the propoganda you see on FOX about them isn't true.

[James]

Eh? FOX? Don't know what you're talking about.

[Torito]

well, I'm French :mad: so what the **$&@!! ..... joking :D

james is from Canada, where moaning about the French is a rite of passage.

If it wasn't for the French-English love/hate feud, Canada would just be one very large boring midwest state. love your quebecquois brothers and sisters man!

besides, where else in the world (then France) can you get pain au chocolat that melts in your mouth like a little piece of heaven on earth? if it wasn't for all those annoying French people who live there - France would be one of the most beautiful places on this earth...

Hahaha so true...
Can't say that I'll be any happier about having to learn French manditorily or having French on EVERYTHING, or having millions of dollars going to Quebec whereas hospitals are being shut down here in BC.
I think I'd be happiest if BC just split apart from the rest of Canada and let it die--though Alberta could keep it going, I doubt they'd stick around for long after BC's seperation. They'd probably come party with us..
