molotoving us military bases and/or burning flags on television would be apropriate but unhelpful. what else is there? sign petitions? join amnesty? complain to my mp? what?

Put pressure on your government to be uncooperative with the US until (whatever particular problems you're looking to solve - human rights, war, ...) are addressed by the US government.

Write a letter to a republican voter telling them why they're wrong, that'll work a treat.

convince them to relax immigration policies for US nationals trying to escape.
if it's easy enough you might help to bleed america dry of its professional class.

or not, but I really just want someone to help save my ass.

hurt their feelings with subtle dry witticisms that they will only understand the next day. don't offer to pay for all of the meal if you take out an american lady. cultivate an air of quasi-homosexual decadence that will outrage any neo-con observers.

support a thriving atmosphere of free speech and cultural/racial tolerance. lobby for a united EU which, hand in hand with the surging chinese economy, will reduce the great satan to the humbled circumstances of other ex-colonial powers in no less than 8 or 9 generations time!

(last two points serious)

slightly blanch when they pick up forks or wipe their mouths in a certain way with napkins as if to intimate they are committing a monstrous faux pas that you are far too well bred to openly communicate to them: keep them wondering what they did wrong. let out a disguised snort of ridicule from behind your handkerchief whent they try to pronounce french words.

― debden, Tuesday, 16 November 2004 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

debden, im already doign all that. except for the free speech / tolerance thing.

― :| (....), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 15:24 (twenty-one years ago)

ps. you misspelled faux pás.

― :| (....), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 15:26 (twenty-one years ago)

ah... well there's nothing for it, i'm off to join the french foreign legion. maybe there i will become a noted arabist and lead the descendants of the ummayads to overall dominion in the gulf region. hell, maybe even spain too! what'll the yanks have to say about that, eh?

ps i think you'll find you misspelled 'doign' old boy

― debden, Tuesday, 16 November 2004 15:36 (twenty-one years ago)

i mock your imperialist language, fascist pawn. our. language. wahtever.

Boycott American goods. Tell everyone you know to boycott American goods. Write letters to newspapers suggesting people boycott American goods. Try to organize an international movement to boycott American goods.

As Joe Louis said, "Kill the body and the head will die."

faux pás
I can use accents!
yay!

can I come to europe yet?

You're always welcome in Europe, Wayne. Everyone is! It's the happiest place on earth...

I thought EuroDisney sucked?

― trigonalmayhem (trigonalmayhem), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 23:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Apparently so. But we won't make you live on a theme park ride, so don't worry.

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 23:14 (twenty-one years ago)

yay!

Ok, I can buy into that, then.

I want&need good public transit and walking cities!

― trigonalmayhem (trigonalmayhem), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 23:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh...our cities don't walk. Perhaps you're thinking of Japan, but I think Miyazaki totally made up Howl's Moving Castle.

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 23:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, stop taking the piss, we all know he mis-spelled 'wanking cities'!
