MICHELIN TAKES A SWIPE AT RULES

Last Updated: Monday, 06, March, 2006, 13:35

Michelin has launched a thinly veiled attack on the FIA

[AutoRacer5 0]

Every time I see a Michelin tire on a car, I just want to get out and slash it so badly...

[jackgarrett 0]

you must still be hurt buy that gp

[F1 FANatic 1]

why are people still so upset, i am a MS fan but i didnt like the fact that he won only because of that, there is a saying for when such things happen: Sh#t Happens. its over, done with and in the past.

let it reast, if it happened to Brigestone none would have cared. Oh no, Button lost a chance at not winning again i guess

[AutoRacer5 0]

I never want to forget the outrage of the 2005 USGP.

[Jean Todt 4]

yeah yeah! that means japanese should still keep shouting anti us slogans for their atom bomb attacks on 1948?

look at what is happening now dude! you can see that fia still favours ferrari and bridgestones! and am not affraid to make the point...the us gp problem could have been avoided with a proper dialouge. as a kimi fan i could also argue that kimi lost a golden chance to win the gp or the golden chance to display the spactacular engine blows. but past is past...we fans will still get to c the Sh#t support the fia offers ferrari and bridgestone.....and many people are aware of it......

Good one. And they had a military government and thousands of my family's money wasnt wasted. More people would have died if we had invaded the Japanese homeland.

Japan was close to surrendering BEFORE the USA dropped two atom bombs on Japan. There was no need to kill that many people. Killing the Japanese army is one thing but attacking the general population of a country is never morally justifiable in my opinion.

I agree ykickamoocow completely!

[Jem of the Shire 0]

Thats USA for you - always been arrogant warmongers and they wonder why the world hates them (as a country)

[Jenson_Rules 0]

indeed. Its a shame as there are some genuinely nice americans, such as pump and AR5 (though he can be a little irritating at times), but really its their government and the way they carry things out!

I also think (back on topic) that whats done is done with indygate, time to move on.

[Jem of the Shire 0]

americans are nice but it annoys me that they actually seem to believe their troops are fighting for USA's freedom - they're beyond stupid!

and I wonder if Americans realise how stupid they look hanging their flag outside their house, on schools, libraries, pretty much everywhere.

If someone in UK hangs the flag outside their house, people would just assume they're a racist!

Oh and land of the free - I dont think so - I'd much rather live in proper free land like Britain where people arent stabbed and shot by psycopaths every day like in the US.

USA are currently proving that their 'freedom of speech' is a myth, because George Clooney is being labelled a traitor for his latest film that implies Bush only went to war for the oil benefits

Totally agree with you there. Pretty much sums them up

From what I can remember British troops followed America into Iraq on account of England's "brilliant" prime minister Tony Blain. So you can degrade America all you like (they deserve it) but don't forget to be fair and remember that England was involved with the hunt for weapons of mass destruction.

They never did find any did they...

[dribbler 6]

Sorry to get back to the subject matter; Michelin have every right to swipe at the rules, their mistake at Indy shouldn't mean that they are condemned to silence.

we all know the main reason for the war, OIL. The British government diguts me and I have been very vocal about this. We need the conservatives in power, not ****ing labour!

The funny thing is that in new Zealand Labour is in charge, but it is seen as the more conservative of the political parties

Ok, this will be a long post.

Japan was close to surrendering BEFORE the USA dropped two atom bombs on Japan. There was no need to kill that many people. Killing the Japanese army is one thing but attacking the general population of a country is never morally justifiable in my opinion.

The Japanese practiced Bushido. They thought that the greatest honor was to die in war. Why do you think so many committed suicide rather than surrendering? Hiroshima was a military target, yes its sad that civilians died, but the main target was military.

Thats USA for you - always been arrogant warmongers and they wonder why the world hates them (as a country)

In our recent history, we havent gone to war against a country for land. Yes, the old Mexican war deal comes up and the Indians, but we didnt take any land in WW2, and it was us spending billions to help rebuild Europe. Ever heare of the Marshall plan? You are all about appeasement, 18 U.N. Resolutions and Saddam broke all of them.

americans are nice but it annoys me that they actually seem to believe their troops are fighting for USA's freedom - they're beyond stupid!

Tell that to the women who can wear nail polish on their hands without them being cut off. Tell that to the women who no longer have to wear burqas. Tell that to the women who can go to school. Tell that to the tens of millions who were freed from the Taliban and from Saddam. We foiled a terrorist attack against the tallest building on the west coast, hear of that? http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,184324,00.html

So, flying our flag is stupid? How do we look stupid? Are you talking about the UK flag?

People are shot and stabbed everywhere. Guns are everywhere you go, and its not as easy as most think it is to get one. Freedom of speech a myth? Where are you seeing that Clooney is being labelled as a traitor? name one site on the internet that has that. Britain has socialized medicine, which in itself is bad. Look at the taxes, its very cheap to live over here compared to over there. Oh, wasn't it you who had banned Catholics from attaining office? Yeah, I thought so.

So you can degrade America all you like (they deserve it) but don't forget to be fair and remember that England was involved with the hunt for weapons of mass destruction.

Okay I am usually a pretty calm person but this just makes me mad...

You think this is proof? This is from a pro-war pro American site which merely has an iraqi official making some comments. This is not proof. Where is the evidence to back up his claims?? Saying that they are now in Syria is hardly proof; in fact it makes the claims less believable. Where are the WMD's? In another country. Not really the conclusive evidence you need.

To quote the article

"It was alledgely bad intellegence from multiple human sources from many countries that told us that Saddam had WMD - which to this point has proven to be false.

More questions with no clear answers. If this man is correct, than many people owe the Bush administration more than a simple apologee which some would never give. If he is lying, though, he must be exposed for being exactly that."

How is this proof that WMD were found? This is just a man telling his own story. it is not fact. it just isnt. So don't try clear your throat and pretend it is.

If we went in for oil, wouldn't we have gotten it all out already?

There were many sites with articles about it, this was the only one with a transcript. You want more sites? I'll give you them later if you wish.

Again, this is not proof. No WMD were found. That is why the USA went to war with Iraq, or what the US GOvernment has stated. So they fought a war and no weapons of WMD were found. What right did the US have to go into Iraq then?

And dont try and pretend that Saddam was a cruel dictator and he broke human rights laws and things like that. For heavens sake China has the worst Human rights record in the world but I don't see the US going and trying to convert them to democracy... because there is no oil and China is going to be the strongest power in the next century or so.

America is extracting Iraq oil as we speak. I have no doubt that America is perfectly willing to invade anyone if they need the resources.
