Buying a A1200 from Vesalia

[MarkAshley]

Maybe there is a conspiracy. Maybe Vesalia is actually a wing of Microsoft designed to discredit and dissillusion the Amiga community. Maybe they're all around us!

Thanks for cheering me up guys!
This thread has developed into a hoot. Do you know what a 'storm in a teacup' is?



P.S. "My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Vesalia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."

So how would they recognize you being an American if you even speak local German dialect? ;-)
Ok, there is a difference to the US here in supermarkets: The vendor does not usually ask "How are you doing?" if you come in. Maybe you're not used to that.

Oh thank you so much for Wal-Mart! Thanks for Coca-Cola and McDonalds! And all these great things like the clerks singing "the company song" or "National anthem" in the morning. Thanks for bringing these things to Germany! Now there is hope for Germany. We are not lost!

Err, the US occupied Germany from 1945-1949. Just in case you missed something in history class. :lol:

Ok, to sum up your statement: Because the US troops left Germany, Vesalia is in deep trouble and have to care better  keeping customers from the US. :lol:

Do you take drugs?

No conspiracy. Just a national bias I have witnessed in my past three years with German vendors. Even if you speak Deutsch properly in the lokaler Dialekt many will snub you. No matter how much you are willing to purchase. Wal-Mart stores in Germany has displaced much of this bias and has actually taught Germans what customer service can be. Thus there is hope. The German economy was much better before the TUEuro.

I think you have a screw loose. :madashell:
You sound like typical arrogant American who thinks the world was invented in the U S A. HaHaHa  :-?

[TjLaZer]

You know I didn't even think about that one, maybe it is all political the way Vesalia treated me. Since I am an American and they hate Bush, they handled this in a bad way?  Hmmmm......

Personal attacks will get you nowhere. Unless you can discuss the issues substantively then I suggest you show a fine comrade of language and keep silent.

Heeey... you stole that from Ronald Reagan's radio speech in 1984... but "innovative" none the less :destroy:

This thread has gone off track and is now more about personal insults and politics than about the Amiga.  It's being locked.  If you'd like to seperate your conversations and be more respectful of one another in different threads, go right ahead, but be nice...
