in the end its as stupid as me saying im not breathing anymore cause the air passed through other countries. dont matter who makes it. if it works and you like then whats the problem

I so agree!!

Baker your contradicting yourself there, you complain that no one helped right away but just agreed that someone does actually help at some point

no im stressing that it can be relayed over as stupid not what he said was stupid. you take it as you readit.

thats a relief Gadget...was expecting a worse reply

Neither of you really *mean* anything. You'd have to 'think' or 'care' to mean anything. You are just yammering on like someone is pulling a string.

because we have 'realistic' views on things unlike yourself, we rate a product on integrity and its use, not its maker or country of make. you have your view and thats fine but just remember we have ours too and not always do they see eye to eye.

bakerstreet- I have looked back at my 1st post and find nothing I said to be wrong or uninformative.
If you choose to make nasty remarks that are totally uncalled for, then maybe it is you that has a problem with this thread...

i second that Gadget

/me has just had a thought; *bakerstreet thinks that the whole world should think like him*

I don't think so...

What a scary world it would be, just have to accept people have different views

Can anyone recommend another program with the same or better capabilities ??
This was the indivuals question. They did not ask for your opinion about his relations with the French.

I think that the *Axialis Icon Workshop* is one of the best programs that there is right now (just a personal opinion)

Axialis is the best, the guys the guys that make it have families to feed, and bills to pay. They are human, and they share a different point of view from you. It is not fair of you to denounce this program because the programers are french. Why don't you just refuse to buy a piece of software that made a black person, or a mexican, it's just as bad. A person can't help that he or she is french, and there is nothing wrong with being french. Everybody on our side thinks France is so bad for not supporting the war, and everyone on their side thinks the US is so bad for supporting the war. But both sides want the same thing, peace. We just believe in different ways to achive it.

So Buy Axialis and be happy with it, you won't regret it I like it myself...

and just for the record I DO support this war, but i don't believe anyone is wrong for not supporting it.

very well said. totally agree

I could not have said it any better!

Oh, calm down, people...

Here's two FACTS for you, just to put 'things' into perspective.

The French secret service instigated an ACT OF WAR on foreign 'soil' by blowing up the Rainbow Warrior and thereby killing a photographer, in a New Zealand port.
Utterly indefensible action which should have resulted in criminal action for capital crime. The act of simply attacking a ship is classified as Piracy which still carries a Death Penalty.
Their agents got bugger-all, a few weeks 'vacation' on a tropical Isle...yeah, right.

Fact two.
LiteSTEP was created by a Frenchman [LoneRunnr], but that doesn't stop me from using it and/or enjoying it.

So what if a Program is French? Funds from its purchase are not going into financing Nuclear armament.
Heaven forbid....exactly WHO has all [most] of the Nuclear capability, forever leaving the world with the REAL realization that 'Man' has the capability to wipe life of any sort totally from the face of this planet several times over?
Won't stop me buying US Proggies, either.




Except for the Cockroaches...

May I intervene? Everyone here is partially right...except the part where you are arguing about it!

Axialis Icon workshop is kick butt....so are a lot of French wines
Bakerstreet is boycotting the French for their conduct on the world stage that directly affected the US and is exercising what he believes is the right thing to do as an American. Nothing wrong with that and I cheer him on! There are a lot of people doing the same thing and it makes sense from that standpoint to mention that fact. This is not a racist or ethnic issue, it's a patriotic one.

Quite simply put, "IMHO", Axialis Icon workshop is the best...but it is a French product, so ya have to make up your own mind whether you want to use it or not if that even makes a difference to you. If someone thinks there is a better Icon maker, then recommend it, and let the individual make up their own mind which one they like best.

whats wrong with Icon workshop. I think it does Mac icons too right??


Oh and by the way, this was, without a doubt the funniest thread I have ever seen.

I never seen something get so out of hand in 10 posts at the begining of a thread.


Of course all of this could have been ovoided if the tone of the thread at the beginning

quote
Axialis Icon workshop is French.
end quote

then by saying you do not want to support the French because a company is based there seems kinda... well... off. Like calling French Fires; Freedom Fries.

Now if you wanted to ovoid all French products that would seem more wholistic, but pointing out one company that acctually does good work while ignoring others seems... off.


Maybe, for me, it was the way this whole thread was approached.


I found out that Axialis is a French company and I decided not to use it in protest. Does anyone know of a program that is as good with the same features?


WAAAAY less angst.


bakerstreet, you crack me up!!! and make sense at the same time. not sure how you do that.

*sigh*

i'll say it one, last, time. The point in this post was a guy wanting to find an alternative to a program. Could have been any reason, it just happened to be one that rubbed some people the wrong way.

Sure, i'm tempted to go into why I stopped buying french products about 6 months ago, but I refuse to be baited into hijacking this guy's thread and turning it into a discussion about France. That is what I was trying to stop people from doing to begin with. Geez, let the guy buy or not buy what he wants.

I think it 'rubbed' people the wrong way because of how he stated it.

As I stated before, in his initial post it really sounded like he was downing the company for being French as oppossed to not wanting to use the program becuase he was boycouting ALL French products.

bakerstreet-I refuse to be baited into hijacking this guy's thread and turning it into a discussion about France. That is what I was trying to stop people from doing to begin with.
/me thinks that bakerstreet decided to take it in a totally new direction, all on his own.

France is all over this board... look at the title.

France this... French that... and a political statement to boot.

Hard not to make it about France

"Axialis Icon Workshop is French"

anyway... of to skin something...
