Assume nothing in this day and age. But let me ask - which would you
prefer - that it be made in Mexico - or in the USA by illegal Mexican

I personaly would prefer either of those options over it being made in
china.


What do we have against Chinese at this point ? They are the fastest

At this point in time, the chinese goverment holds over 40% of our debt.
At this point china has taken over more of our manufacturing jobs than all
of south america combined. Soon we will have to learn chinese just to do
business in this global market. China will be the next global super power
and we will be the ones to fund their abillity to become that. At least
mexico is a democracy (for what it's worth), but yet we ship millions of
dollars to a communist country everyday. Wasn't communism the enemy just
15 years ago? Don't we still punish cuba for being communist still to this
day? I just doesn't make sense to me to be anti-mexican and pro-chinese.

20 years ago a westerner would have been called a liberal pinko fag for
doing business the way we do with China. Now they have the money and the
power so you better cower down to their wants because the USA is toast
economically. They can now rule the world, which is something that 'W'
wants to do but is doing a very pathetic job of it. Wait till the
Chinese think the time is right. They will pull the rug off from under
our economy and you will have to be a Chinese slave or a western
'terrorist' freedom fighter.

It doesn't make sense to me to be anti-communist to begin with. Actually I
think it's our "capitalism" vs their "socialism". But since we have more

school systems and more people trying to make it on "networking" than
talent - I can't feel too superior to some other approach. Plus our society
is becoming more and more socialistic and less and less capitalist every
day - and BTW aren't the Chinese just being capitalistic in taking advantage

I never could understand why we are being pricks to Cuba.

Corprate America has abandon America and sold us to the highest bidder.
This is shown to use by the wal-marts and the big box monsters. There was

Don't make me laugh - "most efficient, hardest laboring" - LOL I can show

So your not a hard working and/or efficient worker? Or are you just
special? As my grandma would say, it's useless to argue with the facts.
Americans invented the 40 hour work week and many of us work more than
that. Americans invented the assembly line and the modern manufacturing
model which has been the engine of development for the whole world. We
make the best tools, the best cars, the highest grade steel...ect. The
american corps are striping the machines out of the factories and are
selling it off to the highest bidding third world nation.

Sorry that the big box store workers can answer your questions. It's not
in the best intrest of home depo to have an informed public, their in the
shit business. They sell you cheap shit and they don't give a shit about
you. Try shoping more locally for your products and be willing to pay more
for competent customer service.

Before you send off some post refuting my position, remember this:
If you don't like it here, if you don't like the workers here, feel free
to get on a plane and make a better life somewhere else. I'm sure china
will great you with open arms ;0)

OK - let me ask you this - if you know that you are working in the cheap
and there is absolutely no reason to work harder or smarter because your
job could either go to a Mexican or get outsourced, why would you take
the time to learn the information that you want to know? Isn't that the
responsibility of the employer to teach their employees this info so
that you can be a satisfied customer? About the only thing that
employers teach employees is to be good listeners and validate customer
concerns - because even if you can't get your problem solved, you might
feel better if you think that you are being listened to.

Make it worth my while to learn something about the products so I won't
lose my job to Mexico or China and I might do that. If you don't reward
performance, why should I try and do better? Today any employee who is
the first to show loyalty to their employer is a fool - it's the rare
employer today who won't sell your ass in a heartbeat to make a buck.

That is why I as a consumer take the time to find out which employers
take care of their employees, which make their products in the USA, and
I only buy from them. If I can't find it made in America, it has to be
something that I really need bad, otherwise I go without. I hate
sending my money over to China to build weapons to eventually use
against us.

2) Take the money out of politics and make it really one person + one vote.

SOrry - those things you mention are not rights - they are wants, except
for A/C in the South and health insurance. And even then many elderly

afford it. I don't know where you get the idead that because Nike
pushes $300 athletic shoes that every kid thinks they are a "right" -
why don't the parents who push "abstinence only" education tell their
kids not to have sex and that they can't have $300 sneakers?

Don't keep thinking that it was China alone who wanted that MFN treaty -
it was multinational businesses who realized that China was not only a
big market, but also a great place for doing business - slave labor
workplaces, no environmental or workplace health and safety laws. They
do short-term deals while the Chinese government steals their technology.

day? I just doesn't make sense to me to be anti-mexican and pro-chinese.


It doesn't make sense to me to be anti-communist to begin with. Actually I
think it's our "capitalism" vs their "socialism". But since we have more
murders than any other country and more lawsuits and more lawyers and weaker
school systems and more people trying to make it on "networking" than
talent - I can't feel too superior to some other approach. Plus our society
is becoming more and more socialistic and less and less capitalist every
day - and BTW aren't the Chinese just being capitalistic in taking advantage
of an open market ?

I never could understand why we are being pricks to Cuba.

What do we have against Chinese at this point ? They are the fastest
growing economic force - seems smarter to learn Chinese than Spanish at
this point.

Happy Year of the Rooster


At this point in time, the chinese goverment holds over 40% of our debt.
At this point china has taken over more of our manufacturing jobs than all
of south america combined. Soon we will have to learn chinese just to do
business in this global market. China will be the next global super power
and we will be the ones to fund their abillity to become that. At least
mexico is a democracy (for what it's worth), but yet we ship millions of
dollars to a communist country everyday. Wasn't communism the enemy just
15 years ago? Don't we still punish cuba for being communist still to this
day? I just doesn't make sense to me to be anti-mexican and pro-chinese.

Don't you mean being anti-cuban and pro-chinese (or pro-vietnamese)?

And so much for Mexico being pro-democracy - what about how Fox is
sending all his unemployment problems to the US to steal jobs from US
citizens or leagl immigrants so that the money can be sent back to
Mexico to bail out their economy? And what about the lawless zones - up
to 50 miles from the US border - where Americans get kidnapped and held
for ransom, and Mexican drug kingpins who are hiring Mexican Special
FOrces troops to protect them and their drug shipments?

I say **** em all - keep the jobs and the money over here, control
immigration, and license and don't sell out our technology.

Agreed. We don't need anything imported except oil, and we can go
take that if need be.

It is what it is.

Why not spend some money working up some conservation technology to make
all cars, trucks and other machinery much more fuel efficient? If we
implemented the suggestions of the Apollo Alliance, we would be energy
self-sufficient, and have technology that we can sell to other countries.
