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. We openned the door to them about 8 or 10 years ago (forget the name of the treaty) so it's not their fault. Soon we will have to learn chinese just to do business in this global market. Like we have insisted that the other countries learn English to survive in the past. Now it's somebody elses turn - sounds fair to me. 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. 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 ? Don't forget that even poor people in the United States demand and get the basic rights of cell phones, cable TV with HBO, game boys, CD players for their rap and hip-hop, Cadillacs, air conditioning, computers, health insurance, and $300 tennis shoes. No one wants to work when the government provides it all to you anyway. This country is going down the drain and it is all our own fault. China is laughing as they clean our clock and watch us self-destruct. Greedy and lazy American pigs is pretty much right on. Sounds like someone has selfimage issues 'round here 80) ..... Don't get me wrong, America has dropped the ball, but IMHO, it's just plain silly to blame the american people as a whole. Poor people want what the middle class have and corporate america say's we all need. The American worker is one of the most efficent, hardest laboring workers on the planet. We work longer hours with less vaction time than any other industrialized country in the world. I was told that you can tell how good a country is by how they treat their elderly and their children. America abandons their old and under educates their young. This is the root of our social ills imho. 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 a time in this country were that wasn't true at all, but now were exporting our greatest minds abroad along with our innovation.... But I digress. We will have to agree to disagree. -- Yard Works Gardening Co. http://www.ywgc.com |
