Answer 1

wake up America they are killing our boys NOW with weapons we gave them when Daddy Bush sent us there the first time...We even taught them how to fight a war.....duh

Answer 2

Trying to impoverish China will impoverish Americans. China hasa comparative advantage in cheap labour - US labour is expensive. It makes more sense for the US to specialise in nonmanufactured products and for China to specialise in manufactured products: America can sell software cheaper to the world than it can make goods; with China, it's the other way around.

As for selling nuclear know-how to Middle East countries, the same applies: where there's demand there's supply. For instance, as a major heroin and cocaine-consuming country, America attracts both the items by pushing up their prices. Sice the products are illegal, the suppliers get a "risk premium" - meaning unsavoury characters push the products.

Ask yourself why there's such demand for nuclear know-how in the Midlle East: don't blame the supplier.

Besides, world war 3, by defintion, won't hit only the US - a world war is for the world.

Don't worry - we're all going to die in the event.

And it might even be a good thing - better a world destroyed than an unjust world perpetuated.

The Romans put it very well: fiat justitia, pereat mundus (let justice be done even if the world perish).

Hear, hear!

Answer 3

The thing is, many times you may have bought something from China and you don't even know it. By putting a label saying "Made in the USA," it does not mean that the whole thing is made in the USA; it only means that final assemble process is done in the USA. Let's say a camera. There are different parts to a camera. All these parts may be done in different nations in the world. But just because the final process to put every part together is done in the US, people can put "Made in US" on this camera.

However, the reverse is also true though. Since you use cars as an example, please also allow me to use car as my example too. I know Toyota is making their cars and parts in the US for their US markets. I don't know about the other non-US owned companies though. So, just because the logo is Toyota, it does not necessarily mean that a car is made in Japan either.

So, with all these said, what I am trying to say is, we are living in a world that we all depend on each other. It is easy for one to say not to buy goods from a certain country. But in the process of doing so, we may end up hurting ourselves without even knowing it.

Answer 4

Yea, your right. We should stop buying from China, I'm sure someone is going to say it would hurt us somehow, however, we certainly import more from China than export. I even saw a news report saying because of the big difference in imports versus exports with China, we have alot of empty containers stacking up, blocking the sun in some neighborhoods in California. Don't figure....By the way, the guy above must be from China....

Answer 5

Because Chinese goods are better, thank God.
Nether China nor did Iran bomb a Christian European country in order to help Islamic fundamentalists. Nether China nor did Iran invade another country in the Persian Gulf for no reason.

Answer 6

When the USA finally does get hit, China will be bummed... who will by their crap? (I honestly think it's the former USSR that does the bulk of illegal arms trading... but I can't really boycot them because they don't export sh*t... just mediocre vodka and fish eggs.)

By the way, what does a Japanese SUV have to do with China?

Answer 7

I try to buy things made in America if possible.

Of course, just because it's made in America doesn't mean the HQ for that company isn't in another country. Something to think about.

Answer 8

I agree. Some day they will be killing our soldiers with the very steel we sent them in the form of scrap.
