I'm sick of China and all the crappy goods that we import from them all the way from deadly dogfood Rover just ate to your shit particle board laminate computer desk and of course the lead paint kiddie toys your toddler is chewing on.
The game is simple. Just right from where you are sitting try and pick up 10 different items made within the past 5 years and see if you can get all 10 without one being made in China.
I already lost when I first turned over my HP computer mouse and the old "made in China" label was on the bottom of it. Its a real eye opener!

Amen LD! I just watched a good documentary tonight about "corporate corruption". Not just here in U.S. But rest of world. Mainly U.S. though. Micheal Moore has a small part in it. It's called "The Corporation" or "Corporations" is the movied title. It's good! Blockbuster should have it. Have a good one! : )

It sad that there seems to be almost "0" manufactured goods 100% Made in the USA or your other respective countries. And don't even waste your time going through your closet in your bedroom. You may not always find a "Made in China" label, but I'm sure some 8 year old in a South American sweat shop put together your blue jeans for ya!
Hmmm my shoes K-Swiss sneaks... Made in China!
If you really want to start another rant call your tech service number for your computer. I guarantee you the guy calling himself "George" on the line with the thick Indian accent isn't talking to you from an office in downtown London, England. Aside from outsourcing that here in the states they do the same with even your X-rays. Your X-rays are shot at the office and then electronically sent to be examined overseas to a medical center in India where then they reply with their findings to your doctor! Fucking amazing.
Another game will be how many hours of your life have you wasted on the phone to tech support trying to get past the language barrier and multiple disconnections.

Chocolate munchers in South Korea were horrified to discover worms and moths crawling out of their favourite confectionery. Customers made the gruesome discovery when unwrapping the Chinese-manufactured chocolates, which imitate a popular international chocolate brand.
Mouth-watering chocolatesThe worms and moths were found crawling out of tiny holes in the chocolate when the consumers opened the foil wrappers.
The bugs had even managed to eat several chocolate balls.
Professor Ahn Young-chul, of Eulji University, said: "It seems to be seriously contaminated during the manufacturing process since the larvae of Plodia Interpun were found."
One consumer, who bought the chocolate during a trip to China, said the manufacturers had insisted he go back to China with the chocolate if he wanted compensation.
Lee Nam-hee, researcher for consumer rights, said: "There can be a sort of argument with the consumers about whether these worms appeared during the manufacturing process."
The fear is that the Chinese-made chocolates will add to concerns over goods manufactured in China.
Toothpaste, sweets, tyres and medicine exported from China in recent months have been found to be faulty.
However, several consumers have also found worms in a local Korean-made brand of chocolate.

On the upside, virtually all my leather bondage equipment is tooled here in the good ol' U.S. of A. This will be of little help to American soldiers when China withdraws its industrial support out from under us in the years to come - unless we expect to restrain a billion prisoners.
I'll keep this from going into the politics section by simply concluding that the Amish (a lot of them are around here) are truly industrious and productive but can they hammer together a stealth porch-swing which can drop bombs?

It occurred to me today, as I was taking more of my doctor-prescribed medications, that they are all manufactured here in America. They are the best and safest medicines in the world. There is some truth in that old chestnut "you get what you pay for."
Just had to come back to mention that.

It wounded me to buy a Japanese car (Honda, made in America, though). I have never wavered though, I drink American! You can't call it Bourbon unless it is made in Kentucky.
