You're right. I checked my mouse, "made in China". Our steel comes from Japan and India, Tech support from India, clothes and shoes form Taiwan, etc. We've been corporately sold out!! Although we do make a lot of our own cheap furniture domestically, I used to be a long haul trucker and I can't tell you how much particle board I've taken to High Point, N.C.

Sorry for resurfacing this thread but I hope that the Olympic medals aren't made in china
Especially after the commotion of the C.G added fireworks and the lip-synching singer at the Opening Ceremony....

Har! Ain't that the truth. And don't forget the addition of those little gymnasts that look to be say 9 to 11 years old...
I read an interesting article about the opening ceremony as well with that big to do with all the soldiers choreographing with that huge scroll. They had to all wear DIAPERS as no one was to leave that formation for over 6 hours even for a tinkle break. China definitely absolutely does not give a rat's ass about the individual.

Yup you got that right about not giving a rat's ass about the individual.... what individual? EXACTLY ... Also without permission from some of the surrounding residents, they were ordered to move out so they can demolish their house for the new highway to the stadium...
DIAPERS... REALLY? thinking about the whole china olypics surrounding/environment makes me cringe but just gotta keep more focused on the events....
Yeah gymnastics too young....... but sychronized swimming is on tonight WHOOPIE!!! ... be looking forward to that... fire up the VCR (Don't have a HardDrive DVD player/recorder yet)...At least my VCR isn't made in china

lol....... good one L.D. I think it's totally true. Wouldn't be surprized if the whole country was made in China.... I think you should go outside and grab a handfull of dirt and check just in case ...... yeah I know another dry one
Come to think of it, I wonder where all the military weapons are made Hmmmmmmm something to think about.
Should start another thread "Things you hope are not made in China" ...... Better check your safety belts

Bingo, the second object I lifted (microphone stand)! Didn't even bother to check further, too depressing. (I'm actually pretty sure that my guitar, the one I've loved soo dearly for many years now -a crafter- is chinese as well.
