Subject: RE: BS: What's wrong in the USA From: Amos Date: 22 Mar 02 - 10:25 PM Good on ya, Mz Sinsull. The boorish split-mindedness of executives from places like Germany and the States who vist the red ligft centers in Bangkok and Ohom Peng,m and take these desperate practices as a peculiar carny show to be enjoyed while visiting exotic ports is just mind boggling to me!!

Subject: RE: BS: What's wrong in the USA From: SINSULL Date: 22 Mar 02 - 09:45 PM Well...I am currently boycotting all products made in Thailand as a protest against the tourism/child prostitution that has become a staple of its economy. If there were a way to identify and boycott individuals or companies participating in this perversity, I would. |

And as for me, I'll take California wines any day. If Joe Smith wants to drink that foreign horse-piss, so much the worse for him! |

Pretty soon, Maine will revert to being a place that only exports people, and ballast stones! |
Subject: What's wrong in the USA From: kendall Date: 22 Mar 02 - 09:27 PM Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 a.m. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB. At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in.....AMERICA.....
