Made in China

[Barnyard Dawg]

I saw a program on the guest worker program today, Mexicans coming to America to work our crop fields why because it is beneath Americans to work physical labor today. With our unions fighting for raises and health benefits we have been phased out of competition with other countries, these countries could bankrupt us if they wanted to. Who is leading in technology today, who is making advancement of alternative fuel vehicles we should be but we are not. who owns or have finance these foreign countries manufacturing, America.

I try my best not to buy "from china" - it does seem like there is NOTHING else available.

I was buying apple juice for my kids with no regard to where it came from, when all the china stuff hit the fan, I started LOOKING - I only found one brand that does not come from chinese apples.

Why on EARTH do we buy APPLE JUICE from CHINA?

so what? now u wont buy from china? because of 1 shoe thing?

No, Justino. So what? Well, pets have died. Thousands or millions of toys were recalled because they were lead-toxic to kids. People died in other countries because the "Made in China" mouthwash was made with antifreeze. Cheap toothpaste in our dollar stores were made with antifreeze as well.
It's not about one shoe

oh, sorry. I didnt read the hole thing

OMG i know, china has had so many bad things there! its almost like theyre out to get us!

Justino, LOL, I wish it would have been about one shoe. Then I would be able to just throw the one shoe in the trash, LOL

Wildsky, that's one of the points. We grow lots of apples, I wonder where our apples go? Probably to China

Actually China is one of the few countries that still like Americans.

Not only apples ---- I bought some mushrooms fromt he dollar General Store and guess what it said on the back=== Made In China. Oh, my, was my first thought, I showed it to my hubby and he said, "don't buy no more of them tainted things".

I guess before long our Nation will be considered the United States of China.


Well Wal- Mart already is.

And I don't see much friendship from China. IMO

Most of the dollar stores (by their various names) carry 100% Made in China products. Buyer beware.

Could you imagine the cost of a tomato or orange if a Mexican didn't pick it? Down here, businesses bus in their help EVERYDAY. Haitians and Mexicans mainly. Americans have a sense of entitlement. People say immigrants are taking our jobs? I don't think so. I've had an ad in the paper for 2 months for help. Not one American has applied to be my dishwasher. Finally got a semi-English speaking Mexican kid to do dishes. That's the best I could get.
