Excellent post 007.
I never joined the military but I did register for the draft and that sums up my feeling about the military. I'll do my duty if my country needs me but if they aren't drafting it's because they really only need "a few good men" to fight for the corporations. It looks like you learned the hard way. ;)
Seriously though, I agree with everything you've stated. I would really like the people to come to their senses and recognize the corporatism that's gripping the nation and controlling our government. I wish they could understand the difference between a small business and corporate power. Maybe one day.

Yeah, I've been hearing. People forget that Japanese products were once categorized as junk too. Today Japan makes some of the highest quality products on the market.
I think you are probably the better expert on China but from what I know, the Chinese do respond to market demand. So if American retailers are happy selling Chinese junk, the Chinese are going to keep exporting it. Meanwhile, companies like Huawei are finding a demand for high quality equipment in just about every country but the U.S. So if all Americans want to buy from China is junk, I guess that's all they're going to see.

I like several Chinese brands...
She would prefer a Japanese or European brand...
The stereotype of Chinese quality is still very prevalent over here...
I simply find that the Chinese brands are better on gas and cheaper to repair...
No American brands in China yet...
Soon, I am led to understand

I'm surprised that so many people on this thread are unaware that a "republic".., like a "parliamentary" system.., is a FORM OR TYPE OF DEMOCRACY.
It's like arguing that a male is not a human being because he's not a female.
Like "democracies" there are different "forms" of human being-ness.., male and female.., neither of which are more or less human than the other.
To argue that a Republic is not a Democracy is pure ignorance and reflective of an extreme need for a civics class.

Why the change in quality production in Japanese products? Thank this American for improving competition world wide. If one wants to really know some of the secrets to productivity, this is a great read.

And all your talk about Chinese phone quality, they use them just like the NSA in collecting data.
Why would one expect our defense department to publish why they know the Chinese use their phones to spy on USA and give them the opportunity to fix/change how they collect data.
Home of the "Screaming Eagles" the 101st Airborne. Every time I entered the base or got near the base, my GPS would change my location to a city about 50 miles from the Clarksville TN base.
A Chinese produced product in the 90's and our technology to shut them down. I knew what happened, but why do I have to know why or how it happened.
Something else to think about. You like foreign enemy produced so much, think about your AV products or even FB. Where are they produced. Do you think the Russians are interested in keeping their hackers at bay. I doubt it!

It's like thinking a male is not a human being because he's not a female. While different "forms" of human being-ness.., BOTH male and female are human beings.

I would strongly suggest that you study the "difference" between a pure Democracy and a Republic.

My point is...there is actually a difference.
A pure democracy is mob rule.

Yes the people vote in both forms of government.
A Republic is more stable than a Democracy.

Chamuco; it is time you discover the important differences between a Republic (our Republic) and a Democracy; instead of the similarities.
It seems you have been schooled by liberals. Do some studying.
