Globalization is how our world works. We're using the internet and therefore partaking in the participation of supporting globalization. I always get a kick out of people who use the internet to organize protests against globalization.

You can pick and choose, BB.  Talk to a Chinaman, but don't buy his ping-pong balls.

Al - about British cars - I actually quite like some of them, the middle one you pictured is quite cute.  And, they weren't nearly as bad as their negative reputation.



Well we should be reevaluating our trade policies every two years and placing tariffs on countries that manipulate currency. This would make foreign products more expensive in the U.S. causing more American products to be bought here and possibly even countries like China having to rely on their own consumers to buy their products.

Currencies?  Wage labor rates are something like 1/20th of American levels, bbag.  currency manipulation is unimportant.

Currency manipulation as in their products are sold here for more than what they're worth there.

Think you've got that backwards, buddy.  The idea of currency manipulation is to make products cheaper in the target country.

My bad I typed it wrong. We need to have tariffs to combat that.
