    when China is so incredibley shitty?
    Also, I seriously cannot believe how many toy recalls there are from there. Our kids are eating lead paint all the time and our dogs are eating melamine...and we still buy shit from there?
    seriously? why?
    No more made in China stuff allowed in my house. that's it.

    haha, good luck on finding things that aren't made there.

    And people are always hate on America because we pretend like we're all noble as we screw over other countries. China doesn't.

    because the media is telling you that it's a problem

    there are less recalls on chinese poducts by market share than american products

    we buy shit from there because it is cheap

    and america, being the way america is, has allowed china, to be the way china is.

    there are some pencils at borders, they're scented, I believe they're made in canada, with recycled newsprint.

    It's easy for dumb people to bitch about other's problems while they ignore their own.

    exactly. The Chinese are just more straightforward.

    No free press, censorship, political repression, oppression, human rights violations: all have one justification; it's for the good of the country. End of conversation. Such is the joy of a one party state.

    Is it ever so simple in the US? Of course not. Our government has to give's all these reasons and excuses for their actions because they have to get reelected. China doesn't have that inconvenience.

    my uncle in Italy said that the word "american" is a coined term. When someone is being a douche, they tell em - "you're being such an american right now."

    corporations in china being bad, doesn't make america any less worthy of it's share of
    ragging on...I do prefer though to spend my time ragging on my own country- Canada as it has a decent amount of raggability potential all in itself to keep me busy all day.

    But as I'm not a big fan of spending my day on that kind of doom I think I'll go do something positive instead.

    china's just too easy. making fun of america instead of china is like making fun of your douchebag friend instead of the severely retarded kid you know.

    plus china tends to be all secretive and whatnot, so people tend to have more info about america than china, hence more material.

    also, it's just trendy to hate on the states. it's like guys wearing their pants around their knees.
