Subject: Japanese
cars
Bart,
Your argument is simplistc, shallow and really
uninformed.
I sure hope you're herr to straighten me out.
I haven't had a good straightenin' in a long
time.
The US and "rest" of the world do not practice
free and "fair" trade.
You got me there.
I don't know Bush about any of that, but I know
that Demo and GOP presidents
are/were equally free to fight fire with fire
if your allegation is, indeed, true.
The BFEE and frankly Clinton sold the US market
down the tube
with NAFTA, CAFTA and is a real SHAFTA to American
workers.
I don't know about that, either.
But I know when Clinton was president, everybody
who wanted a job had one and we had the most
peace and prosperity in our history. If you content
the bad effects of SHAFTA took a few years to
manifest themselves, I'll take your assertion
under advisement. (SHAFTA is a joke)
I too have owned japanese midget-junk-piles and
once owned a korean midget car.
They are simply crap.
Is that a fact? I don't believe it is.
For that to be a fact, it would mean:
American
car buyers prefer crap to quality.
JD Power
and Associates is on the take like a Zogby poll
Consumer Reports is a whore
company, shilling for Japan over America.
Your personal anecdotes, while probably true, are still personal anecdotes.
If every Swede I met at that Hollywood party was gay, would all
Swedes be gay?
The US buyer has been brain-washed by the corporate
advertising whore media conglomerates.
And the dog barks and the kitty says "Meow."
But if your car can't make it past the three
year warranty, you can't blame that on "brainwashing."
I don't claim to be an expert, but I bought used
car contracts for 8-9 years, and from the finance
point of view, I'd OK a loan on a Camry faster
than a Impala because, when you play the odds,
that Impala's coming back to me 2.3 times before
the Camry comes back once.
Each finance contract was a poker game - I had
to weigh the odds, then place my "bet."
A bet on Japan paid off more often than a bet
on Detroit.
I'm sorry, that's not my fault.
I was hired to make "the man" a profit.
I'll bet you most americans are so stupid they
couldn't point out the difference between a crankshaft
and BFEE butt-fuggery, even with bush, rummy
and KKKKarl slamming them in the rear.

Dude, like with Kelly, I enjoyed the tangle.
Just think - if we could do this live, on BCR.
Wouldn't that be cool if people wrote and said,
"Bart,
you're wrong on (Pick One) and I'll prove it.
Call me at 9 PM CST and you have my permission
to record our conversation for your next BCR."
That would be cool...
