PS3 overtakes total Xbox 360 sales in Japan ... already
Jan 13th 2007 12:24PM (Joystiq)Where is the fair free trade?
When you bring that to the table then you'll get some tolerance from me.
It's a country who leaves shiploads of produce rotting in the bay "pending inspection" on purpose so it goes bad and they can ship it back.
It's a country who finds any and everything wrong with products exported to their country so they can turn it away.
When they treat us the way we treat them, then we'll show some tolerance and unerstanding towards them.
Why do they do this? Because it obviously boosts their own internal economy, which is fine but don't agree to have the stuff shipped their to begin with your just harming foreign businesses that way.
People will argue, well look they opened up car manufacture plants in the US, that's great.
NO IT ISN'T!
The ONLY reason they opened up these plants here in the US is for POWER. They now control THOUSANDS of US jobs and when it comes time for trade negotiations and if even a hint of tightening the trade gap between the US and Japan is mentioned, they now have the fate of thousands and thousands of US workers to use as leverage to blackmail our country into not making trade more fair.
A few years back I read an article about the trade gap and it used a toyota corolla as an example and when the calculations were done if we applied the same guielines to their imports as they do to ours a Toyota Corolla would retail for nearly $30-35,000. Go to Japan and see what a US car costs there, it's sickening.
I don't give a crap what console they use. Their Kamikaze, everyone is one Entity, brainwashed lifestyle is fine. They can do jumping jacks while wacking off to Final Fantasy MMMXCVII for all I care.
