maLUCo 0 #1 June 21, 2006 If the Japanese are able to force a return to commercial whaling then I believe that it will become our ethical responsibility to boycott these countries and their commercial products.Commercial whaling is an abomination and should be comprehensively outlawed. ...maybe this threat of a boycott would hopefully put an end to commercial whaling... www.maluco.eu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slappie 9 #8 June 21, 2006 What do we actually buy from Japan anyways anymore? I mean most of what we buy on a daily basis is made in China, via a Taiwanese or Japanese contractor.

At least I KNOW my sushi is made here in the US since it's normally made in front of me before I pop it into my mouth. Sony on the other hand.. I play a game called Everquest and it's based out of San Diego Calf. but the parent company is Sony. I've got a Sony TV I bought about 5 years ago. Hard to replace a TV with anything not Asian made. Might be able to find a Mexican made (assembled) Zenith if I looked hard enough.

miked10270 0 #13 June 21, 2006 WIth globalisation, is it possible to boycott a particular countrys products? For example, want to bet against your Japanese brand product actually being manufactured in the USA / China / Vietnam / Mexico / Canada / Europe / etc... All you'd be doing on a practical level is putting a local workforce out of a job. WHat may be more fun (not to mention a worthwhile tactical exercise) is for the pro-ban nations to track whalers & "let" their sub commanders impersonate whales. "Harpoon THIS Slant-Eyes & we might just "Harpoon" you right the fuck back!" Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Hey Slap.....it may get made in fron of you, but depending on where you eat, it may very well come from "Tsukiji", the largest fish market in the world. 2000 tons and over 450 different kinds of seafood that translates into roughly 1/6 of the TOTAL amount of fish peddled in the world.

billvon 2,895 #15 June 21, 2006 A few years back I was at a Best Buy, watching Pearl Harbor on a massive 60" plasma TV. Some other men were standing around. "Hard to believe that my father was there, and now there's a movie about it," said one. "Even harder to believe we're watching it on a Japanese TV," said another.

Ya I know but I was equating the process of slicing the fish and rolling it as "making it" in the US. Agreed the subcomponents of the finished product could be procured in Japan. The final assembly was done in the US in front of me.

Yeah, my Japanese motorcycle was made in Nebraska. Which is fun to mention when the HD guys bitch about buying American. They get really mad when I ask them where their bike was made. Not where it was assembled, but where it was actually made. They just can't stand to say their American bike was made in Mexico.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Then you get to start asking where our population was "built at" and then "assembled at." That's when it really starts to get confusing. Especially if the citizen was "built at" on a cruise in international waters, but the "conjoined companies" are both US based. Whats really annoying is this "made in the USA" tag that was sewn onto my ass after birth. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

The whole thing has gotten silly. I guess, the part that really gets me is the real lack of 'craftsmanship' in products. There was a time, a company took real pride in what they made. Now, it seems as though the idea is to just get it to market so folks will buy a boat-load of whatever and make money. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
