    US doesn't maid lead-tainted Chinese toys either... of which they import almost all. Go try to buy a toy not "Made in China" in the US. It is a fucking task. Now tell me we don't rely on imports. America doesn't even supply their own tech support for the love of God.

    I'm a foreigner, but at least I speak English :lol: Not all Tech Support has gone to India, and in fact, the tide is turning in favour of native English support.

    Really? I didn't know you were a foreigner? Where are you from originally?

    BTW, I phoned Nintendo about a month ago...and got an American! Thank God they still care about customer support...unlike Windows XP activation hotline :DOH:

    I'm actually British, but pretty foreign to the locals I work with in North Carolina :lol:

    The tech support journals I am subscribed to (yes, even tech support has journals and periodicals) surveyed a large number of companies concerning outsourcing their IT support and the majority turned out to regret the decision because it cost them a lot more to migrate than they anticipated and consumer feedback was almost always negative. So, if asked to complete a survey regarding your service - make sure you complain! Someone somewhere does listen, if you believe it.

    I think it's because he mentioned this in case the world ran out of oil and etc, and mentioned it hee, as it's a gloomy subject. That's my guess, hopefully I can unlock the lime green text achievement for this.

    Yeah, we're heading for some shitty times ahead. Never a better time to live below your means if at all possible.

    in the US, the BMW's, Mercedes, Toyotas, and Nissans are more American made than Ford's and Chevy's.
