| The hormone filled American beef claim is a very interesting study of trade protection. I think Harvard Business School has a case-study on it.. Anyhow, the point is that protectionism comes in many forms. |

Aussie/Kiwi beef tastes like onions.
I don't like onions. |

Fixed Your Post. Aussie beef has a strange, pungent taste. Argentine beef may rival US beef, still generally falls short in tastiness.
Why are vegetarians constantly preaching/recruting exactly like freaky Christians? Could it be the same reason--each is not very secure in their beliefs and feel the need to contstantly do busy-work trying to recruit instead of, you know, thinking? |

LOL. Okay, I was thinking more along the lines of saving American from all
those cheap plastic products which would be flooding the shelves of every Walmart only to be tossed in the heap a few months later.
And I was warned several years ago to never buy a Killed In Action (KIA) car.  |
What do you have against jobs and blue-collar manufacturing? |

Care to show me how this will help the American economy? Jobs are being out sourced. And here is a quote from today's press release.
| Quote: |
| Analysts doubt that the deal will provide an immediate lift to American car manufacturers. Only 5,000 American cars were sold here last year, while South Korean automakers sold 800,000 vehicles in the United States. The gap accounted for 80 percent of the $13 billion United States trade deficit with South Korea last year. |

That America doesn't do that well selling cars abroad is it's own fault. Heck, even domestically, it's their own fault. They are too slow to react to trends. They make SUV's long past their popularity. In the 70's they made gigantic engined muscle cars while people were buying the early generation of Toyota's and Hondas. In the 80's, and through the 90's, the auto manufacturers lost they asses making minivans far past their "expiration date." It's like there is a conglomorate of polyester Leisure Suited Execs making all the trend projections in that industry. Their own fault. Free market at work. |

Something we agree on Jejujitsu..American cars are generally behind in both technical qualities and design. In simple terms: they are ugly, and on the engineering end, they are inferior to European cars or Japanese.
If I wanted to buy a luxury car, I would either go for a Lexus or something European.
if I wanted something more affordable I would buy a Toyota, Honda or perhaps something European like a Peugeot.
if I had a lot of cash to spend on someting really flashy Id buy European.
I cant think of a category where I would go for American cars. Trucks? Perhaps only there. |

Yup, Pick-Up trucks are the only thing American auto companies do well, but unfortuately, no one but Southern US, white males really gravitate towards that type of vehicle. And maybe east coast butch dykes too. |

I can't comment on Aussie Beef, but it's been proven that American Beef is just horrible for your health (Canadian beef aint much better, since its the same companies.
These major US compaies are absolutely injecting the cows with tons of hormones and chemicals (as are most foods created by multinationals). Doesn't Europe also have a ban on US Beef. Not that Korea is much better, there is a ton of pork here and they are nature's natural garbage can. They eat anything.
US Beef has also been irridated, basically just a radioactive method of removing all living enzymes, therefore you are basically eating plastic.
The process is FDA approved, but the FDA is one of the top 3 criminal organisations in the world. |
Say it like it is brother ... say it like it is!
btw - What, in your books, are the other 2 top criminal organizations? |
Big Oil and Pharmaceutical Companies. |

Really? By whom, dare I ask? Sounds to me like more anti-GM crowd propaganda.
American beef is simply the best, bar none, for quality, price, and selection. So say I, anecdotally of course.[/quote]
It's not propaganda, more people have diabetes and cancer then ever, American beef is pumped full of crap.... try not eating beef and pork for 50 days, i guarantee you will be sick if you eat Ameican beef or pork (especially pork) after not eating or 50 days.
American beef is by far the worst, cheapest made, irrirated (radioactive) and most dangerous beef out there, and Canadian beef is just as bad.
If you wan to eat good quality beef is must be organic or kosher. But yeah American beef is nowhere near as good as Europeen beef. |
