I don't think the comments are lame at all and applaud efforts to highlight this issue.
Indeed I look upon them as patriotic
The only thing thats nuts is your attack on someone who dares offer an opinion different than yours.
Surely you can find better labels for fellow forum members than lame and nuts?
1- not everyone on this forum lives in the US. Actually, many live all around the world. Crying that 'they took er jerbs' is great and all, but it isn't applicable for many here.
2- I didn't call anyone lame or nuts. I did say that it is lame to use vague generalizations to dismiss a product based on the country of origin instead of based on the product itself.
And I said that it is nuts to dismiss a company just because it doesn't literally make the products it sells because that is the MO for probably 85% of the industry. That is the norm.
Do you see the difference? That line of thinking is nuts and absurd, and I explained why. I didn't just emotionally call a poster names, like you suggest.
If you want me to find better labels, I could say 'ignorant of modern economics and manufacturing.' Not sure if that would be any better though?
...I kid, I kid.
Well this thread has the potential to be more controversial than that 'why are UL tourers hated' thread!
