I guess here in Michigan this needs to be added to religion and politics.

Otis B., just out of curiosity - what brand of stereo do you have in your living room?  :o

A Magnavox.

I see what you're up to there Dan, but your attempts to label me a hypocrite won't work because I purchase products from American/Michigan companies when at all possible.

I eat Better Made chips. We drink Faygo pop. I drive Ford vehicles. I bought an XBox 360 instead of a PS3. I have a Dell computer and an Apple ipod.

You better get rid of that ipod cause Apple outsources the ENTIRE manufacture of the device to a number of Asian companies.

All of you foreign car lovers literally make me sick. I have nothing else to say except that if you drive a foreign car, I hope you and your family burn to death in it because that's what you deserve.

A most excellent 3rd grade comeback!!!!

I think it's a lot classier than pissing on my own state.

Oh, and the quality gap is a myth. Check out the JD Power survey and you'll see that American cars rank right up there with foreign cars. Not that it matters, because most of you seem to believe in myths such as those about foreign cars, the quality of Livonia schools, etc.

I can't argue with retards.

Retards, nice.......when you can't think of an intelligent statement, come up with random stupidity. And as I stated earlier on, if the foreign makes are doing so well, then the American makers should find out why. They are obviously giving people what they want. Otis, as the saying goes, it's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

Hope ya don't eat Hershey's chocolate, either. Heard they were moving their gig to Mexico!

Look Otis, our whole family, my husband's and my side as well, drive Ford vehicles. Let me count....that would be a total of more than 20 vehicles as of today. Have NEVER had a problem with a single one of them. Oops, drove a Chevy for about 4 years.

Anyway, with that said I still think your comments are WAY outta line. You hope the family burns to death??? WOW, completely over the top..........I just lost a whole load of respect for your comments on this forum. I was with you on most every subject until you started throwing a temper tantrum.

You're the worst one. I come with statistics on the ratio of Americans employed by the domestic manufactureres versus foreign automakers and you fire back with:

But they both employ Americans.

That is a [moronic] response from a [moronic] individual, so I'm going to stand behind my original statement.

I really don't give a rat's ass what you think Otis! Here you have someone who mostly agrees with the Buy American concept and you fling insults. Go find an American car forum to bitch on cause you're lookin' like a real idiot on this forum now.

Love, Spanky (and my friends Alfalfa, Darla, and Buckwheat :rolleyes: )

Within that grammatical nightmare you accuse someone else of being an idiot. That is the definition of irony, spankster. :lol:

I'm going to go ahead and lump you in with the [moron] crowd.

Otay, Buckwheat! And I'm going to lump you with the morons that keep forgetting to attend their anger management classes.

Go on now, Otis B. (yeah, like THAT's your real name) scoot off to your class cause you seem to be WAY behind the other retards in your class :rolleyes:

Oh, and just to get this straight, this is an American car vs. foreign car thread. I buy American. We have well over 20 Fords being driven by our families, and I'M an idiot AND moron?

Re-check the idiot meter, Otis.

Sorry Otis, but your posts aren't worth the time they take to read. Why don't you go take some anger management courses, and come back when you can behave like an adult? Careful, your lack of intelligence is showing.

BTW, yes they DO both employ Americans, that is a true statement. Do oyu have proff that the Japanese don't employ Americans. I'd stop before you embarrass yourself any further.

Proff? No, I don't have any proff but I do have numbers that the Big 3 automakers employ about 10X as many American workers than their foreign counterparts. The link is in another post in this thread. I'm not going to post it again since you didn't bother to read it.

You see, Bean, these are what are known as "facts" and "statistics." "Facts" and "statistics" are used to back up "arguments." If you make a statement, you should probably be able to cite some evidence to support it.

Had you finished your GED you might have learned that. I hope the kiddies got Mrs. Bean's genes because you sure aren't helping them out.

I hope you're not truly as ignorant as you come across on here. Because if I had to guess, I'm going to say you didn't make it past 6th grade. You seem to have anger issues. They make medication for that you know. Go see your doctor.

How many times can you say anger management? Once, twice, THREE times!

I thought you weren't reading my posts? Can you respond with any evidence that foreign automakers contribute more to the American economy than the Big 3? I can lead you to the water but I can't make you drink it, son.

You have not contributed one substantive post to this argument.

Refresh my memory...where did I say they contribute more? You wont find it because I didn't say it little guy. And thanks for the lunch time entertainment. Your ignorance makes me laugh.
