I love having a new "digital camera"! Really a Android HTC Desire 610 "cell phone" I found on the ground at the Market In The Loop going across the street to St Louis BreadCo! It was like blank and brand new! I kid you not, no info on it! So I have a new "digital camera"! ;-) I bought a $5 microUSB to stdUSB to charge and DL pics to my computer's hard drive. I keep NOTHING on the thing! John Kuthe... |

I'm an Electrical Engineer too, reemember? I think I can tell when an electronic device is off! And no I didn't do all the things you can think of. It can't function at all with no electicity, and I KNOW it's powered off! 100% completely! John Kuthe... |

John, what do you do with all that candy? Sell it? Gift it? I used to bulk-produce it for gifts and for sale but frankly, it gets tedious after awhile and I lost interest in doing it. |

Remember back in the 1960's it was Japanese products that had the reputation of cheap crap...and it was true then. That said, while we Americans were denouncing and laughing about cheap Japanese products, they continued to work hard and improve. They eventually took over the electronics and even the auto trades and became known for the best products. |

I started this as my Christmas tradition 31 years ago or so, when I was still married back in the 1980's as a way to have gifts for everyone, something good that one cannot buy. And you cannot buy it becaose I make it and I will never sell it! Another part of my reasoning was to fight the commercialization of Christmas.. As I like to say while everyone else is out grunting and squealing running around maxing out their credit cards spending miney they don't have to buy the latest and greatest gotta have JUNK, I'm at home drinking wine and playing with chocolate!! :-) John Kuthe... |

Not that all American made stuff was always top quality, it was not. But some way. Sheisters have no nationality! The market economy in the U.S. used to regulate itself by offering us consumers a choice. Now we have no choice! We have Owners!! We see how that's worked out for U.S.!! Sick sad part is, we did it to ourselves!! :-( Frontline expose: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontl.../walmart/view/ Music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw64hRgLBqM Lyrics: http://www.lyricsvip.com/The-Reveren...re-Lyrics.html Results: Data from http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c5700.html U.S. Trade Imbalance with China (millions of dollars, to China) Year Amount 1985 6 1986 1664 1987 2796 1988 3489 1989 6234 1990 10431 1991 12591 1992 18309 1993 22777 1994 29505 1995 33789 1996 39520 1997 47695 1998 56927 1999 68677 2000 83833 2001 83096 2002 103064 2003 124068 2004 161938 2005 201544 2006 232548 2007 258506 2008 268040 2009 208688 2010 273063 2011 295422 2012 315053 2013 318417 2014 342632 |

China is improving at a fast pace and will surpass us before we know it. They still make some cheap junk, but they are also capable of making some high quality products. Some day they may even get the human rights and environmental issues resolved. |

I live in a rental property owned by the Chinese right now (a large part of the reason I weant to BUY this house outright!) occupied by a number of Chinese "students" who like my Chinese landlord who want to do everything very cheaply and superficially, and can't even clean up after themselves!! Like little children in the house!! We had the power go out in some of the kitchen outlets the other day, and the Chinese residents were all like taking pics of junk with their little cell phones and calling the landlord, and *I* was the one who ascertained a breaker downstairs had blown! I went downstairs and flipped it back on, and everything was fine!! Bunch of helpless Chinese children, I live with!! :-( John Kuthe... |

There was a programme on the radio this morning talking about how the Chinese are stealing land and sea areas from the Philippines. The reporters were in a Philippine area where poachers were breaking up the coral to steal giant clams and sea turtles , which they can sell for big money. It seems that last year the Philippines took some poachers to court and convicted them of poaching. China made a big fuss and demanded their return so now the poachers are free to do whatever they wish. They are wrecking the sea beds and there is nothing that can be done. Well done Thieving Bully China!!! Our Prime Minister can have him here and make a big fuss of him but I am not impressed. -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

I have no idea what you guys are talking about China surpassing us in the future. They already have. > Did you know there is an entire city built beneath Bejing in the event of a disaster? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_City_(Beijing) The Underground City (Chinese: 地下城; pinyin: DìxiÃ* Chéng) is a Cold War era bomb shelter consisting of a network of tunnels located beneath Beijing, China. It has also been referred to as the Underground Great Wall since it was built for the purpose of military defense. The complex was constructed from 1969 to 1979 in anticipation of a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, as Sino-Soviet relations worsened[1][2] and was officially reopened in 2000.[3] Visitors were allowed to tour portions of the complex,[3] which has been described as "dark, damp, and genuinely eerie".[4] Dixia Cheng has been closed for renovation since at least February 2008.[1][1] http://travel.cnn.com/explorations/l...n-city-508555/ The space beneath Beijing is increasingly seen as a means of easing the strain on a city overloaded with people and traffic. The state-run China Daily reported in 2010 that city planners have earmarked three underground levels to be built beneath Dongcheng district, housing shopping malls and roads. Should this happen, I wonder if future subterranean Beijingers, browsing rails of designer clothing, will feel any echo of the chilling "underground city" that once existed in its place. Can we send k00ky over for look? |

I would say it was more like the 50s when Japanese goods were el cheapo as they tried to re-establish their manufacturing sector. During the 1960s Honda helped to create the spread the motorcycle culture. Japanese cars made their appearance on the North American market and they were inexpensive, but well made. > They still make some cheap junk, but they are also capable of making > some high quality products.

We had a couple of world wars where North American business and industry outproduced the enemy. They made more and they made better. We had the technological advantage. There is no guarantee of that in the future. |

Hoo boy, I've never heard of this before, although it shouldn't be too surprising - if you're afraid of having nukes raining down on your head, you head for cover. Thanks! Americans have their own extensive underground facilities in Washington. Mostly, it's for those fat cats in D.C., those dicks! > > > Can we send k00ky over for look? Sounds like he might as well be living in China, given his housing situation. The great thing about China is that you can have a cigarette with your Japan noodles and nobody's gonna look at you funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQN6Gkv4JRU |

The Koreans make the biggest selection of spicy instant ramen. That's some hot stuff! They make some that's too spicy for me and my wife - ha, ha, stay away from that one.
