A. Cooper @7:53 – “I’m gonna break one of Kate’s rules and comment a third time.”
Two comments max is a rule? Where does it say so? Uh-oh.
I certainly agree with Osumashi Kinyobe on the slave-labour angle and I try to avoid buying Chinese-produced stuff. I think I’ll try harder from now on.

Nobody shops at Walmart anymore, it’s too crowded.

Do you buy a metal ruler at a dollar store for a buck or one at Staples for for 6? or a clip board for a buck or another one for 4?
Folks, some things matter … some things don’t … if it’s never used – it don’t matter.

Woodporter: Very good!
One of the best Yogi(Berra)isms. Either you were waiting for the perfect opportunity, or it just kinda came outa the blue. In either case, hats off!

The Rules as I understand them…there is no limit on # of comments. However, “this is not a chatroom”, is #1 of the Rules.

OK, I confess, I shop at Walmart, because it is the cheapest place to buy water softener salt. It bugs the dickens out of me to buy something from Ontario, but there you go. I can’t find any alternatives.

“this is not a chatroom”
Huh? Kate, herself, boasts that more couples has found their mates here than e-harmony. Google it.

Snagglepus: Yea, Yogi was a good quote. Some of my other fav’s:
“You should always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise, they won’t come to yours.”
“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
“Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.”

“In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.” YB
O(n)T – Is Google wrong to allow itself to be censored in China? Instinct says yes, but how else could they do business there?

Woodporter:
Yogi was good, but Confucious, the ancient Chinese philosopher had him beat:
-Man who drive like hell bound to get there.
-Man who run in front of car get tired.
-Man who run behind car get exhausted.
-War does not determine who is right, it determine who is left.
-Man who walk through airport turnstile sideways going to Bangkok.
Got a million of ’em.

“You have to go to the web to buy Western (I include Japan since they pay decent wages).”
I don’t suppose it ever occured to you that pay is relative(at least in China)Their cost of living is much lower so their wages are lower.
Horny Toad

Black Mamba,
Kate has said on multiple occasions that if you’ve posted three times on a topic, it’s once too many. I don’t think she’s literal in that sense, but the message is clear. I’ve tried to always respect that. She will correct me if I’ve made a mistake. Cheers.
gord,
I’m going to type this very slowly, so as to aid in your comprehension.
I just now realize that you’ve taken my words as a condemnation of the people here at SDA. I was speakin in broader terms, and I thought that my second post made this quite clear. For this I apologize.
The rest I stand behind. North American society is to blame for many of it’s own problems, and even those of us on the side (c)onservatism need to walk the walk or we’re hypocrites. As brilliant as the people here are collectively, at times there is a frightening bunker mentality.
Peace.

Durward: “I only eat New Zealand apples”.
What the hell is wrong with you, man? Canadian apples not good enough for you? I get angry every time I go to a supermarket and find apples from the US, Chile, South Africa, and no apples from Canada. We grow some of the best apples in the world – my cottage in rural Quebec is near some of the best apple growers in the world, and I love picking up different varieties like Spy, IDA Reds, Winesaps, etc., that I rarely find in my megamart. How can an apple shipped from halfway around the world be better than a relatively fresh Canadian apple? Have you no civic pride?

I agree with some of the points John (at 4:30 p.m.) makes, but I take issue with this one:
“if the pro-democracy riots were allowed to occur, a Civil War could have escalated, causing wide-scale deaths”
The thing is, there have still been wide-scale deaths over the past 20 years due to the actions of the government. A civil war would not have been pretty — they never are — but in the long run the overall toll might have been less.

A Cooper said
“I just now realize that you’ve taken my words as a condemnation of the people here at SDA. I was speakin in broader terms,..”
Here’s what you said, it certainly seems like a condemnation.
“Bull$hit.
You’re all the same people that flock to Wal Mart on Sunday mornings to buy your crappy products made in China”
If you didn’t mean that why did you type it? You don’t get to enter a room call everyone names and then expect them to sit and chat nice with you.
Defending yourself against false allegations is not a “bunker mentality”. You hurtling insults out to people you know nothing about because you think they might be doing something you don’t like is more of a “bunker mentality”.
Your apology is excepted.
And I apologize to Kate for going on a bit.

I sometimes go to Wal-Mart to buy the stuff they sell everywhere else at twice the price.
If the product is the same and you pay more somewhere else just for the snob factor, you’re a fool.
Of course, the snob in me makes me walk through the place like something stinks. Just like everyone else there does… lol.
Bottom line: I shopped around for a giant patio umbrella and went to about 5 different stores at various price levels (everything from zellers and Wal-Mart to the high-end local pool company.) The quality was all basically the same (mostly mediocre) and I ended up buying the one at Zellers (of all places.) My choices were to buy any of the Chinese-made products or the free sun-induced burn. There was no other option I could find at any price.

KevinB and Durward, Ontario “empire” apples baby.
When they’re in season they will blow the taste buds right off your tongue.
By the time you get a New Zealand apple it’s been shaken and vibrated to mush.
I eat local as much as possible, and would never knowingly eat anything from China or France.
All that aside, GO WALMART!

“I doesn’t cost anymore to eat healthy food than fattening food.”
That is provably untrue.
