chinese onions

[Thomas W]

What else are made in China?

Hi Vassili

Blade Traders, a fillet knife, the Carabiner, 4351 Military, Responder,
Sea Hunter, and the 1028, 1029, 1078GH (hunting fixed blades). I believe that is it (other than the models mentioned earlier in this thread).

Then they are delaying the inevitable. In the meantime, because of outsourcing, Americans are losing jobs. It not just the manufacturers though-Americans need to show some fortitude and not be so materialistic (in just a small way).


And I'll gladly buy them, but never from Wal-Mart. Profits made by Wal-Mart (profits on even American made goods) are reinvested in China. We all need to put China out of business.

No offense Gmountain but you are taliking gibberish
"Our avowed enemy?"
Please
Says who?
China is not my avowed enemy

Wal-Mart is the biggest importer of Chinese products in the country and has single handedly forced many companies to close their doors in the US and move operations to China

Single handedly??

need to understand that saving a few cents now on detergent means we will have no jobs for our children in twenty five years. I will gladly pay more for goods rather than go to some big box store. I do.

Fear mongering at it's finest
"but what about THE CHILDREN?"

As our money flows to China, all products will cease to be made here.

That makes no sense
Please elaborate

China supplies weapons and munitions to terrorist killing our troops

You have been brainwashed somewhere along the line...

Until we stop blindly accepting products because they are cheaper, nothing will change.

Huh???

Slave labor huh?
That is up to debate/interpretation
To some people i guess 2 bucks an hour is slave labor?
2 bucks an hour is better than ZERO dollars an hour
At what hourly wage would you stop calling it slave labor??

If you want to step in the Political Forum we welcome you with open arms :thumbup:
I am curious to where you get your "information"
The world of macro economics is a lot more complex than Wal-Mart "single handedly closing factories"
It may be a factor
But it is but one of many....................

What was the original topic?
Onions?
I had one but it was made in USA
I got it at WAL-MART for 29 bucks!!!! :thumbup:
ROFL
And I'm proud I bought it at Wal-Mart too
Seemed ok to me
It was too heavy so I gave it as a gift

I prefer American made knives but if the price is right I'll buy a Chinese made one no problem

Sending subs to surface in the middle of our carrier battle groups, shooting down satellites, increasing their military size, wanting the same fuel we do, estsblishing military bases in South America, getting ready to drill for oil off of Cuba. You are aware of all these things, aren't you?

Single handedly??

Do a google search on Wal-Mart and China. It's common knowledge.

Fear mongering at it's finest
"but what about THE CHILDREN?"

I know plenty of people who lost their jobs because their factory moved to China. If Americans had been willing to pay a few extra bucks, they would still be working.

That makes no sense
Please elaborate

As more and more people lose their jobs to factories moving overseas, they will continue to think that they have to pay the absolute cheapest price to get buy consumer goods. That will cause more production to move to China. Eventually all production will be there.

I call slave labor work done by political prisoners, religious prisoners, prisoners of conscience and even criminals for no wages at all, because they are forced to by the Chinese government. Slave labor is just that. If you think that is not happening in China, you need to become more aware of what is going on there.

I am curious to where you get your "information"

books, newspapers, news outlets, internet, magazines.

That makes you part of the problem. I hope you have a good job.

Thanks Thomas W!

I guess this answers my question on the Responder. I think I'll pass on that one, but do plan on purchasing more US made Kershaw knives in the future. Why doesn't Kershaw make this information available on the product pages?
