Since when have I put masks on?

What about my time at Walmart? Please tell me you're going to intimate that telling people the truth about a product is unethical - PPPPPPPLEASE!

Or, no, wait, let me guess - you're going to intimate that if you can make me look to have been unethical at anypoint in my life it gives you free reign and excuse to be unethical yourself.. right ROFL. Come now, I thought it was easy destroying your points; but, you aren't going to out and tell us you're still thinking like a third grader.
You really don't get it do you - do you have any moral or ethical standard beyond praying to a dollar bill?

I'm an adult. I did a lot of things in my youth and learned from it and changed my ways. I don't make any bones about it and rather am happy to say it. If it had been yesterday it would give you no excuse. You are responsible for your actions. You can't blame them on me or anyone else nor can you excuse them by pointing the finger. Grow up.

I've asked the question quite clearly multiple times, and no I'm not saying telling the truth about a product is unethical. YOU are the one saying undercutting the competition is unethical. That's how WalMart built it's empire. You worked at WalMart... follow the very simple logic here.

I'm not intimating anything. I'm just showing you how desperately wrong you are. Undercutting competion is NOT unethical, IMHO working for WalMart and helping them undercut competition is not unethical. But YOU SAID undercutting competition is unethical. So you've got two choices: either you're a bad person, or you're wrong. Take your pick.

I don't pray to anything. I have a very 1960's Catholic relationship with God, I don't hassle Him, He doesn't hassle me, at appropriate time I thank Him, whenever He feels like it He shows me a nice sunset. I work for money, because money does things I need it to do like put a roof over my head and food in my belly. I suspect you work for the same reason. The difference is your undies get knotted up when other people point out that money is and always will be an important part of life on this rock.

That last paragraph doesn't even make sense. Lets try to stay on topic. Businesses exist to make profit, undercutting the competition is not unethical, laws that hurt business in their attempt to be profitable usually damage the economy and need to be rethought. That's life in grownup land.

LOL - Yes, these children will someday find out the consequences of their actions, and unfortunatly, they will be very dire, because of what is happening.

Southack points this out in his post on China:

"Imports are being driven by soaring fixed-asset investment -- which was up 53 percent in the first two months of the year

weaker export growth and a slowdown in foreign investment, one of the main drivers of export growth

Beijing has come under pressure from its trade partners over its surpluses, especially from the United States, which ran a 124 billion dollar trade deficit with China in 2003, rising from 102 billion dollars in 2002.

Washington claims China keeps its currency artificially low to boost the export competitiveness of its companies and has been calling for a yuan revaluation.

They are importing our and other high tech equipment to compete against us, with our technology using their cheap labor. Then they will copy our technology, and we won't have either the technology or the labor.

When our wages get to a sub-chinese level, then maybe the free-traitors will understand.
