projection? Absolutely. Im trying to project reality to you and it just isnt taking. You and ol' "90% of Walmart's good are made in America" ToddsterPatriot dont like to accept fact.

Well, we call that an anecdote.

You call it an anecdote, I'll call it reality.

actually make most of the vehicles that are sold in the US here in North America,

I dont deny they are making some of the vehicle here. Civics and accords being two but you're still trying to say they are making all of their vehicles here and it just isnt true. So why dont you go look at reality.

your anecdote borders on sheer meaninglessness

Im sorry that you find reality meaningless. Like I said, seek help. That's all I got, you're wrong and im not gonna argue with you like a child.

Dear SwankyC,

"You and ol' '90% of Walmart's good are made in America' ToddsterPatriot dont like to accept fact."

First, I don't think that's what ToddsterPatriot posted a few posts back.

Second, I've refrained making any comments on ToddsterPatriot's assertions, and will continue to do so. It wasn't the point I addressed.

"You call it an anecdote, I'll call it reality."

And that's why you appear to be a bit reality-challenged, unable to distinguish between your own limited experience and the larger reality. It's analogous to saying that if you're unemployed, most people are probably unemployed.

"...but you're still trying to say they are making all of their vehicles here and it just isnt true."

At no time have I said this, or even implied it. In fact, if you were to re-read and actually comprehend what I quoted, you would have seen that:

"...actually make most of the vehicles that are sold in the US here in North America,..."

MOST means more than half. ALL means 100%. There is a substantial difference between more than half and 100%. Your inability to deal with reality seems to have spread even to your ability to comprehend what I wrote.

The only point that I've made is that at least Honda and Toyota make a lot of vehicles in North America, a significant proportion (apparently more than half) of those actually sold in the United States.

Do you dispute that?

If not, why do you persist? I haven't said anything more than that.

"That's all I got,..."

And it is very little, indeed. Bald assertions devoid of substantial evidence.

"...you're wrong and im not gonna argue with you like a child."

* chuckle *

That's how a five year-old argues - "You're wrong and I'm right." LOL. That really is how children argue.

Glad you can admit it. That's the first step toward recovery.

;-)

Actually, WalMart bought about $137.5 billion in American goods out of about $198 billion total. So that would be just under 70% American. About 7.5% Chinese, about 22.5% other.
