Hear from who/whom or where?

Globalization has been exposed for the joke that it is.

That's a queer thing to say for a guy that works for Honda.

Walmart shoppers aren't about to start paying higher prices to deglobalize. The soccer moms of America will silence you.

Don't take me wrong, I'm pro US business, but how about producing the products we want at compeitive prices.
For example, where are the super mileage diesel vehicles we want? We could convert methane to diesel fuel, there's not one plant in the US that does that. Europe does both. I'd invest in startups that do these two things.

If by queer you mean interesting then yes, I know it was.

I have to go where the money is.

And Honda makes most of their stuff here which is not a form of Globalization.

This is negative and hurts the non-producing country in the long run.

A company setting up shop and manufacturing and selling their product here is not negative and does not hurt the country.

Sorry but, you can't make up your own definition for "globalization."

The fact that you work for a company here, who purchases parts from all over the world and sends their profits back to Japan......... is the epitome of "Globalization."


Globalization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


"Globalization is often used to refer to economic globalization, that is, integration of national economies into the international economy through trade, foreign direct investment, capital flows, migration, and the spread of technology."

Ok, I'll call it Globalization "light".

Guilty as charged. I am just in awe of some of lies that people fervently gobble up about political figures they don't like.

Not to be totally argumentative but much of the profits you refer to are in the form of HMC stock on the NYSE. You can be a owner of Honda and you can profit from it. BTW it's at about $23 down from $34 and it's a good buy.

I would concede that the major players in the company are in Japan.

The Materials Science Program at the University is DOMINATED by teams trying to come up with a way to manufacture organic semi-conductors.

Silica is hard to come by.

it's been 85 years since we had a black president, using the "one-drop rule" that America seems to use. Warren G. Harding had a black great-grand-parent

I hope Obama wins, so America can really see what the Democrats and socialists really want out of this country, and then we will go back to the right...again.

I love this, Obama has two years, America will see that he is POWERLESS for the economy and in two years when all the house seats open up again we will start to get back to our sinces.

In the words of the every increasingly all knowing Ronald Reagan.

The government IS NOT the answer, it is the problem.

News flash guys the government CANNOT bail the worlds economy out. They proved that with the first bailout attempt, what is different after they spent billions and billions....NOTHING.
On the topic of wealth redistribution he wants to enact. I hope and pray Americans aren't gullable enough to think that socialism is the answer.

This is the argument to end that topic..
America's population wants to move toward socialism.....gov't healthcare,wealth deal, etc.
Everyone else comes here because our healthcare as it is is excellent, wish they would just leave it alone. If you can't afford it, sorry, unless your old or a baby the only thing holding you back is yourself, get a job and pay for insurance just like me and millions of other white blooded Americans do. Thats life, take care of what is important.
All the other socialist countries out there are trying to more toward a capitalist society like ours, because it IS the best.
Free market economy works, if the stupid govt would realize it and get the heck out of the way it would fix itself. NO not overnight, it cannot be fixed overnight, may take 10 years, who knows...personally I don't think America will ever be a superpower after this is over, or even a little power for that matter. Its Biblical propechy guys. The dollar will never be worth anything again, we will eventually adopt a one world currency, probably the Euro the way things are looking.

As far as "Wealth Reditribution" think of this:

If I go out and take money from a "rich" guy, it is stealing, I don't care if he make 15 trillion dollars a year of 5 dollars and year, it is stealing.
IF a one man govt does it, it is communism
IF a multi man govt does it is is socialism

I don't think Obama is a socialist, he does however have socialist ideals, and if he gets it done, he will definitely move our country towards socialism. His ideals seem harmless enough to the "middle class", most people are all about money, they don't care where it comes from. If they however would stop thinking me me me and think about where that money is coming from they would disagree too.

I don't want anything I didn't earn, money included.

Spreading wealth is not the answer, growing it is.

There should be rich guys, poor guys, that is RIGHT, as it right and wrong, not right as in republican....

No body is saying most rich guys aren't jerks and such, but the truth is most of us have everything we have because some rich guy has a company that we work for.

I would like to start a shop of my own, but with Obama's tax plan and things he wants to do the deck is stacked against me.

I love the US. And bottom line is this, not only should he not be the president, but he shouldn't hold any public office if you ask me.
My first requirement for anyone to get my vote is to salute the flag ANY time you see it, and STAND AT ATTENTION anytime you hear our national anthem, and leave the presidential seal alone, it is not partisan and has stood for all these years without anyone defacing it,
way I see it he is a disgrace to patriotic Americans anywhere who thank God they were born in the US and love America. He is a disgrace to the democratic party and a disgrace to his race. America is the best nation is the world and anyone who isn't proud to be an American needs to be run out of town on a rail, not elected president. It is a disgrace, some would give their lives for our flag, he won't even salute it. He is a disgrace.

It's a liberal invasion, intoxicated by the election. It will all calm down, I don't even reply to them any more. Honda is a great company that is an asset to this country, and when folks want to down grade their contribution to our economy......well, they are uniformed. And anyone who sites a Wiki to buttress an argument is immediately discounted by myself as uniformed, an Internet junkie and otherwise not credible.
