Screw that I already speak Black-anese. More to the point, I am a big fan of the global market place so if the Chinese are coming so be it...BUT I work for a Japanese company that I love and support, so tell the Chinese to take their time making the trip, oh and to stop bootlegging all our crap. It's impossible to compete when your $200 product is being sold by a Chinese company (whose CEO was just arrested for failing to pay taxes) for $40 in complete disregard of patent laws. Eediot ting dat :)

We all know about the IP problems. Truth is the US should probably tread a lot lighter in their trade negotiations with China. We're not the big dogs on the block anymore. Before you know it, we'll be having to make a whole lot of concessions and we'll be wishing we played nicer. Frankly, I think they're just being nice to us. In the end they will take what they want.

Now it's on...:) Screw that! Our policy has ruined us in many respects...lets push an embargo on one thing but then play nice on another. Truth be told both sides need each other, China will play nice because the US is the biggest consumer...so makes no sense for China to take over the outside of a market if it's blocked from selling in the market. And the US has to play nice because we would love their cheap labor and goods etc. Neither side should bow and scrape to the other...But y'all should fear Jamaica just watch the day they finally legalize ganja you going to see some varieties come out of the island that will blow peeps minds.

About Me

My photo
Cali-J ueber alles in der Welt. Some think that I am mean; (I call them friends), in fact I am not that mean. What I am is sarcastic and dry to the sandpaper level. I have friends that I have never said a kind word to their face, but I praise to the ends of the earth to anyone I know and will defend them to the end. That’s just how I roll! My boys know that I am down for them, my girls know that no matter what I will keep them safe (and occasionally flirt with them [If you are a female friend of mine and think I haven’t flirted with you it just means you didn’t notice, it was extremely subtle or…not yet ]). No one is safe from my sarcasm even my own parents; hence of course as a kid I spent a significant amount of time in punishment. I treat people with respect if I think they deserve it – everyone starts off with the same amount of respect from me (a lot). You don’t need to earn my respect; you have to keep my respect.
