Take away all the walmarts and you take away a LOT of jobs.

If you take a few moments to do just a bit of research you'll find that China is one of the most incidious polluters on the planet. Dead rivers filled with toxic waste. Fisheman with open sores from contact with the water. China is a drving force behind petrol demand polluting the planet at incredible rates and all teh while taking more and more jobs from Americans and Europeans. I find that to be an unfair advantage. How the fuk do you make a correlation lumping all Asian contries as being the same? Or is it because you think they all look alike? I bought a JAPANESE CAR not an Asian car. All my other Toyota vehicles were built by Americans. China has no investment in the US. Walmart preys on lower income Americans and provides few benefits to it's workers.

So what if you support the Chinese or Japanese Economy? They also bring the money they earned and spend it in North American in tourism dollars...or their countries buy stuff from us too...

Obviously you have no understanding of the term "trade deficit". Sheesh...
Walmart is singely responsible for near 15% thaT'S ONE COMPANY!!!

lol @ Anti-Wal-Mart

You don't like the OEM ones, you don't like the Wal-Mart ones, but the ones you do like don't fit. Sounds like you're up the creek man. Either way, this thread went straight to crap in two pages.

SO?
An califinia is the worst on our side of the world...
go figure

"Walmart preys on lower income Americans and provides few benefits to it's workers. "

Yeah so they take people that may otherwise be homeles or far less off and give them a steady paycheck. So phuckin what they don't get great or even decent benifits at least they have enough $$$ to survive. The little guy needs to eat to.

Just sitting here at my desk I look at a few things within arms reach
Powerbar Made in china.
Harmon Kardon sound system made in china
CA mircophone made in china
Microsoft wireless mouse made in china
picture frame made in china
pen holder made in chin
leather chair made in china
CDrack made in china
desk light made in china
Rayovac and Chicago Electric nickle meta hydride batterys Made in china
Chicago electric Battery charge made in china
GE phone made in china even the battery inside was made in china
Digital Cam made in china
3com web cam made in china
wireless head set made in china
RCA TV and remote made in china

If you think you bought a car that contains no products or supplies from CHINA you got another thing comming.
Just like there are no big all american made cars anymore... That all have parts and components from all over the world.
Some from China, Japan, Thailand, korea
Same with Harley. One of their largest producing plants is the fatboy plant in Brazil. Bang goes thoes American jobs.

If you don't want to support the country you had better take a walk around you home and toss out everything made in china. That means everything including things like DVD's cd, power cables, remotes, lightbulbs, furniture, clothing etc.
Then you need to check what all the American made products you have and make sure the product suppies are not supplied from China.
I highly doubt ond navy or the American eagle manufacture thier own own zippers, rivets and buttons. I wonder where they come from.

I mean come on....
How many other stores do you boycott because that sell or are owned by chineese people.

Thats funny, whenever I go into a Wal-Mart I usually don't see people that were ever homeless. It is usually men and women that grew older and things like inflation and energy prices made their once-ample retirement funds seem insufficient, so this wonderful savior of a company () came along and gave these seniors minimum wage jobs with shit benefits. Now they have to struggle to work 35 hours a week so they can afford the enormous perscription deductibles they're stuck with...

You guys can argue about free trade and the effect of Chinese mass-production on world economies alllll day long... but you had better not argue that Wal-Mart is in any way shape or form positive. The place is fucking EVIL... it stands as the bastion of extreme capitalism, and all of the negative socioeconomic effects that go with it. I'm not going to sit here and argue that Wal-Mart prays on the American consumer... their prices are by far the best on pretty much everything they carry. I will argue that they pray on the American WORKER, the American SMALL BUSINESS OWNER, and the American SENIOR.

Myself... we as children were raised not to shop there... that goes for my extended family as well. I only hope more families begin to do the same in the future... I know I'm going to tell my kids that they should never shop there, lest they want people thinking of them as some cheap fucking hillbillies with no regard for the economic health of AMERICA.

NOW THATS PATRIOTISM BITCHES har har har

Have them join the military. Then they can be patriotic and shop at the PX/BX/Commisary while serving our country.

[ChinoCharles]

Haha, hopefully by then Ran our country would have reestablished some credibility in their foreign policy... then I'd be all for it. Right now, I'd tie my kid to a bed before letting him join... sorry.

Fat chance. Our country is going to hell in a handbasket. Raise your kids to be wiser than their peers and hopefully they can make a difference.

Interesting to get a Canadian view, the workers there get health care. fuk this thread it was intended to warn off suckers from buying mats from MacNeil that won't fit. I agree 1000% with your view Chino!!!

If you're looking for a good source for all-weather mats (or any other kind of mats/etc), try AutoAnything.com. I've bought a number of sets of mats, a few car covers, and a few other items - all fit great and performed as promised. I can't vouch for what may or may not be made in China though...

I'm not affiliated with these guys at all, I just like to steer folks to them since I had good experiences with them. Hope this helps.

Thanks Goose I spoke with them and they have a great fitting mat set for 70USD!!

[nsmitchell]

Floormats! hehe

[ChinoCharles]

Tomjasz, which ones did you get?

[Goose]

Glad to hear that AutoAnything could help in this matter.

Please share your experiences (what you got and how they fit) once you've installed 'em.

Thanks again

"WAL-MART, HANES, J.C. PENNEY AND PUMA SWEATSHOP SCANDAL
Major U.S. clothing companies continue to exploit children in overseas sweatshops. In the latest in a series of reports from the National Labor Committee (NLC), brand name Wal-Mart, Hanes, J.C. Penney, and Puma clothes have been traced to a Bangladesh sweatshop. An estimated 200 children, some under eleven years of age, are being forced to work over 100 hours per week and are being paid six and a half cents per hour to make these clothes. "It is time for these U.S. companies to act immediately, today, to guarantee that this does not happen and that the children are returned to school," said Charles Kernaghan, director of the NLC.
