I knew about people being worked to death, its uncomfortably common over there. They have a word for it. But the links to dictatorships, thats news to me.

The liberal media doesn't want to remind anyone what goes on in a socialist country. They want America to become the same for some unknown reason. That is why you won't hear much about this. It will go in the trash with the scientific data that shows "global warming" as a natural event and has nothing to do with human activity.

and this surprises people? did anyone think that a company could come from almost nothing to number one, or close to number one, in less than 70 years without abusing some rights? ask WAL MART how they got so big and you'll find the same kind of abuses in their closet.
it takes alot of time to make yourself big legitimately... GM has been in business for 100 years... they're the 5th largest corporation on the planet... you dont do what Toyota has done in 60 years without some kind of abuses. people always ask me why I dont buy anything but American, American made or English cars, and the reason I give them is this: "we, as Americans, have a job to do that nobody wants to take seriously: supporting our own position in the world... we're the leaders of the free world... America is where the world comes to get educated and strive for a dream of betterment... but we, as a whole, buy cars built by companies that are built by former Axis powers, import products from countries that treat their citizens and employees like slaves, and then get mad when the rest of the world thinks we're hypocritical and ignorant... we are ignorant, and its time for it to stop... if the car wasn't built on American soil, we need to not buy it... even better if its built by a corporation that is based inside of the continental US... Honda and Mazda are exceptions to my rule, since they are companies that were not in existence during WWII or are currently co-owned by an American company... realizing that we have to be more attentive to where our money goes is going to be the start of us freeing ourselves of the shackles of global dependence... and who knows, we might actually learn to like the items we buy in the process... might find out that GM, Ford and Chrysler still make good cars... and might make life a little bit easier for a plant worker building cars, trucks or auto parts for one of these companies, too."

Moreover, global warming is part of a natural cycle that happens approximately ever 10 thousand years. This is the first time that extra pollution is involved. Those toxins are proven to be bad and will make this cycle worse than the last one. How much worse is up to how much pollution is in the world by the time it happens. Right now, the prospects aren't great, but they aren't catastrophic either. In other words, the people that say global warming is all-natural are wrong and so are the people that say global warming in a human phenomenon. That makes just about everyone wrong on the issue.

@SilverTurtle: there are countries beside USA where citizens and employees are treated good. Hell, in some of them even better than in the US. Will you ditch american cars after I give you some examples?

I know in Germany (or at least it comes off this way) auto assembly line workers are treated quite well and given consideration as far as their benefits, etc. Then again you could say that for almost any European country since their goverment is so incredibly different from ours. Truth is this is still speculative, and you guys may see it as so wrong (which to an extent it is) but you really need to study and know the Japanese culture before you make such harsh judgments. Not only that, but don't forget GM, Ford and Chrysler are no saints either in regards to assembly line worker treatment. Something is definitely wrong when the CEO of the company you're contracted to work for is taking more money home when the company he's running is losing money.
