That cutomer base seems to be older people who probably won't be buying another new car. I can't wait for GM to regain the "world's largest auto maker" again. Toyota can go down the shit pipe and close down every small town explotation they call a factory and we'll still be a stronger country that's better off in the long run because of it.

I'd love to see them back at work too, but that doesn't mean I can't want both companies to be doing fine.

They started it on December 7, 1941. They are still pissed we beat their ass in 1945. If you don't understand that, you are part of the problem.

...Really?

Well, in that case, you should know I'm Native American, and I want the American economy to fail. You guys have had it coming since you invaded our country, and then stirred the pot repeatedly when you kept screwing us over on land agreements. If you don't understand that, you're part of the problem.

See, I can be a dick over something that happened a long time ago too. I'm not trying to downplay WWII or anything like that, but the vast majority of people in Japan were born after the war, so in all honesty it's just stupid to hold a grudge for a conflict caused by a different generation. I don't blame white people around today for the fact that most of our people live in poverty on crappy reservations, and you shouldn't want several people to be out of a job because of something their grandparents may have done.

Why YES. Yes I do laugh at her. It's great. She gave me hell when hers was faster though.

Not to sound like an anti-patriotic douche but, the US broke neutrality laws by siding with the allies yet cutting trade with Japan. We pretty much instigated the attack. :/

The situation leading to World War II was complex. Anyone who says it was just one country's fault is talking out of his posterior.

Off topic, I know, but I always get a chuckle out of people who're using history to justify buying or not buying a freakin' car and sound like they've never even researched the history they're using. It's a ludicrous argument anyway since the military government ruling Japan prior to and during the war was destroyed by the war, and, at present, any Japanese person you talk to or meet had absolutely nothing to do with it.

It's like calling people living in the South today slave traders.
