Im sorry if my wording was misleading but yes to my understanding most products originate from CHINA!!!

MrKrinkle - If you don't mind... could you update your location? We only know what people provide us... but it does help us all identify where someone is coming from if, well, we know where they are coming from.

Also... this helps members help you with your geographical questions.

PS... The other day we looked around our house and thought... thank god for china... we would be in the dark ages without them :)

At least 80% of the things in my house are probably made in China....just about everything I get has the little "made in china" sticker. Even the laptop I'm typing on right now is made primarily in China.

Am I worried or concerned? No...if I had to worry about everything that I have that comes from China then I wouldn't have any time for anything else.

I am sure many of us remember back in the late 1960's when Japan started importing everthing you could thing of and we all looked at the label and said--"ahh--a piece of junk, it is made in Japan". Well look at what is coming out of Japan today from cars to electronics--excellent products. I think that China is just having its growing pains like Japan did and will eventually be regarded one day as high quality just like Japan--So give it some time--Sun

I'm tired of seeing "it's made in China" used like that one line is an argument against a product. That is not an argument -- it is a single statement -- that's all.

Now, what people tend to want to say when they use that line is, "it's made in China, so of course there is no quality control, build quality will be horrible and it will likely poison and/or kill babies!!!"

You would think that western economies never produced poor build quality goods or had to recall products because they've injured or killed people -- they have, numerous times.

I'm not sure if it's ignorance or something more directed, but it really needs to stop. It's almost never presented in a balance way (balanced would be: "to be fair, the west has had it's fair share of products that were deadly or poorly built, too.") and is designed to just instill fear and/or uncertainty.

If you have a reasoned argument that you can present that follows to a conclusion of "therefore, one should never buy products manufactured in China" or "therefore, one should never buy electronic cigarettes manufactured in China", then present the argument.

If you don't, then stop with the "it's made in China!!" crap -- it's not an argument -- it's closer to shouting "she's a witch, burn her!!"

I know right! We all live on the same planet, just because something comes from a different part of it, it should never dubbed ****ty Thats just raw racisim. Its kinda obvious that Asians are, well, "ahead" of us lol Whether we like it or not, Their learning systems are so much more advanced than the world's in general. I know this will spike a few arguments but I believe its true. Your right Lacey, We would truly be in the dark. Long live Unity!
