Why Buy American?

[zoiDman]

Okay, even I have to jump in here (no pun intended) and admit that is pretty crazy. I'm not saying by any means when you see something like this that their government is great. Don't get me wrong, that's messed up.

It is Messed Up.

I wasn't trying to say that Foxconn throws people off buildings to Make an Example out of them for Not Meeting Production Schedules. Or to Keep the Fear of God (Foxconn) in them.

Just pointing out that in a Country like China, there Exists a Far Great Chance to Exploit Works and Produce Product for prices that can’t be Made in America.

It’s bad Enough that we have allowed the Chinese Government to become our Financial Overlords thru the Sale of T-Bills, but I don’t see the need to support their Companies if I can find a way Not Too.

Better go check out your car's VIN numbers then. If the first character is anything other than a 1, you've got yourself a non-american-manufactured car. Cool, huh?

I NEVER said I didnt buy anything but American ? I do and I have,,,,,, but if I had my choice in supporting American products & companies over foreign, I would support the companies in my own country first over foreign ones ALL DAY LONG.

I think this is the Key.

When I've been in Canada, people would say they wanted to Buy Canadian. Same with the UK and Germany.

It’s just good for whatever Country you live in to Buy Products made in that Country when ever possible.

Exactly, I think there is nothing wrong with supporting the companies with in the country you live in, in fact its the right thing to do when you can in my opinion, even more so in your local community.

What a load of........ This is so untrue, that one can hardly believe you wrote that. Now I remember why you are on my ignore list. I only saw your post since someone quoted it .

So you buy American because of poor little Chinese kids?

 

[DantesInferno]

We buy American to help keep our citizens employed. Lord knows the government ain't gonna help.

Really??? Well, IF this is true, then two things about that:

1. They do a great job.
2. They must have recently "saved" some fat-fingered ones to work at Boge.

I try and buy what I find to be the most superior product. I like to support craftsmanship and quality no matter where it's from.

....

Edited..... People seem to be upset over things.

Just trying to lighten the mood of the thread, lol sorry.. I remember back a few weeks ago I mentioned Bam Margera and you got all confused, ha. Sorry it led you to ignore me. I still love ya...

And so does Bam!

Please refrain from using overly offensive comments. I understand that a lot of people including me, buy American to support our country.

Although, there is a line that shouldn't be crossed. The comment that I seen has been taken care of at this point. Any further comments that are similar will be dealt with accordingly.

oh man boys. We got the cops on us now! Lol! Good job Eric and zoiD! Lol. And you thought America had free speech. Lol. Personally I wouldn't delete you guys, but I better shut up before my whole thread gets cut!

 

[Cowboy Cru]

Hey, here's something to lighten the thread. Does anyone know where the heck is the best place is to buy the Kanger 510 carto's in 3 ohm???

I didn’t think it was offensive. But I don’t make the Rules or the Judgment calls.

I think the ECF sometimes Errors sometimes on the Side of Caution when it comes to Deleting a post. But maybe it is better that way.

I say we just forget it and Move On.

Lol I wouldn't delete you either.. I respect your opinions and I hope you respect mine. We are all vapers and should stand united.

So vape on!

I live in the USA, and was born here. Im English American and I love my Country.
I always try to support small business and have been buying my ecig supplies from US sellers because shipping takes so long from China. I think most of the products pertaining to ecigs are created, designed and made in China. Give credit where credit is due, is my motto. I feel that there are many talented people with creative minds that make good quality items from All Over The World!!

I buy products that work and are to my liking (for a number of reasons) .... regardless of origin.

I do understand supporting companies who pay their employees a good living wage ... especially if its a high quality product. But if it means paying 5-10 times the amount for essentially the exact same product, I'm probably going the cheap route.

I love supporting fellow working class Americans but at the end of the day I personally have a vaping budget that I take into account.
