![]() ![]() Again, sorry mine irritated you so.Īnd again, however, it is a shame that such an all American sport has to rely on so many foreign manufacturers. But as long as Old Glory still waves, and the Constitution is still the law of the land, I have the right to these beliefs, as do you to yours. There are motels I won't stay in, companies I will not buy from, or patronize, and even some charitable organizations I will not support because of moral convictions. You can buy stock in COSCO for all I care. I'm not belittling anyone, nor do I want anyone to feel badly about owning any particular gun. You may not agree with me, and that's fine. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I wasn't even going to bring up anything here until Big Hext challenged the issue. I am not trying to force my beliefs on anyone as I have already stated. No one at any CAS match knows I feel this way about the Chinese government because I never bring it up. It was never my intent to offend anyone, or force (or have to explain), any standards or code of conduct on anyone. You lumped the Nazis, Italians, Brazilians, Ruger and the Chinese all together. YOU made a reference to the Italians in WWII. No one said a word about Chinese shooting down anybody. I hope I donÂ’t have to explain anything about Clinton. Hopefully we donÂ’t toss them aside, even when “we play cowboy.” Now that itÂ’s politically incorrect to have or teach moral absolutes and values, we have the degradation of our society that continues to get worse. Once upon a time morals and integrity played a major role in American life. I just thought it interesting that I shouldnÂ’t be able to mention them when you have a signature that speaks of “wisdom” and “virtue.” ItÂ’s OK for YOU to express standards and a code of conduct, but not me. I stated, “If what they do to their own people isn't enough, the fact that they supported Clinton Â- and that he did so much for them Â- is enough to keep me from buying one.” I didnÂ’t mean to offend anyone, or ridicule moral values.Īnd when I mentioned “morals” and “integrity,” if you will re-read that I said, “Everyone has different standards, and reasons for doing and believing what they do.” I wasnÂ’t going to go into any details, like I did here, but somehow you seem to be offended that I mentioned these two words publicly. If you will re-read what I said, you will see that I did not condemn anyone that does. I say all this to simply say that I will not, because of my morally values, willingly buy anything made in China. ![]() They were hunted, but with help, escaped to the United States. ![]() My colleague and his wife barely escaped with their lives. If Tiananmen Square is too far back to remember, the Chinese government sent in tanks and truck filled with troops to slaughter thousands of students, and placed thousands more in slave labor camps for daring to want a voice in government. ![]() He was, and still is, part of the Pro Democracy movement in China. I had a friend at Tiananmen Square in 1989. (China, for example uses slave labor in some of their factories, labor costs are naturally low.) At fault here are American manufacturers who ignore us because they canÂ’t compete with the cheap foreign products. First of all, putting it as simply as I can, I was just commenting that it was a sad state of affairs that we canÂ’t play and all American game like CAS without buying communist Chinese toys. ![]()
