Lately I have had people refusing to buy Chinese made bowling balls. I can not argue with them and really I am in agreement with them. The new Columbia White Dots are now made in China. I looked around the shop as to where things are made. A good majority are made in China, bags and shoes. With all the press lately about the Chinese and lead in toys, poisoning our medicine, pet food and drugs I really do not want to buy anything made in China. I think someone also forgot to mention to companies that China is communist! It may be about making things cheaper but people are now looking at American safety and jobs!

guys guys, u r blaming the chinese companies to make the balls, when u should be thinking whats causing it

let me again point out few facts.

china has problem putting all the kids into school, thats not a problem that i can see in the US

at primary school and high school, kids are working on their homework at least 3 hrs after arriving from a whole day at the institution, and during the period of exams, they dont sleep more than 6 hrs in order to attain higher score so they can go to a better rated high school/university.

if u have a chance to visit china, u might see kids wearing school uniform on their knees on the street asking u to support them to buy some books, and personally i ve seen someone with great grades.

now, imagine if all these education problems doesnt exist in China. u think will be the chinese companies can make bowling balls for such a cheap labour cost?

my point is that when americans got more educated, they started to ask more from their employer, and the ones who has a good university degree will have less of a hassle finding a job. But then what happens with the ones without good education? well im sorry for those who dropped out of college/university or those who didnt even get into one, because thats the price of living in an advanced country and not being able to catch up with the pace.
So, then what happens when the educated americans who owns the bowling ball companies say, why im doing a favor for the losers in my country and bring our company down? lets just make our products in a country with a population less educated and hardworking, by doing this, cheaper balls for us and for the customer.

do i make myself clear? or should i put this in a easier way?

on second edit:

Scoot, yea i do understand that some good bowlers can do that, but as myself, believing that a long lasting ball is a good ball, i wouldnt throw a $200 ball for spares
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

jfpops...is funny...one of the new series of pops guys....

I like Chinese food too and I like cheap goods.

If people are serious about this we have to make a choice!

Read "Where the west went wrong" by Pat Buchanon.

In it he describes the Hamiltonian system we lived under for over 100 years starting after the war of 1812.

Tariffs, no income taxes, a highly paid well educated middle class, and all goods that could be made; made here. Naturally goods were more expensive than they would have been if manufactured by cheaper labor overseas....naturally a global economic policy of free trade did not exist.

If you want this type of National Economic policy of protectionism brought back Buchanon is your man....if you want cheap goods, jobs shipped overseas to India, China, and Mexico most of today's candidates are for it except for a few democrats who are for some complicated version of protectionism.

I believe there are better solutions but these are the two most common systems regarding trade that most are promoting.

The flow of jobs is predictable and all corporate CEOS must play ball and lower costs and maximize profits if they want to keep their jobs and maximize their own wealth. They are doing it well...the middle class suffers...America suffers.

REgards,

if you ever owned a business u would know, older ppl work less but gets more. I believe if those 45-55 work as they were 20-30, they shouldnt lose their job.
