well, to be honest, I think It would suck to loose my job to someone else, no matter where they are. but at the same time I would love a chance to live and work in Japan, and I'm living and working in the US.
Even if I say I'm not pro-outsourcing, I'm writing this post on a mac computer (china) listening to music on my sony headphones (china) wearing Vans shoes (china) and I'm just going to stop there, because I was hoping to add a variety of countries to the list (vietnam, india hopefully, taiwan, etc but no, everything I have close at the moment is from china).
If I really wasn't pro outsourcing, I would probably make an effort in replacing all these goods with their equivalents made in the US.
Because all these corporations are re-acting to our choices as consumers, we like to have all these nice things and at an affordable price, thats the price we paid for, no one wants to think about the slaves in the other end of the world putting this together for us. At least not until another hollywood movie like the one with dicaprio warning us about diamonds.
So how could I say I'm against outsourcing and own all these things? I'm the reason outsourcing exists right?
(I might be overly dramatic, but you get my point)

Meeklo - It is awesome and right in tune with our discussion. I guess my view is, there are so many things wrong with our current global system...outsourcing being just one of them.designbot
- system (for lack of a better word)...outsourcing being just one of them. I completely agree about making no distinction between this and all the imported Chinese goods.designbot
