You are racist and wrong. Just for the record: business _IS_ war, has
_ALWAYS_ been war. Maybe not to mom and pop, but when big money is
concerned it's all-out battle. Let's see... Coke and Pepsi advertising is
a good example. In their ads, they make their products sound like the
next best thing to nirvana. Propaganda, pure and simple. Instead of
tossing bombs at the other side, however, they vie for market segment.
Guess what? US conerns own hundreds of billions of $$$ worth of overseas
businesses, land, etc. Big deal that Japanese own some American stuff.
It's a big world these days, and it's all for sale :)

Maybe you should look at what American companies do to Canadian companies
before you go calling the Japanese 'racist and wrong'. Just more proof that
all is fair in business _unless_ its done to America, I guess...
Later, Chris.

Its always interesting to see the new people log on and make
fools of themselves. For your info stupid, the British own more of
the US than anyone, Japan comes in a poor 5th or 6th in US property
owned. France and the Netherlands also own more than Japan. Of course,
that probably doesn't bother you as you seem to be rather a racist
yourself. Dweeb ! This is a computer newsgroup, politics is
somewhere else !

apparently he made multiple cross-postings. Maybe his command-line
length wasn't enough. Anyway, I've seen the post in several other
newsgroups, even though my newsreader unreads for all cross-posted
groups. Locally he posted the entirety of the document he mentioned
to uchi.test. I'm sure he's received numerous flames in e-mail by
now, and after seeing the post so many times I'm going to talk to our
news admin here about it. We should probably ignore it at this point.
FYI.

Give me a break fella. I will not even comment on why this was posted
to this group (and several others I subscribe to).
First, in a free market system like the U.S. money talks. If the
Japs currently have the bucks then so be it. How many U.S. corporations
have major interests in other countries? Hell the U.S. owns and rapes
the majority of my country.
Hell they even supply me with my pay-cheque!! (I better not bitch
too loud :-))

Canadians own more property in the United States than any other group of
foreigners. The British are second. The Japanese are a distand third.

Right on. Certainly the Japanese government is restrictive to outside
influence on its business. We would be too if Congress wasn't incompetent.

somewhere between 4 and 6 times a year, and has for the last two
or three years. I'd sure like to know how they keep it up.
I've read it. It's about 50% fiction, 40% racist garbage, with about
10% fact, just enough to give it credibility. Sort of like "The
Protocols of the Elders of Zion" if you are familiar with that bit
of undying anti-Semitic propaganda.
