Mexico didn't work out, I guess.

I know you say crap to see if you can get a rise out of us, so I usually
ignore you, but damn that's offensive to everyone.

It's offensive because it patently lies about Mexicans and people of
Mexican ancestry, and it's offensive because it implies the rest of us
are stupid enough to accept your lying misinformation.

I'm going back to ignoring you and your ilk.

It is interesting that you flamed RichA but gave Uncarollo a pass.
Would you care to explain?

Because Rich's comment was offensive, and Uncarollo's was not.

Apparently Mexico _didn't_ work out as a way to keep costs down. That
has nothing to do with the Mexican work ethic.

Sure it does. Wages are 1/3 the U.S. or less and the only thing left
is productivity.

There was no mention of the factory in Mexico in either of the two
links posted. Presumably, the plant is still in operation and if so,
will perhaps remain in operation after the merger. It undoubtedly cut
labor costs, which actually tend to be lower in Mexico than in China.

I interpret Uncarollo's message to be every bit as offensive as
RichA's. Perhaps your reading comprehension is too poor for you to
see Uncarollo's statement as a gratuitous slap at something (Meade
plant in Mexico) of which he apparently disapproves.

Of course you do. As a sociopath, you have no concept of offensive
language or behavior. That's one of the markers of a sociopath.

There was absolutely no reason to mention Mexico wrt to the merger.
Uncarollo brought up the subject and stated that "Mexico didn't work
out," which is clearly an unwarranted and insulting statement on his
part. After a moment's reflection, one would conclude that Irvine
"didn't work out" either. I tend to believe that a company's problems
lie with management, not labor.

I certainly have a concept of your offensive language and behavior,
and your general lack of etiquette. Maybe you should educate yourself
as to what a sociopath is before slinging the term around so freely.

not....a sociopath has no conscience...they KNOW what they do is
offensive...they just don't care...

Failure of Conformity to Social Norms
Total disregard for certain set norms by society is a symptom that will
easily give a sociopath away. In fact, they often prefer to tweak and
twist the 'rules' to suit themselves and their fancies.

You don't suppose that fabricating lies about someone for which one has
an irrational hatred could itself be a sign of sociopathy, do you?

I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that
you will say in your entire life.

Did you ever happen to visit the "snitch site" that existed on the Web
a few years ago? I suppose that if the populace grew ever used to the
idea of reporting dissent to the government then things like the
snitch site would begin to seem perfectly normal (and "non-
sociopathic.")

I enjoy watching liberals see which one of them can be more

the other.

I think I have this right. 6000+ businesses in the USA are owned by the
Chinese. That from news stories recently from the attempt by a Chinese
company to buy a pig slaughter house in S. Calif.

Rather than comment on the sale of Meade to Jinhgua, or on the
relative costs of labor in different countries, or on the relative
importance of labor and management, you chose to add to the noise.
