The endless GM bashing brings out the worst in me and I admit to trolling those threads. I do make a consistent effort to counter any misinformation that I find. And there is a ton of it when it comes to bashing GM. I wont back down when someone bashes Ford or GM largely based on their opinion or some snippet they got from the evening news. There seems to be a lot of experts about the domestic manufacturers around here who really know very little other than what they read on some site or hear in some 2 minute news cast.
When it comes to other threads I try to be as helpful as my experience will allow and always defer to those who know more. Hopefully that doesn't classify me as a troll....but if so, oh well.
Amen, bro. I have personally seen lives ruined by plants moving to Mexico or just closing altogether. It also seems like the news media is misinformed when they talk about "global economy" and American made products. They always mention the Camry that has 80% domestic content and the Chevy Aveo that has little to no domestic parts. They don't EVER mention the Malibu that has 80% parts and the Toyota Prius that has no American parts. This "global" economy is another joke. We have the consumer market the whole world is after, and there are some who think defending our domestic industries is bad. We can only benefit from keeping jobs here instead of enabling communist China. I am very passionate about defending our domestic industries and others have seen me as a troll also, but who cares.
