See, Taiwan exists mainly because of our support for them (and our hatred for Communist China), and without that, well I guess it would just become a province again, huh!
Negative comments used against your country huh, my people (Jews) were slaves long before blacks came here from Africa, you have a lot to learn on that subject, so get used to it.
"Your country" cannot have its cake and eat it too...

my people... i wonder if we are still of a "people". i'm sure we've been living in the states for a while and as have our parents. In what way do events happening in the homeland actually effect us a great deal? Do we care about the elections going on there? just to ponder.

I'm reading an interesting book right now....called "The Plot Against America". interesting what if view in relations to antisemitism in the US around the time of world war two. Very slow book though.
I'll be going back to my W.E.B. griffin stuff after I'm done. And Michael Connolly. haa.
I got nothing to say on the topic of ripping other companies off besides that fact I think it's crap. Especially when it comes to apple. I happen to like aplie. I'm tying on an apple keyboard attached to an apple G5...strangely enough using a microsoft mouse...about the only thing by them that's any good.

I don't know why people complain when an idea gets ripped off and then repackaged and sold for less. It has been and always will be that way. Besides do you honestly believe Apple's prices for the Shuffle are justifiable? Here you are arguing about a Coporation that could care less about you (the consumer) while they rape you in the *** on cost and sell you an over priced outdated piece of junk.
And before you start calling the kettle black Israel could of just as well been an extension of Jordan, Eygpt, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon well hell just take your pick from any neighboring country if it wasn't for AMERICAN intervention.

that's an exaggeration right? you know that Taiwan does not manufacture a lot of car parts. Cheap stuff is mostly made in China. i wouldn't be suprised if that super-shuffle thing was made in China... it's just a Taiwanese company.

Taiwan does manufacture a lot of car parts whether its oem or aftermarket. I have been to some of the factories over there.
Yeah I might exaggerated a little bit about "just about everythihg" part,
haha and you are right, cheap stuff are indeed made in China by tw backed companies these days..

oh and with no US help, the newly formed nation of Israel fought-off the Syrians, Trans-Jordanians, Egyptians, etc.
There is no such thing as a Palestinian, and the Lebanese are puppets of the Syrians.
do you always lose this bad at foreign relations???

im not usually arudous about this kinda stuff, but i'm with ghost shadow. how can you weigh a country as more important than another when their influences and impacts are on completely different spectrums.. economically.. what has Israel done?
anyways.. both Israel and Taiwan are on good terms with America and in many ways it's win win. they get their economic and military privledges.. and we get to spread ourselves out in the map.
