I just couldn't resist!

I don't know a single ethical breeder who sells outside the US/Canada.
And that includes me.
YOu may not agree with that idea, but each person has a right to make that choice for their animals. One must not only look at the particular home an exported animal would be going to, but to the CULTURE into which that dog and its offspring may someday enter. The US has its own problems, but at least it would be a bit easier for the microchipped animal to find its way back to me. I take the responsibility seriously.

The outsourcing of the better paying jobs continues unabated resulting in a fast diminishing middle class in the US.
The outsourcing of legal work to India is moving into high gear:

And apparently China is planning on selling cars in the US starting next year and their first offering will be priced in the $6K to $9K range depending on options. Check out the link below:

The basic reality is that we can never compete with countries which pay their workers a fraction of the salaries we do, offer little or nothing in the way of benefits and have minimal requirements when it comes to work safety and environmental standards.

Oi you lot, i have noticed slight RACIST remarks and i wont have that to towards anyone!
Am not getting involved but racist remarks no matter how relaxed they are wont get very far when am around! I wont agree with anyone using someones accent as a chance to score points against them! I am 100% British and i wont have anyone make racist remarks about anyone and i dont care who they think they are!!!
Racism has caused too much pain for years it is the 21st centuary and it has no place here or anywhere else for that matter. Hitler died a long time ago and racism should of died with him!

Well, there are racist remarks on this thread and there is no excuse for it.
My comments are oriented to the fact that it does the US a tremendous disservice to outsource jobs that enable people to have a middle class life. Companies that do this are motivated by one consideration only - to make a greater profit. The dislocation and economic pressure it puts on the average person is viewed as par for the course.
People who lose their jobs frequently end up in other jobs that pay a lot less - so they end up as part of the under-employed statistics.
Just to reiterate, there is no way that the American worker can compete with those in other countries who are paid a fraction of the wages here, with neglible benefits and work safety and environmental standards. This would be true if the workers abroad were white, black, brown or any other hue.

OK, I'll throw in my two cents worth....about dogs that is...
What about all the top breeders and competitors....mostly buy their dogs from Germany rather than the excellent young 'uns being bred here at home in North America?
Just throwing that out there like a stick....go get it!!!

OK! Here we go again! Here is that racist card again. Anthropologically there are -Caucasoid (or Caucasian), Mongoloid, Negroid, and in some systems Australoid races. People from India are Caucasoid. Thus where is the racism!!?
I am sick and tired of people invoking rase card on drop of the hat. We can not even speak freely any more without being scared or threatened by someone screeching RAAAAAAAAACIST!!!!!!!. In some "free" countries it is a crime to make an even remotely misconstrueable racist statement.
You do not like illegal aliens: You must be racist.
You mention statistical fact of high black on black crime : You must be racist.
You do no like our governmental policies: you must be racist.
You say that all the people are not the same: You must be racist.
You say that different cultures are not equal: You must be racist.
You speak about economy in India versus USA : You must be racist.
I personally think that there are very few true racist;... that means people hating someone just because they are of different race. I also believe that people who are screaming:"Racist" too often are preoccupied by race so much that they in fact are racist them self.
Please keep in mind that these days the race card is a card played by people who have run out of logical and proper arguments.
Are there racists? Yes. But to me and to 99% of all people these days it is all about CHARACTER and not about race.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
So concentrate on the facts if you can. Get a life and stop throwing the race card around. It sickens me!

By the way I would like to add that true racist will be easily seen in discussion and by his/hers acts and will oust themselves out of the society without anybody pointing out their persuasion.
