Time for Jeff Bridges to dump Hyundai

paddyoh: obviously this is a really old thread, and there’s no way I can match the Green Eggs and Ham poetry.

But I just want to say I disagree with you completely and you’re on the wrong track.

You sound like you’ve gone beyond political correctness and are now on the slope to McCarthy-ism. Who decides which commericials are American-enough for actors to participate in? You?

Will you next say that certain books shouldn’t be endorsed, or written, or even read?

To explore your scatterbrained idea a bit further: would you be opposed to Americans acting in a Mercedes commercial? How about that guy who does commercials for BMW on the radio? Should we mount a petition against that bastard? Maybe find out where he lives?

What about Danish teak furniture? Do you feel that it is a threat to the Amish? Perhaps we should ban its importation – also Italian furniture while we’re at it I guess. Could you make a website for that please?

Mephisto makes some damn nice shoes – should we put a stop to that?

Perhaps none of us should travel outside the U.S. where we’ll spend tourist dollars aiding some other economy. (Not to mention the environmental damage of our flight overseas – the horror!) Maybe you could chair some committee that would decide which countries we’re allowed to travel to.

Yeah – that sounds really American to me.

This is a joke right. Buy American just because it’s American? Carbon footprint? With the exception of a Ford, who the Hell would buy an American car anymore?

That’s EXACTLY why one shouldn’t support any of these government bailouts for GM/Chrysler or most other institutions frankly……Because all of this excess spending our government is doing is eating into the credit/liveliness of our future generations to bailout companies that naturally would have failed.

If it were me, I’d say…Fvck all the baby boomers who have a sense of entitlements, who feel that the government should make all their GM/chrysler pensions part/whole, who continue to clamour for increased benefits from the government, while indirectly tacking on additional expenses to our future generations…..

If I were to choose between investing in our future generation or baby boomers (or myself even), I’d rather see those billion of dollars invested in education for our future children so that they can compete on the global economy by bringing to the table new ideas and innovation, rather than trying to comp a bunch of baby boomers crying foul now. How many years did baby boomers have to save money, build a retirement plan? What happened? While there are several folks from this generation that are suffering, clearly there were some who managed well as well. Why should my children pay for my ancestors poor management/mistakes?

I’d rather see the billions go to children with work ethics to compete on the global scale than ones that whine about unfair life is. Same shit as to why I hear there should be quotas on education for some ethnicities. Same lame ass excuse for folks that can’t compete and cry foul..You mention your kid is studying in the medical field. Great…I hope he doesn’t have the same shitty viewpoint about blaming everyone else for his problems….Because I’m sure he’s going to find out that, regardless of which field you choose to have your career in, there will ALWAYS be competition, even in the medical field, and eventually there will even be global competition in this field.

For instance, you think that insurance companies are going to continue to pay a domestic radiologist thousands more than someone overseas, if there is no distinction in service, ability,etc moving forward? The technology these days are definitely not going to prohibit this from happening in the future….And especially as americans continue to clamor for more affordable health care, you can bet money we’ll see more of this happen, because there is a demand for it…

Being self-competitive/marketable and providing value add will be increasingly necessary. Enjoy the following readings…Welcome to the 21st century.

Some U.S. hospitals outsourcing work
Shortage of radiologists spurs growing telemedicine trend

http://www.venturacountystar.com/news/2008/oct/17/long-distance-healthcare-quotits-unrealistic-for/
Hospitals are outsourcing radiology work

Jason Redmond / Star staff Dr. Charles North, a radiologist at Community Memorial Hospital in Ventura, says outsourcing night radiology work means better service for patients.

Obviously, most medical procedures can’t be outsourced currently or in the near future such as surgeons.

However, despite obvious limitations of what sort of surgery can be done, I find the advances in robotic based surgery does make things very interesting for the future, especially if it means the ability to perform procedures remotely.

http://biomed.brown.edu/Courses/BI108/BI108_2005_Groups/04/

Especially since, having undergone some laparo surgery at at a university recently, it is an area seeing more interest…No worries though… human surgeons aren’t going away anytime soon, my understanding

FLU: I test drove the GT500 when they first came out and it is a beast. The only problem was that dealers were marking them up an insane amount (and they were still selling like hotcakes).

It was in white with the blue racing stripes and it was fast! Great low end gearing (you go through the lower gears real fast and it chirped the tires in 1 – 3).

I just wasn’t prepared to shell out $80k for a Mustang. I really liked that Ford commercial about that guy with the GT500 on the autobahn (because American roads weren’t fast enough).
