I was raised on Benny Hill and Absoluty Fabulous No wonder I am messed up.
Ok, seriously. Whos fault is it for the imports? Its not like we are dropping propaganda from our bombers to smother you in our way of life. We are a capitalist country, if you dont buy, you aint going to get this stuff for free! The argument that the US is smothering other countries is absurd. An example I can think of is Japan. They eat up western movies and other items, but are still respectfull of their society (even if they are wearing blue jeans).
I respectfully disagree. Disagree all you want but DS has a valid point there.
No matter the reasons many feel that the anglo-american influence is too strong.
The US capitalistic system produces too much to cheap.
So, please raise your prices, cut production and reduce the quality, then we can all get along nicely!
