    You don't even know what I was talking about as far as repairability of modern automobiles. You don't have a clue as to the liability I expose myself to every day I go to work.

    You don't and never will until someone you love dies in a crash because the airbags didn't go off or if they did work they deployed early or late. Or the frame rail collapses because someone repaired it when they shouldn't have or sectioned it where they shouldn't have. As I said, you literally don't know the first thing about it.

    Then you'll actually want to know. That will be too late.

    Turning a blind eye to or encouraging illegal immigration because it feeeels good to your liberal idealism may not hurt you or someone you love but it will hurt someone. As long as you don't actually KNOW you can continue to make sarcastic comments as you see fit.

    I'll continue to not care what race someone is and I'll continue to care about their qualifications and character and abilities. Something liberals used to be able to say.

    So what if Republicans never did. Today's liberals don't either.

    That's analog thinking in a digital world bro. Teachers should be basically robots, not being able to input their own thoughts into the lesson plan. It needs to be standardized.

    The best systems in the world are in Asia. Do you think they let teachers have a lot of leeway in being creative and look at the fucking butterflys and dance in the forrest and all that hippie ass shit?

    I hear you. Cars should be made here. They should built with well paid well knowledgeable workers. They should be built safely, not by some foriegn workers paid measely wages who don't know what they are doing. American made is the way it should be. These companies are all about the bottom dollar, building their cars abroad to save a few pennys and pay workers less and use cheap parts. They don't really give a damn about safety. Some companies have gone as far as to fake test results. Its terrible.

    I lost a cousin to a car crash. My wife's mother nearly died in one. To not know if your car is going to suddenly fall apart and kill you. That as scary shit. You as someone who works with cars probabky witnesses the shoddy work. I know you have. I see your anger about it. I get it. Maybe not exactly how you get it, but I do.

    It is almost all robots. If they could do away with people they would.

    Here is an example. VW parts. They've started making tons of them in Mexico. I had a bumper cover from VW that was falling apart right out of the box.

    Is it the worker?

    I can't say it is. If they move production there to save money maybe they're using cheaper materials too? Or the tools to make them are cheaper?

    Maybe it was just an anomaly?

    I hadn't thought of that. Yeah fucking robots. Robots can't see a faulty part. Can't see a crack. Don't know to double check things. Yeah I have heard cheaper parts. Cheaper tools wouldn't suprise me.

    Wow! You inferred the logical, instead of the irrational. Nice progress.

    Well, I made you up and I don't recall making up that statement of yours so I officially declare that it never happened. If you believe that, I've got some uranium stock for sale.

    bs....having worked in asia and having my son go through early public school there it's not true dude...their classes are way overcrowded to the point of education becoming memorize, test and forget.... they have teachers just like we do that are passionate about their jobs....difference there is parents hire private tutors and send kids to school after school...instead of to basketball practice or parked in front of a tv....the culture values education over entertainment...nothing to do with robots....the Japanese can be pretty robotic in approach but the Chinese...no frickin' way dude. You also have to test into college with way more competition than kids here do.

    My Asian wife took over 30 years ago...still doesn't mean robots are better teachers because they're not unless you want to copy shit from innovative minds endlessly and never have an original idea.

    it will be because they spend money on education over entertainment....work ethic...this is what is lacking here..we have plenty of creative thinkers and inventors.
