- Airforcefalco, on 07/17/2008, -8/+393The bag was made in China not the lapel pin. The lapel pin was made in Taiwan.
- Shoebox639, on 07/17/2008, -10/+277Patriotism is:
1) Laying your life down to protect your country.
2) Saving the bacon grease from your pans so it can be donated to the war effort.
3) Running into a burning skyscraper moments before it collapses to save more people.
Patriotism is not:
1) Wearing a lapel pin.
2) Displaying flags everywhere.
3) Questioning another's patriotism when he or she disagrees. - borez, on 07/17/2008, -4/+204Available at Walmart
- BohicaTwentyTwo, on 07/17/2008, -18/+167I blame Obama for decreasing the demand for American Made flag pins and driving the flag pin industry offshore.
- austang, on 07/17/2008, -22/+159That's the future of the United States at the rate we are going. China has already bought up a ton of our stock exchange along with land in the mid west states.
And if Japan hadn't beat them to it, Hawaii would be speaking Chinese by now. - DiscoLando, on 07/17/2008, -4/+120That picture is a testament to the fact that capitalism knows no political or geographic bounds.

¨I can´t wait till it says this¨

- algaeturd, on 07/17/2008, -14/+70I like the way that the cellophane bag has completely surrounded and 'captures' the flag.
Very symbolic. They'll probably start to print American money over there and mint the coins in China. You know, since they're as useless as all those other little chinese gadgets and junk sold at Wal Mart. - floridiot2, on 07/17/2008, -18/+70Are you really though? Are you proud of your government? Are you proud of the liberties that are disappearing in the name of safety, in the name of terrorism? Are you proud to be associated with millions of other Americans that are so ignorant to believe that a presidential candidate isn't even American? This is a downright shame; digg me down but this is not the America I loved.
- DaviDaviDaviD, on 07/17/2008, -2/+47Actually the Chinese Stock Market fell 50% this year alone. Their market was not as strong as many thought it was, however I agree that China is up an coming,
- onClipEvent, on 07/17/2008, -2/+42These would be made in America if:
People were willing to pay a higher price. - cgibbo, on 07/17/2008, -20/+56I think this is an American 'frag'
- AbsurdParadox, on 07/17/2008, -23/+58These would be made in America if:
1. Immigration was much, much easier.
2. There was no minimum wage preventing low-wage immigrants from being paid at their appropriate value
3. There was much less taxation on both businesses and wage-earners
4. There was much less regulation on business in general
Those of you who will argue that "the mexicans are taking american jobs" but also argue that "everything should be made in america" are arguing contradictory points. - inactive, on 07/17/2008, -4/+39Actually the lapel was made in hong kong, the plastic baggy in china, plastic baggy gets shipped to taiwan with lapel pin inside, taiwan stamps on made in china (for free on an invasion ransom) and then it goes on the boat to vietnam where it is coated with a lead candy shell and finally exported.
- shutaro, on 07/17/2008, -0/+34They rule over it with an Iron Fist.
Seriously, though, this reminds me of back in the 1980s when all the science fiction of the day had the Japanese owning everything in the future... And what happened? - john2kx, on 07/17/2008, -2/+36Bacon grease... Really? Who does that?
- Bromskloss, on 07/17/2008, -2/+33You should wear them with the bag on.
- dondara, on 07/17/2008, -0/+31They are just people trying to get by under a corrupt and evil government ...just like us.
Power to the people indeed. - Live4Soccer, on 07/17/2008, -7/+36Soon it will be a Chinese Flag with a "Made in the United States of America" stamp on the package - at the rate our economy is going....
- justananomaly, on 07/17/2008, -3/+31We should build additional pylons.
- pjkli, on 07/17/2008, -3/+25Fat chicks need lovin' too.
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -3/+24The Repub party was out at a weekly event here last night, handing out American Flag magnets. On the magnet side? "Made in China" stickers. They were easy to peel off, so my first question was "why didn't you take off the made in China sticker before handing these out?
"Uh, I dunno". - pmpsta, on 07/17/2008, -6/+27They just print that on the bag so we don't forget who owns us.
- zaklampert, on 07/17/2008, -8/+29oh THATS why barack "refused" to wear one.
- ChiffX, on 07/17/2008, -1/+20^ you've just increased the demand for bacon grease substantially by promoting it as lube on digg.
- Hetman, on 07/17/2008, -1/+20You have a huge misconception about what China produces. Yea they do produce a lot of cheap items that make there way to Wal Mart. But they also produce very many items that go into all products. Even if a company says this product was made somewhere besides China. They probably used some Chinese parts in it.
- Urigeller, on 07/17/2008, -1/+19"Running into a burning skyscraper moments before it collapses to save more people."
ehm, that's called selfless heroism, not patriotism.. - Shoebox639, on 07/17/2008, -0/+17I see your point. I was rushed in making that comment and those 3 were the first to pop into my head. However, I never said that each list was exhaustive. They were merely examples. And also, this in no way diminishes my point of what patriotism is not. I graceful accept your criticism.
- fpaudon, on 07/17/2008, -1/+17Since you're doing math already, why don't you calculate the chance of you getting laid by an Asian in Hawaii as well?
- nickvdk, on 07/17/2008, -1/+17As a person who has traveled to China over 25 times in the past 5 years, I have seen first hand a accelerated growth of the Chinese economy.
There is no doubt that China has one of the fastest growth rates in the world, but the government loves to BS their statistics a lot. E.g. if growth is 8% pa, many independent economists places it at 6%.
Same with stock markets. Many Chinese accountants love to fudge their books to look good to investors. I have no doubt there will be many accounting scandals in the scale of Enron that have yet to be uncovered in the Chinese stock market.
Guys, don't believe all the doom and gloom stories saying we will be at war with China in the future. China truely wants to integrate into the world economy. All their posturing in world politics is just for their own self esteem. - badjoke, on 07/17/2008, -2/+18Hello.
http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/1392/madeinusac ... - mk3k, on 07/17/2008, -0/+15Shutaro - exactly, mid to late 80's were all the same talk of Japan buying all of our land and basically destroying us from within. Didn't happen. Every time I hear this China stuff I think the same thing.
- Slade605, on 07/17/2008, -2/+17Nintendo became a major business?
- CrushThemTorg, on 07/17/2008, -1/+16UAS! UAS! UAS!
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -2/+17I read that the plus-sized-coffin manufacturing sector is booming.
- FranzySF, on 07/17/2008, -0/+13Mexico is in America.
- GeauxLSU, on 07/17/2008, -16/+29Thank you Bill Clinton
October 10, 2000
President Clinton closed years of political and economic debate Tuesday, and sealed a major achievement of his administration by signing a bill extending permanent, normal trade status to China.
"Today we take a major step toward China's entry into the World Trade Organization and a major step toward answering some of the central challenges of this new century,"
http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1 ...
Instead we have a growing trade deficit (lowering the dollar), loss of manufacturing jobs, rising Chinese demand for oil (raising the price)...In exchange we get cheap lead tainted junk! - SkippyDoorknob, on 07/17/2008, -0/+13Who made the ink that the Made in China label was stamped in?
- jspegele, on 07/17/2008, -3/+16You think the package surrounding the pin is symbolic of China capturing US? Silly me, I thought it was so the pin didn't fall out. You would like the way my coffee cup surrounds my coffee. It is symbolic of how I don't want the ***** coffee to spill all over my desk.
- jave8u, on 07/17/2008, -1/+14Hahah-- wait did you say reddit?

Books - AbsurdParadox, on 07/17/2008, -1/+13I would assume that the anti-consumerists and nationalists out there would see it as a negative statement.
- Acglaphotis, on 07/17/2008, -1/+12What's negative about it?
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -0/+11It always has been. But it wasn't always this cheap.
