They found it very different. Hmm wonder where they live. My brother lives in Dageu. Im not saying there is no crime at all, just know they have a low crime rate. Link to comment

I know he put in for a transfer as soon as he could because of it, he was then transferred to Australia for a while. Link to comment

People want to talk about the American work culture, which can be greatly improved don't get me wrong, but corperate work culture in some Asian countries is almost inhumane even though these people do choose that life. It is extremely demanding. 1 Link to comment

commando Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 double secret boycotting now? http://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/the-right-declares-nike-boycott-again/ Right-wing pundits and politicians are stating their intentions to boycott Nike after the company decided to withdraw a series of sneakers that featured a Betsy Ross flag, apparently forgetting that they had already called for a boycott last year. 1 Link to comment

It's amazing how bent out of shape right-wingers get any time anyone makes even the milquetoast critique of something like the flag, a symbol. Also, isn't the point of free enterprise that Nike has the right to do whatever it wants regardless of public pressure? Ricketts continues to be an embarrassment to our state. 3 Link to comment

It used to be a standard that the flag should not be used for personal or commercial gain. I guess that isn’t the conservative view of the flag. Link to comment

I do find the continued commercialization of the military and the flag for profit pretty gross, though. Link to comment
Moiraine Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 “Trump Baby Balloon Granted Permit for July 4 event” Don’t have time to look but I hope that means what I think it means, and they mean Trump’s ego event. Now I have a reason to watch (but still won’t). Link to comment

Ok that was last years proposed military parade scheduled for Nov 10, 2018. Wasn't it canceled due to the high price tag? I wonder what the cost will be this year for his military show ont he 4th? Probably not big enough for Trump's ego. Link to comment
