"I have found" it is simply a waste of my time to try to find
profitable common ground. They are concerned with one thing, and one
thing only, and that is how cheap can they get it -- and they seldom
have a clue as to what "it" is -- but, contrary to their
lip-service, it certainly isn't quality.

Whoa! "They" "they" "they"... Tedd, there are stupid, venal people
everywhere in the world, and smart and honorable ones
besides. Speaking from personal experience I know that there are
cultural divides so wide that what's honorable on one side appears
dishonorable from the other; truth appears as lies; respect appears
as disrespect; discretion as conspiracy; elegance as boorishness. To
judge individuals despite these fundamental differences and then to
paint an entire nation of people based on one's experiences with a
few seems lacking in sense, respect, rationality, and honor (speaking
from this side of your and my cultural divide!). You're free to form
your own prejudices based on your experiences, of course, but I'm
astonished that you would voice them publicly. I'm embarrassed by
your comments.
