Subaru, Toyota, Mitisubshi all used captured American POW's as
slaves, beating and killing many.

The world will never heal and bigotry will remain if we allow history
to govern our lives. History should teach, not enforce grudges built
on long dead political evils.

It is not political, it is about humanity. Out of respect for my
fellow Americans that endured the inhumane treatment, and the ones
that were murdered I will not buy Japanese products.

If Japan admits all of it's crimes and asks us for forgiveness. Then
maybe we can more forward.

But hey that will never happen, that attitude is what made them in-
humane and act the way they did to start with.



My wife's great grandfather fought against the USA. What does that
have to do with her, me or anything?

Guess that depends. Was he a person who murdered captured POW's?


Subaru is one of the finest US
companies around and treats workers far better than Ford or GM.

It's a Jap company.

They
also make better cars than the US builders can't match. If I buy an
American car all I'm doing is extending a losing proposition; the
continuing sale of inferior products in a world market. The big three
can build the best cars in the world, but they won't ever do it if
people give them any support.

Your opinion, and you have that right..as lame as it is.


I don't hold people accountable for what their anscestory was up to.

I do not either. Many on the board of directors at Subaru were WWII
vets.

If I did I probably would live in a trailer like Scotty. And a company
identity is about today and last year, not 65 years ago.

Wrong..good or bad a companies history goes to it's roots and actions
and the people who ran it.

If the US
builds a car as good as my Sedona or LGT Turbo I'll happily buy one,
even if it's a bit more expensive. I'm just waiting for that to
happen.
