Thanks for that Ciaran. You are certainly entitled to your opinions as all of us are and I think we all realize that there are global issues bigger than all of us here that are worth debating.

The issues the majority of us have been focusing on in this thread are pertinent to the United States of America, the uniforms for the Olympics being made in a country not the USA, the loss of manufactiring jobs to other countries and the impact of this loss to the economy of the USA and I do believe you are a citizen of the UK, not the USA, correct?

Globalization is a topic for all. No debate on that at all. I think we recognize that. I think we also recognize that the USA has many serious issues to deal with. Our economy is a critical one.

USA Olympic uniforms not made in the USA, yes, is a topic of concern for those of us that live here and pay taxes here. The uniforms being made in China is simply a tangible symbol to those of us that are citizens of America for the loss of jobs to other countries.

Those of us that live here are certainly entitled to to discuss the importance to our economy of the loss of manufacturing jobs to other countries.

That is correct. I am a United Kingdom citizen and very proud to be British. There are few things more important in my life than my Ulster - British heritage.

However, I didn't know that meant I couldn't comment on issues pertaining to the United States, nor that my viewpoint was necessarily inferior as a result.

That's certainly what the above implies - not sure whether I'm meant to take offence at that or not but, let's just say that I'll retain my right to post on topics that I wish to contribute to and, if you have a problem with that, solve it by putting me on ignore.
