something like 50% of all Canadian grown potatos are shipped to the US.
I'm just sayin.

I will say that while I am not quite as anti-Japanese as you are, I am finding it more difficult to see their point of view. The problem the Japanese have, and this is historically and goes way beyond cars, they think they are superior to the entire world. Its in their psyche. Its like in that Tom Clancy book, the Japanese were offended when the US started to inspect every japanese car because they said their cars were built to much higher standards than American cars so they didn't need to be inspected the way American cars did. Its like that with everything the Japanese do. Its born in them... kind of a moral superiority that not matter what happens, they can't see past it. That was their downfall during the war and it will be their downfall again.

That said, if I am going to argue with friends, its going to be about something more important that the Japs.
