dogsoldier: Like everything Chinese, it bill probably break down after a while!
Or maybe not. It's being built on a re-****ed Soviet carrier.
Good grief... china could bomb us with people if they wanted. Now they can get closer to us to do it. What also bothers me is their growing interest in partnering with Iran and Russia. Good thing Americans have a lot of guns. We may have to use them to defend our land one day.
I hope it is the same quality of other Chinese made products....poorly made, cheap, not dependable.
Re: 'cheap Chinese stuff'. I refuse to BUY anything made in China. However, I occassionally am given gifts that originate in Chinese factories. Not all Chinese products are created equally. One such example is an excellent pocket knife which was given to me by my wife for Christmas about 5 years ago. It is made in China and marketed by Benchmade (a favorite among law enforcement and military for their quality tactical folders). It is the equal of, and in many cases, superior to most American-made knives. China CAN make quality products WHEN IT SUITS THEM TO DO SO.

I hate to see so many jobs gone in our country and the trade with China continues. SAD!!!
The chinese carrier is built on the hull of the unfinished Russian carrier -- the Varyag. She's propelled by steam turbines powered by oil. With no oilers or support fleet, she's probably a test bed for larger carriers and to train pilots to land on carriers. To fully implement even one good squadron of aircraft can take seven years.
With the vast number of newly created empty cities, little used highways, Maglev trains and airports, combined with the hundreds of riots and insurrections, and a decreasing number of skilled workers, the carrier fleet may find itself in the same situation as the French navy during the days of the Paris Commune civil war.
Hope that's the result!
Don't worry, our government will send our experts to China so that they can become more proficient on the high seas. With monetary and expertise assistance,they should be world class in a few years.

You took the words right out of my mouth.
Time to start teaching your kids to say "Do you want fries with that?" in Mandarin.

Sounds about right to me.

I have higher aspirations for my children.
we made it possible for them to build an Aircraft Carrier, Ya'll will see the day that they will Sail around in U.S. waters and flaunt their power, but we just like those little old Chinese Trinkets, anyhow they are cheaper than our Products.
maybe by that time we will have a President that will have a set of B***s and not specialize in running around looking Presidential, If he is Elected again then the chinese can do what they want. no problem.

not if Obama gets a second Term, the first thing he will go after in a second term is your Guns and then we can join the rest of the world in throwing Rocks
Marines and Army were polled if they would take weapons from US citizens. Overwhelmingly, the majority stated they would do their constitutional duty and defend the citizens against taking of weapons. Don't ever try to use the military for that. Only the Navy came down divided half and half. Air Force would just stay at their stations to guard the nation.
I was Born just about the right time, you see I don't have to worry too much I lived in the good Times when this was a Christian Nation, when people believed in God and he took care of us, I figure 5 Years or less left, the only thing that worrys me, I have Children and Grandchildren but there is nothing I can do about them.
But as dogsoldier says, "be afraid, be very afraid."
prince albert: Well if we are going to go let's go down fighting!

Not only are you delusional about the "good Times", you are delusional about today, also. Everything in your post is incorrect. Which part, you might ask? All of it. I feel sorry for you, really. You might start by making sure that your children and grandchildren get educated and don't end up as ignorant as you are. Then, they might have a chance. You could pray for them, but that wouldn't be very useful. You see, God doesn't like stupid people. That's why he doesn't "take care" of you any more. He likes smart people. Your children and grandchildren would have a much better chance if they get as far away from you as possible. You are, obviously, not a very good influence.
Hey, jimbo! The Chinese are needing an achor for their new carrier. Are you available?

Jimi did you miss your lithium this morning?
jimbo's behavior is nothing that a little 'keel-hauling' couldn't rectify........
The Chinese are invading and spying on the entire US by use of Chinese buffets and iPods. Your iPod knows everything you know. iPods can act as bugging devices anytime they are turned on. The adoption of Chinese food will also help with the acclimatization to the Chinese culture after the war.
Oh BROTHER.

Jim Hendrix you Must be as Whiz to live by, thank God I don't know you, I have read a few of your Posts and always came away with the feeling that if there is such a thing as a Blithering iDIOT then this is one of them, first off you know nothing about me but I am Delusional, and I wasn't fit to raise Children yet I have Four and I think that they are doing good, you see both boys went to Trade School and one made $94,000 last year and the other one is a Plant Superintendant and made $80,000 one Girl went to UAB and made a Physical Therapist, and one didn't wan't to go to School and she is a Manager at Mc Donalds. so I am sure everyone will agree that I am a failure at raising Kids.
There is bound to be something wrong with a Person that comes down on everybody like he hates them and never even met them, by the way I used to work for Riverbend and I am sure that they have somebody there that could do you a world of good..
and Yes I lived in the Good times or at least it was for Me, I was a Teenager in the 1950's and had a Car and a Girlfriend, You ever had a Girlfriend Jimi Hendrix or you one of them Funny People?
you see how Uneducated I am? and please don't feel sorry for me Jimi Hendrix as long as I can stay away from a Child of the Devil like you I am alright.
Gosh, can't we all just get along? Why not just agree to disagree? We are supposed to be building up, not tearing down right? Is'nt life hard enough?

Thank you for proving beyond all reasonable doubt that you are uneducated. I have no further need to comment on your sad post.

Life is a lot harder for the terminally stupid.

As jimbo so aptly proves whenever he posts.
What's with the AOLoser "every other Word written in Caps" stuff?
I thought only sixteen year old girls did that.
By the way...You broke your own rules several times in the post regarding your accomplishments and your kids. Not every noun was capitalized.
Like your religious belief, I would suggest that if you're going to buy the idea, buy the WHOLE idea. It makes you appear more credible.

R/P, What difference does it make if comment is half caps or not? I thought only E/M and berturn had the right to edit english here? We know you are from the north and feel superior to us hillbillies but if I feel Lke hitting cap button or do it by error; it is no big thing. Go back and look at some of your own posts and pick out the english or grammer errors you made. All cannot be perfect!
I will say a big Amen to that
Wow, Christians have a real tendency to become hysterical over every little thing. Is this the beginning of the end, fellas?
Don't get too scared, there are still a good number of clear thinking non-believers to steer the ship of state while you cower in fear down below.
A Chinese carrier is not a threat to the USA. Its in the same vein as the WMDs that Soddam had, which consisted of 500kg of mustard gas in artillery shells so old they were incapable of use.
The threat to the USA is the Chinese carrier killer ballistic missile, specifically, who they are going to sell them too, and how much have the Russians helped with the radar and guidance???
Just go ahead and trade them Taiwan for the carrier and be done with it. It'll save time, lives and money.

Just keep waving your flag and fighting for the "lost cause" with that feeble brain of yours. It keeps you off the streets and amuses the rest of us. Your are a true redneck's redneck. Don't ever change.
