    Yes.
    It is a very well written article with solid facts and conclusions.

    Rare to see this level of journalism these days. Thanks for sharing.

    Wow. I didn't even finish reading the article. To say that they are not Christians (the owners, not the business) and that they don't run their business based on Christian principles because they sell stuff made in China is really grasping at straws.

    First, the article assumes that all Christians interpret the bible exactly the same. This is blatantly false. If it was true, there would only be one Christian religion.

    Second, the article assumes that by selling something from a country that has different standards, they are going against Christian principles. The article has no idea what the owners or the company does with its money to work to change that country or its standards. It also assumes that by merely selling something from that country, you are automatically supporting everything that its political leaders support. If that were the case, buying something from any entity that doesn't share the exact same ideals would constitute supporting the sins of that entity.

    It's unlike you to not read the article and form an opinion without reading the full writing.

    Go back. Read it. It doesn't say what you think it does.

    The author seems to be confusing "purchasing products made in china by chinese laborers" with "donating money directly to the chinese government to promote abortion."

    I never said there weren't holes in it.
    But I stand by my assessment that it's very well written.

    Thanks but no thanks.

    RC Willy was definitely a company owned by Mormons and run according to Mormon standards but I'm sure that they also sold stuff made in China. So I really don't care about the author's opinion or interpretation of the bible.

    The grammatical accuracy seems to exceed the level of most stories picked up by the AP. [:)]

    China - a country which is one of 'the worst offenders against human dignity, unborn infant life, and economic justice'.

    Well then, 'buy American'. The land where people are classified as potential terrorists for simply being a Veteran, abortions stores are available on every corner, and the entire Federal income tax goes to pay interest extortion to private 'Federal Reserve' bankers.

    As usual, the Massengills will eventually show their true colors and I will find them out..... Later for now. I'm sure your stench will show up again at some time or another.
