Don't they check these toys before shipping them out?
Let it be a lesson to those two giants of manufacturing. Get them made cheaply enough and you will end up paying twice as much to get them shipped and recalled.
Saying nothing about the cost to the environment with all these unusable toys ... |

| I`m shocked. Some Fisher-Price toys from the early 70`s, my eldest`s infant favourites, are still going strong now, and enjoyed here when my daughter`s little ones visit. The fire engine, the turtle with flappy feet, and a plastic jet plane, and the `little family` peg-shaped dolls that rode them, they are much depleted but some keep turning up every time we have a move around... Their slogan in the `seventies was "toys that are made to be hand-me-downs, not has-beens" and they weren`t cheap, but they were bloody WELL worth every penny. How very sad that this had to change. |

| More toys and trinkets have been found to contain leathal levels of lead. I hope all companies that transfer ant jobs to "cheaper" countries go bust. That includes banks and insurers. It will ruin the West's economy either way. |
We're all doomed!

Miriam the American Firms want the best Deal (even if it kills people in the factorys)
so the China Factorys
cut every corner.
America will still be getting
it all made by those Evil Punks (that Own the China based Factorys).
The Americans are a Nation that will Die (they will cause it as well)
they will end up Nuked.
FACT. |

Just to get the record straight, is there anything that is wrong anywhere in the universe that the Americans are not responsible for? Or do you simply blame them for everything as a reflex action that you have no consious control over, a bit like having a bad genital itch that just will not stop.......... |

| No, people who follow a religion that glorifies in death caused it. Seeing as Britain created the USA then it means we are responsible for all the worlds problems does it? |

America is a New Nation
not that old.
It will soon be gone.
And Britain never knew they would go on to be Evil.

And then will be the dawn of a new day with peace all around and the lamb will lie with the lion. You do talk a load of tosh sometimes, well nearly all the time really. If the sun went nova the last words heard would be..."THE AMERICANS DID IT.....FACT.." |
