i have been hearing about this thing called, ban products from America because of their support of Israel and whatnot, and i support this decision 100% because not only it slows down the economical growth of that country but also can boost the country's economical status because of us buying local products and such. But the question is, to what extent? Shit, u cant even last a few minutes without an ipod which is a product from apple, an American company, and some might say, oh, i can buy some cheap mp3 player from China. Fuck u, how long can that thing last? about a few years? damn, that thing cant even last a few months with a shitty capacity compared to an ipod which is like the "it" thing with consumers here in Malaysia, almost every teenager has it and those who dont would be eager to buy it sometime in the future or are dreaming to have it.
And some of the best computer companies are from this devil infested nation of sorts such as Hewlett Packard, Dell and others. So, again u might say, oh, i will buy a Toshiba, Sony or whatever company that produces computers from Japan, i have a question, when u switch on that computer, what comes up? Oh look, its WIndows, doesnt matter whether its a Windows XP or Vista or whatever the version is, that is a product of Microsoft, which is a company from America, the country that we are sort of trying to "ban".
There are lots of other things that Malaysians use that are from America or Europe because the companies from these countries are dominating not only in technology, but pretty much everything else, and the mentality of simple minded Malaysians thinking, oh, local products, we are too "high class" for these sorts of merchandise or the simple, local products are shit...
and i too am guilty because writing this entry on a Macbook, a product of Apple inc. USA...
Till next time
