Our expectations have been tempered over time, that's the sad thing. Who would ever dream that GM posting a $1.2 Billion loss would beat expectations? Scary stuff.

I don’t understand why anyone would be pro Japanese and so anti American. In other nations they support their own it's sad Americans don’t do the same.

It's not about being pro-Japanese and anti-American. It's about telling the truth as it stands. Some people on these forums refuse to tell the truth. They distort the facts and figures. They spin the story and say that anyone who doesn't buy American is a liberal and hates America. That kind of statement shows the lack of education and ignorance that is growing in this country. I served honorably from 1992-2000 (with a tour in Bosnia) and of the four cars I've owned, 2 were Chevy's and two were Pontiac's and I have a bachelor's degree. But I absolutely refuse to be fed horse manure from people who when confronted with facts can only respond by saying if I don't agree with them then I must be a liberal and anti-American. That's a good argument if we were all in 2nd grade.

I agree completely with your analogy of what's going on here.
Blatant and hopelessly biased misrepresentation (often malicious innuendo bordering on libel), rude and crude insults by obviously very ignorant (or hopelessly intolerant) individuals, certainly demonstrates a trend toward deteriorating moral and ethical standards.
As you note, truth is a rare commodity in these forums.
Experience here has taught me that if one has something truthful to say, or can show a truthful and factual rebuttal to an untruth, then simply speak one's piece and then let the chips fall where they may.
I flat refuse to be drawn into any more prolonged pissing matches with those who are less than forthright in their participation here.
You might want to consider doing the same.
