Would you buy items made in korea at this current time?


Recommended Posts

If North Diarrhea made life sized midget Kim Jong un dolls, I'd buy a few for the shooting range.

I would use them for emergency ass wipe, a bullet is too good for them.biggrin.png

I'd be worried about my asshole getting torn apart by the sharp edges on the zipperhead from wiping.

I think you'd better bury this thread

Explain please.

 

hey I would think it would be a little bit embarrassing to lead on that you're not aware of the differences between north/south korea but go right ahead

Well unfortunately I know very little about either. Toss up some educating info if you have some to share that would make me lower my face in shame.

 

sorry I didn't mean to sound like a dick. originally I thought it would get a laugh.

sure I will, the wonderful thing about the internet is that anybody that has access to it can find just about anything on it. that includes the history of the Korean war, post Korean war, etc... .now, before the advent of the internet, most households, but not all, had a set of encyclopedias or family members had to go to the local library and look things up........you have more access to the world of knowledge right at your key board, then anybody in the history of mankind has ever had. wouldn't it be a good idea to use it to educate yourself on things you don't know, rather then just using the internet for gun boards and porn?

I've got 2 SK manufactured 75rd AK drums... Paid $69 for the first and $79 for the second...

 

I buy them all day long @ $79 a crack in this market...

 

SK is our ally... I would feel no more guilt buying from them than I would buying Canajun....

I suspect if you don't know the differences between North and South Korea there is probably very little that could make you lower your face in shame....rolleyes.gif

There is porn on the Internet? Awesome! I should be be able to pick up some SUPER cheap used VHS tapes now!

 

(I'll pay a little more if you rewind them before shipping. ;) )

 

(I pay less for "water" damaged covers.)

 

There is nothing inherently wrong with WHERE a product is made. It's the quality that counts.

 

Damn! I just checked the link. $99 is a steal. I might buy one and then go get the Glock!

NK = under extreme embargo by the US.

The question isn't as stupid as it sounds - there are plenty of things manufactured in nominally South Korean factories that are manned largely by North Korean workers in an industrial cooperative zone - I doubt anything weapon-related is made there, but can't say for certain.

Not sure if this is an April fools joke or not.....

 

There was a Korean war that devided Korea

Ok SK is a democratic state. NK is a communist state. 2 different leaders, 2 different economies. The only thing they share is the same language, group of people and peninsula

 

SK Imports- Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, conglomerate partner in GM, steel, small electronic components, Glock, AK and other mags. There is alos a US-SK free trade agreement

 

NK imports- 0

If there's anything I can purchase in the US rather than a foreign nation, I will buy US. Period.

It disgusts me that the best hope we have are fools that don't know that our federal government is SUPPOSED to be financed exclusively by import tarrifs.
This so called "free trade" bullshit is only a "free-for-all" buffet on OUR market.
Any second rate drug dealer knows that a market holds more value than a product, because if one has no market, they can only use so many of X product.

So my answer is hell-no.
I'll put Russian furniture on my S-12, because it works, but I WILL NOT CONTRIBUTE to those selling my brother's jobs and futures out.
And that's exactly what they're doing regardless of how they attempt to justify farming out production to foreign lands, much less building factories in foreign lands.
Fuck them, as far as I'm concerned.

Our miniscule export to import ratio is breaking the back of our own dollar.
Asian steel is absolute shit regardless of what a company's engineers demand, and any boilermaker or anyone who's ever used a phillips head screwdriver from Harbor Freight knows this.
Fuck that. Our dollar's dropping in part because our own sold us out, and we're ending up paying the same fees for cheaply made shit than we used to pay for quality goods.
So no. I wouldn't buy shit from Korea. North or south.
The easiest way to tell a mechanically clueless excuse for a guy, is if he's driving a Hyundai.
Sorry if anybody reading this bought a Hyundai and takes offence at that statement, but the truth's the truth. :up:

My 2005 Hyundai Sonata was going strong at 125k, just broken in. My last Chevy was on its 3rd trans at that point. I'll buy another Korean car because they are leader of the pack on value. They still have a 20 year old rep for being faulty, and aren't popular with the hipsters, so I can get an amazing car for damn cheap.

 

Sadly, with their new Sonata and SUVs they are gaining acceptance, so they are less desperate to sell, thus less desperate to discount. Oh well, people still think Kia is a seperate company, so there may be deals there for some time.

Guy I worked with at my last job was battling Hyundai over his car. Got it from his parents at 59k, by 82k it had three new transmissions and the engine had "shot a piston through a spark-plus" (yes, they actually told him this is what happened to his motor) They were trying to refuse the warranty work on the engine (100k mile warranty) stating he hadn't taken it in for service (he had every record of continued service through Hyundai dealerships only). He was pissed because the car had been in for so much warranty work, he just wanted something that worked. He was hoping they would just offer him a sale on a new car or something, but nope. My grandparents also have a Santa Fe, the back seats stopped locking in place after about 30k miles. They never even put them down, just one day during a trip just fell forwards never to lock back again. I know too many people with Hyundai horror stories. Hyundai/Kia and Ford, two companies I will not buy a car from in the future
