The China infant milk scandal, even though it has so far not damaged any American babies, has exposed a major defect in the concept of free trade. It's dangerous to buy products from a nation whose economy is not based on Judeo-Christian morality.

Shut up, you old bat.
Hey Phyllis,
I have a 1973 Ford Pinto for sale. 100% original, American made. Excellent condition. $50 OBO to you or any Fundamentalist Christian buyer. Comes complete with 25 year old bottle of Tylenol, never used.

While I haven't got the Bible memorized, Jesus certainly seems like a communist to me, or at least someone friendly to what communism represents "on paper".
*grins as he pictures Phyllis Schlafly having an aneurysm upon being hit with the massive irony of this realization*
Of course, Phyllis, you realize that this would limit us to trading with only 15 countries - Argentina, Bolivia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco, Slovakia, the Vatican, Greece, Cyprus, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, England, and Israel - the ones with official Judeo-Christian state religions.
Lesson - think before you stick your foot so far up your mouth that you bite yourself in the ass.
Phyllis, remember how we talked about how you needed to stop your comments one sentence earlier?
The early Christians were communists.
It's dangerous to buy products from a nation whose economy is not based on Judeo-Christian morality.
We owe $1.3 trillion just to Japan, China and the OPEC countries alone. We don't have a lot of economic bargaining power anymore.
"The China infant milk scandal, even though it has so far not damaged any American babies, has exposed a major defect in the concept of free trade" So close...
"It's dangerous to buy products from a nation whose economy is not based on Judeo-Christian morality." And yet, so far...
Perhaps it should instead serve to demonstrate what happens with little to no oversight/regulation.
Furthermore: "We do have regulations and random checks, but the majority of producers and sellers are restrained from criminality by adherence to the Judeo-Christian ethic." Or, they are restrained by -$$$ (in either fines or loss of sales). I'd love to see this woman read some Ayn Rand.
POSW: can't speak for the rest of 'em, but the state religions in Norway and Denmark haven't done much except to ensure <i>very</i> few people are christians anymore. Besides, we're obviously crazy commies the lot of us :)
Also, I'd think the only thing this whole scandal tells us is that breastfeeding is in fact a good thing. Shockingly.
"The China infant milk scandal, even though it has so far not damaged any American babies, has exposed a major defect in the concept of free trade. It's dangerous to buy products from a nation whose economy is not based on liberal consumer protection morality."
Fixed.
So, umm, where did your computer come from? Do you own a phone, television, car, camera?
Maybe some good intentions, but hopelessly confused, throwing out big words they don't understand, like 'economy', 'morality', etc. They see bad things going on in the world, they 'know' they are the 'good guys', so this kind of mindless ranting is inevitable. I give this a low fundie score because there's not a lot of true vindictiveness (and joy in others' suffering, and presumptuousness, and limited vocabulary, and lots of LOLs, etc)
>The China infant milk scandal,
Yes, go on.
>even though it has so far not damaged any American babies,
I don't know of any at least, thankfully
>has exposed a major defect in the concept of free trade.
It has?
>It's dangerous to buy products from a nation
Hmm... good point. It is dangerous to buy them for countries who don't regulate their stuff well enough.
>whose economy is not based on
Regulation, right?
>Judeo-Christian morality.
Wa Ta Fu?
The China infant milk scandal
is tragic?
even though it has so far not damaged any American babies
because American babies are the only ones who count...
has exposed a major defect in the concept of free trade
you mean like the fact that any economy needs some careful, responsible, regulation to function? welcome to reality...
It's dangerous to buy products from a nation whose economy is not based on Judeo-Christian morality.
this does not appear to be related to the first sentence, and I doubt that their lack of "judeo-christian morality" is really at the heart of the problem
Try bugging Union Carbide - an AMERICAN CHRISTIAN company that set up in India to save a few bucks, and succeeded in killing 20,000 people and permanently injuring over 1 million.
Re:The Bophal Disaster
1. The United States was not based on Judeo-Christian morality. It was based on Enlightenment Era humanism.
2. Absolutely not with the embargo on goods for countries without a significant Christian population. I grew up with Japanese games and with the embargo that means no more Nintendo or Sony systems or any Japanese games on Microsoft systems (even though the Xbox systems aren't as popular there, there are still some Japanese games on the 360 like Tales of Vesperia or Blue Dragon) or Windows (like Nihon Falcom's Ys games on Steam).
Go found your own theocracy and enforce the embargo there. Leave this country alone.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
