We make cars actually.

Besides, that's not the point and you know it. Just look it up, based on a hell of a lot of standards, the USA is barely to be called a developed country.
Ill just end this by saying you really do need to visit see for yourself meet the people talk to them i am sure the experience will enrich you in many ways.

Statistics don't lie. Tell me, when's the last time 31 students were brutally murdered in a Western European university?

I won't go any further, because quite honestly it's so damn blatant.

Both Canada and Belgium manufacture Volvo cars. There are Ford factories in Genk as well.
But we buy our electronic chips from Taiwan cause it's cheaper. We could produce them, but we don't. On the same logic lots of countries don't bother making cars. Should be blindingly obvious in any case.

The rhetoric and foreing policy of your president has a lot to do with angst. So does owning guns and so does what happened today. I won't even start on how fear is being spread among Americans every day (terrorists can attack you, even if you live in alabama? come on!). The mere fact it happens regularly in the US and people don't start asking questions is odd, very odd. And to think that Michael Moore debated the issue in such grand propaganda-style.
have you ever even been to America?? First off most americans realize bush is an idiot and dont listen to him or really even pay attention to him. Also ive lived in america my entire life and i have never once been scared of terrorists attacking me, nor has anybody i know. I also own three guns and i shoot them at a gun range yet that doesnt make we wont to go kill anybody!!!! buying a gun isnt suddenly gonna make you want to kill somebody. Also this happened like 6 or 7 times in U.S. history i dont find that very often. And yes we do ask questions and now many schools have tight security and even my school has video cameras. Americans arent the violent and scared idiots you think we are.

Philips manufacture their chips in Eindhoven :)

Volvo manufactures in Belgium and Canada because they outsource, not because manufacturing there is cheaper.

Yet it happens in America and it doesn't in Western Europe.

And it's pretty damn hard to get a gun in Belgium. Hmmmmm....
You know what? We don't need video cameras, because we're not scared.

Yeah, but Dell, HP, IBM etc don't manufacture chips for their laptops, mp3 players or what have you, do they? Philips probably don't either, on a mass scale.

And what other reason do you have for outsourcing than cutting the price? They're synonyms.

Outsourcing is minimizing your own expenses, it doesn't take place just to search for a cheaper place to manufacture.

The thing is, in a lot of ways I think the USA don't adress their problems. I don't know what the current situation is, but I know for a fact that it wasn't possible to make a living of being a waitress in the USA a couple of years ago. Claiming the USA is a developed country, come Belgium or France, is debatable at best.
The u.s. is all about adressing and complaining about problems thanks to hippies and people like you, you have to hate and find a problem with everything about the U.S. its ridicoulous. Waiters and waitresses make alot of money off of tips. What the hell are you talking about on your last comment???? How is america not developed???

People below poverty in America in 2004: 12.7%
People below poverty in Belgium in 2004: 7%

That's just a first difference between the two.

I want to go deeper into this and show you some statistics, but I'd have to search for them and quite honestly I'm not willing to do so.

Hmmmmm and that means how that your countrys more developed than mine???
and anyway lets think almost 21% of people in the u.s. are immigrants and i bet most of your poor citizens would be immigrants. Your argument is retarted and you can in no way say the usa is not a developed country!!1 If your countrys more developed than mine how about we fight the belgian army agaisnt the U.S. army (even without nuclear weapons) and we'll see who wins. Good luck:rofl:
