I just apologised to a girl on the phone for something I did. She said I the apology's too late and she never wants to see me again.

I hadn't seen her or spoken to her in four years. To be fair I don't even remember what I did, but someone told me she's still mad.

That is more or less what I was driving at. Market forecasts were not that promising and in lieu of the housing market so unstable and people defaulting on loans with no hope of ever being able to pay them (and shame on the banks/mortgage industry for giving them out to those whom were risky) I think those in the auto industry could have done a better job for their own benefit. I understand the housing market was the catalyst in this disaster but like you said, and what I was trying to say is that not only did the auto industry not make vehicles competitive enough to the Japs but they continued to make cars that were gas guzzlers and that had nothing to do with the housing market. What I am trying to say is, amidst some pretty wild economic predictions that ultimately became reality the auto industry was not quick enough to regain their niche in the US auto industry. The smart Japs continued to make efficient yet highly reliable cars (even the Germans). Now all the people that bought homes and defaulting on their payments either had or wanted large SUVs in which gas was so astronomical at the time they were only digging their graves deeper in my opinion.

Now outsourcing that is a whole different story and can of worms. But, free market capitalism will have its winners and losers. That is the risk that you gotta take.

But what you said is that the automakers are at fault for the current disaster. That's not the truth. Even despite them making shity cars for the past 20 years or more, they had no part in this collapse except for not providing more jobs to the American people. They are part of the problem, but they did not trigger this. It's been widely accepted the car makers have been farting around for decades now.

If you want to place some blame on people for this debacle, look at the Federal Reserve, investment bankers, insurance companies, mortgage companies, and those who speculated housing prices would always rise. They are the real culprits.

And please, don't castigate the automakers for asking for a bailout when those fucking douchebag bankers were able to take trillions at the whim of hat. Lets please start blaming the right people here.

I'm not taking this out on you, but I don't think the US public has any clue what's going on here.

WTF, Ronaldo busted for pulling hair and pinching defenders? What has this sport come to...

Ronaldo wanted in court for pulling player’s hair

By TALES AZZONI, Associated Press Writer May 21, 7:02 pm EDT

SAO PAULO (AP)—Ronaldo will go on trial at a Brazilian sports tribunal for pulling the hair and pinching a defender in a Brazilian league match.

The three-time world player of the year could miss up to three matches if found guilty in next week’s trial, the sports tribunal said Thursday.

The 32-year-old Ronaldo was denounced after TV images showed him grabbing the hair and pinching defender Fahel inside the area last Sunday in Corinthians’ scoreless draw against Botafogo at Engenhao Stadium.

Ronaldo’s actions came as Fahel grabbed the striker’s jersey. The referee did not see the play and none of the players received cards. Ronaldo complained he was fouled and deserved a penalty kick.

“Without a doubt, Ronaldo is a phenomenon … ,” sports tribunal prosecutor Paulo Schmitt said. “But all players are equal to the tribunal and when they do something wrong they must be denounced.”

Fahel told local media he could testify in favor or Ronaldo if requested.

“I think he was just upset at the time,” Fahel said. “What happens on the field should stay there.”

Ronaldo returned to Brazilian football in March after more than a year sidelined because of the third serious knee injury of his career. He has scored 10 goals with four-time national champion Corinthians.

Fans having been calling for his return to the national team, but he wasn’t summoned by coach Dunga on Thursday for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers and the Confederations Cup. Ronaldo helped Brazil win the 1994 and the 2002 World Cups.
