Really, what do you give weight to more, an opinion or whether that opinion has a reasonable amount of validity?

That's funny, you say I am too staunch and Tenchu says I have lost my punch.
I really don't think I have been unreasonable in my arguments. There were some misunderstandings about what I was trying to communicate, but I think (hope) those are all cleared up. I have no ill feelings toward Chinese people. As a consumer in a country which has moved almost all production to China, I am frutrated by my goverment's inability to protect me from sub-standard products over and over again. I will be honest in saying I have as much faith in the Chinese government to clean up thier act as I do in the American government. Yes, I know some people are trying. It's the same in the US. Change is slow.
But you guys have been to China and know more about it than me. Believe it or not, I do not reject any of your guys' arguments. I read each one carefully. When I am called things unfairly, then I will defend myself with vigor, but that isn't unlike anyone else.
