    Just posting a news article...Then is the National Post racist? They are the one publishing the article... They are the ones reporting the news story...

    Instead of attacking the messenger why not discuss the topic in a civil manner...

    Whether or not the seat manufacturer is Japanese, American, Canadian, Korean or Maritian is a moot point... The problem and concern is the falsifying of safety data to push a product...

    Besides I thought Trevor wasn't going to tolerate personal attacks against posters in an attempt to make this a more friendly forum...??

    I also posted a link about an amazing 12 year old artist who says she is getting her motivation from God? Then by your logic, am I trying to push religion? I think not..

    It just annoys me to no end how easily people toss around labels like racist or bigot..

    By the same token, if you bash Obama are you then a bigot? If you bash Palin are you a sexist? Perhaps it's their policies you have issue with and not their race, sex or ethnicity... But on this forum it's much easier to shout someone down instead of discussing the issue at hand... :roll:

    I frequent many forums and this is the only one that tolerates this type of behaviour...

    Sorry if I offend some of you. I don't do it intentionally. I would rather be completely honest & sincere with you on the hot topics of the day and express my opinion on the matter at hand not engaging in silly personal attacks...

    Looks like it was a whistle blower who allerted the authorities...


    After a company employee blew the whistle, the president of Koito Industries Limited this week formally apologised at a press conference in Japan.

    He said the company and the management were responsible for the falsification of fire resistance data for tens of thousands of plane seats.
