GM going down in the US - moving to Asian markets
-
If you believe that you are totally delusional. GM is having problems because they aren't creating cars people want to buy with sufficient profit margin to actually make money. In short, their management sucks, they have no vision, and the unions are killing them with expenses. In truth, had they actually gone into porn, they'd probably be making money instead of losing it like crazy.

Hmmmm, that how it will look. Let me give you a hint, keep an eye on Sony - no doubt they have very good management. Best regards, Paul.
Jesus Christ is LOVE! Please tell somebody.

This statement is incoherent. I really have no idea what you are trying to say. For the record SONY's management is pretty bad. They have made blunder after blunder over the last few years including the latest debacle with batteries. Indications are that Playstation 3 is going to bomb. Whether Blu-Ray becomes anything but an expensive exercise in corporate hubris remains to be seen. SONY used to be the most respected company in consumer electronics in terms of quality. People would pay extra for their products. That is no longer true in most areas. (Even their professional electronics products have slipped.) -- addition at 21:58 Tuesday 29th August, 2006 I think SONY has a better chance to recover than GM. First, they're actually making money. Second, most their problems are related to quality control which can be fixed. The battery recall may provide an impetus for this.

So far the only reported case is the battery, that is why I ask that you keep your eye there as the story unfolds. Interesting you are already trying hard to find a reason - it is simply, they are kicking a rock! :^) Best regards, Paul.

No. They had a snafu with an illegal protection scheme. They are having serious QA problems with Playstation 3. Their general consumer product line has also had quality problems. On top of that, speaking in vageries is simply pompous.

Well, I sure hope they turn it around. I think they will. They are getting a few more winners out there with the new Pontiac Solstice and the re-introduction of a retroish Camaro. I love GM and really am hoping for them! They are a great pillar of America.

Yup, they have large numbers of followers searching for porn everywhere. When they find it, they double, triple, sometimes check many, many times then tell the world what they found and look for more. Just imagine having that job!

His icon does not have a laptop bag, mine does :-) Maybe his icon had a dell and it exploded and hence the flashing (actually the explosion flare)
