Please , let me ask you about serfdom and your history. This sounds pretty close to a slave to me.

A serf could not leave the land without the landlords permission, nor could he marry off his daughters unless the lord allowed it. Perhaps worst of all, serfs could not petition the courts for relief from abuse they might receive from their lord. Serfs had to give a large chunk of their crop to the overlord, contribute free labor and pay fees for a long list of items.

America started the slave trade, wtf??? Slave trading existed long before America existed, maybe even before recorded history. Egyptians sold Nubian slaves, Romans sold slaves of all sorts, and just about any other empire in history has enslaved and sold slaves.

And serfdom, indentured servants and slavery are all quite different, get your facts straight. They are all hardships, but are different.

lol i think your figuers are wrong, i some how doubt england had 50 million ppl in 1381 seeing as we only have 64 million in our country now. If england had 50 million back then i can tell you that we would have conquered even more of the world.

Here is a question for you.  We both know where Honda and Toyota started, but if they buid cars in the US with a parts content of 75% US parts or better... Doesn't that technically make it a American car?
Nope. Sorry man, you worked for 14 years making Japanese cars. It doesn't matter if the raw materials are 100% American, you are assembling a Japanese car. In another words, the Japanes are selling back to you your own parts, assembled in a car, with a hefty profit. But hey, thats globalization for ya!

The majority of these cars are designed by engineers for American Honda Motors in Torrence California...At this point the only thing on the car still designed in Japan is the Logo...

That shows the Japs are smart, they use their cash to buy the best engineers America has to design cars for them, at their american subsidiary. But in the end, its a Japanese car designed by Americans. And they sure do a great job, I won't trade my Civic nothing except a newer one. And mine was imported from the US.

Im not talking about sales, im talking about GOOD cars. A cheaper car will always have more sales than an expensive one, however that doesnt make it a better car. Thats like saying a Beatle is better than a DB9, which it clearly isn't.

Hondas are amazing cars. Perhaps the best on the market. Only competition in quality I can think of would be toyota.

I understand that Honda has an american Branch, but they are still owned ultimately by Honda Motors and they are a Japenese make.

But by the same token, they weren't property.  Their lords had a responsibility to protect them from harm, and provide them with necessities they could not obtain doing their duties (for example, in Russia the lords were responsible for supplying firewood).

I'm not saying that his statements were accurate in spirit, but your comparison is foolish.

I think you just reinforced my statement... The very definition of a good quality car is a testament to how long it lasts, i.e. how many miles, fewest repairs, etc.etc.  A Beatle is MUCH better than a DB9 when it comes to that...

That depends.  A good racing car can die quick, because the company can afford to trade longevity for performance.

Yes however that isnt performance, which is how a car is measured. Lets put it this way. You have 100,000 pounds and you can buy a car, the choice is the Beatle or a DB9. If you say you would buy the beatle you must be a fool.
