Most domestic content question

"My mother was Dutch."
Sheriff Bart (Cleavon Little), Blazing Saddles, 1974



Well, I originated here.

In the context under discussion that would require you to substantiate being a mutant or somehow being different enough to qualify as a different species from the rest of us. I doubt this is the case. I was born in the US also, BUT as you, of a species that did not originate here.

The most recent DNA testing makes a strong case for a single migration from Siberia seeding the western hemisphere with its original population of humans which spread southward principally along the west coast of the Americas. Results still being analyzed but to be published soon will cover North America in much greater detail and possibly detail the genetic contributions from other sources. This covers the original population of the western hemisphere not including contributions from Vikings, Iberians, et al who predated Columbus.

My best guess is that your ancestors first set foot in the western hemisphere subsequent to Columbus as most of mine did although a few may have met the boat.

In this context neither of us is fully domestic, even if you do windows.

Websters definition of "Paranoid": 1: resembling paranoia 2: characterized by suspiciousness and distrustfullness..........

I know in this case that "paranoid" is the word being used by me to describe one who is overly suspicious of my thread asking what tractors are the most domestic. Overy suspicious or distrustfull that I might be up to something else.

In this thread, one distrustfull of my motives or actions, like when one can't provide a simple answer to a simple question without being distrustfull or suspicious of an ulterior motive. Looking for the shooter in the grassy knoll in my thread kinda thing.

Okay big boy? Or will you beat me over the head with the perverbial purse some more? I'm just as edjumicated as you ya know

I say if you're a doctor, prescribe your own meds.


Conspiracy theories.....tsk tsk.......more liberalism run amok.

Um, well, ah, I don't know what to say Builder..... but by all accounts, those last two sentences make somebody sound paranoid. We'll leave it up to our readers to determine who.

Seriously, I don't know where the 'suspicious' and distrustful theme is even coming from. Its never been a matter of trust or suspicion. In fact it couldn't be. I have no reason to trust anyone I don't know and I'd have to care to be suspicious. So that pretty much counts me out. Sorry.

I'm just as edjumicated as you ya know

You could easily be far more educated than me. Being a doctor does not make one smart. My wife says I'm living proof.

I say if you're a doctor, prescribe your own meds.

Oh, I don't have to prescribe them. I have what they call a sample closet. I keep the pills in a big glass bowl and eat them like M&Ms.

Conspiracy theories.....tsk tsk.......more liberalism run amok.

Yep, that's me. Liberal kook fringe. Just ask anybody. And if you didn't pick up on the sarcasm, here's a hint, there is only one way to know the phrase 'liberal kook fringe'....

Seriously Builder, if at this point in this thread you aren't laughing when you read my posts then something is wrong. I'm laughing at yours and everything is okay. The proverbial 'simple question' has been fleshed out in oh so many ways both on and off target. Its all in fun now.

Pat, you're just ruining this thread! But since it has been ruined in so many ways, let me tell you why you are wrong.

First, none of my constituent components came from anywhere but here. The raw materials, to which I will some day return, (including my DNA) were made of elements and molecules that came from right here in the good old USA. We're made of nothing but dirt and water. Where the blue print comes from is irrelevant. Although, I will admit that my 'manufacturer' is not a resident of the USA.... nor even the planet.

When I said it was not available, I assumed everyone would know the manufacturers have this information.

Ah yes, Kelly LeBrock , used to be married to Steven Seagal.

Yep! So far, I can say for sure, based on replies, at least THREE of us realize that each manufacturer knows where they get their parts. And I'd say a few manufacturers know all about where their competitors get their parts. There MAY even be one or two that have it all "in black and white". But it's pure speculation on our part and very secretive on their part if that is in fact the case. In any event, NONE of them are about to make it public knowledge any time soon.

And the thread was headed down the toilet until Kelly LeBrock's name popped up !!!!

About time for a padlock........

Yep, that's me. Liberal kook fringe.

I knew that's what you were all about! Admitting your faults is the first step to recovery. Rush always described the liberal kook fringe as the paranoid, conspiracy theory group.

Big global warming guy too, huh?

Man this is getting EXCITING !!! I have never been involved in a padlock thread

I just now realized I mentioned Kelly LeBrock and padlock in the same post

You betcha! It was 80 degrees here today. I'm pretty well known here at TBN as that "Crazy Global Warming Guy". You must have missed me in that thread! (speaking of padlocked!)

I'll see if I can find that picture of me with my new North Korean hybrid moped. Zero % domestic and 723 mpg (city, no pedaling!).

P.S.: I hope this thread doesn't get locked. Its obviously gotten silly, but hunterrdigefarm did give us some serious information to think about so it isn't totally useless and I hope everyone is laughing at this point even if they aren't getting useful info.

Sorry, but all our ancestors were from foreign locations hence we are all of foreign design however long on this continent. No human life originated here so we are all either direct imports or derived from earlier imports. That suggests that there is zero domestic content in the operators. If that is not acceptable then someone would have to make a determination at what generation imports are suddenly domestic or is it a continuum?

Pat

OK, let's really warp this thread. If all americans are "imports", then we have to ask the question are americans aliens to mexico or are mexicans aliens (some illegal) to america, after all we moved the border after they were already here!
