HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?

What Hegel does is what most companies do: keep your headquarters in your native country and build, pollute, and use slave labor elsewhere (if that is, indeed, what they're doing). Make alliances with any third world crony criminal leaders that you can to get the biggest profits possible and wrap your product in the flag of your choice.

That's why Nike Air Jordans are made by the Khmer Rouge (arguably one of the worst regimes ever).

Country of origin only matters to the dancing on the head of the pin in this thread. All the laughing and spending is being done elsewhere.

All the best,

"As I consider the points raised in this thread, I can't help but think of the work of the French sociologist, Emile Durkheim."

I'm not saying this to be mean, but I think he was a fraud. Using his theories, you can pretty much make up whatever you want. Start with the solution you desire, then reverse engineer the "facts" to prove your solution. His hypothetico deductive model has more than a few holes in it. Just the name sounds like a practical joke.

Knghifi,

Are you saying there is nothing between capitalism and the nanny state? I can think of a lot of countries that combine both and do so successfully -- and that include hope, growth, innovation, and much more.

But since a lot of the review industry is corrupt I believe we should read any "rave" advisedly.

Like I said in another post, this is a problem with uneducated consumers and not capitalism.

You can't help if someone based their purchase decision on ONE rave review and purchase remorse if they don't like the product. Nobody wants to take responsibility for their actions but always blame someone else.

Personally I want different point of views and the freedom to choose ones that fits my needs.

and the problem is ...

Of course people with more resources have more flexibility and options. Their wealth grows expondentially and it's true, rich gets richer.

With education and hard work, capitalism offers the best opportunities to improve ones social status. The alternative is a nanny state where everybody loses with no hope. No growth, no innovations and permanent high unemployment and recession.

If money is important to you, stop feeling sorry for yourself and take action. If you can't make in the good old USA, you can't make it anywhere. There are reasons people are risking their lives trying to enter US.

Knghifi,

Did I mention that there is a problem? Did I say money is too important?What makes you think I'm feeling sorry for myself. All I'm saying is that's the reality of life. So stop assuming you know it all.

Although I agree with you on the capitalism offers more opportunity but truthfully not through hard work and education alone will get you there. You need a solid connection. That's where the rich gets richer comes in.

You go attacking people who you disagree on here just because you can't accept the fact that your proudly own Hegel isn't a 100% great company after all. All those mention there is always two sides of the story, no company is 100% in customer service yet you believe Hegel is blah blah...please stop.

Either you're in denial or refuse to understand it just because your Hegel is staring back at you in your room.
