<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1550512, member: 36230"][FONT=&amp]I find it rather interesting how much you have added to my original post. I never said nor implied anything about paying "full price" and only attempted to point out the fact that if there was not a certain faction in this country willing to buy such products, the problem would be nowhere near as severe. I can honestly state that I've never had a Chinese national attempt to pass off a fake, but I've had plenty of other Americans knowingly try to do so.</p><p><br /></p><p>To make a connection between what I've said regarding counterfeits and the rape of a woman is beyond reprehensible. What kind of sick and sad individual makes such a comparison? I made my feelings very clear in that there is no blame placed on an innocent buyer, but there is much to be placed on those who purchase such things to defraud the unsuspecting. I did not realize this was so hard to understand. [/FONT]</p><p><br /></p><p>[FONT=&amp]Is it safe to assume that you place all blame on Mexico or Columbia (amongst others) for the drug problems in this country? Is it really that hard to understand that if that if certain people in the US did not create a demand for such products, the suppliers would have no one to sell to? Should all US drug dealers be considered innocent because there are foreigners to point the finger at? If there is a demand, someone will supply, and as long as there are people in this country willing to pay for counterfeits, and even if China stopped producing them, someone else would. This is <b><u>NOT</u></b> to say that I am okay with it, but I do understand that there is plenty of blame to go around. What a concept![/FONT][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
