So will you be selling any models? Or do you have a link for many others here that may want to get them off of your hands. This isn't for my sake but for them. I am selling some of mine but not for a political jesture.

I sleep well most nights! Most of the time it isn't from this hobby. Work is enough! Have a good day, eh.

Yah, maybe you should sell your models and donate the proceeds to some Tibetan charity!

I think I'm going to stop buying US-liveried hunks of zinc
because of our atrocious record of foreign intervention
in more than 70+ countries since the end of WWII.

Not.

I know Warf locked the other thread, but I have to say
something here.

If you want to make a statement, buy a locally-produced
option when one exists.

Your karma will not improve if you choose not to buy Chinese-
produced hunks of zinc.

The only way to improve your karma is to forego personal
posessions altogether and live off the land. Good luck with that!

Yah really. I mean if you're going to give up buying models because they're made in China then you need to give up on buying everything that's made in China and sell that which you already own. Of course in the end you'll be left with nothing. Even things made outside of China are likely made with components that were. Are you ready to give up the computer you post all these messages with?

You'll have to go the way of the Amish.

I guess Canamwing had to know this was coming. I respect someone who makes a stand for his principles, but this is not the place for that kind of stand...You can't politicize a hobby. Go to the Chinese embassy and picket them if you need to make a statement.
