what's with all this class talk. I though the us was a classless society.

There is much more to politics than the republicans/democrats. I'd put them both in the right wing category anyhow.

Globalisation is about increasing corporate power over countries which I think is hard to defend as a positive thing for personal freedoms of individuals which I value much more than economics
 
won't globalization but a lot of americans out of work? a lot of companies will move their factories over seas so they can make products cheaper and make a bigger profit putting 1000's of americans and canadians out of work.
yes it does give a lot more political power and influence to the big corporations especially if the WTO has their way.
there are also a lot of nations that don't want to be westernized, namely afganistan and middle east countries. i would expect increased terrorist attacks from extremists in those countries. not to mention a lot of the countries are far from civilized, whats called "honor killing" is still allowed to take place in many countries like india and the middle east. i don't see why we should help those ppl.
then theres the enviromental effect but enviromental awareness always takes a backseat to everything else because there is no money in it.
As these corporations grow worldwide we will be ushering in a New Feudalism, where the corporate leaders sit in their castles while the peasents work the fields. not literally but its not far from the truth.
as for worldwide health and aids asistance i have no problems with that. its something that needs to be done but worldwide free trade is something all together different.

This is all very subjective.

for example I would not consider the usa civilised. One reason for this is it's continued practice of executing it's citizens, a sign of a barbarian nation in my books.

I am against the homogenisation of the world we should value our differences. There is no one right way to live.

No, this is captialism not feudalism. These new corporations will give money to the people. While Socialists lose power. Socialism is nothing but a system that drains away at the economy, by overtaxation and overexpenditure. The Middle Class in the US, which makes up 70-75% give or takes gets most money in the economy, and can afford luxuries.

I don't think so. Socialism overtaxes everyone, so no one gets what they worked for.

Globalization is highly positive as it can lift willing-countries out of the gutter. Like Mozambique... which though has one of the highest economic growth rates in the world, can be pulled faster into the new era.

Really? You know this for a fact? Of is this more of you 'supply-side' 'trickle down' crap? The fact is, they will not give money back to the people.

Your reasons for not liking socialism is baseless. We pay taxes to the Government. The Government uses those taxes to pay for government subsidies things like healthcare. We aren't getting something for nothing, and it's not a drain.

Oh sorry your honor, it is like I can't hold a different opinion. THEY WILL GIVE THE MONEY BACK TO THE PEOPLE, THE PRIVATE SECTOR IS OWNED BY THE PEOPLE.

You reasons for not liking captialism are senseless and coldhearted. We should rely on private interests rather than the state, and if we rely on state then the money will go down the drain.

---- you, Lucifer.
 
I would never do such a thng with a little twirp like you... and you probably are ugly because you never show anybody any pictures of yourself. :mad: :mad:
 
hey gc,

I thought we were friends (in that strange cyber way :rolleyes: )

I'm sorry if I annoyed you but I saw the potential for a cheap laugh and I went for it. I know it was a low and pathetic thing to do and I realise that I should have held back. but I am a weak willed individual who lives for the moment not thinking of the pain I am causing to those so dear to my heart ;)


peo. where is that heart smiley thing!! :mad:
