you'd never do that, you'd make too many Americans happy- and you don't like to make anybody happy.

Stew doesn't cook in a minute- and it wouldn't hurt you to learn a little Spanish or Chinese and if that is beyond you they have phone apps.

stew is a good analogy, keep your individuality but pick up a lot of flavor and the ingredients working together to make a whole greater than the parts.

The point is that America and the developed world have let the multinationals asset strip them for the last 35 years- moving capital disproportionately upwards and offshore and the only funny thing will be when the multinationals start having problems with China inc, India inc, and Russia inc at that point they will invoke patriotism and nationalism but no one will be strong enough to help.

GG your problem is you think the choice is neoliberalism or Communism - those are not the choices, Capitalism with strict boundaries as have been practiced in the developed world for the last 50 years is the answer- you want us to lower the developed world to third world standards I'd rather raise conditions in the third world to the developed world's standard. What corporations have done is engage in a race to the bottom looking for places with the lowest wages, lowest benefits, lowest taxes and least amount of regulation for worker safety and the environment. That's not the corporation's fault as they are amoral and have a duty to maximize profit. They did not talk a maximizing profits though they talked about competition and if they were to compete they would have to move where things could be made less expensively. The question never asked was who were they competing against, the answer is other American and European corporations. This is where the governments of the developed world fell down on the job what they should have done was set multinational regulations for multinational corporations instead of letting the multinationals play one country against another.

the Usual GG,Magox,OC,Nanker, DC Tom crap- sorry if there was confusion the fault is mine -my usurpation of your place in reply to GG was the only way I could make the diss work.

Exile your a good guy, I would have said I'll stop talking Martian, if you stop talking crap straight from Uranus.

The point is, it is only external forces that keep many of these companies from using child labor, paying subsistence wages, having unsafe work conditions, or spilling their wastes into the environment. These companies are amoral looking only to maximize profit and they are totally willing to exploit their workers or to dump all their externalities into the surrounding communities. The only thing that constrains them are infrastructure needs, skill scarcity, security, and regulations and the quality of enforcement of those regulations. The reason that American and European companies use child labor, pay low wages, have less worker safety measures, and pollute more in third world countries isn't due to some hatred of brown people, it's simply because they can. If they could get away with it in the developed world they would. Which is why only a fool would unilaterally disarm.

wow!!! America is straight out gangster like Sons of Anarchy My link

I agree with this, swap with SF and get an extra 2nd and 4th I think ARI is also a candidate with us just getting their 2nd past SF I think you're running into 2 problems, teams having enough picks to move up and you start getting beyond first tier guys- the Pats have a lot of picks but are you really going to get a game changer at 17? once you get beyond Watt, Jordan, Tyron Smith or past 12 or 13 you are in 3rd tier guys IMO. My dream is ARI 1. QB 2. Bowers 3. QB 4. Peterson 5. Bills Dareus Or SF 1.QB 2. Bowers 3. QB 4. Peterson 5 Miller 6. Green 7. Bills Dareus

No, because they're that way they have nationalized health care. As for America you can thank Rand and Neoliberalism for changing selfishness from a common human moral failing into an exalted virtue.

The tea party started out with the right idea but that lasted about a month or so as one of the founders Karl Denninger explains.

I think it would involve tar, feathers, and a donkey.

Omni-Cipher you're kidding right, Jeffersonian approach? Thomas Jefferson on banks, corporations and the dynamic between rich and poor "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." "I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country." "Experience demands that man is the only animal which devours his own kind, for I can apply no milder term to the general prey of the rich on the poor." Thomas Jefferson on the military,relationship to nations and the use of force. "Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto." "Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none." "Conquest is not in our principles. It is inconsistent with our government" "The spirit of this country is totally adverse to a large military force." "War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses. " Thomas Jefferson on religion "I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature." "It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God." Thomas Jefferson on the disease of government and the cure "Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny." "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Maybe what Thomas Jefferson might have thought of whistle-blowers and wikileaks "Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government. " "No government ought to be without censors; and where the press is free no one ever will." On mental hygiene "He who knows best knows how little he knows." Hate to say it OC you remind me nothing of Thomas Jefferson..Unless...... oh wait, I get it, Onerous-Crotchsniffer must have been talking about George Jefferson the guy with the Laundromats, a little selfish egomaniac know-it-all who spends his time sucking up to the rich and putting on airs around the poor- yes OC is very Jeffersonian in that light.

yeah I worry about Japan, they are so naive to Union workers swindles, like after the nuclear crisis they will probably give the surviving irradiated crybabies health benefits and disability- thank god I live in a country that will at least try to deny any benefits to emergency workers,it was too bad the Republicans caved and that 9/11 first responders bill made it through but hey no country is perfect.

The guy got in the grounds without the security unleashing the dogs? I must say Biden's men are second rate.

I don't know if NEXCO is unionized or not but Japan certainly has unions.

Tom no matter how much you ass kiss or boot lick you will never be in the big boys club, at best you might churn an old widows portfolio, commit a pump and dump stock scheme, or get a small kickback from some type mortgage fraud- you are small fish. Try a reverse mortgage swindle those sick old people are golden.

It's not a secret Cabal it's a right in the open Cabal- you don't have to keep things secret, you just throw out enough conflicting information to create confusion- there's a reason 70% of Americans believed that Saddam was involved with 9/11 in 2003 and why 35% of Americans still believe it today (check out Agnotological war)- it's not a secrete that the majority of our politician are beholden to the people who finance their campaigns, give jobs to their family members,or provide other methods of financial remuneration when they leave office.

Obama is in the Cabal's pants, I'm all for getting rid of Obama, the problem is finding someone who isn't a whore- almost impossible to find a smart guy who can't be bought, bullied or blackmailed.

The Israeli Zionist lobby is just one of many interests our government serves before the interests of the American people don't forget the military industrial complex, Finance, Oil, and Pharmaceutical industry (check out how many medications they use to keep our boys fighting). Dexter just keep these things in mind. 1. Not all Jews are Zionist in fact Zionist are a minority of Jews 2. Not all Zionist are Jews, John Hagee and other right-wing Christians are Zionists 3. Not all Zionist are religious, Israel is about 40-50% secular and Zionist and Non-Zionist both have religious and secular members. 4. Not all Israelis are Semitic there is a reason most Jewish Israelis look European that's because about 80% have no Middle Eastern ancestry. lets focus on the fact that Israel and Egypt have been on the American dole for a damn long time and before we cut WIC, and Head-start we should cut these foreign welfare queens.

We aren't helping them cut our throats, there is no we in this, we are not represented, there is no we, there is only the government transnational corporation cabal so this should be expressed as "They don't have to help them cut our throats" and the answer to that is it is very profitable for them to help those who would cut our throats. The money that has bought our government is globalist money. in the era of the Robber Barron at least the the people buying our government were in the most part nationalists that is not the case today.

Folsom makes a distinction between the industrialist that made their money by producing a better good or product and those who made their money by political patronage, I'm still waiting for the right-wing apologists on this board to make that distinction present day.

Running an empire is expensive, does it bring a reasonable rate of return and are the costs benefits distributed fairly.
