Tell me something genius...

What the hell does an actor have to do with exploiting third world countries? If by exploiting you mean the millions they spend feeding those people, or the millions they've spent on vaccines, or hospitals.........


Yes you are right, these meddlesome actors must be stopped, immediately.

[edit on 28-3-2009 by aravoth]


rome and its entertainers and the gladiators




If by exploiting you mean the millions they spend feeding those people, or the millions they've spent on vaccines, or hospitals.........


and by purchasing natural resources for fire sale prices , creating civil wars ,and using IMF to exploit those poor God forsaken nations




they've spent on vaccines

like how they(pharmas) crush alternative therapy in these poor countries ?




they spend feeding those people


like deliberate flooding the market with your corporate farm produced goods to destroy subsistence farmers livelihoods and thus starvation

Your previous post spoke of hypocritacal Christians. Your last post where you tried to come up with ammo against me was from a journalist who worked for the "CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR".

FAIL

Read that one two. Did you know his background is as an IT guy an novelist historian. In his book which was made after the asian crisis of 97' he said that during his research he was "shocked" to learn that the FED was a privately held company.

Pardon me if I don't take his writings too seriously.

In my opinion....FAIL again.

Here is a direct quote from the man. He admits that his book may be totally wrong.

Song himself has been commissioned to write a number of new books to capitalise on his success: on the yen, the euro and also on China's financial system.

But he sounds hesitant about the line his future tomes might take. "This book may be totally wrong, so before the next one, I have to make sure my understanding is right," he says. "Before, I was a nobody, so I could say anything I liked, but now the situation has changed."

No doubt. You'll get it first. Good luck with that and no matter what country you are in (we help them all) stop asking for our aid.

Oh and again........FAIL

Americans believe the government should make it illegal to pay movie stars and athletes more than $1 million per year.
Damn right. Athletes and film stars are useless parasites who don't produce anything.

And so, the owners' and producers' profits increase by hundreds of millions they don't have to pay their "stars" for the work Americans pay billions to watch. (If the public didn't pay in the first place, there'd be no millions and billions to divvy up. But they do.)

Where did Rasmussen poll, in ballparks and theaters? Who did he poll? Idiots?


This "poll" proves only that the majority of Americans are clueless.

Uh .. you mean 'you americans deserve much worse' ... right?

So what this boils down to is an "I hate America' rant thread.
Perhaps this should be in BTS rants ...

Sadchild .. go read 'ATLAS SHRUGGED' and get back to us. You will see exactly what happens when the government tries to pull things like this. It's all in the book.

Well, then the answer is simple! Lets just get rid of acting all together, we can't have Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie adopting 4000 kids in an effort to stop thier starvation now can we?

You are useless, you provide nothing, you produce nothing, you effect nothing. You sit here with your self righteous attitude balking at the decent things people do. You are a cancer on the world.

People that are better than you are helping those less fortunate than you, on their own. And you are angry about it. What a mess you are.

And the central bank in your country is owned and ran by the same people that own and run the federal reserve.

I think its funny you are actively advocating the destruction of the entire world. And instead of the USA being the Super Power of the world it will be China, a communist state that kills and "re-educates" its dissidents.

So instead of "liberating" other countries the Chinese will "re-educate" other countries. If you are in Europe you will probably be one of the first on the list.


edit - grammar

Thank goodness that 59% of people do NOT want government intervention in ANY private industry.

People really need to stop and think before they ask for the government to involve itself in any private enterprise. Because it may start, like it has, with the banks, then the Auto Makers, then the Insurance giants, then - maybe - hollywood and pro sports, but eventually, it will be whatever you do for a living too.

Government is SUPPOSED to be LIMITED in it's power. But the more the people keep asking for the government to "fix" something for them, the more power is given to government.

People need to be VERY careful what they wish for, because too many will find themselves saying, "But I didn't mean this" or "I didn't know" when they finally get everything they are asking for from the Government.

I havent read all the posts here, but I have to say, it is apalling to me that in this "free" capitalist society, people are openly advocated the fascism of controlling how much money someone can make. AIG bonuses, while disgusting, are legal in every way. $20 million a year for A-rod? If someone is willing to pay it, he has every right to earn it.
