| Quote (Bozeman @ 03 June 2002,07:22) | 1. Corporations != people, corporations are companies. They are run by a few people, who constantly take advantage of the masses. (yes there are some exceptions) Corporations pollute, rip off or lay off their workers, and rip off consumers, while lobbying congress with the money they got from you so they can do it even worse later.
2. Conservatives believe that putting up the 10 commandments would have stopped columbine, but not gun control laws. Watch The Awful Truth second season if you don't believe me.
5. Ah, good old 1960's... before the women and the blacks got all their "equal rights" which are still FAR from equal.... makes me so nostalgic.... Women (on average) don't get paid as much as men, and most blacks are working poor. And CK wants to go "back" to the 1960s instead of forward. You didn't NEED to say anything about racism or sexism.
6. Conservatives are all for allowing businesses to screw their workers. Don't believe me? Do some research. Check your local congressperson's voting record. The "pro buisness" anti-poor agenda isn't hard to find. |
1. Aside from Wiley's comments, this was covered in a thread earlier..., the rich get rich by selling stuff that everybody buys. Including the poor. That the poor (and everyone else) are willing to shell out money for the commodoties sold by corporations simply shows that the corporations are selling something that the poor (and everyone else) feel is worth buying. This is the result of competition..., of course when there's no competition things are a little different (hence, anti-trust laws).
2. Don't even start on columbine. Both the democrats and conservatives responded to this awfully. It's kind of hard to figure out which approach was more idiotic -- ignore the problem and just try to stop hate-filled teens from being ABLE to commit the crimes (a futile exercise at best! ) or pretend that you can brainwash them into ignoring what they suffer and not commit the crimes (I hear this works in lala land)
5. Y'know, when CK said he wanted to go back to the 1960's, I don't think he had that in mind..., it's somewhat misrepresentative to say his intent was to repeal equal-rights legistlation and re-instate jim crow laws. He just seems to feel (as many conservatives do) that morals were better back then.
6. I'd respond but Wiley just about covered everything.
Wiley sorry if I repeated anything you said...if I did, just think of it as added impact

I'm waiting to see the outcome as much as you are. I applaud their bravery though. Must be scary to tackle something the big, strong US is afraid to touch. I wish them luck.

veistran, stop being so damned ignorant.
negotiating a pact between 15 different countries isn't something that will be over in a month.

If the global warming theory is conjecture, then why does GWB recognize it as being something that warrants attention?

Sir? May I recommend I load myself into the reverse-thrust tubes and you use my body as decoy-fodder? This will, of course leave me splattered across deep space and unable to complete today's laundry, for which I apologise in advance.

Thats a good question, the only reason I can think of is that he is again pandering to the liberals to take away issues from them.

I'm saying his exact statement was conjecture, it had nothing to do with "global warming the theory" which I also think is still very much unproven.
as far as being ignorant. hah, kyoto isn't worth the paper it's written on. it'll fall apart rather quickly barring some serious changes in how it's worked, specifically in the enforcement area.
The GWB and global warming, sounds like the same kind of calculated move as the steel tariffs to me.

I heard on Rush that bush renounced the report, although I can't find any articles about it anywhere. I guess it's not very big news...
