I agree, where's are the referees? Do you believe in the death penalty for corporate crimes, if so what particular crimes? Shouldn'd corporate criminals be torn apart by registered angry crowds of consumers?
Don't international private bankers represent an disadvantage to fair competion?

Why stop at the bankers?... Surely there must be a death sentence for the mechanic that doesn't properly repair the car and being drawn and quartered for those that sell a piece of clothing that results in the colors running after the first wash

Can't think of any corporate crimes off hand that I would support the death penalty for, but I never say "never" but I am for a punishment that is worse than death, kept in a bunker for life at the minimum temperature necessary to sustain life and fed K.D. three times a day & maybe a turkey neck for Xmas. That should give them an inkling of how poor folks live. :)

And to go one step further for politicians who lie making campaign promises. If Jr. wins I'm just itching to see him import the refugees by year's end. That will be a sight to see! :)

I never implied I was going to stop at bankers, in fact I would start with bankers.

Poverty's roots are deep in social condition not in economics.
What makes one person rich another poor? Oh I know all the
crap about he didn't have a chance.
In that case all single parent boys would be poor fathers no so
In that case all those with families afflicted with substance abuse
would be problem people themselves not true.
All daughters of prostitutes will be the same not true.

In fact in many cases those in adversity do better because they
have hope and the social and mental skills to rise above.
In some cases we have serious loser and some in serious trouble
with the law not because they are rich or poor its because the social
conditions surrounding them they couldn't adapt to.
Poverty and wealth come about for man reasons.

1 Attitude
2 The drive to succeed
3 The ability to reason
4 People focused on a life plan
5 Those with self esteem
6 Those who can find a way to overcome obsticles

The biggest issue on the other end of the scale is some people want the
world to do it for them.
No economic system is going to cure that it comes from inside the individual

The third group is reserved for those with mental handicaps at birth or accident
physical handicaps and a variety of legitimate conditions.
I know a kid who was hit by a car and is using much of his settlement money to
learn to function in a workplace he wants a job not assistance
The reason for poverty comes in many forms most based on social conditions
that the individual ability to overcome them

You are so right Walter.
Put a single digit number for the percent of profit made available for any one product before the 'excess' goes to lowering the price of the commodity for all consumers, including the poor.

In this country - oh hell, in N. American we have NO IDEA what poor is. Our so-called "poor" are pretty much better off than the poor in, say, Africa or India.


In Canada, we have social programs that mitigate the fact that you're either disabled or unable to work for whatever reason. One may not live in the lap of luxury but you are given the basics required.

Don't be stupid we've been shown the poor of the world for fifty years, non stop broadcasts of what will become of all those who do not embrace the New World Order and everyone of those tragic nations was driven into poverty by the present rulers of this earths financial parasites and thier dirty banking houses. Maggots need rotting meat, there is no other way for them to live but on dead bodies.

Bollocks. There is much poverty and deprivation throughout North America. Some of the world's poorest and most deprived and most poverty-ridden countries are in North America. You want to take a look at Haiti, for example.

That is generally very true although I would concede Haiti is one exception.

Your usual argument is of the calibre that has eroded the once good name of this establishment. You consistantly fail to make any intelligent counter to virtually every subject put to you. I believe that you are what's known as slow, developementally challenged if you will, a brick or two short of a full wall. Hati was the first democracy in the west idiot. Hati was crushed by the money maggots and remains a disgracefull example of western excesses.
