Re: Why Germany Has It So Good -- and Why America Is Going Down the Drain | Economy | AlterNet

COPE2 — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 07:03:13 -0000

this article is biased, and flawed, which explains why i dont visit this website very often. they are saying that germany is somehow better because it has more fortune 500 companies, but since when is having fortune 500 companies a good thing? these are the same multinationals that are destroying this world. if you are proud of something like that then there's something seriously wrong with the author. this article also leaves out a lot of problems in germany, such as the shrinking population. germany is a racist country that is limiting immigration, yet they have all this so called socialism that many people here like to refer to. you dont have to be a genius to figure out that you need a much larger young population to support the older population. there's also no mention of germany's status as a u.s. puppet state. in many ways, germany's success or failures are a result of whether or not the u.s. allows it to be. i also don't see how germany can produce things any better than another country. one of the primary reasons why germany has an upper hand in manufacturing now is because of instability caused by the u.s. in other parts of the world in the past 50 years. if these countries are able to somehow fight off western imperialism, and achieve stability, then germany's role as a strong manufacturer will come to an end. if not, then it is only a matter of time till these so called fortune 500 companies find a better and more efficient place to produce all these things at a fraction of the cost. this article does nothing to convince me that germany has any kind of long term advantage over any other country. germany's economic success is nothing but a coincidence and a streak of luck.

based on articles ive read from the western media, ive come to the conclusion that most of them are false and have some kind of right wing agenda. i find it fairly safe to believe the exact opposite of what is written in the western media, particularly in the english language. for the west to label china as an irresponsible member of the international community is ludacris, especially when they ignore what americans have done and is doing in iraq and afganistan. since when was it responsible to purposely frame a country for having wmd, invade it, kill a million innocent people, force 4 million into refugee status, install puppet governments and forcefully take their natural resources? other acts of being a responsible member of the international community include staging coups, sponsoring death squads, overthrowing democratically elected governments, sponsoring terorists states -israel. let's also not forget that the oh so responsible usa had also put sadam husein into power and sponsored, and trained bin laden for years. instead of sanctioning iran, the world should be sanctioning israel. theres alot more reason for anyone to sanction the usa than iran from a human rights stand point. you got your 2 views of the sanction. heres the third view.

Re: Why Is Google Doing Government's Job?

COPE2 — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 03:47:19 -0000

you mean why is google doing the cia job? well i think google and the cia had an agreement that google will do the propagdanda work while the cia goes and starts riots in xing jiang, and tibet while they have time away from overthrowing the thai govt. now that google is not censoring chinese websites anymore, theyre back to collecting data and information for the cia and nsa. google was thinking, dont be evil. thats our job. and you know how americans feel about chinese "stealing" their jobs. god bless america.

yo bro. have you taken your medication today? you lost me after u said that chavez is bribing people to become socialists. you might want to go back to school and study your history. when greedy capitalist countries go into innocent countries to extract natural resources, they install a right wing dictator, not a socialist. in fact, the biggest thing standing in the way of greedy capitalist countries like the usa, and what you call the "free world", is socialist leader. they tend not to let just anyone walk into their countries to take their resources. rather they look out for the interest of the common folk. that covert underhandded style of sabatoge that you describe is precisely what the cia does, and i will also assume that the "free world" engages in.
i think we can all pray that china becomes stronger. the sooner that happens, the sooner the imf and world bank will stop raping africa. i got to give credit to the author for pointing out that Mobutu Sese Seko was u.s. backed, and it would not surprise me if a lot of conflicts, and wars in africa were directly promoted by the west.

Re: Top Lefty-Friendly Counties

new york is not that liberal friendly. if you think about it, the minimum rent in manhattan for a 1br is around $2000. how liberal can someone with that kind of money be? nyc is also the home the of the american finance industry. usually wall street, and liberal dont go together, unless youre talking about free market, but generally speaking these types are more socially conservative. nyc also has a right wing businessman mayor. theyve only had republican mayors for the past 15yrs. maybe you and i have different definitions of what liberal means. i mean london is a conservative city, but i think even they are 100 times more liberal than nyc. stockholm is 100 times more liberal than london. which puts nyc way far to the right somewhere. even if you compare the nyc of 1980 to the nyc of today, youll notice a considerable shift towards social conservatism.

Re: Study Ranks Americas Most Liberal and Conservative Cities

COPE2 — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 13:57:06 -0000

this goes back to my original question though... what makes these cities liberal? now especially since geekmom has brought up the fact that liberals do not practice liberal acts, what makes these cities liberals if neither the laws or the people are truly liberal?

that whole soccer mom scene strikes me as solidly conservative. sports teams in general revolve around a conservative crowd, and atmosphere. how many liberal jocks do you know? a true liberal wouldnt have kids either, because this world has too many people as it is. that is the trend in europe right now. i know americans are still having loads of kids. when i think of liberals, i think of people who drive hybrids. maybe you have a different definition of liberal to me. i also dont think of democrats as really liberal. theyre just a milder form of a republican. i will say that most americans are probably not liberal. it is a conservative country. even if you compared detroit to dublin ireland, you will find that dublin is way more liberal, and technically dublin still sits right of centre. and ireland isnt the most liberal european city either because you still have copenhagen, amsterdam, stockholm, helsinki. i dont doubt there are hypocrite liberals. it is not easy to not use air conditioning when its 30 degrees, have your hot water on a timer, use motion detector lights in halls, ride a bike to work, support gays, not shop at walmart. it requires a lot of work and effort, especially in capitalist societies.

couldnt help but notice a lot of these so called liberal cities are also black cities. what exactly makes these cities liberal anyway? i have been to some of them, and wouldnt notice the difference between the conservative ones, at least politically speaking. i mean none of these cities have universal healthcare, cops are all over the place, taxes are low, s.u.v's all over the place, religion all over the place, support our troops sticker all over the place, gay marriage is illegal, death penalty legal, racism legal.
