Amen.

Yes, capitalism in America does create what we refer to as "ghettos", where the poor people live, commonly the minority. The German exchange student we have over said that Turkish people live in German ghettos... Its what happens here, and the people born from there usualy can't be taken care of, and make generation anfter generation of poor counties. I live in a nice area, but I find it sad that people don't live as equals, less than 2 miles away around my school is an older run down part of town, somewhat of a ghetto. I support true communism, as Danny stated.

And surfacing, I have a new idea... How bout a spice girl theme, fits you perfectly, or are the Spice Girls in Austrailia....

And...for SeaRex, I enjoy your comment on anarchy but we all know that as good as anarchy is afterwards...it really bites ass when it happens. (1)
Another thing, to all you people, being a patriotic citizen isn't cool at all. In fact, it shows how stupid you are that you would love your country. You kids on your computers obviously don't know how the real world is. (2)
Tons of video games and companies and conglomerates don't make a country geat....What makes a country great is the people in it. (3)
And as far as I'm concerned, American culture sucks. (4)
(wow, I like how this guy thinks!)
1. Ah, that's the bad thing about it. It's all fun and games 'til someone loses an eye.
2. Dear odd, tell me about it. Naive little sheep being lead to the slaughter. Red, white, and blue. Every day of your @#$%ing life!!!
3. Video games do make a country great! :D :rolleyes:
4. Eee... one problem. What do you mean by "American Culture"? Elaborate a bit on that. As far as I'm concerned, some of it is great. But, if your just talking about the Right or other oppressive governing bodies, than I'm fine.

Well, to get back on topic, the Communism that Danny described sounds pretty peachy. Better than what those bastards teach you in schools. Doesn't sound good for lazy ppl, though. Earn money? Pfft. :rolleyes: I'm not going all out and saying I'm a commie, though. I know that if true communism (or democracy for that matter) was ever acheived, some greedy bastich would find a way to abuse the power. Even in communism. Human greed knows no bounds.

Capitalism. People should work hard for their cash. Motivation is what's needed in the world. Plus it's not fair that in communism, the brain surgeon earns the same amount as the painter (no offense to painters, but you see my point). It doesn't work!
As for Vietnam and your use of the word "discuss", I don't know, but what are you, an exam writer? (Bad memories of the Higher School Certificate!).

1. People have to work hard for their cash in communism. There are loads of poeple who haven't worked at all and are filthy rich in this capitalist world. *cough*Royal Family and Lords*cough*

2. Which version of communism is that?

3. If you read Dan's definition of the ideal version of communism you should be able to see that it's far better than capitalism.

If you can't be bothered to read through a thread before answering it, why should I bother to repeat myself for you?

Im glad to know fellow people who play Oddworld are just as liberal as I. Rastafar!

I think that capitalism breeds class warfare. not only that, rich people get hundreds of billions of dollars in "subsidies" and have to pay a capitol gain tax of 35 percent. The cgt sounds big, but the average comopany only pays twelve percent of that. www.fair.org The media sucks. Trust yourelf! don't expect some moneygrubber will give you the truth. Because the truth isn't "profitable"
