wrong. capitilism, especially over the last 40 years, has let millions of working class families living on the poverty line move into the middle classes - the primary reason has for this has been better access to education for all and anti descrimination employment laws - free labour market, this stimulates growth and as country grows so does the living standards of the residents of the country.

The best example of captilism is Hong Kong (a British creation  ;)) before we got there it was just a rock, it has no natural resources or anything like that but we turned it into a hugely successful economy, based on free markets minimal regislation. Why do you think China, a communist state, has left it pretty much untouched since we gave back in '97....

but at whose expense?

fptz:
Capitalism is only a part of the powerhungry world we're living in. It's fed by our wonderful 'democracy', which allows every person to evolve into a bigger consumer than the next man. We're fiending for riches, that's how we're being controlled by the powers that be.

Now while y'all sitting here to discuss all of this, I'm going outside to shoot me some UFO's.

Don Rizzle:
Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.

another thing I love about capitalism is that when you go overseas to the Third World your money is like X10! When you step off that plane you are balllllllliiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnn!


For eg: $1 USD is like 40 Filipino pesos, with 25 pesos you can buy a pack of cigarrettes or a Cheese Burger meal. Just think, $100 USD is alot of blowjobs and tequila my friends! Cant wait to go overseas again, maybe Bali this time, its gotten even cheaper cus of 'the terror'.

Don Rizzle:
u think dollars are good, try travelling on pounds!!
