Yes, corporations are evil. I agree. The best thing you could do for yourself is go to a place where you will be valued and corporations are put in their proper place.
I suggest Cuba . . . you could leave your "corporate" big three automobile here in the US and go over there where . . . you'll get good health care and you can work like a slave to maybe get a chance at a 1950's car that is held together with old welds and rubber bands.
Or perhaps China, where if you protest you'll be run over by a tank or thrown in jail, so you could be re-educated as to the evils of corporate America. And as a slave in that educated system you could work in prison making dolls that McDonalds or some other fast food place will give away with "happy meals" to the poor corporate people's kids over here.
Every system has a set of rules and to thrive as a thinking human (not BS'ing human) you have to figure out what those rules are and adapt or figure out where you can best fit in. It's apparent that you'll fit in better in one of these other places, from your simplistic gripe session. |

First and foremost: What the HELL made you assume I was a woman? I'm not!
Did I say corporations are evil? No, I did not. The notion of a capitolist society is a good one becuase it rewards the hard work of anyone willing to put in the effort.....or at least that's the way it's SUPPOSED to work. I've got nothing against the idea of a company contributing to the economy, enabling its employees to live thier lives, etc. The problem starts with companies ignoring subtle responsibilities, like say, HUMAN RIGHTS. You seem to think that only communistic societies treat people like slaves and throw people in jail for speaking thier mind. Are you that ignorant? All of that stuff happend in your back yard, right in the chair in which your sitting at this very moment. I'm the one BS'ing?! Look at US history; not the books you get in school, the real stuff. Don't act like the United States is all roses when it comes to employment issues; 40 years ago it wasn't uncommon to be turned down for a job because you were black. That's right: we were South Africa without the diamond mines (by the way, that still goes on today in case you weren't aware). During the red scare of the 50's, you mentiond the word "communism" in the wrong place and you were on trial for being a spy. Get with it, dude. Oh, and about the health care issue: you're right, I WOULD get better care over there. Consider that we live in the only first world nation NOT to have universal health care. Can you really assume that everyone else is wrong and we're right? There can't be that many stupid first world nations out there, or they wouldn't be where they are.
-Keepin' it real.
