Many industries are using cheap labour and damaging the environment whilst making a few, very well off.Our first responsibility should be for the place we live and our fellow being before material wealth and prestige.Since the advent of the Thatcher years in 1979, society in general HAS become more materialistic and less concerned for its neighbours.When the actions of a few cause misery to millions just to put an extra zero on the already long line of zeros,then try to justify their actions as
'operating within the law',then surely this is a time when the law needs changing.What they are doing is tantamount to theft and vandalism on a grand scale and they should be prosecuted for their crimes already committed against humanity.The phrase "I'M ALRIGHT JACK.." must be the most common thought,if not motto,in boardrooms around the world.They are the modern day Robin Hood inrole reversal.Their aim to rob from the poor and give to the rich.
If we do continue down the same path then the only outcome will be more suffering for the masses and not just in the third world countries.Eventually the decisions that the people in power are making now and in the future will have a direct link to the destruction of our planet.If we continue to ignore what scientists are telling us it is inevitable that the damaged caused will be irreversible.So you see eventually even money won't save them.They will be,in some part,responsible for the death of the planet and with it life. Still " I'M ALRIGHT JACK!!! "

But I agree, mindless greed is killing this beautiful planet. However I can't see how money hungry dogs like Bush would ever give a shit about the planet or the future of the people anyway.
That's capitalism.
I'm rich...
You're not...
I'll damage the planet...
But who cares right? As long as I come out best.
Bopz
What a load of bullshit. He didn't say he was Amish!
No manipulation, no financial disasters, no fat cats, no need for taxes as government controls the purse strings from the start but with the same freedom of choice as modern day capitalism.
Then I woke up.
There is no answer, it's human nature to be greedy, it's inherited behaviour, we always want more than we need. As for 'evil', what is this 'evil' people speak of?
What do suggest chameleon??
No use complaining if there is no solution!;)
OK, capitalism creates economic inequality, but hasn't that existed since the first cities?? Why wasn't feudalism rebuked for excessive economic inequality (which DID exist then)?!
What's the alternative then?
Go off and join the Green Party and rant about population growth leading to Malthusian disaster.
Who says it will never actually be implemented properly at some point though?;)
Neo-Marxists would not use Marx's exact rebuke of capitalism to overthrow capitalism!:cool:
I vote green actually
Why don't we run up a red flag now and start worshipping the God that is Lenin?
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T work. Human nature means communism will never work. Changing the name of money to electronic credits won't make a difference mate.
I didn't think you'd be the sort to be anti-immigration *shrug*
Mwehehehe, tree-hugging hippy shit am I!
Capitalism isn't working very well either.
Sure it is...

If you're on top.
The tree-huggers in the Greens are alright- it's the ones who think A Blueprint For Survival is the way to go that scare me :eek:
I'm not too extreme. But politically and spiritually I believe that we gotta take more care of the earth and quit being so damn greedy.
Treehuggers/nature lovers usually are very cool... but some are complete twats, especially some over the top animal rights protestors. Like the ones who released the minks from the fur farm.
Fucked up our eco system as the mink are preying on water voles and birds.
I almost agree with it- but then they go off ranting about strict legal population controls. Scary stuff.
Legal population controls? I'll have to check that out. Limiting the number of kids the person can have?
Could be an interesting debate, but for another thread maybe?
Aye, and banning all immigration. The idea is very similar to the one-child rules in China, with similar consequences.
It isn't really relevant to this, I know, but I just find it fascinating. When people think of the Green Party they think of "tree-hugging hippies", not disturbingly Malthusian dictators. Which is what the Green Party is at it's core- the first manifesto says so:)
Taxing them heavily for every new child, on the other hand...
Good idea
Kermit, I don't think I read anything on their more up to date manifestos about banning immigration or population control.
