But getting back to the center of the topic, the truth lies in the fact that many company CEO's are dispicable, nasty, greedy, lazy, horrendous people who basically got the job due to having connections or being someone's son. They cut corners every where.

And I bet you think I'm joking when I say they want to repeal anti-slavery laws. I kinda am, but I have a feeling they really want to. look at the "evil illegal Aliens." If anyone's to blame for them "Taking our jobs" it's not them, but the big corporations. They can pay them less than minimum wage and deny them benefits. And if they complain they call INS. It is the paid equivillant of slavery.

That's why when they want to get rid of immagrants they only want to get rid of the ones who are adjusted, own small business and are applying to citizenship and are having a rough go of it....

So even if Mattel and the rest moved their plants back here, whos to say they will employ legal people for legal wages?

Absolutely! I do think there's an immigration problem. There does need to be some kind of order, especially since there are immigrants who do make the effort to come legally. But yeah it's not all their fault, it's our corporations who bring them in because they work for so little. Everyone's being taken advantage of here.

Exactly! And do you know why it's mainly Mexican? because their ruler, like all world leaders is only thinking for himself, and comes from money. They have a similar rich/poor gap there.
So it pretty much almost doesn't matter that everything is outsourced. Not like American's are getting the job anyway.

There's only one way to stop the immagration problem. Unionize the illegal workers. There'll be no reason to hire them if they are paid the same as legal residents. Then those ones can get citizenship and make an honest living. Honest on the part of the corporate scum that hired them.

Aahhhhh! The power of PR and spin. Words like "Climate Control". Somebody was paid to make that one up to make it sound lass threatening to the public.

But do you think that we're actually going to listen to them? I know this is a stretch, but I've actually heard from some people that China is trying to poison us with their evil paint to try to make us stupid so they can take us to war and over throw us.

Yeah America doesn't really take the things the Chinese government tries to say seriously. When Sars hit, they didn't tell the truth about how many people were infected.

It seems China is using it's propaganda networks to tell us our tainted food and leaden toys are safe.
If only China and other "bad" states were the only ones using propaganda in order to mislead. . .its just like diplomacy--glossing over the un-appetizing realities of our world, even though they are still there just under the surface for anyone that really wants to look at it.

Unfortunately, its all part of politics, and politics is all about pursuing and holding onto power through whatever means possible.

Well, I would rather that no one was using that kind of propaganda. :wink:

Yeah there will always people doing bad things. Hopefully there will also always be people who have the nerve to try and fix it. :smile:
