Hippies!

The whole economic mess. They are hardly occupying wall street for the crack, I mean after one day of drinking the sights I personally would be pretty bored.
 
Read my point very clearly. Capitalism is a lie and been leaving it's roots for a long time now. Same fuckers own everything and same fuckers compete. Fronts. We are already in a corporate socialist theocracy. Uniformity of thought and shit. Greater minds than me been warning of these inherent dangers for a long time.

I knew from a young age that some people would have more than others because some people were more driven to achieve than others. Some people were gifted as musicians or athletes and would be able to earn a good living because of natural talents. With some, it was because they are gifted intellectually. I also knew that some people would go through life poor as a church mouse. Those were the ground rules and I decided to play within them.

The most damage to American capitalism has been done through geo-economics. As long as the United States was producing more, importing less than it exported, inventing more and not sending all of their jobs overseas, the capitalist system was working just fine. Let's just say, that there are a lot of countries trying to put sugar in the gas tank. I would worry more about that EU experiment that seems to be imploding over there before you are too concerned about us. How's that working out for you?
 
Don't think for a minute that you do either. Obviously corporations and businesses need to exist. But every single one of them comes with a literal army of lawyers whose sole job is to minimize accountability. Enron, BP, Ford, and the rest will screw you over, rip you off, poison you, poison the planet, steal your ideas and hand the whole mess over to their legal team and P.R. consulting firms. If you're one of the little guys who gets nailed, tough shit. If nothing else, they bury you with continuances and delays while your legal fees mount past the point of no return. Flash of Genius w/ Greg Kinnear is a perfect example of only one aspect of this. There's plenty others.

My mother wanted me to become a lawyer(seriously), but she's a good woman, nonetheless.
So who has a gun pointed at your head demanding you do business with those you mentioned? It's called choice. You are free to buy a BMW, SAAB, Mercedez, Toyota, etc. Nobody is forcing you to buy a Ford. Get off the pity pot, pull your fucking britches up and act like an adult and stop whining like a little bitch.

Seriously?! Are you this fucking obtuse? I mentioned Ford as an example, dipshit. All big businesses use these tactics and the consumer has no choice but to go along.

And for the future, I'd rather have no reply than a stupid fuckin' reply.

I'm sick of threads like this. Not only is it a display of extreme intolerance but it's also a showcase for the ignorance of the thread starter. Show me where the constitution grants individual liberty to corporations. I posit that corporations as we know them would have been deemed unconstitutional when this nation was founded. What's the difference between a corporation and a government? At least you have a say in what your government does. At what point do those that support big business surrender their citizenship and pledge allegiance to the corporate states of America?

I bought a Ford automobile recently because during that whole government bailout of the auto industry a few years back they didn't take any money from the government. They are one of America's great companies and continued to do business in the same way that got them to where they are now. I am tired of all this "corporations are surrounded by lawyers so they can screw the general public" crap. Lawyers are hired or employed by corporations to also help protect proprietary advantages, assist in patents and trademarks, deal with frivolous lawsuits ( there are people out there looking to make a buck off of corporations through dastardly deeds you know.) Corporations are an entity, and these corporations put a lot of bread on the tables of many families. Corporations sometimes only have 5 employees as well as thousands of employees.
 
Seriously?!
Yes!

Are you this fucking obtuse?
Andy Dufresne you are not.

Prove it. Show me PROOF that FORD (or any other business) purposely goes out of its way to fuck over the consumer. I'm sure some do.. but they won't be in business long. For you to simply site FORD as an example is intellectual weakness on your part.

This, for example:

Uh... you came into my topic. Not the other way around. You don't like my beliefs and or opinions, don't bother posting in my topics. Simple huh? Just as simple as it is for you to choose NOT to do business with FORD (or the other big meenies). Free Market is kinda cool, huh? You can always go somewhere else to purchase or... here's a novel idea.. start your own business!!!
 
More lost individuals. Geez... get a fucking GRIP!

You're sick of threads like this, yet you offer your disdain for it, and even pose a question in it?

I thought I saw a Sticky thast mentioned a million posts in FreeOnes. Surely you jest, to think every one of those one million posts were on par with queries and hypotheses that would be subject matter for the MENSA Internatonal Organization?

Yeah, I'm sick of troll threads. Tee-totally. If you want an outlet for your hate and anger why don't you trolly-la-la on over to Stormfront? And, I see you failed to answer the questions I posed above. Why is that? Because you don't care what the answers are, that's why, you just want to troll.
 
Corporations are not specifically addressed in the Constitution. But individuals become incorporators and individuals have a right to do so. Many key court decisions have come down over the years concerning the rights of corporations. That's good enough for me.

I have to tell you guys:

Why are you starting like a dozen different threads about the same topic?

Why are so many of you acting like little playground bullies?

Is this a competition to get infractions or the 'troll cup'?

If you have a different view then others, just post that, but stop flaming and insulting others, or we might have to hand out infractions.

Now I am closing the thread for a while, so you can take some while to calm down

I'm in agreement with Supudupafly here. Here's the OP using Keifer Sutherland's image...

Yet does he even know that Keifer's father, Donald Sutherland, was a hippie back in the sixties.

If you all don't believe me... look up some of Donald's characters in Kelly's Heroes or M*A*S*H among other roles.
 
One of my favorite movies. He played "Odd Ball" the tank commander. He also was a bit of a hippy type college professor in Animal House.

I don't care what any given thread starter believes. Some I agree with, and some I don't, but the whole trolling hate schtick is getting old. If a poster starts a thread just to bash one group or another that poster might think twice before hitting "submit". I don't make, "I hate _____________" threads and really don't have much regard for people that do.
