Since the majority of people in the world have brown eyes, I think we should say that "all brown eyed people are dripping with blood."
And of course, Hitler had his master race, so we can add to that all "blonde haired, blue eyed people are dripping with blood too."
Since we're all irrevocably unredeemable, let's just take our remaining nukes and light this candle, why don't we? We've still got a sufficient number to ignite the atmosphere of planet Earth and burn it off....that should take care of business quite nicely, AND it has the side benefit of "resetting" everything, so it's all nice and fair. Everybody gets the same outcome! WhoooHooo!
But, before we do that, I'm going to go to Kroger on the way to my grandmother's. While there, I'm going to explot a few grocers (who in turn, exploited a few farmers) and buy some dinner stuff, then go up and let my grandmother exploit me when I cook dinner for her.
I'm a scurvy capitalist dog!

quote:
Because something may have morally despicable origins hundreds of years ago does not mean that in the present it continues to be morally despicable.
The United States of America, as a country, has done some seriously awful things (genocide of Native Americans, Slavery, colonial escapades during & following the Spanish American War, the excesses of the Cold War, etc). However, that does not mean the country is unredeemable. Policy can be changed. Amends can be made.
How's this one: all nations are dripping with blood! Lets kill everyone! YEEEHHHHHAAAAAAWWWW!

Did I say that capitalism is morally despicable? Who's capitalism?
I just think that in the current conditions, a socialist system would be a system that would create much more happiness, would progress humanity, and make it happier.

Speaking of pains in the @$$, how was it living in a system when people periodically experienced shortages of bathroom tissue? Oh, you never experienced that? Tell me, what was your father's job? Was he a factory worker? A welder? An iron monger? My guess is that he was a factory manager, or higher. Incidentally, what country do you live in today?
Economics is not, repeat, NOT, a zero-sum game. If it were, the only way some could be living in highrises, sipping Champagne and planning their tennis matches would be if 90% of the population were either dead or living in holes in the ground. And yet, the population has grown drastically and the standards of living in EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY are growing. Infant mortality and life expectancy have dropped remarkably, in both developed and undeveloped countries. Prosperity has come to every single person on earth, and while some are still incredibly rich, and some are still dirt poor, they are better off than 20, 50, 100, 200, or 1000 years ago.
