death penalty

Oh, men, you both live in a sort of bubble. Go to Thailand. Visit nike's, reebok's, levi's or another brand's factories. That's what I call true modern slavery. Africa is how it is nowadays 'cause of the big rippoffs that Europe and the U.S.A. did in the past centuries.

Btw, when I say "socialist" I don't mean "communism" like in the USSR, China or Cuba.

Again, yours may be the richest country in the world, but people are starving on the streets. I think that's a problem.

The problem with you is that you live too well. If you were unemployed, or you were poor, or you lived in a hispanic ghetto in Detroit you wouldn't think the same. That problem is the same that many people has in developed countries. They think they are the good boys, and that they have the right to do and undo and to decide what's good and what's wrong and what does a poor country need. You invaded Afghanistan, you invaded Iraq. Sure, those countries were in a bad state, but the problem is that you think that you solved the thing and that they are fine now when that's completely untrue. Iraq is a hell, just a different hell.

And poor countries are leeched by rich ones by one single reason: globalization. Globalization takes poor countries even deeper. They have to pay more for medicine, they have to compete against big powers in a shared market. Their prime materials are being constantly sucked up by our aspirators, paying them 1/100th of what they cost.

The reason that many African and South American countries did not grow at all during this period, and continue not to grow, is because of stability issues. Regardless of the reason for instability in many African states, it is there.

And now that's fun. You are talking about stability issues in South America. Well, let's try to make some history. Who put Noriega in Nicaragua? Who helped Pinochet to begin the dictatorship in Chile in 1973? Who aids the SPARCs and the ultra-right-wing guerrillas in Colombia? Now talk about mid-west, who helped the Talibans to reach to the power? Who propicied the IRAQ-IRAN war in the eighties? Who sold weapons to Saddam Hussein for that war? Who trained Usama Ben Laden?, I can follow... what was the sense of Vietnam? Why did more than 1,000,000 of innocent people die in that war?

All that lack of stability has been produced by YOUR COUNTRY! Please, don't you ever say that your country works for freedom and peace and stuff, 'cause it does exactly like every country does (or tries to, the thing is that only your country is capable): work for itself stepping over the rest of the world. Free Iraq? Why? Why Iraq and not, for example, Zimbabwe or Ruanda? ah, I see. No petrol there. Oooh...

And now you seem amazed about the fact that the half of the world don't like the U.S.A. very much. The explanation is simple: You've been doing whatever you wanted with the rest of the world for 100 years.
