Thanks Oreo, you missed my sarcasm. You are preaching to the choir here.

Generally people who profess to have class know how to spell such words as 'en' and 'distain' not to mention the grammer. ouch!

ouch.. have you seen the latest polling numbers from quebec? lol

If erasing poverty was as easy as raising the minimum wage, why stop at $11.00/hr? Heck, raise it to $30/hr and 'ban' poverty too while we are at it. I should be in the NDP campaign headquarters doing strategy.

I am FOR willing fighting in the game and I agree with this. What happened in this incident was not fighting, it was an assault. ban fighting? won't help this situation, this wasn't a fight. Sure way to get rid of hockey fights? ban hockey. what is it with people wanting to 'ban' all these things lately? a cultural phenomenon? Have we banned murder yet? I know it's illegal, but have we banned it? I not, i think we should. Surely this is the way to get rid of it. ban it.

?

yes, these have been lean times for the liberal party spinners. lol

Like heroin?

He's so far down the rathole now he can't even remember what his point was.

You must lead a charmed existence if Cannibis use is this important to you. You can thank your lucky stars you don't have something more real and tragic occupying your time.

WOW. So where did all this wealth come from then? How did the middle class ever come to exist?? I mean, 300 years ago 99% of the populace of England were dirt poor. How did they emancipate themselves? Does ideaology trump logic in your world too?

So you disagree with the whole concept of GDP and how most countries have increasing GDP's? Your argument is silly. A grade 3 person could see the holes in your argument.

surely this is a joke, right? The man who invented the assembly line just transferred wealth? Didn't make any? Un.be.liev.eable.

People asking me to help move them. When I was in university and younger and people moved alot, sure -I did it all the time. I am in my mid-thirties now. I hire moving companies to move me. Why can't others? I was asked again today. Hooray an evening of moving. A 45 minute drive there and back.. grrr.....

Thanks for making my point Drea!

Lol, I had forgotten that you believe in 'simultaneous evolution'. hahahaha What a crock. Man developed from apes (whoops, no apes in the America's) in SA independently of all other peoples in the world. Now, if that isn't the most disgusting form of racism since Nazi germany, then I don't know what is. It's amazing the twisting of logic one must perform in order to believe such twisted ideology.

They didn't domesticate the horse, in part because the hunted them to extinction. So that blows away two myths, one that natives treated the environment any differently than anyone else and two, that they were an advance culture. They didn't use the wheel because they didn't see the efficiency of it? lol That shows that you are plainly not an honest poster.

But they didn't have the wheel.. oops. or the horses.. oops! hunted the North American horse to extinction.. oops!

Amen!! Can I get an Amen brother?!

No, you are wrong. Denying that it happened would not be a crime at all in Canada. Saying that it should happen again and asking people to do so probably would be. People need to know what they are talking about here.

??? Levant would have no such right. There are NO laws broken in Canada when someone denies that the holocaust happened.

You need to brush up on your reading comprehension skills. I said " "to whit: from your wikipedia link. get it now?very good, let's move on shall we? Your link to prove 'over production' goes to the keynesian cross. note, it does not make mention of 'over production'. lol No more will be produced than what people think they can make a profit from. Pretty simple really. When they think they can't make more money by producing more, they will produce less. Look at Polaroid for an example of this. Of course demand and markets are not the same thing. Demand is a part of what makes up the markets. What a silly assertion. I want to live forever, doesn't mean that the 'live for ever factory' is going to make it for me. Wants is not demand. Wants and ability to pay is demand. Everyone has wants. This is your argument? "People have wants damnit!" lol What, now the left is worried about the profit levels of corporations? haha Your link only includes the manufacturing industry and it only includes Germany, Japan and the USA. Of course manufacturing profits have gone down in those countries. Look at the cost of labour there. Most things are made in China now. We export ideas and let others manufacture them. Win/win I'd say. Who is a richer company? Google or HP? Why? Google has ideas and software (nothing to manufacture) and HP manufactures computers. Which would you buy into? Have you seen any IBM computers for sale lately? What did IBM do? What does IBM and myself know that you don't? lol Yes, there are poor people in the world. thanks for that. So because there are poor people in the world we should all go communist? Is that it? Do you drive a Lada? A Yugo? I have never called anyone stupid with the eception of your posts. You don't need to decend to putting words in my mouth to take away from the fact that you are badly losing this debate. Oh, I see. You aere against copyright protection? can you explain to me how getting rid of copyright protection would increase innovation? Thanks! The TV sets was merely an example. We could talk about MRI scans or CT scans and how they are better than x-rays.. oops. sorry. I didn't mean to make that big of a hole in you argument. Not sure where you are getting the idea that there are a lack of markets for things in general? can you give me a real world example so I can destroy it? thanks The fact that there are poor people on the planet does not an argument make. There are many less poor people on the planet today and it has more to do with globalization than it does with the Sponsor a child program. As you were leftist soldier.

Ok, take the TV set. In the 1950's they were mostly hand built compared to today. They were mostly built in the USA. What % of the people were able to afford the TV's back then as compared to today? More or less? Are the quality of the TV's from the 1950's better or are the TV's from today better? Because if what you say is true then not only would the TV's from the 1950's be of a better quality than today's TV's but a higher % of the population would have to own them, than do people today. So that example takes into account your labour assertion and also comparitive wealth between the two eras. I will let you figure out the answer to this.

Well I was right. The link for 'overproduction' is from a maxist section in wikipedia. Find me an economist who believes in this. It is the same thing as not enough demand. it leads to lower prices, so what? that is a good thing. Look at how Walmart has helped lower income people. They vote with their feet. If Walmart was bad people simply wouldn't shop there and China would still be all about rice fields. Globalization has lifted a record number of people out of poverty. That's a fact. Can you give me a source that says the 'profit level' has declined significantly? What does 'profit level' even mean? Do you consider GDP to be a fairly good measure of economic output? If so, look up the GDP of countries that have free market economies and compare them with those that don't. You arguments are political in an economic discussion. Who do you think the 'World Market' is? It's the same people who you claim are shut out of it. (whatever that means). If anyone is shut out of the world market it is because they are led by people who think like you do and that's exactly what keeps them poor. The economy is great but we are none the richer for it? That is an oxymoron. Are you projecting? Are YOU poorer? Because Canadians certainly aren't. Check the facts and figures, REAL poverty has virtually disappeared in Canada and this isn't due to social programs, but the expansion of the economy. What is wrong with having Billionaires? IF Canada had more of them we would be better off. Guess who made the largest charitible organization on the planet? Yeah, that's right - Richest man number one and richest man number two. please come up with something substantive. thanks

The more we produce the less we are worth? what a moronic statement. If you want a serious conversation you will have to stop quoting passages from ear-marked pages of the socialist talking points book. From your link: this assertion is idiotic on so many levels. irregardless it is plain to see it has nothing to do with economics and everything to do with pro-union, pro-socialism anti-capitalism. I could see through that in a second - hence my smart ass remark. When childish things are posted, you will often get a childish response.. and this... Can you even tell me what this means? I don't think you can because I don't even think the original author can. Look, the economy of the world and yes, even North America has grown at leaps and bounds at an unprecedent rate and for an unprecedented length of time. We are living in good times, this correction, notwithstanding. If you want to cry that the sky is falling, it's not because of anything to do with economics, it has to do with left-wing politics and knee-jerk Anti-Americanism. You will have to do better than your original post to get a better response than you have.
