[/quote] Indeed I am ashamed of the fact that I used the wiki, but it has legitamet refrances at the bottom if you truely wish to bother looking up the info on which i base my responses.

[quote] TGE as a result of mass media. [/quote] Not really media, more like people. And their expectations of the poor. [quote] Um, yeah... I won't call the incompetent man incompetent.

[quote] you're naivite and blind following of illogical, far far left wing propoganda is beginning to rail on me. if you cannot keep a logical thought in your head for more than a few seconds you aren't worth debating with. [/quote] First off far left? Isolationism is far right :P Next off, I am not spewing forth any known propoganda from any political party. These are my own views. Thirdly, I'm not saying that globalization is a bad thing, its done wonders for the world. Peop

Things that are produced in any of the undeveloped countries are sold for three times the cost here, and things produced here are sold for ten times the cost there. In the end its only the corporations that truely benifit. Plus, free trade is destroying world culture. The corporations who manage to sell their goods abroad do not spend the time to blend and integrate their products to the culture of the consumer. Instead the spend their time and money bombarding undeveloped countries wi

[quote] the general populace is doing much better nowadays, back in commie Russia the general populace (not you're golden age physcisist parents) were treated like shit, regardless of what the government does. [/quote] Haha, oh how WRONG you are. The general populace enjoyed the stability, sure the feared the government and what it did to those who spoke out, so people just learned to not speak out publicly. Even now the democracy days of 90s are already over for Russia. The f

[quote] A fleet of 30 frigates is attacked from the rear by 5 frigates. The fleet then turns, giving the five frigates a few free shots, who move through the enemy as they turn, forcing them to turn again. You have a wonderful opportunity to hit them as they are turning from the other direction, and another opportunity to hit them from that opposing direction once they turn back. Three sets of five frigates would do substantial damage in such an instance, An equal force sent in such a manner wou

I dont underestimate their powers, but are poor kids going to have well motivated friends? In the end the main cause is the fact that everything in this government attempts to help the poor, but in the end helps the rich evade their taxes. Oh well, Democra-see, Democra-do. Oh and are you guys serioulsy going to start arguing over religious controversy?

[quote] that would be, as opposed to your closeminded denial? [/quote] I'm not in denial. :P I'm just saying that being poor does is not necessarily the reason for not going to college. I mean if poor people were encouraged to better themselves, instead of being bombarded by pesimistic mass media things would be a lot different for education.

[quote] having poor people who think they will never make a difference does NOT lead to poor people not getting the money for their higher education, thats two completely different issues. not to mention the system of grants and need based funding has got that sector almost completely under control. [/quote] What? No! You rephrased again. First you said poor people don't WANT to go to college. Now you are saying that not only do they want to, that they are motivated en

[quote] no it isnt, again your bleedheartedness is showing through. yes its not a law, (nothing is in sociology) but inherently being poor breeds different ideals than does being relatively rich. [/quote] Its not from being poor, its from being under appreciated. From the time they are born they are taught to be, either through crappy education(oh thank god for this education system) or through the expectations of others, to no amount to anything. These are kids who know they have no op

[quote] PFFT! Since when does Russia have money? [/quote] We have the money, its just all laundered away by our politicians. The creepy thing is we would rather have that then democracy.
