Dowding, nice  LIberal Dodge...again.

So now you didn't imply that Russia was a "1st World" country?

"Dowding: Toad said that communism was an abject failure in raising a country's standard of living to the 1st world. This is simply not true if you look at the facts."

Under Communism they NEVER were up to a "1st World standard of living. NEVER. Communism WAS an abject failure in raising their country to a 1st world standard of living. They couldn't even FEED themselves. They still aren't 1st tier overall, IMHO.

Cold War rivals? Militarily yes, simply because they had Nukes and a HUGE ground army.

"1st World standard of living rivals?" Pass the bong, duuuuuuuuude!

No, the point about my relatives was NOT spurious. Both of them took incredibly bad jobs, under incredibly bad working conditions and under incredibly bad pay.

The question, which once again you have "Liberal Dodged", is WHY do people TAKE jobs like that Dowding?

You know the answer, too. You just can't bring yourself to admit it. Because then the people that actually TAKE those jobs would not be agreeing with YOU.

I'll agree that some multi's in some countries are really disgusting. It does happen and it IS a problem.

However, the reason it is even POSSIBLE for the "bad multi's" to pull this off is obvious.

Once again, it's the history of the world. It's been written over and over again. No one has found a way to successfully bypass this step of a developing nation yet, as far as I know.

Now, am I evil because I read history and see it repeating itself?

Doesn't mean that I don't wish for a "better day" just as much as you do.

I think I'm just more of a realist.
