Warning! POLITICS (Belongs in the Break Room)

We must admit facts instead of hiding it.

You present no "facts".

Facts may be seen,heard,read or experienced(hardships/sufferings) not by listening to superpowers & governments.

Pnaban: Wrong they are socialists or communists. Capitalism when practiced by either becomes what we are currently calling "crony capitalism", aka corruption. That is when the capitalist, rather than making a better mousetrap bribes a group of politicians. That is the point of this thread, trying to discern a better way to diminish this effect. Ben Franklin warned about it, as did some anonymous writer "Democracy can only exist until a majority of voters can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury". As we are at 47% and climbing we will be looking for Sri Lanka to pay us back in the near future.

Then you or your children will really have something to cry about. To my knowledge the only contribution to the human race provided by Sri Lanka was that is/was the residence of author A.C. Clark.

I realize you like the UN. In a former life, I lived and worked in NYC, the UN is a major source of traffic jams. Later I moved to the South Fork of LI, many of those "citidiots" had summer rentals out there. (you could tell by the diplomatic plates). They are an arrogant ill mannered breed to say the least. Maybe if everyone on this forum writes their CongressCritter, we could get the UN to relocate, destination ........................ you fill in the blank.

I am just commenting on the fate of freedom fighters, who laid down their lives and were sentenced to jail. Our present day politicians have forgotten them. Here is my personal experience:- My both parents were freedom fighters from Karachi ( now in Pakistan). They were jailed in 1930s, after partition of India they migrated to Mumbai (India). They lost their teaching job including all benefits, their house, and land. Came to Mumbai just with bare hands. After struggling a lot they got teaching jobs, smaller house and just survived. But to-day's politician here are flourishing with the money all ill earned.

I think we can all agree that a majority of politicians, the world around, are engaged in some type of corruption. There are good ones, but not a lot of them.

Best countries are Canada,Scandinavian countries,Germany etc. Anyone who approaches a superpower to coverup their crimes should not be accepted as good nation. Worse than that is superpowers creating satellite states in different parts of the world as their Princes & authorise to intervene in neighbours' politics by suppressing human rights in those countries.

pnaban, do you speak any other language besides Rant?

This is a place to learn. I'm glad you're here. Hope that didn't go over your head.

These are politicians, even if they are technocrats drawn from a hat. They wouldn't make themselves available otherwise. They all seek personal power and enrichment.

Don't believe a word is the only way to go. If he changes his underwear daily, he 's probably one up on the opposition...

I kind of like these guys. Monitors (across the board) maybe?
