    Though fucking noogies.

    The United States bears within the seeds of it's own destruction. By indoctrinating kids with the notion of having money instead of doing something worthwile, it will only promote the learning of parasitic, destructive and lucrative crafts like lawyer, salesman or MBA.

    Exactly 50 years ago, in 1957, Sputnick was launched and shocked the USA in realizing that their Science education was not at par with the pinko soviet communists. Since those 50 years, the US has entered a downdrain spiral of falling into "easy" mind tricks, illustrated most eloquently by the extreme rise of religious people who, as a matter of faith, will outright reject science.

    It's not for nothing that muslims countries are ass-backwards: their religion impedes Science, just as the christianity is impeding Science in the USA.

    There is no way out, unless the USA will ditch it's anglo-saxon greedyness mindset, dump the religion in the garbage heap of History (shooting all evangelists in the head oughta do it, as well as compulsory mixed masturbation classes for boys and girls) and get it's ass back together properly.

    In the meanwhile, enlightened countries in Europe will sit back and have a good laugh at the USA's self-destructive habits consume it in an orgy of god-dictated stupidity.

    in their careers. And those people have families, and big expenses. And it isn't fair to just suddenly pull the rug out from under them so bill gates can earn another billion.

    As to the poor people in other countries, here's an idea: fix your own damn county instead of piggy-backing on the USA.

    I say we should be disbanding any corportion that doesn't have, as a part of it's charter, a duty to support the citizens of the country that is granting it incorporation papers.

    Then it is a good thing that such decisions are not left up to you and your Marxist friends. The corporation exists to benefit and enrich the shareholders (hopefully) and other than compliance with laws that are designed to mitigate negative externalities and prevent outright fraud there is no obligation to the public at large in the manner that you suggest nor, in my opinion, should there be. This video sums it up nicely, albeit in a somewhat corny fashion.
