I must say, you've made some pretty large, sweeping generalizations in your anti-US view.
You make it sound like this large continent lies in a wake of devistation when in fact you are wrong. Our "few national parks" aren't the size of Central Park in New York. They span thousands of hectares across major sections of the country. A large portion of the land in the populated US remains intact with original vegitation, forests and wildlife -- yes I saw a buffalo herd just two weeks ago roaming free-range.
You should give more creedance to the general populace's thinking because half of us don't think the world is flat. Again, you've made a large sweeping generalization. Yes people in general all over the world have concepts in their mind and it can prove difficult changing perspectives, but to accuse a populace of ignorance not based on fact is down right ludicrous.
I just wish people like you would back up your statements with facts rather than sounding like an un-educated, biased blow hard. Facts would make your argument more compelling.
I have a job, and it's hard! QUIT! See how much you like the unemployment line. How many people here would kill for that job at EA? You make me want to puke. I know some Slashdotters lean toward socialism, but this post is ridiculous.
Did you even read the post or just glean your idea from skimming it?
What upsets is that someone complains about unfair labor practices and you cry out quit, stand in an unemployment line and label them a socialist. Just because there are a hundred other people that would take that job doesn't make the management's practices right. We work in an educated country and salary slavery is just as wrong as outright slavery.
I've worked those kinds of hours and I can honestly tell you it sucks. I continued on because I enjoyed my work, but it soon extracted its toll on my health and my family life. When I saw what it was doing to me, I left for a better job for less money but I work normal hours and have a life.
So before you start labeling people and puking in the unemployment line, think; there is a human side to a business and these types of work practices reflect bad managment and not a rise in socialism.
