Protectionism. They can't export, but we dump on them. Similarly with outsourcing, the backlash against it. When we have a free international market, it will equalize.Originally posted by Provost Harrison

Sure it's more important to remove poverty, but you can remove poverty AND inequality. It seemed to me that you favor inequality. Did I misunderstand you?Originally posted by Drogue
No, but why would that matter? All I said was that it's far more important to remove poverty than it is to make everyone equal. Quality is nice, but I'd rather half the population were millionaires and the other half lived comfortably than everyone lived comfortably.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ...

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

education and articulation is not the cause of wide spread terrorism it is the cause of some chaos that is because the more you learn the more you believe in the need of change look back to the things that happened in china the students caused the uprising at the square a few years back however they were fighting for their futures not those of the elderly goverment officials whos future has already been decided its all about changeWhen you find yourself arguing with an idiot, you might want to rethink who the idiot really is.

But that's just going to lower wages in the developed world and make the gap greater, because the rich will benefit.Originally posted by Drogue

That wouldn't matter. Removing poverty means the terrorists can afford an army, thus any peace agreement would be nearer fair, as both sides would be armed. If the Palestinians were rich, they'd have their own country by now.
wealth doesn't appear out of nowhere. "could afford" how exactly? win the lottery? They don't have the economic infrastructure, and don't have a societal infrastructure for indpendently creating modern amounts of wealth.

Did you watch the CNN show about Saudi Arabia and Al Qaeda? According to that show Al Qaeda mostly recruits from the lower class, and of course Palestinians can't be considered middle class.
