Chavez steals millions from foreign companies.

I don't have to turn it into a positive. It already is. We got some oil fields. It's as simple as that.

Yep. "You" sure do.

And production is dropping.

And despite dear leader's flawless communist manifesto, he's still struggling with basic infrastructure problems.

Problems that he didn't make any easier with his heavy handedness.

Care to make a wager on the condition of the country by the time of your hero's death?

You believe too many lies. Venezuela is doing well, and will continue to do well into the future. Get used to it.

You talk like you and Chavez are best friends or something. I'm sorry to break the news to you but your not in the click. Someone like you may be a tool or a nice propaganda piece to write about in the party paper but when it comes down to it your nothing to him or those like him. Your a spectator so "we" didn't do a damn thing. He did.

I sure you would like me to believe that.

It's kind of like when DanS says, "let the good times roll."

Okay....so put your money where your mouth is.

Let's make a bet.

We'll get MtG to be the judge?

What's the criteria?

[Velociryx]

Well, earlier I said that we ought to see what sort of shape the Big Red Wonder Boy has the country in by the time he's dead (or leaves office, but let's face it, they're prolly one and the same).

So let's build from that and see if we can come up with something.

Is there some sort of NGO that has an index for overall standard of living? There must be.

's a good thought, Arrian, and I agree. You'd certainly think there would be!

Att Ordin

You're Danish!?

How about Denmark did the samt thing? Danish oil fields are exploited by Mærsk - a company that is more multinational than Danish and doesn't pay real tax anyway. But no, Denmark has a weak ass neo-capitalist crap government so no chance in Hell for justice.

Natural resources - be it oil, genes, gold, whatever - is not something for companies to make profits for the rich off. It's in my opinion not even something humanity can exploit without paying back to Earth. But by the lack of proper ethics, at the least it must be public domain!

By the way: did you know Saddam Hussein banned private ownership of natural resources? That included genes. And actually Iraq invented civilization as we know it when they invented agriculture and bred the crops we all live off to this day. But Monsanto cannot make bucks off that, so they paid a couple of TV adds for Bush and had him invade Iraq. Bush never gave a damn about starving Kurds. Bush knew exactly what weapons Saddam had, because the US sold them themselves. The war on Iraq is Corporate Republic USAs conquest of a couple of tiles of natural resources to feed a starving economy. Read more in this article if still not convinced.
