Media sensationalism is par for the course. Taking sensationalism seriously takes skill.Originally posted by OzzyKP View PostThe article made a bigger deal out of the 11% than was warranted as well. Che isn't really out of step with the BBC."You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

Che is a spasmatic communist though, not a spasmatic socialist.Originally posted by dannubis View PostChe, socialism is a form of capitalism since the aim is to generate capital and then redistribute it according to the need of society. You understand this right ?A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

I'd think that the "everybody works but me" economic system would come out on top, but that wouldn't explain why communism (extrapolated from this article as "capitalism is awful" = "communism is awesome") scores as low as it does.Originally posted by rah View PostI'd be more interested how other forms would stack up in a poll.<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

The main point has been addressed-- The poll questions are such that even I, generally a supporter of capitalism would pick the " has problems that needs to be addressed"-- I am not blind to the inherent issues with a capitalist system nor with the problems that arise in any given country with how that country regulates things.
So the 11% number is a garbage number. The more interesting number is the % that thing capitalism is fatally flawed.You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto Luongo
