Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

I've just been having this discussion with the team here the other day and apparently Brazilian customs are a nightmare and they often have to "grease the wheels" to get stuff through before it has so little shelf life left that it is effectively useless.Originally posted by -Jrabbit View PostSpeaking of Erith:

Well our percentage appears to be very low. I'm surprised with the recent politicians we have had who are more bent than FIFA...Speaking of Erith:

I think this is the poll for regular people, and not special interests... after 15 years in UK, did not have to bribe anyone, not a single time to get anything done... even though getting things done in UK is often so dreadfully slow and inefficient that reintroducing bribing might be a good idea to actually get some incentive back into the system... in any case, as it is 1% sounds about right...Socrates: "Good is That at which all things aim, If one knows what the good is, one will always do what is good."

when i was in the ice cream business i encountered practices which i would describe as corrupt. nothing involving me personally (as i explained to the judge!), but apart from that, never really encoutered anything."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

The ice cream business is a notoriously criminal, though."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Frankly the US number should be far higher. Corruption and bribery is so ingrained in your political culture that you've given it a euphemism: "lobbying".

Yes, political corruption makes a far larger impact on the country.
Who cares if Bobby can get out of a speeding ticket by giving head to a guy from CHiPs.
The real problem is that the US is having laws passed not in the interest of its citizens, but because wealthy corporate interests bribe THEIR "representatives"."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I encounter bribery and corruption on a daily basis. I am starting to get prejudiced against certain groups because of it too.

If we got rid of campaign finance reform (McCain-Feingold) the problem would virtually go awayIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
