Let me tell you a story. I'm 53 years old. But, when I was a kid, a week wouldn't go by without seeing a whole host of commercials for "underpriveleged" agencies ... feeding the poor in, say, Africa or South America. And, these agencies would show heart-jerking photos of people living in squalor and deprivation. These agencies asked for money to help. And Americans gave, and gave, and gave, and gave ...

But, I can turn on my TV today and see updated versions of those very same commercials ... from the same agencies ... and the message hasn't changed. If 40 years of "sharing" with 3rd world countries hasn't fixed the problem, what will? And regarding the usa could learn something part, let me ask a question of everyone here. Name one other industrialized country in the world that gives as much (per capita) as we do to the poor in other countries? "USA could learn something" indeed (sheesh). It's comments like this that make people in the USA wonder if all their giving was for naught ... that no matter how much we DO give, it'll never be appreciated.

its so we don't have to pay for anything

C&#39;mon, REALITY - it&#39;s your duty as a responsible citizen to fileshare.

Ok, I&#39;m convinced, IT&#39;S MY DUTY...

and I get free shit too, right?

Poor REALITY ...

He seems to be one of those guys who believes it&#39;s our duty as citizens of Corporate US to be willing slaves. (Corporate US intends to includes the entire world as its servile subject - whoever resists is a traitor.)

... if it feels good and we&#39;re not paying a corporation for the privilage, then we must feel guilt and shame. Isn&#39;t that right, REALITY?

... anyhooo ...

do your bit to grind away at those shackles ...

... fileshare&#33;

:D

As long as there&#39;s a net gain for the West&#39;s enforced impoverishment and servility of the 3rd world, (with token charity to assuage guilt and somehow hint that it&#39;s "not our fault") - there will be poverty in the 3rd world.

I still know why I started filesharing &#33;
I&#39;m from Holland :a very densely populated country with one of the best
infrastructures and distributionnetworks in the world.
I simply felt ripped of by the recordstores when they were asking 20 euros
for a cd and about 45 euros for dvd&#39;s.
Compared to a lot of other countries this must be impossible and can only be caused
by price-fixing : so action causes reaction and I have no problems of being labeled as
an anarchist or thief (pot calls kettle black ?) :ph34r:

It&#39;s btw a shame that in the US the word socialism has such a bad ring ,sure there have
been bad examples in international history but then I feel ppl have been abusing
ideals for other reasons.
I&#39;d like to think of it as a dynamic concept :something to strive for even when mankind is not ready yet.

Name one other country that TAKES as much as the USA. The West treated Africa as it&#39;s own personal war arena, carved it up arbiterially, used the land for cash crops thereby fostering the dependancy that continues to this day, multi nationals still pay a pittence for raw materials and labour while exploiting Africa. The world economic and political institutions are weighted against Africa and pro-USA/Europe.
Against this, you really think your pitiful charity means a damn thing? Your 50 bucks a year might stop you having to think or worry about Africa, but every time you go to Wal-Mart and every time you vote, you are re-enforcing the system.
And thats without even mentioning the USA&#39;s activities in Latin America.
Sorry, but most in the world would be grateful if the USA/Europe did a lot less &#39;giving&#39; and do lot more to redress the systemic inbalance.

Yes I know this is nothing to do with filesharing :)

Holy Shit...

This post is heading to the SHITTER in a hurry.
