Human nature, lol. I kinda facepalmed that you resorted to that argument, though I'm not surprised as it is used often.
It is used because it is true.
Some are. Some aren't. That's the individual's character that decides whether he is or not.
deceitful, and manipulative
If it is criminal, then we have laws for that. Because man is not perfect.
In dealings with others, if someone is deceitful and manipulative... they're likely not to get far... unless of course they're in a closed society... a Communist Society breeds it like roaches.
I've never seen theft, deceit and liars as I have in former Commi countries. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote in the Gulag Archipelago... Communism robbed the Russian people of their soul, because it breeds what I stated above.
because that is what this Capitalistic society calls for.
There are greedy people in Capitalist societies, but it is your choice to deal withthem or not, and because the market offers a lot of alternatives, you are... Free to Choose... who you do business with. It helps shape behavior in a positive manner. That's why Americans have been amongst the happiest and most friendly people on this planet.
It puts greed and self interest ahead of everyone else.
Dealt with this above. Pure, unadulterated Bull-****.
In the Iroquois society they had no offical chain of hierarchy or no chance to have self betterment and competition was not needed. Their society survived until they were massacred by the colonial settlers.
What did they achieve to make society better? What was their great contribution to the advancement of man? Pissing in their drinking water?
Now we are able to provide more then enough for everyone if we don't throw away billions of dollars worth of goods like the Capitalists do instead of sharing them.
Commies tried this. It failed epically and miserably. Capitalism has inefficiencies, but far fewer than any other system.
Also if you take into account all the idleness that passes for work, example, businessmen, CEO's, secretaries etc. Though they may work it does not contribute to the making of a product.
It contributes to the company producing the product. If not, a bloated company won't last long. A competitor will eat their lunch. That's why government is as it is... a big, fat, slow, inefficient ooze. It doesn't compete, it just robs more wealth to pay for more inefficiencies.
Did you learn this crap in school? For the school you went to is detrimental to society. It's a poison factory.
Competition is unhealthy because it makes a rift in society.
Say what? ROTFLOL... rift in society? If you want to see a rift... go to any former commi country, the scars are still visible, and the dmage to the people's brains is sad.
People are pitted against each other. It is not natural.
????:shock:??????:shock:?????:shock:??? It's our nature to compete and seek better lives. It's why the black market in the former commi countries provided vital foodstuffs on a tiny percent of the land used for agriculture.
So the beer has improved. That was because the USSR was flawed. I do not think America should follow the USSR, I myself am NOT a Marxist. However, the beer can be of the upmost qualitity, just as an example, because the people work to help society and they know that once they finish their job they are promised everything they need to live, and often luxuries are secured as well.
Gibberish.
Also you using Russia today as better in Capitalism is laughable. The society is in absolute poverty.
No, it's not... and there is less poverty in these countries than before.
Less people have jobs because the West companies do not want competition.
Again. ???????????????
Western companies are moving into these countries because there is skilled labor and they are cheaper. It's why their standard of living has increased by leaps and bounds in 20-years.
The lunches in schools that were once free are now too expensive so often times most kids don't eat lunch.
Where do you get this crapola?
So I'm glad you think a beer tastes better, but think of the people living there not your petty wants.
The locals say the beer is better, the vodka is better, food is plentiful and fresh, cars are better and pollute less, homes are nicer, clothes are better, they have better medical care... SOAP, DEO AND TOOTHPASTE IS NOT LUXURY ITEMS ANYMORE!
This is why the US has the problems it has. People wholly ignorant about what makes society better, providing the greatest good to the greatest number.
Our school system is in dire need of reform, and the Journolists should be (insert your punishment) for committing crimes against humanity... for both are responsible for poisoning the minds of its citizens.
We'rereborn, yours is perhaps the saddest post I've read on DP. It's truly sickening.
PS. The computer you are on was the product of competition... if there wasn't competition, you'd be fetching water from some river in pails, and sitting in the outhouse doing that do-whack-a-doo you do so well.
