		<description>#32, Jumping threads doesn&#039;t alleviate your responsibility to answer why you would sacrifice others to save your wife.

When you answer that, you&#039;ll have the opportunity to indulge in intelligent discourse with your peers.</description>

		<description>#31, Loser,

Just another indication of the walls in your mother&#039;s basement impinging your knowledge.

&lt;b&gt;Business Management 101&lt;/b&gt;
Any manager that does not plan is doomed to fail. Any manager that doesn&#039;t understand the importance of planning deserves to be fired, the sooner the better. 

The best analogy is the football team that runs plays against the team that just snaps the ball and hopes something opens up. Neither team knows everything the other team will do. Which team do you think would win?

Any person that belittles, denies, or refutes the importance of planning needs someone like their mommy handling their life for them. Obviously they would be incapable of managing their own life.</description>

		<description>#30, &lt;i&gt;Central planning sounds great but it always fails because the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray and most plans are poorly laid to start with and the crooks take over.&lt;/i&gt;

Not to mention it is impossible to know everything that is going on in the market, thus any decision you make will be based on faulty information.

To think otherwise is hubris.</description>

		<description>The people running these countries and our country all have the same problems: incompetence, greed, partisanship, a complete lack of ethics, etc... 

Capitalism needs to be policed but not chopped up and deep fried. You try to pull to much out of the system and put up to many barriers it will never amount to jack. The really bad news is nothing else is going to work even a tenth as well.

		<description>Oh, they&#039;re communists! Gee whiz, I thought you told me they were fascists. It&#039;s comforting to know that life is full of easy answers.</description>

		<description>Quick thoughts...
1. I would love to see the same poll in US and other western countries. Including how much it has changed since 1991.
2. I imagine a significant portion of the respondents to the poll now do not even remember, or were very young under, communist rule.
3. Because propaganda in communist countries was forced, the people there still have a natural distrust of it while here in US, because propaganda is part of &quot;free press,&quot; we internalize it much more easily.</description>

		<description>Two serious flaws with countries complaining about &quot;Democracy and Capitlaisim,&quot;   The World has never seen real Capitalism, saying that we have is just lies and propaganda it&#039;s a Corporate Oligarchy.

Oh and Democracy is a lie too.  What&#039;s the point of the people voting when corporations just give the politicians prostitutes and drugs and get whatever they want past for their benefit. 

So basically here in a America, we&#039;ve been lied to about what our government really stands for our entire life.</description>

		<description>#17 i know it is true, but the good news is that this is typical for the older generation so the future is bright ... one might think. the new generation is all for capitalism and democracy (or at least things they see on the &quot;west&quot;). The problem nowadays is the nationalism. In the summer the slovak-hungarian relations escalated close to a conflict. starting with ridiculous verbal provocations until the time when slovakia prevented the hungarian president to enter slovakia. with these &quot;puppet theater&quot; we hide the real problems.</description>

		<description>#19: Winston -
“It’s all a matter of unreasonable expectations.”

Exactly! They expect true democracy and capitalism and what they get, invariably, is an oligarchy run facade of democracy and crony capitalism, just as in the US. Meet the new boss, similar to the old boss (but wearing Levis).
 For the win! Bravo!</description>
