Capitalism + China = New Freedoms

The 3 Colors aren't fantastic. Watched them around 94 or so, on LD. Not the easiest movies to follow, which is par for the Euro movies.

Well, three colours is hard to understand for the most part. Hell it is even hard to see how all three films are related.

Italian movies are very strong, too.

I love "Cinema Paradiso"...

Ah, from news of Chinese rights to a debate on European films.

Only at TNL.

China + Capitalism = Even More Lost American Jobs And Stagnant Wages For American Workers. Sweet!

[Fe 26]

yeah, fuck morality and what is right. Things are only good when we get our own rocks off. Fuck everyone else.

Eh?

Now that capitalist entrepreneurs (sweat shop owners) drive China's economy, they can get ammendments like this passed. Where there's money there's power, and Chinese entrepreneurs are changing the face of politics in their country by virtue of the huge sums of money they're making off of the backs of poor, uneducated slave labor. They still don't give a flying fuck about human rights, but hey, they're capitalists just like we are! Hooray!

The only difference between that and how it used to be is who gets the money. Indivuals in this case, not the government.

The PRC Leadership has been even more ruthless, using prision slave labor as unpaid workers and putting 10% of all income into the millitary.

Capitalizim isn't going to change that too much, but it's at least a step in the right direction away from legalized state slavery.

I'd love to go to France one day, my dad went to Paris a couple years ago and from the pictures I saw and stories I heard its an amazing place. I doubt the people would meet all the fucking stereotypes that some people *looking at you Mike* throw on them - yes there may be some assholes in France but there's probably loads of good people too. Same thing with the United States, I know alot of good, good people - but I know double the amount of assholes. Doesn't mean I hate the United States. Its the same everywhere you go I'd bet.
