Capitalism "from the rant thread"

Postby one love » June 21st, 2008, 4:10 am

this was my last post from that thread, I did not want it hijacked so bad.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
people who blame everything on capitalism when in fact it is what made this country so rich and great. Notice china's recent success by actually letting people have buisness, they may still get a piece of the ownership but this is why they are the fastest growing economy.
Second when one complains about capitalism they never give the correct way in there opinion, all they say is "i am not liberal or a democrat" HUH so what is your view?
One would have to wonder or assume that a more socialist approach is your opinion. Kinda like "steal from the rich and give to the poor"
I would like a answer of the opposite side and would enjoy the debate.
I play nice and will not insult, I also am open to other views so I will start a new thread.

I'm not "the opposite side," but I'll play. You want me to play Devil's advocate for the folks you're complaining about or challenge your notions of Capitalism/Socialism?
For the truth that lies at the heart of theology is not something there to be discovered, but something, or rather someone, to whom we must surrender. The mystery of faith is not ultimately something that invites our questioning, but something that questions us.

Both show me the positves of liberalism/socailism because they are not far off. Next show me how capitalism has not done a better job in building this nation then govermental programs.

I really want you to play devils advocate, I ma looking for an honest answer and reply from an opposing view.

If you could also tell me why not to drill for oil.

Thanks Brother I appreciate you jumping in here :wink:

Define your terms, please, sir.
