Suppose the U.S. passed a law that forbid the importation of any goods produced by foreigners working in conditions that do not meet American standards of fairness. Furthermore, it would forbid aid to any regime which does not actively work towards improving working conditions to meet American standards.

Would this effort to fight sweatshop labor be an imposition of American cultural and economic values on others, constituting a form of imperialism? Would you fight this form of imperialism, or would you accept it as "benign" imperialism...a sort of new form of the "white man's burden"?

Since 9/11, haven't the airlines and the government gotten ridiculously paranoid?

http://blogs.usatoday.com/sky/2006/07/monique.html

Seriously, what is wrong with these people? I don't think the stewardess was being racist, but I do think some of them have gotten really aggressive and nasty towards paying customers. I was on a flight from LA to Chicago in 2004 after a sleepless 14-hour flight from Australia. This stewardess freaked out about my carry-on bag being underneath my seat, and demanded I put it in the overhead bin. It had my magazines, food and everything, and I had basically taken like 5 legs of flights to go to Australia with no problem before then.

I feel 9/11 basically is not an excuse to treat the average traveler, if not person like dirt. We should not have to pay everyday for one day of terror. It's a shame you can't tell some of these stewardesses off, because then they'll call the cops like little children. From what I've seen, the law seems to side with them most times too, which is a shame.

Is anyone here in doubt that this war in the M.East was contrived by the USA?

In his mistaken 'war against terror', the born again Christian does not have any compunction for Mass Murder and Genocide.

What's with so many of the christians on here?

why are so many of the christians on here so freaking intolerent on here, i see so much anti gay crap on here from "christians" but its not just anti gay...an example, i asked the question "what is the difference beteween black metal death metal and thrash metal?"

i got this answer..."none,they all are of Satan and condemned to eternal damnation in Hell."

so anything a christian dosent like is condemned to hell and of satan (and for the record i know of some christian metal bands such as Zao, Tourniquet, Stavesacre, Petra, Project 86 and more...)

so my question is why are so many of the christians on here so ******* intolerent of what they dont like/understand and try to use theyre religion as an excuse to what they dont like, why cant they just leave it alone

Who's with me?

We universally (or bilaterally, should I say) boycott chimp's questions, thereby denying him the satisfaction and he can go back to his nintendo.

All sides agree he brings nothing to the table, I'm sure. I know it will be hard to break with the enjoyment of insulting him, but I'll try if you will.
