Globalization & free trade effects?

Question

When I watched the G-8 summit in Germany on CNN, I stunned, why do people demonstrate?
And when I realize the reasons... gosh how ignorant I am.

Why does our country keep spending billions of budgets on useless things like Bush's Cadillacs & wars, Hollywood movies, brand new hi-tech weapons, spysats, & warfares including Bush' plan to plant missile sites in eastern europe, and other billion dollars etcs like on Britney's rehab program or Billy Graham's evangilistic sh1t.

While other people suffer in Africa, Asia, and rest of world just for a 10 cent daily bread - which you don't even care if it tastes more like sh1t than french fries.

I once went to Costa Rica to fu(k some blonde spanish-mexican girls but damn there's no net there I can't YM! my friends to say they were hot, not even a little bit per second except in San Jose.

Have you ever imagined what it would be if only you were born in a poor-sh1t country? (where there's no net so you read this question)

Yes, but these conditions aren't fair for the poor people in the poor countries.

Answer 1

Free trade and free markets are what made those G-8 countries prosperous.

Corruption, lack of freedom, and poor gov't are what cause all those other countries to be poor. They are not poor because we are rich. They are poor because they don't have the freedom and culture to become prosperous themselves.

Update: So what if they aren't fair? The rich nations did not cause them to be poor.

You seem to imply that we can somehow bestow prosperity upon them. It doesn't work like that. We lifted ourselves out of poverty. They'll have to do the same. They have it easier, as they can study how we did it and implement a similar solution.

Look at China as an example. They were poor, saw communism was going nowhere as an economic system, adopted capitalism, and are now the fastest growing economy in the world, with rapidly growing properity for the people.
