I was born and raised in the ghetto.
It took a bullet in my leg and a fucking prison sentence to make me realize everything you preach and believe in is bullshit and nothing more then excuses as to why one cant fly straight.
As far as I know you don't have enough shit under your belt to even have a valid opinion on this subject.
Although I will agree and say environment does play a role its FAR from an excuse to do nothing with ones life.
I'm an ex-con gangbanger that reformed him self, why cant others do the same?

A lot of them end up dead, or never get out of prison until it's too late. If you've been in prison, you should know damn well what it's like in there and how much of a challenge it is to stay mentally strong enough to get through it and not break.
You're very lucky and all the power to you for rising above all that shit, no one is trying to take that away from you or discredit your accomplishments, but you must realize not everyone born/raised under the same circumstances (or worse) will have the same opportunities and/or life changing experiences. You said it yourself - it took a bullet and prison for you to change - that's a fuckin lot, damn near death. I mean if one or two little things happened differently in your life, you wouldn't be where your at today. You could be dead, still in prison, still gangbangin, a crackhead, etc etc etc.

I get it, The majority of posters on this message board are sympathetic to criminals, and the majority believe that they [criminals] are entitled to what others have worked hard for. Its obvious posters here feel crime is justified.
You people are WRONG for having those beliefs and are contributing to the problem with your "entitlement" ideologies.
Now go rob some banks and use the same fucking excuses you use on this message board to justify your actions. You know the - "I'm from the ghetto and have nothing" excuse. Maybe you will get a sympathetic activist liberal judge who will concur.

When I was speaking on workers, especially in the third world, I meant mostly those in South America, Africa, and Asia. Yeah, they have no choice but to work now, because without that dollar they're done. The businesses know that, so they pay them that one dollar which isn't even enough to really live, but they know the workers can't do anything because they got to survive so things never change.
You talk about criminals and sticking fools up and shit, well maybe to you it aint robbery, but I think knowing you got a whole population by its balls and you making them work to make your company billions while you pay them enough to eat a meal a day and nothing more, that shit is criminal to me. Let's not talk about this profit sharing and retirement plans or even minimum wage. I'm talking about the billions of people making UNDER minimum wage because the western nations take all the cotton that is not only in their country, but they're also the ones picking it. Substitute that for fruit products, diamonds, gold, etc etc.
When a nation sends a man in to another nation, tells the leaders they got to privatize some industries and allow this many imports to compete in their country or face assassination/coup, and then the people's resources become owned by some westerner, I don't see how you don't think that's criminal. You over here gettin stupid on some motherfuckers on the block doing some petty ass shit. Meanwhile, you support rich motherfuckers who don't even need to do what they do going in and robbing billions of people?
You know it's fucked up when you got what should be public trains owned by an American company that sells the rights to use those trains back to the country in which the trains are run and charges a fucking royalty. How fucked is that?
I'm trynna figure you out freal, how is it that you talk shit on folks that's out there hangin slangin and bangin and you don't see a problem with what the corporations of the world are doing?
And you make no sense. There's no correlation between "remedial jobs" and mental retardation. What do you do for a living, that you look down on wage workers so much?
And those making minimum wage are for damn sure in a position to make demands. They just don't know it yet.

Living standards in ALL nations are dependent on what the average salary is. With that said, a pair of Jordan's in southern Mexico [for example] would be cheaper there then in the US because the wages are lower. The value of currency is dependent on the state of a nations economy.
How much one makes is irrelevant because money is only worth the paper its printed on.
Illegal aliens jump the boarder ALL the time to work in the US and head back to Mexico few years later wealthy and live like fat cats down there. Why? because 10 bucks US per hour is like $40-50 an hour in Mexico.
So your point is pretty much moot.
The major economic problem with countries in Africa is civil war. Wars are responsible for bad economic states.
Anyone can do unskilled work, that means those jobs aren't worth anything more then 10 bucks an hour because anyone can do that work. Now not anyone can be a CEO and not everyone is a skilled worker.
A person who has SKILLS is ALWAYS going to get paid more then a person with no skills.
What do you think? corporations are going to pay their unskilled workers the same as their skilled workers? It doesn't work like that.
You want to get paid? then learn a skill.
You're trying to argue that a remedial work is worth 50k a year ALL BECAUSE someone at the top of the pyramid is making millions.
The rest of what you said is a combination of half truths, propaganda and misinformation.

Furthermore I find it funny how most of you posters are extremely distrusting of the government but yet you support the idea of socialism and communism.
Would you folks rather have EVERYONE be poor and a bunch of politicians be rich?
The wealth of this nation needs to be cept secular from the government.

LOL I hadn't thought about that. Why do people think that if the government that they hate and distrust turned communist, that magically the government would turn nice.
The same types of people are drawn to power. Call that power "money" or "democracy" or "communism", it's the same type people running the show. Only with communism the gloves are off and they can serve up some mass executions any time folks get out of line.

This is a well documented fact and has happened many times. Here are a few instances. There have been plenty of books written about this with verifiable facts if you would like to check.

Here are a few quick examples I found where the CIA helped or orchestrated to overthrow democratically elected leaders and installed/supported dictators who backed U.S interests. Without installing these figureheads, it would have been impossible or very difficult to funnel the resources out of these countries.

I am not distrusting of the government because the government is inherently bad. What is bad is the almost absolute power that multi-national corporations flex over our government.
ABSOLUTELY! But these corporations are making politicians rich so that they can not only break the law and get away with it, but make the law and take the profits.
