Economics and China

[Taem]

But outside of that, you make some comments at times that are truly mean spirited and lack any empathy toward those who are poor and/or oppressed. I don't know if this is really a reflection of how you truly feel, or if its just a poor selection of words, but it really pisses me off. Victim blaming and demonizing anyone who is oppressed (whether workers, the poor, women, minorities, refugees, those who have gay/lesbian/bi/or transgender orientations, etc) is one of my hot buttons, perhaps my biggest one. Additionally, while I realize that is a cold harsh reality that people hold these deplorable views, it is nevertheless unsettling if not downright depressing to me.

I don't. It is some fiction you've invented, or misinterpreted what I've said.

You want to know something funny Kath? I originally thought FIT was a pseudonym you posted under to keep the forums "alive" and "fresh" with debate. I've come to realize that's far from the truth. I really dislike how every thread FIT posts in eventually devolve into the merits of Marxism vs Capitalists; I think I'll make it a new law called 'FIT's Law', similar in principle to Godwin's Law, that states, "any thread in which FIT posts in, given enough time, will eventually devolve into..." you get the idea.

@FIT: I very much dislike how you refuse to Reply to the poster directly instead of the thread so I can't see the thread properly in threaded view, but I suppose this is just a matter of preference.

I really don't want to engage in /this/ frivolous sub-thread conversation... again, so peace out my brothers. I just wanted to mention my observations while they were fresh in my mind.
