Re: InterstingArtikel
Have you considered posting in a few words what would be the topic of that article, so that those who may care may indeed see that they care?
When you link to an article, it is also recommended to post your own reactions and thoughts, so as to ignite the flam.. the discussion.

Re: InterstingArtikel
AN interesting article about the insides of the crisis in the US.
Ultimately though we see that the root of all these troubles is the complete lack of understanding of the situation from the majority of people and the complete lack of power to change anything once they do understand.
Why don't people know?because the news media does not emphasize serious matters.
Why not?because it is mainly controlled by the same kind of people which are a small group and which care about profit as any corporation should....
All the problems of a democracy including this problem are all results of poorly informed population with not enough power to do whats right for the majority.
This way of making business,when huge corporations are controlled by several shareholders is obviously flawed as any system giving a lot of power to the few.
All companies must be owned at least partially by workers and a "quasi democratic" relation must be established in all sectors of life including business.
We abolished political tyrannies just to face a different kind which we must now abolish as well.
What i mean is a new "anti monopoly" rule over property.
If i start a company and i hire employees they must share ownership of the company with me to some extant not just slaving under me....

Re: InterstingArtikel
quick tldr : if the US in its current state asked the IMF for help, they would give the same advice they did to emerging countries: break the financial oligarchy and nationalize the banks. only problem is that US is much better off than emerging countries thus it can also get by with no reforms in the short run, but that is bad.
one sentence i liked a lot: any company to big to fail is to big to exist.
i liked the article

Due, to English not beeing my native tongue, i could have never sumupsaid it the way GOTA did it.
Tuesdays MagReview had something else in the Harvest- and this time i will try harder to deliver a better description.
http://www.commonwealmagazine.org/artic ... ticle=2488
It┬┤s an Article over Religion, Culture & Civilisation, and were they clash, overlay and contribute to each other. It is long, and it is increasingly dialectic, which is in my Opinion a bad thing, as the constant struggle vor synthesis of Antipolar Ideas uses more Intellectual Work up, than it really Contributes new Ideas. Bitchfight of Arguments&Reason produces better Results.
Best Sentence in it i found:
"An appeal to culture becomes a way of absolving us to some extent from moral responsibility as well as from rational argument. Just as it is part of their way of life to dig traps for tigers, so it is part of our way of life to manufacture cruise missiles."
Sorry for Typos, i┬┤m tired

Re: InterstingArtikel
Pretty complex..
But i guess i agree...
It is obvious that the religious ideas and religion itself is not what is "evil".
People are evil and we need to face it...
I guess that is pretty much a rough summery of this entire article...
I also agree that absorbing a culture into another basically means to mix both of them and that to create a whole from many people you must first find common grounds and agree on them.
That's not new.
But as an agnostic and as someone living under the shadow of extreme Islam it will be hard for me to accept
the Arab/Muslim culture/religion and live side by side with it(although to an extant i have been exposed to it more than the average European or American).
I suppose after Europe went into the melting pot during WW2 and came out more wholesome in 1989,it is time
to go into another melting pot this time on a much larger scale that might just include the entire world at once.
I just hope that to melt in one pot the world does not require a WW3.
