There is this neat feature GFY has called the IGNORE feature try using it.

Actually I have lived in Illinois, Florida and Tennessee. About 1300 miles difference from the northern most point I've lived to the southern most. I would hazzard a guess most if not ALL countires in Europe are not 1300 miles across. Once agian quit making this an "You hate Euros" thread because were not even talking about Europe you dumbass.

Oh yeah so what you are saying is that you support 9 year old children being used as slave labor? And don't even think to tell me that shit doesn't go on in some of these countries.

since you dont seem to understand... we have a free market. that means that companies are free to hire anyone they choose and act anyway they want within the law. there must be some reason the US economy is the most successful on the planet. i am not saying anything is perfect.... but the US, before any other country is going to have most of the 20 first companies valued in the trillions.

if you don't like the rules of the game... then focus your attention on trying to change the rules of the game. don't give us all this romantic BS about how things should be in the perfect world you and Alec Baldwin are striving to create. I am sure children will never cry in Baldwinia... sounds great!! hahaha.

and you know what? the game of economics is no longer about a free market. its about a global economy and global competition and competing with other global companies on a global playing field. giving other countries a competitive edge over US companies with your antiquated Marxist ideas (i.e. not subjecting them to the same restraints you would wish on US companies) is not going to create jobs either. its going to cripple the economy and certainly deprive everyone of the chance at living in your perfect world full of teddy bears, hugs and roses.

The fleecing of America continues. What a shame.
