(...if any of you would just read the damn article, you'd see that rape is not the main point!...) Anyway, interesting observation: attempted rape happens all the time in the animal kingdom. The difference is that most animals don't have the ability to subdue their female counterparts. If any...

I would imagine that by investing money in "safe places", a person helps his country by keeping that money in reserve for possible future investment in his own county. Five years from now, for example, struggling, but deserving, Company XYZ may someday meet investor 123, who still has money...

Where is this thread even going? As a "Devil's Advocate", the OP should pick an issue, define it, talk about it and then conclude it, whether it be in favor of system A,B,C etc. or "unresolved". Yet even the word "socialism" keeps changing in this thread. It seems as if many of the arguments...
