Top 2 examples of U.S. foreign depravity/hypocrisy This is really a top 10, but I have an early morning and time isn't abundant right now...I'll post the next part tomorrow. There are an infinite number, but I've decided on 10, and these 2 aren't necessarily the top-top 2, but up there. 1. NSC-68: in April of 1950 this document outlined plans to "foster the seeds of destruction within the Soviet system." The means? Reinhard Gehlen, head of Nazi military intelligence on the Eastern front, was put in charge of the espionage service in West Rating: 5

You are a perfect example of the mindset that allows exploitation, the thing is I'll bet you would have a sharp change of mind should the roles ever be reversed.
Sad is true, sad that so many selfish people have an "I'm alright ,screw you" attitude.

Selfish? I recylcle and donated to 4 charities on my taxes last year? Im just saying they need to pay more attention to the patterns on the AirMax stitches, mine fell apart.

I fail to see your point as I am hardly my birthplaces decision maker.
I hate both the US and British goverments for thier hypocrisy and greed.
The west could never sell goods so cheaply if they weren't made as cheap as possible, thus the existence of sweatshops in "third world" countries.
The same politicians who allow such business practices then point to other countries and declare that imports are destroying home grown business :wtf:

The habit of supporting puppet tyrants via very murky deals is something both Europe and the US and have had a hand in.

BTW I do not consider myself British ,I am English.
Just in case you don't know, there is a difference. :thumbsup:

Calm down. You can trace my Granny's maiden name Manley back to the 1400's England. I kived in London with my gay cousin for a year before i went to college. Your a Brit or a Englishman, whatever floats your boat dude. I'm no unculcultured, untraveled, uneducated Yankee I can promise you.

I do my part, my wife drives a silly prius, I gladly pay taxes, recycle. Im all for low impact and America doing more globally, no biggie. I work hard offshore and deserve to splurge on whatever I want. I like shoes, expensive shoes. And I like big huge LCD'S for every room in my energy efficent, modest, 2200 sqaure foot house I live in w my wife and 2 kids and protect with 3 handguns. We do all that and guess what, kids are still gonna work for a little more than the other kids at sweatshops in India. I look out for my family my way, and you look out for yours your way. Neither is wrong. I just know that it's not gonna stop so I dont lose any sleep over it. I better stop now, my carbon footprint is gonna smother some poor baby in IndoChina.
