yeah big American corporations are nasty evil companies.

that's why the BIG corporation I work for, investing in its sales force, just gave us (80,000 employees in the USA) a $4,000/year raise. for doing nothing.

oh, and they donated millions to the tsunami fund, and various other non-profit educational programs, etc. oh, almost forgot. they match 1for1 donations made by their employees.

how about listing some good that such corporations do?

thank you.

If you people want to know about evil corporations, there's not a better example than the IMF - The International Monetary Fund. It exists to lend money to developing countries, and then uses social and political controls to get their govt's to cut basic programs like healthcare/education and to allow their laws for foreign investment and ownership. I see it as obvious thievery.

Originally posted by beats and beeps Yeah well, judging by this gigantic paragraph, you wouldn't have the capacity to grow your own food, build your own house, car, and all that other shit. You're just some stupid gimp who likes to talk about how horrible corporations are, but yet you give thousands of dollars a year to them. Look at that hair do you have there, what corporation supplied you with that retarded amount of gel? If you have a thing against corporations, move to an extremely isolated area, and live for your fucking self. Deep down you don't want to, because you couldn't and you know damn well you wouldnt want to, so either get the fuck out of north america, or else go back to sucking on a big corporate dick like the rest of us. Its nice that you can act like someone my age (a fucked up angst filled 16 year old) and talk a whole bunch of shit, but you don't act.

You guys fuck...I don't act? What the hell do you do? Anyway, I dont know why I even thought for a second I wouldn't get a handful of answers like that. I'm not saying I completely fuckin renounce corporations, cuz obviously that's impossible in the world today, they're in every aspect of our lives. Of course what I wear, how I look is all a product of the images they show us, but that goes for everyone. So calm the fuck down...I'm just saying how it is. It's a corporate world and of course you have to accept that, cuz that's all there is. But if you look at the root of it all it's all fueled by money and greed. And if you guys think that's such a good thing, then go right ahead. But it doesn't hurt to take a second to question these things that everyone just blindly accepts "cuz that's the way it is." Amazing that people would go on such an offensive defending their corporations.

Putting Coke's corrossiveness into perspective:

There's this shit that your stomach lining secretes. It's called hydrochloric acid and it has a pH of about 1.4.

he bought it
i mean, its ok to buy a computer once in a 2-3 years and its ok to not buy the most popular product, if you follow the technology and trends you're fucked up...personally i can live with out them, ppl did this for thousand of years....some villages here (yeah, in 2005, with 10-15 residents) dont even have electricity, phone or any other shit, they are farmers, they eat their own stuff they drink water from mountain springs, and their average age is a lot more than the people who live in the town, go tell them about coca cola and microsoft

It's not so much the products of the companies that's the problem. I mean, if nobody bought the products then the companies wouldn't exist and this debate would be a non-starter. It's their attitude, the secrets and lies that sucks.

So this is just another worshipping thread of the movie The Corporation? That's about as close to socialistic propaganda you can get...


Sure, Coca-Cola, Pfizer and all other employment and wealth generating institutions are as worse as Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin, Lenin etc, blabla.
