Corporations are psychopaths...

I've just finished watching 'Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room'. It's not as entertaining as 'The Corporation', but it does provide a perfect real-life example of a corporation acting like a psychopath.

The California energy crisis situation alone marks them down as bad, bad people. Then, when you couple that with Lay's close relationship with ol' Dubya - Lay was mooted for the position of Secretary of Energy(!) - and his meetings with Arnie prior to his election to office, you've got yourself a huge, stinking example of the shit at the heart of the ol' US of A.

I agree and just imagine some of the dirt you could uncover elsewhere if these types of documentaries were aloud to be created and released.

Yeah, that'd be great! However, I only see one nation proclaiming to the rest of the world that theirs is the way, the truth and lie...I mean 'life'.

The...the corperations! They're...they're being all corperationy!

I pledge defiance

to the flag

of the united states

of Corporations

and to the dictatorship

for which it stands

one Nation under Money,

divisible, with liberty

and justice

for the wealthy

It's sad that that is a pertinent indictment of their nature.

Actually, I believe it's a quote from Team America mocking the demonization of corperations.

Innately, it's also a demonization of corporations.

Well, in the film it was said by someone who was a complete idiot. Which is more or less what Trey and Matt seem to believe make up the bulk people hating corperations. I can't help but agree with them.

Admittedly, I am an idiot, but those South Park dudes attack anything and everything. Indeed, they've attacked corporate America before, so I hardly think they're staunch supporters of the likes of Enron, et al.

True, they do attack everything, but usually their attacks are based on something, and this is where a lot of people seem to falter in their hatred of corperations, which is made glaringly clear by the joke I quoted. A lot of people seem to hate them and not even know why, listing vague, unknowingly silly reasons all while wearing their GAP T-Shirt and Levis jeans, and driving home in their Ford or Toyota automobile to their Panasonic TV and Dell computer powered by a Microsoft Operating System.

I'm sure some people have good reasons for genuinely disliking corperations, most just follow the fad and list reasons that are as stupid as the statement I quoted from Team America.

And younobestupid, I wasn't referring to you, since you seem to have knowledge about the subject, just saying people in general who shit on corperations inbetween sips of their Starbucks Coffee are stupid.

Yeah, true dat. The main target of Stone and Parker are people who take themselves too seriously, which is nice.

It's actually pretty tough to live without owning/supporting any corporations, but this doesn't mean that people shouldn't attack the ones that are found out to be rogues. I try to steer clear of some of the big baddies, but I'm in no way totally independent. It's the nature of modern life.

You're wrong about one thing though, I am stupido. It's fun being an idiot.

Oh. I feel asleep during that movie. Maybe I missed that part.

You fell asleep during that movie with me. 😄

On your shoulder? Sniff, that's...just...too...beautiful.

As long as the time management suit as well as recycling burgers goes into effect I feel the movie has had a positive impact and will soon increase time efficiency as well as ending world hunger.

No, I'm pretty sure it was one of those rubber necked turkey bob situations.

Actually, I think he woke me up.

Puntuation and some grammatical editing would probably help get your meaning across.

😆 Thanks Victor

I used to think socialism was bad (in theory it's good, it's just human nature that limits it), but when I read your message, I was struck by lightning. I knew corporations had a whacked-out mindset, but you managed to remind all of us just truly how horrid something that is part of everyday life can be...
