>Sounds awful. Are you implying that the "homeless guy" is the rest of the world that fails to appreciate the goodness showered upon it by the USA? If so, you need to travel more- start with France, Germany, Switzerland and Luxembourg.

We don't ask that the rest of the world appreciate our generosity. But taking handouts and then complaining about the U.S. intervening everywhere gets tiresome. It's pretty simple: if these countries don't want our aid, then don't take it.

>Huh? You said these people should say "no thanks" when offered these positions. I'm pointing out that this is unrealistic and that saying these people should be grateful for the chance to be slaves so our corporates can get fatter, isn't a particularly endearing trait.

No, I did not say that. I am saying that no one if forcing these people to take these jobs. Is that what you are saying? That somehow the evil US government conspiring with Wal Mart is forcing these people to take these jobs?

I won't defend Wal Mart. I would love to see these people working in better conditions, but put the blame where it lies: China.
