We've been helping Afghanistan even before September 11th. Explain something mate - are you upset that you don't have our way of life or are you upset that we're proud of who we are and proud to say "I'm an American"? Hey, I can't control what Nike does. All I can say is, if you don't like it, don't buy shoes from them. It's kinda like smoking - sueing the tobacco companies is ridiculous. The simple solution is to, STOP SMOKING.

It's easy for a rich fat cat to dispense a few coins to keep the homeless happy. Better to do that and put them in a DEBT they will never recover from then to actually HELP them. EXAMPLE. American is shipping bags of rice (as you may have seen on the tv) to afganasta with USA plastered all over it. mmm.... interesting. Thats not propaganda, and that is DEFINATELY not messing with someone elses business.... No.... just trying to make the people feel that the CANDY comes from america and thus (just as the people in communist russia felt) they LOVE america... only problem is, when they are liberated etc, the don't actually get the american way of life, the just end up working for NIKE or some other american corporation that MOVES in and starts exploiting the cheap labour for american shareholders. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Howie Hamlin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 7:59 AM Subject: Re: The Anti Terrorism Act.. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Benjamin Falloon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 5:14 PM > Subject: Re: The Anti Terrorism Act.. > > > > In my oppinion being proud of your country is why makes wars possible. > > I think maybe concern for staving children in Africa is more constructive > > than national pride, but that's just my oppinion. > > > > The United States is the biggest provider of charity and relief in the World so I don't see how you can make that last statement. > Also, more wars have been fought and more people have died in the name of religion than national pride. > > Howie > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
