How do you suppose we can have prosperity in the whole world? What would be the mechanism for private companies to have incentive and low risk to do business in third world countries? Imagine you are General Electric. What can you do within shareholder obligations?
Why not? We have enough resources for that. It's just a matter of having resources well distributed and peace.
Do you really think we can have global prosperity with the current system?
You are polluting the planet. Shame on you!
EVERYONE is polluting the planet. Bite me.
Third world countries would be great investments if not for the fact that their unstable governments provide a poor business environment and such governments are prone to nationalizing foriegn assets.

Not a good answer...suggest starting another thread on this topic. Then we can have some serious discussions.
Then you will never know if your theory of happiness and prosperity works then. *talking to sandy*
Face it, whenever that does happen on rare occasions, they make a movie about it! Ever seen "The pursuit of Happyness"?

Yes. Because, first of all, you are not a christian and second of all you know very well that your happiness and prosperity doesn't depend only on your mind. Do you know what we call people like that? A hypocrite.Yeah, right. Never.Gonna.Happen.
Yes. Like Sadam Hussein, who was put in power by the US. Or that other dictator in Indonesia, also put in power by the US. Or any dictator in south america in the 60s, also puppets of the US. Do you see a trend here?
Oh, and btw, our countries are great investments! We are still paying interest on the money our dictators so conveniently borrowed....
Not mind at all, you are correct. But simply what was given to one. If sandy is even rich. :bugeye:
You two don't get it. You never will. You will b!tch about being broke and sick and miserable your whole lives. I don't care anymore. I can lead a liberal to prosperity mentality, buy I can't make him accept it.
Of course I am not broke, I live in an upper-middle class family. I work extremely hard to maintain a 4.0 GPA in high-school, I take difficult classes (they seem to be my interest), and I am ready for what lies ahead of me.
What I have been trying to explain to you is that it is not just mentality that will get you financial success, it is having an opportunity come by you and you being able to identify it. I have friends whose families work 50 hours a week, one of my friend's mom works 40 hours while she is 8 months pregnant!! And they are just able to afford a small apartment. And you know what? They are happy.
