Not really a capitalist society though is it? It's more of a socialist mixed with fascistic society, where capatilism is used to feed the parasitic classes.

I got utterly confused for some time there.... That wasn't "Twichaldinho" that said that it was "cisco", a minor point you could say, unless someone was trying to feed the flames of an already hotly debated subject.....

"Mr_Gav", will you be including those parasites at the top of the tree who suck the life blood out of many, many members of society? Cause them parasites get everywhere.....

Parasites include bankers, civil servants, companies using state power to quell competition, welfare dependants, even some scientists. Not that they're automatically bad people for it, some are just trying to make a living or are just taking advantage of the system that's in place.

What about the LA riots ? I seem to remember seeing plenty looting during that
For sure. You also saw this in Korea town!
