That's pure crap, but than again it's Japan. It will be 40 years down the road before I see anything like that coming around to my neighborhood due to captalistic america. Also wtf is up with not being able to copy anything? There will always be ways. If I pay for it, and it comes into my living room, I am allowed to copy it for my personal use.

Haha, capitalistic America? Lol, what the hell do you think Hong Kong is?
Their form of capitalism is, in fact, more pure than ours. But go on hating America, it is the socially acceptable thing to do nowadays.
You should blame our over-grown federal government for our nation's failings... not the economic system.

More pure then ours? You mean Censorship and Oppression?
Almost all of the newspaper and television reporters in Hong Kong who remotly questioned the party or the government where forced out by government appointed editors.
And as for our over-grown federal government uhmmm, it isn't by any means over-grown, just take a look at Western Europe where the government regulates everything from education to housing. Oh and Economicly they are kicking our butts right now. Something to do with an educated work force who are in decent health and have job security or something... |

As I have said before, and will say again, governmental systems != economic systems. But to the point, yes Hong Kong is losing more and more freedoms and will eventually no longer be a symbol for capitalistic prosperity. At one point Hong Kong was one of the most successful economies in the world, being only 23 square miles. That is quite a feat...

I'm sorry, did I miss the part where the E.U. economy is better off than ours?
"Unless Europe quickly learns to innovate and adopt new technologies, its standard of living will fall ever further behind the US, the European Commission has warned. " »news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1670599.stm
"The European Union's economic growth has slowed to zero, new data indicated Thursday, fuelling fears of a slide towards recession, already confirmed in EU heavyweight Germany."
»www.eubusiness.com/imported/2003/05/110253
Hmm, I guess that is why millions (»www.census.gov/prod/2003pubs/p20-539.pdf) still migrate to the U.S. every year.
God, it sucks to live in America. Just keep repeating the socialist credo to yourself...

Odd that, Sweden seemed to be doing fairly well as we Holland. And the Euro is still valued higher then the dollar.
Not to mention that while economic growth has started again in the US we are still not creating a large number of jobs, except at the bottom. (»money.cnn.com/2003/10/30/news/economy/gdp/)
Immigrants are coming to the United States is from where? And yes, many, many are moving to other countries as well.
And this isn't about socialism though just pointing out that our government by comparison is small. |

Holland -
"Real GDP growth in the first quarter of 2001 was -0.2% in 2001 and -1.2% in 2002. Tortal consumer expenditure is declining, investment in fixed assets is negative, and the inflation rate is 2.0% or 2.1%."
»www.mail-archive.com/marxism@lis···556.html
Netherlands -
"Economic growth Q3 in 2003: -1.1%
In the third quarter of 2003 the Dutch economy saw a negative growth of 1.1% compared to the same quarter of 2002. The decrease in volume of the gross domestic product (GDP) is almost equal to the decrease in the second quarter. After adjustments for seasonal and calendar effects, third quarter GDP increased by 0.1% on the second quarter."
»www.cbs.nl/en/publications/artic···1-03.htm
Sweden -
"The Government was successful in its objective of halving open unemployment to 4% by the end of 2000. However, the figure rose above 5% again at the beginning of 2003 due to the unfavourable state of the international economy."
And about the great health?
"An ever-growing problem is the steep rise in the numbers of people with long-term illnesses (currently more than 5% of the workforce), which puts a burden on state coffers while undermining the successes attained in combating unemployment."

Say what you want about the United States... the grass is always greener on the other side. Give it a try.

hate to break your bubble
immigration to the us is down
especially from international students on which universities depend to pay higher fees so their programs can survive. UK, Canada and Germany are registering 30% increases over the last year of new international students.
even the green card lottery saw a plunge of around 40% from 13 million to just 8.4
also many who come here, come to work, save money and then go home |
