European Parliament Exposed

[Andres]

Andres, it doesn't matter who you put in office because every human is a greedy scumbag once the chance to be one arises. That's why capitalism works so well, because it uses the greedy scumbag in every human in an attempt to make everything work.

So, you are willing to accept this, because you believe every human being is the same: a greedy scumbag who'll grab whenever he can.

That is very cynical.

But if everybody would have that rather apathic attitude, because of his own conviction about the evilness of men, then our MEP's could just continue and go further and further, until you end up with a bunch of dictators who force you into slave labour for their benefit and execute you if you look funny at the picture of the puppet they put forward as the glorious leader.

Wasn't it you who said in an earlier thread that the Cyriots or Greeks didn't have the right to complain about their corrupt politicians, since they elected them themselves and thus only have themselves to blame? If you become apathic and just accept everything, then, by your own logic, you'll have no right to complain either when disaster strikes you personnally. By your own logic, you'll be to blame yourself, since you didn't care/were apathic.

EDIT: and capitalism doesn't work. If not controlled, it eventually leads to complete destruction of the majority of humankind.
