"In a world where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, we are brainwashed via corporately owned news outlets (see: Fox News, any Murdoch newspaper) to blame each other for the situation instead of looking at those in power, those with the wealth cotrolling every thing. Profit is increasingly becoming a dirty word. Or at least it should be."
Oh-My-Blam!ing-God... *sigh* You, my dear friend, are brainwashed. You damn well better look towards those in power. Because those Big Government Liberals in power are brainwashing people to hate the current economic system. All the while passing Socialist policies and blaming their failure on our Capitalist system! However, when you demonize corporations and businesses that is what causes the poor to get poorer! They supply the jobs and if you don't like how the operate, you change it! Because the worker has the power to not work and the consumer has the power to not buy! I'm so sick of this BS where liberals scream "Fox News! Fox News! Fox News!"
"It is time to become a critical thinker..."
Lad... You need to practice what you preach.
"The power of consumer choice is a lie."
Laughable. Tell that to the poor families of the early 1900s that formed unions in protest of their bosses. They got what they wanted. They got fairer wages and better working conditions because they chose to do something.
"For a better understanding of how corporations have become so powerful Government cannot control them..."
You seriously believe that the government ought to control corporations instead of the private sector? You do realize that you just said that you want the rule of the few to lord over our businesses?
P.S. Russel Brand is a piece of hypocritical garbage! He disses the system that brought him his own economic prosperity. What a joke. You want a source of real facts look up Bill Whittle on the "PJ Media" channel on YouTube.
I've debated many like you. You're all the same.
Edit: Sense when did they replace common sense with "critical thinking?"

Honestly, just by reading this post, I can see that the only cesspool of ignorance here is your mind.
-
Oooooh! Good one.

I can see it was as you responded to it.

:P Now, that was good.

YOU again! *facepalm* Jesus Chrsit...

Please, no facepalm jokes. My family was killed by facepalms.

The OP is a pretentious ass, but stay on target here. The point is that we were sold Destiny, we bought into Destiny, based on the promises made to us about what it would be, the things we were shown and expected to be receiving for our cash. I bought it because of the plot I was promised, the freedom I was promised, the unique escapism that I was promised. We have been deceived by people who only care about dollars, not the quality of what they deliver. I'm not saying that Bungie is entirely blameless, I can't know, but I'm looking right at Activision, because they have a history of being the best at it. It's like we went to a car dealership and bought a knew car that was supposed to come with all of the bells and whistles. Everything we wanted was there in the test drive, and we liked what we saw, so we ponied up. Then they give us the keys and we discover that all we're getting is the base model. The GPS navigation is there, but we can't use it yet, we have to wait three months and then use an activation code. Same with the built in DVD player. The tinted windows will be shipped at a later date, again at an additional cost. Our 4WD system is only speculative at this point, but if we get it, it'll be more money, too. The really nice custom wheels on the car when we were shopping for it come in a locked glass case that gets bolted down in our garage so we can't ever put them on the car. All of this is stuff we were led to believe would come with the car. We thought we'd already paid for it. That's the point.

"...deceived by people who only care about dollars, not the quality of what they deliver." Now, I wouldn't say that. I simply see it as a huge mistake made during Bungie's development cycle. They will see the repercussions from their mistake within the market. They've suffered huge losses, I'm sure. Such a large budget and so little an outcome is sure to hurt them. Just look at the amount of complainers on here. Don't get me wrong, it's justified. Marty got fired and Joe left. That tells me that there had to be some kind of unrest behind the scenes.

I like how they hate corporations while at the same time complaining on a computer, in a home, with air conditioning and heat. Then hop in a car and buy food. Then expel the food on a toilet and maybe take a shower with water in a room that has light which is possible because of electricity. Then answer a phone call or get on a forum to complain some more about a corporation. FYI, all the above were brought to you by...corporations! Way to go, you are officially a hypocrite. Kinda like that moronic occupy movement that hates corporations, yet they all have cell phones and drink Starbucks coffee. Anybody figuring this out yet. lol. All the while, never once do these people complain about all the money they spent in college. A college that makes money just like a corporation. A college that conditioned you to hate corporations and "profit". Have you seen how much professors "profit" even at not for profit school? Let the hate flow thru you...
-
Sir, the occupy movement started out with righteous anger that over time was confiscated by the liberal hipster crowd you mentioned. Entire truck loads of books have been written about the 2007 economic collapse that was fueled and triggered by unregulated wall street pushers. The largest financial crimes of human history occurred and not a single person went to jail. THAT is what the original occupy movement was protesting and trying to bring attention to.
-
I'll concede the point Bio. You are correct that many people should be in jail. Since multiple politicians would be included in the number that get three hots and a cot, justice was never close to being served. And yeah, hipsters ruin everything they touch. ;)
-
This. You can't call out bad bankers or big business without being called a lefty or hippy. People are literally brainwashed and they don't realise.
-
No one ever said that. Demonizing EVERY bank and business is bad. People will call you out for that.
-
Pretty sure all the banks are profiteering scum. Money it self should not be a business.
-
You act like profit is a bad thing. Banks also give out loans and the like. Those are a necessity.
-
It is a bad thing. They suck all the wealth for the 1% and then, inevitably, get government bail outs every couple of decades. It's beyond a joke. And while loans are needed, profit (interest) on those loans is not. Making money from money ruins the economy because where do you think the money earned from that money comes from? They create it out of thin air balanced off no natural resource, such as gold. This is what causes inflation. The practise is called "Fiat Currecy" (Google it). Allow me to quote Jesus: "cast the money lenders from the temple".
-
I see where you're coming from.
-
"It's everybody's right to make a profit" even if it leaves other people dying and starving. It was also everybody's right to carry a gun no questions asked but we evolved and got rid of that stupid -blam!-ing idea.
-
"even if it leaves other people dying and starving." Where are you from? In America that doesn't happen (at least not often at all).
