[maimunamuna]

[NastyChuck]

Why the hell would South Africa be chosen? It has the highest murder rate in the world! I'm sure that it is a beautiful country, but it has its own set of problems that eclipse the need for the World Cup to be there.

[Hendo1974]

Noisy but dangerous! 50 Murders a day in S. Africa, very beautiful country with too much poverty, government corruption, where the political connected makes money and enrich themselves with taxpayers money, while ordinary citizens are just in abject poverty! Nefarious political system where corruption is rife! Sad, had soo much potential 20 years ago, many South Africans now live abroad, especially the well-educated ones! What a waste! The people had such high hopes!!!!!!!

[Simbul]

The "Biggest"??? The media reported that many are disappointed with the expected foreign attendance. Well the future will play itself out.

Mandela is strong supporter of the U.N.

Nothing is as it appears ~

[bigc028282]

the criminal elite tool= U.N.!

[RenegadeTimes]

@bigc028282 Agree! - and now the IMF is going to give Haiti a loan which means the IMF will own that country for it's corporations.

The Italian Mafia pales by comparison to these groups.

Loan sharks, drug runners, Wall st. etc

Corruption is a skill ~

[CrazyJelle007]

corruption is a weakness

[RenegadeTimes]

@CrazyJelle007 Corruption may appear as weakness to those of us that have scruples and ethics but I assure you corruption to "these" people means success .

[enzo83sr]

@RenegadeTimes what?

[ASroma90]

bullshit.

All WC in the past were very profitable. Why wouldnt it be profitable for south africa.

South africa WILL benefit from this tournament.

[szcz]

no you freakin moron, FIFA will benefit not the african people

have you still not figured out the disgusting world we live in?

poor child

[dubbedoutandscorched]

I agree with szcz on this.FIFA have announced last year that they will come down very heavy on people selling merchandise.

[ASroma90]

@szcz of course FIFA will benefit, its a corupt organisation. But that doesnt mean the local south african economy will not benefit from all the people getting in. Its a huge economy boost unlikely seen for south africa standards. Positive promotion of the country, foreign investment will come in.

Dont underestimate the power of a tournament watched by almost 4 billion people on earth.

[RenegadeTimes]

@ASroma90 The world will buy into this but the people at the bottom will see NONE of it.

Mexico recieved Nike corporation .

The people worked for Nike for pennies. Nike was not satisfied with their mega profits so they left Mexico and went to an even cheaper labor country to increase their profits further.

These corporate Megalomaniacs have no conscious...you think this endevor will be different. Pleeeez ~

[Mattothee]

@szcz lol i agree.

i cant wait until the first Official World Cup is hosted, since when does FIFA own football?!?... fuck FIFA all they care about is making money for themselves

[reprimand33]

@ASroma90

It is a symbolic gesture nothing tangible will be give to the locals or the ordinary people, you should not too guidable! Conversely there are lots of money to be make if govern correctly, and if corruption takes a back seat

[fredu89]

This documentary makes a very good point, its like all our space/moon missions. How can we spend so much money on exploring the space when we have people starving on planet earth. We need to check ourselves and see what is really important and what is not.

[RenegadeTimes]

@fredu89 Absolutely agree. We have come to realise that corporate is now fully in charge as the Master Class moves towards total domination as well as wealth. It's never been about ALL people, just a handful of elite's prospering to the point of vulgar ~

[eski514]

I think Ruling Class is a more appropriate term than Master Class...

[RenegadeTimes]

@eski514 ~ Typically the person or person's "owning" slaves are referred to as Master or Masters.

Seems more than appropiate .

Master infers pure unyielding domination.

[eski514]

That makes sense, but how many people actually own slaves these days?

[RenegadeTimes]

@eski514 ~ In the U.S. 1/3 of the peoples income goes to taxes. Most are in debt for homes, cars and credit cards.

Debt slaves are owned by their Master's.

[eski514]

Okay, but that's a figurative sense of the word "slave." Real slaves don't have rights, or only the rights given to them by their owners.

I'm sure more than 2/3 of the U.S. population have their basic rights...

[RenegadeTimes]

@eski514 ~

"REAL" slaves ? Corporations run the United States government .

Forced taxation and debt IS slavery.

Add the Patriot Act ( read those "basic" rights that have been re-worked ) then think it over my friend. Actually most of the world in enslaved in one way or another.

some worse than other's.

But...ALL slaves to the elite's.

[eski514]

@RenegadeTimes Eh, whatever you say. I still prefer the term Ruling Class. I don't know about you, but I certainly don't feel like a slave.

[CrazyJelle007]

That's seems to be the trick aint it?

[eski514]

What, not feeling like a slave, but still being one? In any case, it's preferable. If slavedom is inescapable for the majority of people on Earth, why not feel a bit more free than we really are?

Escapism is a good thing, either physically or mentally. Whichever comes first.
