the truth behind the WTO by War on Want

i still dont get what the wto that is doing that is so bad. i know the effect (poverty and loss of jobs) but what is the cause of that

Could we have empirical evidence? The enumeration of the short/long term effects of the WTO's policies?

Otherwise, this seems rather abstract, more of a partisan statement than a fount of information.

death to the wto

P.S. The next time you open a sentence with " Hahaha This is the biggest BS I have yet to hear about the WTO.." You should be prepared to back up your accusations with a more credible follow up then "I think 75% of things said in this video are straight lies, assumptions or exaggerations". The "hahaha" at the beginning of your comment suggests you were also enjoying a good laugh yourself "Einstein".

The erroneousness of your interpretation lies in you linking think to assumptions, lies or exaggerations and not to the 75% estimate.
Again, the purpose of that comment was to instigate a discussion about whether the facts presented in the video where true or false and to get other peoples views on the impact of the WTO. Not to get a smartass like yourself excited for nothing. Sorry to kill the laugh Einstein.

Fair enough. I apologize for poking fun at your comment. I realize that you were simply expressing an opinion and concede that my response was a bit tasteless and uncalled for. However, I don't think it is fair to make scathing and presumptuous statements about the credibility of material espoused in this video when you offer not a single inkling of evidence or any logical argument to validate your claims. My sarcastic remark was intended to reveal the absurdity inherent in unsupported charges

"Again, the purpose of that comment was to instigate a discussion about whether the facts presented in the video where true or false and to get other peoples views on the impact of the WTO"

Okay, if you want to have a discussion on whether the material in this video is factual or not then let's start. You opened the discussion by stating that you believe 75% of it to be "lies, assumptions or exaggerations". What leads you to believe that? Let's talk facts then.

Hahah sorry but that has to be one of the funniest and dumbest statements I've ever seen posted on here!! Lol "I think (key word here is think) about 75% (random made up number) of the things said in this video are straight lies, assumptions and exaggerations. Yet saying you "think" this material is based on assumptions is an assumption! lol Making up a random number that might be true is both a lie and an exaggeration. Thanks for the laugh!!

Well that wasn't the purpose of that comment but if you really want to analyze it phrase by phrase we can. The "think" reflected the fact that the 75% I threw in there was an estimate. Not that I "think" what is said in the video is an assumption, lie or exaggeration. With that in mind, let me address some of your comments; a) "75% (random made up number). It is indeed a random number; hence the think that preceded it.

b) "think this material is based on assumptions is an assumption" no, the 75% was the assumption, once again I dont think the material is based on assumptions, lies and exaggerations, I think 75% of it is. C) Making up a random number that might be true is both a lie and an exaggeration. Thats why I added think to explicitly express the fact that this is an estimate and not an accurate % of what is a lie, exaggeration or assumption in the video. You get it?
