Japan and the U.S are not the only major industrial countries with the D..P. Singapore , Taiwan and S.Korea are up there as well. The death penalty is a proper form of punishment for heinous crimes.

China is like the former U.S.S.R. Where Russia had it's periphery buffer states to protect it's wide open borders. And where the leaders were directly appointed by Moscow. China has Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner-Mongolian and Manchuria where leaders are appointed by Beijing ad where the locals don't trust the far south. With growing unrest and the bubbles in China finally bursting, this can only end one way. Which is why they are criticizing this Uighur visit, they want the world to remain ignorant of whats going in Xinjiang.

As the saying goes "Sometimes the truth hurts". Indeed it is not very good PR, but the truth nonetheless. Some months ago a foreign secretary from China said the same things about the whole of Europe but in harsher terms, such as "indolence and sloth and outdated entitlement system".

You cannot arm-wrestle a Govt official when the referee will be on the politicians side.
If he wants companies to take the "moral approach" and force them not to fire workers, which is basically what he wants then using Govt force is itself immoral. The only way he can force companies to do the "right" thing is by imposing draconian socialist penalties, say higher taxes, confiscation of private property, a fine, or jail time. If a company needs to fire someone, then its because it has to make cut backs and choosing not to go bankrupt is the moral course of action to take.
> On another campaign pledge, in which Hollande vowed to block rising fuel prices for three months after his election,
Oh? so what happens after three months then? Prices should then go up after this Govt allotted time span? He is going to fail hardcore even before those 3 months are up.
From proposing a 75% tax on anyone earning over 1 Million Euros, to promising to stop oil prices from rising for 3 months to "arm-wrestling" big companies not to fire workers this man, Hollande is a socialist in it's purest form. I hope any liberals and socialist here keep a close eye on this man's entire tenure as president ad see how utterly disastrous this man policies will turn out. Of course this man will just give people like me MORE ammunition against the socialist argument. :)

Everything in this post is wrong. Under the Capitalist models there are winners and losers and your responsible for your own actions. Under the socialist models, losses are socialized through bail-outs and stimulus's giving the impression that there are no losers when in fact everyone just lost. Also I suppose you also want to victimize rich people whom had nothing to do at all with all these crisis? That would be like guilt by association of being rich.
Do* YOU* know how hard it is to start a business in France and how easy it is elsewhere? In fact, it can take up to 9 Months, 2 years even up to 10 years just to get a small business started in France. Meanwhile it can take up to 1day to 1 week in the state of Delaware and just hours in Hong Kong.

Same guy that wants to tax anyone making over 1 million Euro's by 75%. Expect massive capital flight out of France if this guy goes through with his outrageous Economic views. Of course this might be good for some of us depending on where the capital flees to.. but bad for France overall.

There is this pervasive myth that U.S H.C is not socialized and somehow proof that a free market in H.C does not work. One only needs to look at Medicare, Medicaid, HIPPA, MSEHPA, and the recently introduced "Affordable H.C Act ( oxymoron ) and H.C and Education reconciliation Act ( Both make up what is known as "ObamaCare" ).
http://mises.org/freemarket_detail.aspx?control=458,http://mises.org/daily/3586.
The amount of Govt intervention within the America H.C sector is amazing that outsiders still consider it as non-socialized. If anything America H.C was already Universal long before Obama's campaign promise for Uni-Care. Bush just beat him to it.

Ironically the troops and vets most strongly support Libertarian republican Ron Paul as he gets the most private funding support from the men and women in uniforms. As well as the most enthusiastic which has bee true since 2007.

Yikes, This is the guy that wants to tax anyone whom makes over a million by 75% +. No one would want to stay in France keeping only 25% - of their earnings. If this guy wins expect massive capital flight out of France.

Indeed TMarie. As a Conservative/Libertarian young Hispanic I have actually called out other Hispanics and even Blacks on their anti-white sentiments believing that it can't be racist unless your white. Of course I totally blow holes in their logic and they suddenly find themselves starring at a mental mirror seeing what they really are. The outcome is always outrage, denial and ostracism.
One of the false false that some like to espouse like some o this thread is the myth of "income inequality". The deceitful clever catch here is that it's wrong because of simply "inequality", so the inverse is most desirable "income equality". How ever all attempts at total income equality always end in equal poverty and stagnation. As for the so called forms of discrimination's in say housing and work place, mostly come from the Govt not the entrepreneur.
For example the U.S "Community Re-Investment Act" is an affirmative action regulation that granted minorities easy access to bank loans to buy houses that they otherwise could not afford. Which lead to what some would call "predatory loans" when in fact they were affirmative action loans. The end result? a disproportionate number of non-whites foreclosed on their homes partly causing the 2008 housing crisis. Of course because people don't think twice of the unintended consequences of when the Govt wants to "help" in the market place, people will tend to throw in the race card in situations of which they do not understand.

Indeed TMarie. I was i my senior year of high school during the 2008 elections and all my black pupils whom were of voting age were voting for Obama because "he is black" I was never given any other answer or candidate they would support. I was labeled as "racist" because I would only ever support Ron Paul yet I'm not even black or white =p. Yet the irony in their logic was "if you don't vote for the black man then your racist" when voting on this basis alone is racism.

Speculators have never done any damage what so ever. Laws/regulations that target speculators are only methods of shooting the messenger instead of those whom are responsible. If a law is passed then that meas Govt did something wrong/stupid and wants to shut down the messenger in such case the speculator. http://mises.org/daily/4460 http://mises.org/daily/4466
Your half right on this one. Precious metals, such as Gold and Silver especially do have fixed prices. And that is because of market scarcity. However your wrong on the assertion that they do not influence product pricing. Gold and Silver, especially Gold is the only universal accepted currency to which not even the $ compares to. The $ is a fiat currency and also a product commodity with a value of it's own. Gold is a way of measuring the value of this product which is why central bankers don't like Gold and do what ever it takes to manipulate it's market. A Oz of Gold in terms of $'s back in 2001 was around $250, today it's hovering somewhere around the $1,700 mark per Oz. But the amount of Au in the market is consistent and extremely stable. Interestingly enough India and Iran are agreeing to trade Oil for Gold recently http://www.forexcrunch.com/gold-for-oil-india-and-iran-ditch-dollar-report/
> currency inflation in respect to some arbitrary fixed material such as precious metals is not only predictable - it is desirable. One would think a person versed in recent Japanese history would understand the far worse perils of deflation. This is also not a uniquely American phenomenon; show me any country where a fixed commodity is the same price now as it was 50 years ago.
Currency inflation leads to devalued debauched money with less value lowering the standards of living for all. It is the most egregious form of taxation possible. It is not desirable in any way to have inflation, none. Also there are commodities that still have the same price today as they did 50 yrs ago, even 5000 yrs ago. A Oz of Gold today would have purchased 350 loathes of bread 5000 yrs ago and today would still buy the same amount. A Silver dime today would purchase you 3 gallons of gas as it would have 50 yrs ago. Meanwhile it now take around $3.94-$4.04 for a gallon of gas and still rising.< http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul319.html>

Obama, a politician speculating on the speculation of market speculators... love it. Anyways, his proposal if implemented mean high regulations which means higher cost. Which then translates to higher energy cost. Of course its wrong for politicians like Obama when normal market forces determine commodity prices. How ever when these same politicians manipulate the market via monetary inflation, subsidies and regulations then hey! what could possibly go wrong!.
No Obama. when the market determines prices, then it's price is normal and what it should be. But when Govt wants a say in pricing ONLY then ca it be considered artificial.

When it comes to racism, it is those that often abuse the race card them selves that are the true racist. People like Al-Sharpton and Jesse Jackson make a fortune inserting race into every tragedy and crime and statistic possible. Then the media amplify their voices thus manufacturing a false controversy like the Martin case. Someone like Sharpton uses his media platform to look at Zimmerman and accuse racism. The end result? a man whom was not motivated by race what so ever ow has to live with the permanent character assassination that was hurled his direction by the so called "anti-racist".
All this gives the delusion of some that there is somehow a lot of racism within the U.S. As a Hispanic-American or simply just American, I have seldom experienced racism in my 20+ years of life. Although when I did, then it was not by whites but by blacks instead. The real last vestiges of American racism is within the black community itself which they refuse to acknowledge where the "white man" is somehow responsible for their own individual life's failures. When in fact these same people have themselves to blame.

"Unfortunately is view will burst in one massive boom-bust cycle that is going to hit Brazil extremely hard. Much like how people are finally waking up to the massive bubbles in China. No country is safe at this point. It does not matter what 1st or 2nd world developing country your in. What matters is skills, do you have the technical skills for this day and age? If yes then there are bright prospects for you from the U.S to Japan to the U.K and ect. Many people don't have many tech skills so they end up as say Philosophers, Sociologist and Psychologist majors which means no real prospects for success.
