What? People suddenly made redundant through no fault of their own are doing "nothing" because they want to do nothing? People in their 50's and 60's, who you wonderful employers don't want; those people who are too young for a pension - they should go fruit picking when they already have the start of old age physical problems? At $6.93 an hour? People of their ages still have mortgages these days. Many are still stuck with kids who can't get a job either, thanks to most industries being allowed to go overseas by useless politicians.

BTW. if you are the businessman that you claim to be, where do you get the time to think up and post such crap?

That is more home work than I used to get at school.

I watched some bites of the videos, which would be very convincing for the audience. I could fill pages arguing some points, but will stick to just a few.

The bit about, make a deal/contract when you are weak, then ignore it when you are strong. That sounds just like how Trump runs his empire.

I think the truth of this day 15 years ago will never be told, as the general public could not handle it. Sufficient to say I believe the “false flag” control option is played by most leadership around the world.

It is clear both of them tend to embellish the story to fit their particular view point.

There have been a number of times in history when this or that religion dominated the world. Most people will tell whoever the dominant ruler is; they are devout followers whilst just getting on with their lives as best they can.

Christian armies have marched around the world many times and slaughtered millions, a fact Mr Federer seemed to forget. The problem with any religion is not the religion, or most of the followers, but the fundamentalists. Jews have been picked on by everyone throughout history, so I do understand some of their behavior. My first wife is Jewish, and she had no idea why they were picked, but never thought it important enough to find out.

I think the majority need to be mindful that our enemy is greed, and intolerance, preached from whichever pulpit.

As for your response, It is important to remember what the English did to him. However I have a similar point of view.

I have lived in Se Asia for the last nine years, in the real world. Club Med is a western invention like Disney world., and so have little connection to how Asia really is. You are correct that if you don’t work here it is the family that carries you or you starve. However life is a lot different from the west so it doesn't cost anywhere near as much to live reasonably well.

Housing. Instead of loading yourself up with a debt, you simply make a drawing that a ten year old could do, find a builder and build as you have the cash. So you have a basic house as you can afford to build, doing some of the work yourself. . No council plans, inspections, or rules regarding design, or materials.

Food, fruit and vegetables are fresh and mostly a dollar or two per kilo. Meat is on display without packaging, so not full of preservatives. The family takes care of its own, that means no nursing homes. I suspect if you read some history of Australia, not to different from a hundred years ago.

Your sweeping statement about, “what we all want. Is partly true. More flexible hours enough money for the bills and time to be with those you care about, I would agree with. However the new toys and money for the sake of it you can keep.

You also seem to think maternity leave is an unnecessary luxury and not essential for mothers. I am guessing you are a man and have never had to deal with all the issues around pregnancy and birth. So I have a suggestion. Take a 4 kilo watermelon, swallow it whole and squeeze it out through your arshole. Then get up the next morning and trot of to work like nothing happened.

I am also guessing you are an employer who cant wait for the rest of us to come begging for ten bucks an hour with no benefits so that you can swan of to fantasy land whenever you feel like it.

I know you think my opinion is a complete waste of space.
However for what is worth I completely agree with your last post.

Hi Lefty,

So we have to go back to the Romans ? Perhaps you're right - on behalf of the People's Marxist-Leninist Patriotic Revolutionary National Front (PMLPRNF), (not to be confused with those bastards in the National Patriotic Revolutionary People's M-L Front), apart from a few bull-rings, what did the Romans ever do for us ? Okay, they introduced olives, but - okay, flush toilets, but what else ?

Slight correction: the Middle East, pre-Arab, was Christian, highly civilized, and Kurdish/{Persian/Syriac. The tribal Arabs burst out of the desert and destroyed most of that. The 'civilization' in Spain was mostly carried on by Christians and Jews, under the thumb of Berber and Arab rulers, who transcribed crucial books from the Greeks etc. Gibr al-Tariq, after all, was Berber, as were most of the Emirs of the various feuding Caliphates in al-Andalus.

The maths that you talk about had been developed mostly by Indian priests and Central Asians, e.g. al-Khorazm, from Khorazm. The Arabs and their Berber converts invented nothing, developed nothing and extended nothing. If you have alternative evidence, let us know.

Islamism - ISIS, al-Shabab, Abu Sayyaf, Boko Haram etc. - is the major threat to the Left today. Surely, it stands for everything the Left is opposed to ? It also stands for everything the West in general is opposed to, and yes, I would say that the Western Enlightenment and any genuine Left have far more in common than either has with the fascists in ISIS etc. End of.
