scepticus Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Well the english are a germanic derivative so not completely true. We're all african derivatives and monkey derivatives.

Which point of genetric bifurcation is it that you have an issue with? and we share a lot of DNA with cabbages but you have to draw the line somewhere. The day they level the playing field and stop manipulating their currency and people is the day I find someone else to bully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how come it's ok for the USA and ourselves to manipulate our collective currencies but for them not to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, the germans are as bad as the chinese, arguably a lot worse but they don't suffer the same level of oprobium from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan B'Stard MP Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 what is the difference between the modus operandi of the East India Company and the VOC, and what the Chinese are doing now? Did the east india company create their own markets - or just usurp existing ones? Besides, the germans are as bad as the chinese, arguably a lot worse but they don't suffer the same level of oprobium from you. When was the last times germans sent the tanks in against their own nationals? How many nations turned a blind eye? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scepticus Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Did the east india company create their own markets - or just usurp existing ones? new markets were created by the initial explorers, Then competition forced margins down and the dutch established the VOC, which was an export/import monopoly backed by the fleet and a charter from the Stadtholder. EIC was the same - dutch taught them everything they knew. no different in principle to the cinese - a monopoly created through restricted access to trade backed by internal and external projection of force. ofc currency manipulation wasn't really possible in those times so they achieved the same ends by different means. When was the last times germans sent the tanks in against their own nationals? How many nations turned a blind eye? they have achieved the equivalent to a financial invasion of the PIGS by locking them in a financial embrace they can't get out of and then ramming a load of debt down their throats. The fact it wasn't done with tanks doesn't absolve them of internal violence against their supposed EU brothers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boom Boom Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 If it's not using any technology that Intel's patented in the last twenty years, then either it's an antique design or it's so amazingly innovative that the world leaders in CPU design have never thought of doing things the same way. Or they've just bought in the MIPS design from a Western company which has licensed all those patents and done nothing innovative at all.
