I find it funny a conservative said that I am talking about something that happened years ago but they always bring up Nazis when talking about liberals.


Well problem for pandabear is the company she's yelling about is a major Democrat Campaign contributor and was selling stuff to Iran just a few years ago (wouldn't surprise me if they still are).

No, it really doesn't at all. Do you even know what any of these words mean? I get the feeling that you don't really know what the hell you're talking about and just like spitting out words. At least you've done us a favor and were kind enough to capitalize all the words you don't understand.

Sorry, a for-profit corporation has moral obligations beyond mere fiduciary duty and not breaking the law. Corporations, beyond duties to their shareholders, have duties to their employees, their customers, the communities they operate in, and the environment.


I've heard people go so far as to argue that according to American business law, businesses are required to try to make decisions to maximize profits over all else. So if that's right, then a company that was offered a lucrative contract from Kim Jong-Il, as long as it was legal, would be required to take it unless it determined it would lose more revenue than it would gain from bad PR or some other issue related to said contract.

They are also required to follow US law when their company is based in the US, selling electronics to a company that we have a trade embargo on is not exactly following the law.

of course comapnies have responsibilities outside of profits, how anyone can say differently is beyond me,

it might be a company but it is humans doing the decision making and any human willing to sacrifice morals for profit is rotten in my book.

Just to qualify

Crony capitalism: Where private companies stop actual capitalism by enforcing a state of affairs that does not allocate resources at all efficiently and only benefits a clique.

Socialism: A system whereby wealth is shared out to the poorer members of society in order to maintain a mandated standard of living, anything between subsistence and near-equality. Often confused with communism, which is Theocratic feudalism masquerading utopian socialism.

If the truth be known, the Koch brothers were guilty of doing business with Iran at the same time. Their lame excise was that other companies were doing it, too.
