I love stats.

How second-handed can you get ?

Second-handed? I don't get your comment. It's the actual report from the people who did the study.

If the US paid more attention to world oppinion the country would be a thousand times safe today than at anytime in the last fifty years.

70% of Americans think they're greedy more than anyone else. :lol: :lol:

If I posted a survey showing that poor say that they like globalization, would you proceed to shut the hell up about how it's exploiting them?

If it is from a peer reveiwed unbiased accreditted source maybe. The reason these things have to be peer reveiwed in order to ensure fact over opinion. science proves things anecdotes don't.

Someone who believes their worth and the moral content of their actions are dependent solely on what "everyone else" thinks.

The poll done by the "pew research centre" is interesting as according to it's results 63% of Venezuelans either mostly or completely agree that "most people are better off in a free market economy".


So why is Chavez so popular? :unsure:

Answer: He really isn't THAT popular.

He won a referendum with 58% of the vote. And his MVR party has recently done very well in elections. I'd also point out that Venezuela is not isolated - Bolivia too has an uprising of workers and peasants for the nationalisation of their gas - a direct challenge to globalisation's privatisation policies.
