Thread Name: BS: WTO
Subject: RE: BS: WTO
Kat, your probably right in that I should of gotten to know the majority of the posters before I stated my views. But different views is what makes the world go round. I just want to say that this wasn't a completely glorious fantacy tale, it had a very ugly side to it. You don't often think about the other side when you are so strongly involved in your side. People here don't want to think the side of the civilians, but were the ones who aren't going away. Coming from different ground, I found lots of remarks like "so you support the WTO" "Are you saying we should wipe out free speech," etc. I don't think I was being closed minded here as I didn't say any of this. I respect other peoples views, I don't supprot the WTO, or it's slave labor etc. But there is an entirely different side here. People shouldn't be pretending like we don't exist or just aren't important!

Thanks for the tip on the independant media link. I haven't clicked on that. I check it out some time. I would be interesting to here what they think over in Brazil about this.

At least now, It's All Over! Or at least ending today. Things can pick up where they left off now.
