Is modern capitalism currently experiencing corruption or is capitalism corrupt by design?
Would capitalism in America experience a sea change for the better if more democratic initiatives were gradually introduced or is it doomed to the Iron Law of Oligarchy no matter what happens to it?
No real right or wrong answer here, just asking.

Don't go any further than the story if you don't want to be pissed the hell off. I mean, the story is infuriating as it is, but I wouldn't go any further than that.
Yahoo's commenters are a fucking disgrace. An absolute fucking disgrace to humanity.

I don't know, would being a karate master have taken care of a seven-on-one problem???
What would happen to you if you beat up another adult bad enough to send them to the hospital?
What would happen to you if you beat up an 11 year old bad enough to send him to a hospital?
What would happen to you if you beat up YOUR 11 year old bad enough to send him to a fucking hospital?
So, if these sorts of rules and expectations apply to adults, why exactly is it PERFECTLY OK TO ALLOW FUCKING KIDS TO BEAT UP OUR KIDS AND SUFFER ZERO REPERCUSSIONS FOR IT???? WHY??? SAY IT, SAY IT??????
Bullied 11-year-old in coma after brutal schoolyard attack.
http://www.examiner.com/article/bullied-11-year-old-coma-after-brutal-schoolyard-attackBailey O'Neil, a 6th grader was allegedly beaten up by several students and was left with a broken nose and concussion.
Along with the fact that a bullied 11-year-old boy is in a coma; one of his attackers reportedly only received a two-day suspension.
Bailey's parents took him to a local Children's Hospital. There, he began to show signs that something was wrong after several days. In the beginning, his mood was low, he was angry and wasn't sleeping.
But then things took a bad turn; the bullied kid began having violent seizures. As a result, doctors were forced to sedate him for medical reasons.
