Don't job placement firms here in the USA charge their clients a fee for finding them employment? Sometimes it is paid by the new employer and sometimes it isn't. Sort of like paying eharmony to find you a mate. Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events. |

I sure wish I lived in your world. You don't have to wish for it, you already do. |

Why racist? No reason of course. Gee, why would it be racist to paint your own culture as superior while painting others as inferior. If you don't get how thats racist then I'm not gonna bother trying to explain it to you. |

Pointing out differences (Long Live Cultural Diversity) does not, except to the Fanatical Right/Left, mean Superiority/Inferiority. First of all, you dont point out a difference when you claim that the rest of the world has nothing with the rule of law, because that claim is just utter nonsense. Secondly, you are inferring that Western culture is superior by claiming it has something others have not (according to you, we are guided by laws, while the rest are lawless), not to mention the times you (admittedly in different posts) painted everyone else as 'the bad guys' and the West as the good guys. Understand that All Your Posts reeks with Cultural and Intellectual Superiority, against others. Typical Academia Mind Set. Well, your posts are filled with that as well. |

Claiming the Most of The World does not live under The Rule Of Law is NOT Racist, of course. Yes, having a rule of law is preferable over not having it. And no, its not racist to say that. But you don't say just that. You linked having a rule of law to culture, meaning that we have the rule of law because our culture is just like that, while other countries supposedly don't have the rule of law because their culture doesn't accept such a concept. Therefor, you essentially suggest that a culture that accepts the rule of law as an important principle is better than a culture that does not, hence our culture is supposedly better than theirs. That is racist. But your ignorance makes you go even further. The idea that the West is the only culture with the rule of law is just blatant nonsense. From a historical point of view, the rule of law is a pretty new principle in the West while other cultures had such a thing already for thousands of years. Even today, pretty much the entire world accepts the rule of law as a founding and important principle on which they build their states. What happens is that in certain countries, the institutions that are supposed to guard the rule of law are weak which allows corruption to sneak in and happen unopposed. What happens is a crime, not some fundamental characteristic in that countries culture that makes crime somehow acceptable, nor does it mean that the rule of law is non existent or not recognized as something important. Yet that is exactly what you are suggesting when you go off spouting this nonsense. |
