It's a little snotty to make "duh" comments that imply that an understanding of the Bretton Woods system is part of the obvious baseline of any casual discussion of trade among non-econ people.

Bretton Woods was a cashcow for the west really

maybe we need a "breaking news" thread for "western states will use every weapon in their armoury to their advantage whatever the consequences"-type challenging opinions.

no that's what i meant, hurting! dude was making like "Bretton Woods was a cashcow" was this kind of QED statement.
i have no idea what the fuck that even means -- like prior to BW the western powers had no sway in (what became the) third world, or that after BW broke down it hasn't.
my line applied to pretty much everything posted on that thread, but the bretton woods bit annoyed me because it was just so CHALLENGING.

ah ok, I see what you're saying. So maybe I also misunderstand this thread, b/c I'm thinking "challenging opinions" means arrogant assertions of things that are obvious, but maybe it's more just arrogant assertions period.

The actors weren't exactly playing very differently from the original. I get half way through a JD song and I'm already bored. They really do sound like a band having a jam together.

I'm not afraid to state loud and clear: this skit was not, is not, nor will ever be funny. Theres nothing funny about it, nor is there about Christopher Walken, Saturday Night Live, Will Ferrel, jokes referencing this skit, nor is there anything that resembles humour in the premises, foundation, and details (on a grand and microscopic scale) within, or around this skit.
The fact it is so loved is truly symptomatic of one of the tragedy of our time.

I looked at the thread title and was "oh no! Rohypnol!"
Now that is really shameful. Having sex with someone who has been drugged into unconsciousness and thus can't give consent is truly, truly wrong.
