(n.) a social gathering, where many people will take thier families along to eat pre-cooked food outdoors
(v.) to participate in a picnic as defined above.
(v.) to participate in a picnic as defined above.
Apparantly, the source of the word picnic is "pick a nigger", where after eating, sack-races and incestous activity, the redneck community of the southern United States would randomly pick an enslaved black person to abuse and lynch.

Get the picnic mug.Nike, General motors and a bunch of other Transnationals already have turnovers far far above the GDP of some LEDCs.
It's a well established fact that these transnationals can push the LEDC governments to change legislation in thier favour, with the threat of simply moving business elsewhere for a lower production cost. But remember, it's the governments of these LEDCs that have the final say, just allowing the scaremongers at the transnationals to trick them. Your theory that no government would have it in thier power to stop them is proposterous. Even at the very worst, they could simply become isolationist and nationalise all foreign owned business, a la Fidel Castro.
But think about it, suppose Nike didn't like the deal it was getting in Thailand, and moved production to somewhere else (been done before). Would the people of these countries feel better then, with no income at all? I think not.
The benefits of capitalism still outweigh the negatives. Communist governments have never contributed anything to the world except genocide and games of economic catchup.
=Communism does not benefit the human race.

Get the y halo mug.Kindertransport is the name given to a rescue operation initiated by the British Jews for Jewish children in Nazi-occupied countries, following the Kristallnacht on November 9, 1938.
The British Jewish Refugee Committee, with the aid of funds from Quakers and other refugee organizations, appealed to Members of the British Parliament, to allow the children to be admitted to the United Kingdom. Parliament agreed to admit an unspecified number of children between the ages of 5 and 17. A £50 bond was posted for each child, "to assure their ultimate resettlement".
Ten-thousand unaccompanied children travelled to the United Kingdom from Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland, in sealed trains. The first transport left only six weeks after the Kristallnacht, and the last left just two days before war broke out (September 3, 1939).
Upon arrival in England, some of the children went to foster families, some to orphanages, and others worked on farms. Children were generally well treated, though a few were abused or mistreated. The older children joined the British or Australiann armed forces once they reached 18.
Most of the children settled in the United Kingdom, though many re-emigrated to Israel or North America

Get the send the boys round mug.(v.) To take inudustrial action (also known as a strike) is for the workers to refuse to work, causing the company loss of sales. This is a bargaining tool used by the poor people against the rich.
Minimum wage guy: Oooh Oooh our company made £700 million turnover! This is despite spending £690 million on achieving it. I don't know shit about economics, or that this is below even the rate that the investors would get in a bank. Time for industrial action!
