I think unions are the result of policy implimented by the government that may or may not include professions and services wholly or partially endorsed, as well as or excluding a service provided by one or more governing bodies within the local, state, and/or federal level(s), thus making them a conclusion of a government function as well as a possible function of a government due to regulatory policies that regularly define as well as oversee and/or take punitive action against violation(s) of established law.

yes. unions as originally conceived were fine...However in practice they have strayed far from their origins.

Either way this is not the same as direct government control of production.

Not services, just goods.

And while it has been tried before (and failed) it has not been tried by a competent technocratic government, which is a different matter entirely.

[QUOTE="wellbigd"] How so, I could argue unions are a function of the government.THE_DRUGGIE

Please specify what you are talking about.

Go ahead.

Unions are a great example of why production should be government controlled.

As for service industry unions... i've yet to hear anything good said about them, they are sloth and greed incarnate.

These groups exist in every country on the planet...America just has more media coverage of them.

[QUOTE="frannkzappa"]1. Nowhere in his statement did he say he based his assertion on this one instance./QUOTE] Well then he shouldn't have posted it on a thread about THIS ONE INSTANCE. :roll:kuraimen

I will now ask you to refer to my first post.

[QUOTE="frannkzappa"]

[QUOTE="kuraimen"] So you base this on one instance? I guess the US is even worse since a guy kidnapped some girls, kept them trapped in a basement for years while raping them continually right?kuraimen

How could you possibly be this stupid and uninformed?

1. Nowhere in his statement did he say he based his assertion on this one instance.

2. China has history of human rights violations.

3. The one child policy created a culture in which multiple children are undesirable.

4. This sort of thing has happened in china before, leading to high rates of abortions and child abandonment

5. You're argument is just a random comparison with no real bearing.

6. Do some research on the subject at hand before blindly disagreeing with someone.

[QUOTE="FrostyPhantasm"]China's treatment of children, babies and i guess people in general is so disgusting. kuraimen
