Something that bothers me are many of the people that protest corporations and claim to vehemently support anti-globalization ideas when in fact they either don't know what they are talking about or are blatantly hypocritical in their ideas.  The first example is people that protest sweatshops and the ways in which most major companies manufacture their products in Asia and Africa, yet they wear Nike shoes and shop at Walmart, and regularly buy name brand products.  Hey guess what, you know all those things you are wearing were made in sweatshops right, and if they weren't they would cost about double what they do now.  So next time before you go out and preach your anti-globalization beliefs, think about what the repercussions would be and the fact that this isn't a new thing, wealthy countries and corporations have been exploiting poorer countries since the beginning of civilization.  Another example is the people who fighting over oil and the "No Blood for Oil" people.  Do you have any idea how expensive oil would be if we just let countries that don't like us take over the control of oil in the Middle East.  Like exploitation of poor countries, fighting wars over resources has been going on since the beginning of time, it's just the way the world is.
