Most evil of the evil businesses?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

[waiting for hope]

1. Katrina/Iraq....

Halliburton - does anything else need to be said?

[Alamom]

4. No. n/t

[wuushew]

2. Is McDonald's truly evil?

bad tasting more than anything.

[Freddie Stubbs]

31. They had Mayor McCheesse killed

How else do you you explain his disappearance?

[porphyrian]

3. How do you choose the most fecal piece of shit? - n/t

[CrispyQ]

5. lol

That's why I had to pick other.

Shit, by any other name, would smell as putrid.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

6. Halliburton and Monsanto

They do the most harm globally by my way of thinking.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

7. I frankly don't think Halliburton has THAT much ability to do harm.

Especially with its backers being whipped electorally.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

10. Now, no

For the past three years, yes.

Monsanto is another story, they have no qualms with starving the poor so long as it means they can sell their sterile seeds for profit. :mad:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

11. Indeed. It could be said that, unlike all the others, they have the ability to bring about

global extinction. By starvation. Even global warming (re: option 1) may be not as devastating.

[tridim]

15. I always wondered how Halliburton survived before their CEO became VP

Are they going to layoff all their employees now? Will we hear about these massive layoffs? I'm guessing they will not be getting any more no-bid contracts, and there's not a chance in hell they'd ever get a contract through a fair bidding process.

Yet, the stock remains steady. Hmmm..

[Options Remain]

9. Oh its so hard to pick just one. HOWEVER.

http://www.carlyle.com/eng/index.html

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlyle_Group

Still wins teh most evil award imo.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

12. Yes, that's another horrifically corrupt creation brought to us by the GOP

Not like that comes as a surprise.

[LongTomH]

8. So many contenders!

:think:

[Fire Walk With Me]

25. Yep. Where is the "all the above" selection?

[The2ndWheel]

13. There's a difference?

Don't forget the mining corporations either. Insurance corporations. Drug corporations. Auto corporations. Genetic engineering corporations. The list kinda goes on and on like that.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

17. I went for the ones that I think are most known and most global.

By the way, there IS one member of the last category you mention.

Insurance corporations tend to be too local, and auto corporations IMHO are second-stringers in the Evil department.

Now, Drug corps. Hmmmm. THAT would be a worthy addition.

Maybe I should have made lots of polls in a "championship league" system.

[no_hypocrisy]

14. Does the Federal Reserve Bank count? It's a private institution.n/t

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

16. But it's not a for-profit corporation, is it? -nt

[mom cat]

22. Like hell it is! It is one of the biggest private, for profit companies in

the world:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Money_Masters

Also, do a search for "The Money Masters".
Every commie pinko dirtbag should bone up on this!

[mom cat]

18. Other: What about the Carlyle Group, Lockeed Martin. Boeing, GE., Drumond,

Bechtel, Raytheon ...

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

19. Admittedly, there are TOO many for 8 options.

I could lose the PDVSA joke, but that'd be far from enough.

[Marie26]

20. Dyncorp.

Don't take my word for it - Dyncorp + evil has 81,000 hits on Google! http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=dyncorp+evil

[mattfromnossa]

21. My vote goes to Eli Lilly.

:thumbsdown:

[BlueIris]

23. Pfizer. nt

[Avalux]

33. That one gets my vote too. n/t

[ItNerd4life]

24. What about law firms?

Even Shakespeare said to get rid of them. Why didn't we listen to him?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

26. (1) Too generic. (2) The character who wanted to kill lawyers was the BAD guy.

(3) Anti-lawyer bullshit gives Peter Parker a headache.

[blondeatlast]

28. ...

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[blondeatlast]

27. You have got to be kidding.

Not even close.

[Jack Rabbit]

29. I'm sorry, I can't vote on this

There are too many good candidates for "most evil" artificial person.

Exxon, Monsanto, Halliburton and a couple of others on that list all deserved to be named. And you left out GM. So, which one?

To paraphrase an old advertising slogan of an evil corporation that makes money in marketing unhealthy snack food: You can't eat just one.

To measure evil in transnational corporations is like measuring heat on a day in August. Ask me the temperature when it is over 95 degrees and I'll give you the same non-numerical answer: It's too hot.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

32. You put it most eloquently.

:thumbsup:

[Jcrowley]

30. Other

momcat upthread got it right

military machine inc. #1 in evilness

there is no second place as it's in an entirely different category

than the rest

of the Evildoers Inc.

[Gwerlain]

34. Halliburton, by far...

nobody else has directly corrupted the Executive. Some of the others may have tendrils, but Halliburton has REPRESENTATIVES.

[devilgrrl]

35. Nestlé

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Nestle

[grizmaster]

38. I haven't eaten a nestle product since the mid 1980s

because of the infant formula marketing that has murdered hundreds of thousands by convincing mothers not to breastfeed.

[grizmaster]

36. You forgot Carlisle Group

[Swamp Rat]

37. Rede Globo

:D

[Renew Deal]

39. Microsoft does not belong on that list.

They are extremely competitive, but they are not evil in the ways that others are.

[Xenotime]

41. I didn't know Bill Gates posts to this forum...

But seriously, are you serious? MS is in bed with the Mainstream Media, Record Companies, Govt. agencies all around the world. They charge outrageous license fees to small companies while large companies get free, unlimited licenses for software titles.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

42. No, that's Steve Ballmer.

Bill Gates has no fixed residence.

[Renew Deal]

44. Sorry I didn't goosestep the way you expect

Look at that list of companies. You have war profiteers, companies that exploit illegals, companies that exploit american workers, companies that actively union bust. You have companies that inflate gas prices because they feel like it, companies that over-bill our government, companies that specialize in propaganda, companies that lie about the health effects of their companies, companies that exploit public health systems to maintain profits. That list is filled with some of the most morally repugnant companies on the planet.

Microsoft for all their flawed business practices is a good employer compared to others of their size (that includes revenue). They have supported gays. They have good benefits as I understand it. They just don't belong on the list.

[Xenotime]

40. Everytime I pass that place in Houston, I flip them off.

They have all these trees to block the view but it makes me feel better.

[Little Star]

43. Would have been much easier if you had asked

us to pick 'one' not so evil business. I really couldn't make a 'most evil choice' from your list and the list was very short. Ya stumped me!!!!
