This kid is an idiot.

I think this kid just took a bunch of newspaper headlines and crammed them all together trying to make himself look smart. Yep, that's what happened.
 
stupidest vs. most stupid argument is like the over-exaggerate argument.

you either exaggerate or you don't. over-exaggerating does not exist.

just like stupidest.
 
Coca-Cola is simply a brand name, Cola is a drink originally made from the Kola nut. Coke just makes a better product.


  • Thums Up is a popular cola brand in India.
  • Campa Cola was India's most popular brand prior to the introduction of Pepsi and Coca-Cola to the Indian market in 1991.
  • Zam Zam Cola, popular in Iran and parts of the Arab world.
  • Parsi Cola, popular in Iran.
  • Red Bull Cola, popular in Thailand.


Just because you don't see the brands does not mean they don't exist, American companies have a larger global presence generally but its not to say other counties don't as well. Third world countries are not like that because they're trying to buy luxury items its because they have a shit infrastructure and generally corrupt government. Therefore not much for economy, they have to take shitty manufacturing jobs that no one in developed countries want because that's what we were doing 100 + years ago and everyone wants well paying jobs.
 
im sorry but thats a terrible analogy.

over-exaggerate is purely a made up word that is horribly redundant. the argument around stupidest is an argument about how it changes when you go to its superlative form.. not the same thing at all
 
To be fair its not a very good metaphor I was just pointing out that the initial point was fairly arguable, and honestly Coca-Cola was just an example I pulled out of thin air, and not a very good one being that it is a fairly easily manufactured food product, easy to replicate and such. But as long as we are on it, notice that Thumbs Up Cola was introduced after Coca-Cola left India and was therefore no longer a competitor. If Coca-Cola had not left India, their monopoly on delicious coca-flavored beverages (damn now I want a coke) would likely have continued and Thumbs Up would not be in existence.
I would also like to point out that I've spent a fair amount of time in India, and you do mostly see Coca-Cola products. You do occasionally see Thumbs Up (sometimes restaurants will have both), but I never saw Campa Cola. If you look at the wikipedia page for that brand, you may notice that it was India's most popular coca-drink until Coke was re-introduced to the market in the early 90's, after which time they simply took over the market share.
But again, I don't even really think relating what American companies (and therefore America, I don't care what anyone says, thats our government's fault for not having more regulations) do in 3rd world countries to "monopolies" is even the right connection to make. Just pointing out that its arguable.
 
The only similarity they have is the fact neither of them is a legitimate term. Most stupid, not stupidest. Fucking email Websters.
 
Agreed, I'll have to take your word for it on the India thing I just pulled a mixed list of ones I found on wiki from Europe and Asia haha.
 
dude. a monopoly has NOTHING to do with communism or socialism. if anything ,you sound super fucking ignorant, and stupid to boot. use the dictionary once in a while both of you. what he's trying to say is that it was stupid to start wars in other countries because it put you in debt because it costs you like 60 grand a soldier a month to have them overseas, and you guys are raping a lot of countries, and deforesting, and exploiting and etc. which i'm going to openly say is both parties fault for not having a) any ethics, and b) being complete dictators.

If the US was a monopoly, they'd own the majority of a product or service. What do you call it when the government owns all or most of something?
