...then in that case your post was irrellavant to my original point. I wasn't talking about the economy, I was talking about the importance of human life.
if I was - I'd say it wouldn't matter, the world would probs be better off without a country with minority population leeching majority of worlds resources. the economy would be fine, because the worlds developing nations wouldn't have their production of food or whatever demolished by illegal subsidies - but all that is another matter.
never mind me renting a brain, I'd suggest you develop some empathy and compassion for others around you in the world first...
