See why I say you're an idiot? You really have no education. Hawke You are the one that is an envious idiot. A petty little man who wants to take away from those who have created something that people want and are willing to pay to get it. If you think Google founders get too much money, then do not use Google. The same applies to everything else. Don't like oil companies making money , then do not buy gasolene. People get rich by creating something wanted or needed and selling that to the public. If you do not want them to profit, do not buy what they are selling. Hawke, a person who is unemployed, does not have a skill that anyone is willing to pay anything for. And wants those that are successful to support him. Petty little man. Dan |

You can't imagine how funny it is to me to hear you and your defense of the wealthy as you try to put me in with those with nothing that want to take from others. That is so funny because I am a member of a family with quite a lot of money. I have parents in their eighties and they have money. My grandparents had money. I'm one of those that you are defending, people with wealth. I'm pretty darn sure that my net worth is more than yours and in a few years it darn sure will be. So as much as you and Danny boy want to portray me as one of the poor, downtrodden people, that wants to take money from the wealthy, that couldn't be any farther from reality. I am part of the wealthy. You are defending me when you defend the upper class. So, hey, thanks a lot. But it does show me what a complete idiot you are, and it shows in spades how envious you are of people like me. To which I say, too bad, you lost. You didn't do very well. You have to live on what you earn and no more. You never will make it to the level of wealth you wish for. That couldn't be any fairer. Hawke |

Nice try but it is you greedy and selfish folks that are the problem. You want all the benefits of the biggest and most complex society man has ever created but you don't want to pay your fair share for what you receive. That's just what the rich want. You also are so envious of the lucky 1% that have gotten a ridiculously unjust piece of the pie that you find a way to justify anything they do no matter how unscrupulous, unethical, immoral, or unfair it is. It's perfectly clear you're so unsatisfied with your level of achievement in life that you worship those who have gotten lucky. Here's an example. People like you make a big deal that Mitt Romney made a lot of money. But his sons have all become multimillionaires through no work of their own. So you have five members of the 1% who did nothing to get there. This is how it works for about fifty percent of the wealthy. They don't earn it they inherit it. So merit has nothing to do with their wealth. It's all luck. You didn't get their luck and it's very clear that you're very sore about that. And that is why you don't side with the people like me who want to make things more equitable in this country. You criticize justice. That's you. Hawke You are an idiot and have no clue as to what the actual situation is. You claim that I am unsatisfied with what I have achieved, and yet you know almost nothing about me. Since you are so stupid and clueless, I find it pointless to respond except to repeat that you are a little man that wants to take from others since you are unemployed. Dan |

Dan Here is an example of Dan doing exactly what he berates me for all the time. He's saying all kinds of things he can prove or back up in any way yet he's still saying them as if he knows them to be true. If I do that it's a crime but when he does it, and he does it a lot, we're supposed to ignore it. Sorry Dan, you are as guilty as anyone, and you're a hypocrite to boot. Nice try but it is you greedy Meaningless. Right. Greedy people never see anything wrong with it. If they did how could they justify their selfish, greedy, behavior? You have to see greed as irrelevant to be a greedy pig. Clearly, you do that well. and selfish folks Self-interested - but no more so than you and your mob of looters. No one is more self-centered, selfish, or greedy than your mob of "capitalists". No mob ever stole more than your gang. that are the problem. We're only a "problem" to those of you - the looters - who feel entitled to live off the uncompensated efforts of others. The problem is those like you who want to free ride off the rest of society and pay nothing when you would be nowhere without it. It shows you have the heart of a thief. You want to take and give nothing back. You want all the benefits of the biggest and most complex society No, we want the benefits of the value we create - value you looters did not help in any way to create. What you want is for what you do to be declared as being far more valuable than what other people do. You want to be overpaid for what you do. You want way too much for what you do and then you justify that when you take far more than you are really worth. You're like the town council members in southern California that paid themselves 900K a year and didn't think they did anything wrong. It's perfectly clear you're so unsatisfied with your level of achievement in life You're looking in the mirror when you write that, you scrounging loser. Give me a break. The level of achievement you have attained puts you squarely in the group of society's losers. You just can't admit it. You probably worked a lot of years and have only a home that's underwater to show for it and no portfolio. You lost. Own up to it. Your failure has nothing to do with me. You can't imagine how funny it is to me to hear you and your defense of the wealthy as you try to put me in with those with nothing that want to take from others. That is so funny because I am a member of a family with quite a lot of money. You're a scrounger all the same. That's something to be proud of in my book. It means you can find a way to make things go your way no matter what. Thanks for the compliment. I *told* you months ago that I figured out you're a wastrel child of privilege. *Someone* in your family made some money, but you didn't. You were just a dissipated, privileged little ****, and you didn't even do as good a job of that as most people. Yes, you did, but you were wrong then and still are. I grew up without very much, really. I never had it easy. Everything has been hard and that has made me tough. Way tougher than a prima donna like you. Privilege is not something I have any experience with at all. If anything you have had a much easier time than I did. But having it hard is what made me what I am today. Something you have no idea of. Listen up, bitch - I'm about to tell you the straight story. Do you know why you hate George W. Bush so much? What I hated about him was the incredibly bad job he did as president, as I knew he would. I hated seeing someone who didn't deserve the job get it instead of someone who did. That I do truly hate. But Bush had a lifetime of getting things others should have had. I despise people like that. I also despise the job the republicans did on the country. That's what I hate. Because you're just like him: a wastrel child of privilege, a do-nothing, a dabbler, a *dissipated* slobbo. At least Bush went off to good schools and made it through them. You, you slovenly wastrel, never did anything. You're *exactly* like Bush, just less accomplished. I'm just about the exact opposite of George Bush. If anyone is like him it's you. You did nothing with your life and got nowhere relatively. The only difference between him and you is that he had someone that kept putting him in places way over his head and where he didn't belong. You didn't, but you didn't deserve to get anywhere anyway because you haven't got much brains or any talent. You are a wretched excuse for a human being: * amoral - you believe only in power Wrong. Unlike you I have a set of morals I live by. Even though I'm not a Christian, I'm a better Christian than you are. * unaccomplished That's a matter of opinion. In my mind you have accomplished nothing of note. You probably think otherwise. But you are a dummy. * a parasite - living off your family's money Sorry, but I'm entitled to my family's money. See, they earned it and they have every right to decide where it goes. That's what you say you believe. But then if it applies to me, it doesn't? Change your rules as circumstances dictate, huh? Anyone professing your libertarian views sure as **** can't fault someone for leaving money to their children. Especially if the children have done something to earn it from them. But I expect you to say one thing and do the opposite. * uncharitable I do more for others than you do. You're a libertarian. They put themselves first. You do. You're a zero. You've admitted to being a zero. I've admitted no such thing. I've admitted you're a fraud, a blowhard, and a liar. but I've never admitted to being a zero. That would be a lie and I don't lie, except of course to keep from hurting someone's feelings. You use words like zero because you know that is what your life has amounted to. You just can't face that so you want to focus on somebody else. Look in the mirror. You don't see a winner, do you? Hawke |

We're only a "problem" to those of you - the looters - who feel entitled to live off the uncompensated efforts of others.

Deadbeats and parasites have no claim on any of it. It's perfectly clear you're so unsatisfied with your level of achievement in life You're looking in the mirror when you write that, you scrounging loser. Give me a break. Nope. You are describing yourself, silver-spoon-boy. You were born to privilege, and you didn't do anything with it. You're a loser - a scrounger waiting for your old relatives to die. Of course, as a man of principle, I believe you are entitled to receive all of what they leave you...if they leave you anything. If I were in their shoes, I'd leave you $1.00. You're a disgrace of a human being: no children, no meaningful achievement, no volunteer work, no contribution to the community. You're a ****ing black hole: stuff goes in, nothing comes out.

You were just a dissipated, privileged little ****, and you didn't even do as good a job of that as most people. Yes, you did, but you were wrong then and still are. I'm not wrong. I'm right - 100% right. Listen up, bitch - I'm about to tell you the straight story. Do you know why you hate George W. Bush so much? What I hated about him was **** off, cocksucker. Right below is what you hate about him: Because you're just like him: a wastrel child of privilege, a do-nothing, a dabbler, a *dissipated* slobbo.

You're a zero. You've admitted to being a zero. I've admitted no such thing. Yes, you've admitted to being a dissipated, scrounging, privileged, unaccomplished zero. |

That is what Hawke does not seem to understand. He seems to think that people get rich by exploiting people, whereas the actual fact is they help people. And the more people they help, the more money they take in. If you stopped helping people by doing machining that they need done, you would not get rich even if you cut your spending to zero. Dan |

Dan of course, you can get by with hard work, but to get truely rich you must innovate, or exploit, pick one. Or as in the case of Gates and most of the super rich pick both. There is no such thing as "exploitation". There is no "exploitation" of customers in a free market. No one ever held a gun to the head of a customer and made him buy a computer with MS Windows installed as the OS. No one ever held a gun to the head of a consumer and made him buy an iPod or any other Apple product. No one ever held a gun to the head of an urban black boy and made him spend $200 on a pair of Air Jordans. Nope - there is absolutely no such thing as "exploitation" of customers in a free market. People buy what they want to buy. There is no "exploitation" of workers in a free market, either - absolutely none. Anyone working for Microsoft or Nike or Apple or Google or Facebook is working there because he wants to work there. He works there because he considers it better than his next-best alternative. Not even any illegal alien farm workers are exploited - no, indeed. If they wanted to be unemployed and living in a dirt-floor shack in Mexico, they would be. If they're busting their asses under a broiling sun in the Imperial Valley, it's because they want to be there doing that, rather than somewhere else spending their time in what *they* consider to be a not as good use. Nope - there is no such thing as "exploitation" as you ****tarded leftists misuse the word, at least not in market economies. Now, North Korea and Myanmar and Cuba and other places beloved by left-wing ****s - those places exploit people, because they *DO* hold guns to the heads of their citizens - literally. Here are the formulae: Marxism = exploitation Free market capitalism = no exploitation |

I just joined the group and to what I've seen so far I do not know if I am going to stay. This thread is nothing more than two men acting like little boys. If he is out of work, does that make him any less of a person with feelings? And all this name calling I do not understand why anyone would put up with such hatred and abuse. Grow up and act like men that you are and not act your shoe size.

We do know your situation: scrounging leech who never achieved anything in life, slowly poisoning your parents so you can get their money sooner. A life-long dabbler and dilettante - never mastered anything. An indifferent student who ****ed around in his youth, the time when most people complete their formal education, and didn't finish a degree, in an easy bull**** field at a ****ty school, until you were in your fifties. THAT'S your situation, and we're all very much aware of it. You claim that I am unsatisfied with what I have achieved, That is because people who are not satisfied with their life say the same kind of things you do.

But you really don't know that for sure and are just speculating on it. We do know it. You don't have a job. You're already sponging off your parents' money. You're in your 60s, and you don't work. The fact that you never criticize him says a lot about you. You don't seem to know that people can figure out a lot about you by what you write. We've learned about you, *from* you, that you're a scrounging do-nothing leech. When you say all kinds of negative things about me and not a word about the most abrasive person here He says negative stuff about you because the bull**** policies you want to impose - inflict - on others are simply wrong and bad for everyone. You want to steal from producers and give to parasitic scrounging leeches like yourself. No matter how "abrasive" I might be, my policy prescriptions are right and yours are wrong - end of story. |
