No, that's a potential wealth generating mechanism. An important distinction. Are you suggesting that those included in the 99% should each take a gam...
No, that's not a fair assessment. Come on, Agustino, I think you know that that's not what I was getting at. I have already explained why it is unfair...
How does that come into this? To compare our positions: you want a smaller state and are in favour of economic liberalism*, whereas I want a bigger st...
I went on to explain that. At some point it's down to you. You either recognise it or you don't. If you don't recognise it, you don't recognise it. It...
It's a problem if it's excessive. That would be a problem because it's unfair and creates an imbalance. And an imbalance impacts people like me. That ...
In consecutive order: was here not too long ago, don't know who you mean, joined but never comments, joined and hung around for a while but went off t...
Boo! (N) Unfairness is that and more. Excessive accumulation of money is a problem, as is tax avoidance and evasion (I forget which is which, and woul...
Agustino has convinced me that she should show some entrepreneurial spirit and provide for herself. Filthy scrounger. Why should I have to share my ha...
The statement that I was referring to, Agustino, was your statement on the first page, namely that the war against progressive taxation is a good thin...
@"Agustino", do you still call yourself a socialist? I see very little evidence of that here. On the contrary, this isn't just a defence of capitalism...
So today I arrived at the hospital and gave birth to a fat cunt. I asked it, "Why is a raven like a writing desk?", and it opened its mouth wide and s...
I am not surprised that there are people who are willing to read, listen, and entertain astrology and those who believe in it. That is testament to th...
Here are some specific examples of double standards: 1. Only he is allowed to joke around. It doesn't work both ways. 2. Complains of belittling atmos...
My eyes are rolling so hard right now that it feels like they're about to pop out of their sockets. Just take a look at his comments in that discussio...
That's fine with me. You laugh from the sidelines, yet you can't take a joke, and your attempt at substance got picked apart quicker than you can say ...
You don't. To think otherwise exemplifies a failure in understanding. I can tell you what he's trying to do. He's attacking a weaker position than my ...
No, it really wasn't, and that comment only serves to reflect your poor judgement. The first sentence is false, and the second sentence contains a fal...
It's a brand of razors for men. The best a man can get. I be Sapientia. I is an owl. I hate the moderators, despite being one of them, and I hate ever...
Straw man alert! You could have just asked me to elaborate - although I accept that in your world that sort of thing might be considered outlandish - ...
Ah yes, Bentham. That other notorious postmodernist. Full of malarkey. Yes, why would you want to elaborate in a discussion of all places? What is thi...
If that's the case, then you'd fit right in, as your own comments have been belittling. But maybe it's for the best if you have little of substance to...
I don't care. I'm not guilty by association. I see right through what you're doing. What was your point? Your contributions seem to consist of petty s...
It's not malarkey, and it's not postmodernist malarkey. You need to brush up on your history of philosophy. Hume rejected the doctrine of natural righ...
But, instead of requesting a demonstration, you decided to repeatedly challenge what I said with your non sequitur and your demands that I support a c...
It would be like punishing little kids for playing with sharp knives. Some might well be more responsible than others. Some might not end up hurting t...
It was entirely avoidable, but you just had to make stuff up, instead of actually quoting what I said, didn't you? You just had to stubbornly persist ...
Yes I have, and no I didn't. I challenge you to show me where I have made that claim, as you have worded it. Once you realise that I have made no such...
You don't have to take my word for it, actually. You can bring up my comment with the quoted statistical data and linked sources by simply entering "g...
