Global Wealth: One Giant Pyramid Scheme?

[orange]

I find it amusing that this thread has caused two rightwingers, Boddington's and Kidicious, to argue when they both are in agreement!

Eternal proof that rightwingers will never triumph

[Imran Siddiqui]

How is Kidicious a right winger?

That's something I've never heard before...

[orange]

maybe I have him confused with someone else?

[Az]

Kidicious is a rightwinger? doesn't look like one.

[Imran Siddiqui]

You probably do . In all our economic debates he struck me as left of center.

Left wingers, always getting confused .

[Az]

Don't generalize, Imran. Not all left-wingers are confused like our buddy Orange, over here.

[orange]

Oh sucks to you both

Maybe it's someone with the same avatar? I start associating avatars with politics after a while

[Imran Siddiqui]

Notice the smily... I was hitting him with an overgeneralization, just like he did with right wingers .

[Az]

I don't believe you!

( I really wanted to do the fez " you criminal" routine, now. )

I'm glad that you at least know that it was made in jest...else I accuse all right-wingers of having no sense of humour either

What's to triumph over? We already own all the little whiny lefties - look at the numbers you cited in the first post.

Well, then, consider this a contract between yourself, and society. If you will be a productive, functional member of it, you'll recieve it support. If you won't, Your life will suck.

A contract is something I enter into. The key is to be able to choose what contract you enter into; that increases competition and lowers costs and waste. If there was only one contract, the government one, it wouldn't be much of a contract.

Why can't the two things exist simultaneously? You have to work well, but generally society will be friendlier, without destructive competition, only productive one.

But why? Why is society obligated to help us in the first place? Every time society becomes more responsible for us, we lose more responsibility for ourselves.

Oh, and there's no such things as destructive competition.

Bah... we all know my sense of humor is much more developed than yours (how's that for elitist right wing)

I really wanted to do the fez " you criminal" routine, now.

You have no proof, You have NOTHING! You liar... you criminal!!

Speaking of that...gotta remember this one for a ME thread...

"Azazel, still angry about the fall of the Golan Heights in 1973?

You provide no source. You PROVIDE NOTHING! And yet you want to destroy Palestine.. you criminal..."

[Az]

You're bursting into an open door, Michael. Orange shouldn't have posted that post in the first place, confusing Kidicious with someone else.
