  • Here's a good quote by Kidicious:

    Screw hard work. The whole point of communism is so that we won't have to work so hard anymore.

      I don't like to be exploited, in case that's news to you. I was accused of something, and no one wants to prove those accusations. What makes you think that I would be arsed into trying to prove those accusations are false, and how do you propose that I do that anyway?

      • John, the link doesn't work.

        It's a funny one, and I remember it, although it doesn't speak to my current disagreement with Kid.

        I'm looking for more of the "rich people are lazy bastards who exploit people like me because they don't do any REAL work, and I do, because invention and management isn't real work." [/paraphrase of course]

        The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

          • You don't like to work, and one of your ways to get around it is to reclassify it as "exploitation". And, no, that's not news to me. We went over this in a number of threads.

              -Arrian
              Look. People are all the same (by saying that I'm demonstrating that I am not classist), but rich people have less incentive to work and more incentive to support an exploitive system. The former is due to their diminishing marginal utility of work, and the latter has to do with their partiality towards themselves.

              I'm not saying that ALL rich people are selfish and lazy.

                • This proves that I'm not a classist. Thank you JohnT.

                  • You've moderated your position since the early days, then. That's not the position you took a year ago. Good to see you've accepted that there are hard-working rich people.

                    I think we're done with this (especially since the thread should already be closed due to # of posts).

                        Hmmm. Try this one.

                        I "linked to post" on the first one, don't know why it didn't work...

                          I never said there weren't. My grandfather was the hardest working man that I've ever known.
