Why do you hate the Chinese working class?

It's the look at how great I am way that he posted the thread with that makes it even worse.

Yep.. like he expected everyone would go " David Floyd u r0x!!1" down the page... instead of what everyone did do, which was "wtf Floyd? Celebrating over a con?"

Yeah, how dare they? To make it worse, they even go out and hire members of the community! And provide cheaper products to everyone by being efficient! And, to top it off, they give dirty, poor, third-world people jobs!!! TEH HORROR!!!

Yeah, let´s be thankful for all the crap they produce these days. "Oh did the telly break again. No matter we´ll buy another one at WalMart. They´re dirt cheap. Who needs quality when you can have 10 crappy tellys for the price one good?" "What do you want to do when you grow up, Charlie?. Oh, I want to work at WalMart selling crap to people who have no other place to shop than here. Yay!"

Hooray for capitalism!

Walmart produces things??? Here I thought they were a simple retailer.

Silly people. Making decisions for themselves.

Stalin Zoid should decide for everyone what they should buy and how much they should pay

You raise a good question. Why should I buy something that costs 10 times as much but doesn't last 10 times as long?

HA HA HA! You're so funny DF! How could anyone ever think your a lame jerkoff? What a smart person you are to have found an idiot manager to lie to!

The Free Market, DD! The Free Market!


Yeah, I gotta say it. DF is a douche. It's because of jackasses like him Libertarianism will never work. Yessir.


EDIT: To clarify, lying by omission is still lying, and congrats on being a thief.

Handbag away deary, just that David Floyd has been around a lot longer than you have...

I wasn't contesting his seniority--I can see his join date as well as you can. I was merely pointing out that, whatever he's done in the past, it apparently either happened while I was gone/before I joined, or just wasn't very memorable to me.

EDIT: And no, I don't really think he's been a member since '69 like it says, I just know those join dates don't get handed to newbies.

I find what he did .. I feel nothing about it. Ethically wrong? Maybe.

The attack on him is even weaker in my eyes. So, I'd give the rest of you guys a failing grade as well.

god help me, i agree with pekka.

Well, they don´t produce things per se. But they have a bunch of businesses in China producing crap just for them.

The numbers are obviously just off the top of my head (or pulled out of my ass, your call ) But why pay more for quality?

1) Quality will always last longer than crap.

2) Enviromental concerns. Why waste a lot of natural resources replacing crap that breaks?

[Berzerker]

No it is about libertarianism becasue it asumes that for libertariansism to work people will behave morally and look to not cause harm to others.

Libertarianism doesn't assume people wont commit crimes, it just defines crime narrowly so there are fewer criminals and less need for police.

Last I looked fraud was still a crime no matter how you frame it under any political philosophy.

Ok, so I've been gone for a while so someone give me the cliff notes version of what happened.
