Sorry Elok, but just this once...
Originally posted by DaShi View PostI attacked Elok's argument and you for wholeheartedly agreeing with it. If you felt that my characterization of the argument was wrong, then you should have said so. But you said nothing even close to it. Instead, you attempted to apply unattributed characteristics to me (those you expressedly portrayed as negative) that are not supported by any statements I've thus made in this thread. Hence, my critique of your bland use of ad hominem.
Seriously?“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

I clearly stated why you did it. And hiding behind the "I was just joking" is so lame.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”
"Capitalism ho!"

Just put me on ignore and you and Elok and go back to being butt buddies.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

Of course there should be some limits on the freedom to make money but overall it's been a smashing success.
Furthermore, if "of course there should be some limits on the freedom to make money", why not limits on other freedoms? Where does the difference come into play?“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

No, as I said before, you simply prefer to use ad hominem rather than address the issue at hand. See your above post.
Really, you and Elok are painfully inept at this.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

Your post of no surprise that we'd be embracing medieval thinking is a classic case of ad hominem. Shall I bring out the pot & kettle picture again?“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Obviously they aren't as hung up on hyper-individual rights which leads many in the US react in shock and panic when the term "socialist medicine" is mentioned. I'm not saying Europe is some dreamland, but I am saying they understand the concept of us being together in a society better than the US does.

That, of course, is a matter of opinion.
(FWIW, that definition may also apply to children prior to, say, 6 months old?)“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Feelings. Bah, just a whole bunch of trouble.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”
