The people I like least

Follow 3 qualifications:

1) smart/talented
2) lazy/not money oriented
3) redistributionists

Discuss.

[Ban Kenobi]

I can't think of any people who meet all three off the top of my head.

[DinoDoc]

Ozzy?

[KrazyHorse]

Half the people here.

[KrazyHorse]

Most euro posters

[KrazyHorse]

Any two of those I am fine with. Less with 2 and 3, but at least OK.

[SlowwHand]

Lazy irritates me the most. Lazy with the talent to succeed is the worst. There's nothing lazier than the average union worker with seniority.

"Like" is a very strange concept indeed for a sociopath...

[MikeH]

He doesn't like happy people.

[dannubis]

He doesn't like people.

So from what I understand, basically you when you were a PhD student?

(might not have met qualification number 2 I suppose)

[MikeH]

I can't work out if he means he's considering not money orientated to be equivalent to lazy or if either of those things in combination with the other two is what he doesn't like. I assumed the latter, but the former is a better troll.

His issue is people who have talent but aren't applying themselves because :

1, they are lazy and don't want to develop themselves or
2, they have some bull**** about 'not being money oriented' as to why they aren't working harder. I've heard that second plenty of times. Sure, there's something to be said for living within your means, but this is different. As for 3,

3, they want to partake of the fruits of other people's labor.

This makes perfect sense to me. KH has developed his talents so that he's earned his pay. I'm sure he sees it as more that he's worked hard for it as opposed to many of the posters here on the forum who are equally talented and have not. It would probably bother me too if I were in his position. As a teacher, it bothers me more that people don't understand the skills they do have and convince themselves that they will never amount to anything.

Why do you have such reading comprehension issues...!?

He's such a good little Christian too.

And all that believed were together , and had all things common;And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

Communists want to partake of the fruits of others. That's exactly what redistribution is all about - with the nomenklatura at the top of the heap. It's a sweet arrangement really, everyone else suffers except for you.

But hey, if you don't believe in 3, then clearly this is what you believe to be fair: Wealth Inequality in America

Some people have more talent than others, and some work harder with what they have. Should they not be compensated more for working harder?

Worst of all is that the people at the top have managed to brainwash you into thinking you're onto a good deal!

If anything I've only recently undone the brainwashing I underwent in public school education in Canada. I was a Wilsonian when I came out of high school.
