Sir Bill Gates...a Knighthood ?

When did people grow up and one day say, "I don't have much, everybody who has more than me, owes me and all of us"? Yeah, that's not called Egalitarianism, that's called Amazon rainforest economics. That's where wealth is distributed, and everybody under the crown canopy gets his or her fair share.

In the real world that **** doesn't fly, what would be the incentive to make "wealth"? Hell, why have currency? Nothing would get developed, people would suffer because I would get "my rightfully deserved new found king's ransom", when in the real world there are people a lot more needy. The more people that are born the more poor everyone gets, yay this is way better!

Hey, you'd be a great village leader or village economics mediator. ;)
Hope that wasn't too pungent!

In America if you can't make money you're a reject, all the tools for getting wealthy are handed to you and paid for by taxes. If you didn't hit the books hard in high school and college, well you're a degenerate. (Not talking about the impaired)

Imitation,

It always amazes me when I encounter obviously well-educated and apparently intelligent people who are so closed-off in their way of thinking that even when you don't say something they still think you did.

You're arguments are baseless simply because you don't even know what the argument really is.
You keep saying that egalitarianism is to want the wealth evenly distributed when I've repeatedly said and explained that that is not the case...but you are so far gone in your own ideology that if I told you the moon was round you'd still swear it was square.

There are factories in Canada already that are OWNED by the employees....and who hire management...the management works for them....and they share the profits of their hard work. In fact it has been proven that companies that are owned and run by the employees are more profitable after they take over the company because they are working for themselves.

This is not taking cash and spreading it around...it's about not working for the aristocratic few. Don't you see the benefits in owning a piece of the place you work in both production and financial awards. Employee based ownership produces better productivity, increases longevity, has higher financial awards, is less of an economic risk in terms of lay-offs and closings, etc...and you definitely would not be seeing the great exodus of jobs going to foreign markets, if employees were running the factories.

Eg ;)

You know I'm just breaking your balls! I read into it but to tell you the truth, I have no desire to read anymore.

Which planets moon or moons and near which galaxy? :halo:

Hi Imitation,

I know you're just breakin' my balls. As much as I like arguing believe me when I say I wouldn't even waste my breath if I thought you couldn't at least see what I'm saying...the rest is just jousting for fun. :D

I realize that alot of my veiws are going to be questioned and argued with because they go against the conventional ways of thinking.

To me it's like sitting around a card table playing a game of 5 card drinking a brew and arguing over whatever...it's not about who wins the argument, it's about how fun the game is.

Eg ;)

Hey I think this is a good time to let everyone know that Conservative states are more generous(aKa Liberal in giving or sharing) than liberal states.
Generosity Index http://www.catalogueforphilanthropy.....php?year=2004

Mississippi 1
Arkansas 2
Oklahoma 3
Louisiana 4
Alabama 5
Tennessee 6
South Dakota 7
Utah 8

EG are you impressed by US Conservatives or are you impressionless.

Hi Imitation,

I'm always very impressed with American generousity...I would love to break into the US market...but that's not possible...as for conservative generousity, well what can I say, it's a known fact, and I do speak as a kind of expert in the field of charity, that conservatives account for the majority of all giving...

just as a for instance: the overwhelming majority of donations are given to religions and their sponsored charities in both our countries ( and conservatives make up the bulk of religious givers )

liberals, generally, have a lot to say but are unwilling to put a price on how much they're willing to donate to have a right to say it...read: cheap little _ _ _ _ _ _ aren't they :D you can quote this at a conveinient time

Personally I think it has to do with years of torture by the church over tithes and the immense guilt trip placed upon them ( conservatives and conservative values ) by the church to attone for their evil greediness :D

Eg ;)

Fidel is spreading the wealth in Cuba. He recently televised a 5 HOUR, speech and he generously anounced that he will subsadize pressure cookers to elevate the kitechens of his people. They will only cost 5 dollars, which is around half the monthly salary of the workers. Last time I checked that was 11 bucks a month. Viva La Cuba!

Hi RoadClosed,

Good ole' Fido...the congenial and charismatic leader of the people's republic of cuba...apparently he's one of these guys who can make you feel relaxed, comfortable, as if you were at home, completely at ease. then bite your head right off like a Tyson vs Godzilla movie.

Gotta give the guy credit though...he's outlived everyone who's ever stood against him, and even survived the breakup of the Soviet Union which was Cuba's major ally and supplier.

Word is the devil's scared that if he ever does die he'll take over hell so Lucyfer ( you did know the devil was a woman...right ) is keeping him alive hoping he'll convert and go to heaven. :D

Eg :D

That guy is like his holiness, the pope. UNSTOPPABLE as in seemingly imortal. 5 hours? Can you imagine Bush speaking for 5 hours? Gadz.

They love him down there. The man must have utterly amazing charisma.
