Emob78: Nobody needs a massive collection of video games? I just hope that comment is sinking in with everyone here. I'm sure that about 99% of everyone here would disagree with that.
And I have no problem with you or anyone else calling me a capitalist pig, a Sith, an MRA nut, a right wing loser, or any of the other wonderful terms I've been called here. Sticks and stones, bro. Sticks and stones. Maybe with a few more sticks and stones we can make a fire, toss some crappy games on top and keep warm at night. Save on the electric bill.
monkeydelarge: In the end, it is sticks and stones. But you were the one who complained about me calling you a Sith Lord. And I could of called you something a lot worse. Because Sith Lords, at least have cool looking armor, a light saber and can kick other people's asses in combat. But because "wienie" wasn't too bad, I didn't want to unleash a barrage of verbal poo flinging.
MarioFanaticXV: Yes, it's those who don't want to steal others money that are greedy; those who want to take money from others without doing anything to earn it? They're the truly generous ones![/sarcasm]
monkeydelarge: So you are saying people who ask(or demand) for help so they don't starve to death, freeze to death or die or just suffer from all the other bad things that can happen to an unfortunate person is greedy? It seems, you need to look up the definition for greed.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/greed So in your eyes, if a homeless starving guy with mental problems asks you for 50 cents so he can save up for a cheeseburger or a can of soup, he is a greedy bastard, right? Clearly this homeless guy is as greedy as the infamous Marcus Licinius Crassus, right?
You do realize that taking a more capitalistic approach and letting people pick themselves up instead of keeping them bound to welfare would actually help more people than it would hurt, correct? Also, conservatives (who are typically capitalists) tend to give more of their money to charity than liberals (who have become increasingly socialist over the last few decades, and many are even self-proclaimed socialists).
Also, how many people has socialism brought out of poverty? How many people has capitalism brought out of poverty? Only capitalism allows the poor to become rich, as it prevents the idea of a fixed station in life- instead, you have the power to shape your own destiny. In socialism, the government decides what you get, and steals a bunch so that a few elites can have everything, at the expense of everyone else. But hey, I guess all those small business owners are just being greedy by creating jobs, giving to charity, and trying to make an honest living, right?
Also, I find it funny that you think it's generous to take someone else's money for yourself, but greedy to let them keep what's rightfully theirs.
