You are all such fucking idiots. It's not that capitalism is 'wired' into people. Self-interest is. Socialism falls prey to self-interest. A society of slackers is hardly an efficient one. |

It wasn't an answer in any case, it was a statement. You can't say "The reason is becuase" (you only need to say 'is', 'because' is redundant here) and then state a quality of capitalism. There's no causality there. You can't be 'wired' to do something because of an unsubtantiated claim that that thing is the best thing. Proof of people being 'wired' to do something would be that this is what they almost always do. Infants suck becuase they are 'wired' to, and it's demonstrable that almost all of them do. You could argue that violence is 'wired' into people. Arguing that as recent a developemnt as capitalism is 'wired' into people is like saying we're 'wired' to drive cars. The reason you never actually argue points is you don't even understand what argument is. All your arguments boil down to: This is the way it is becuase that's the way I think things really are. Humans do all sorts of things that are not the 'peak' of the mountain top. (You knew that the peak is the top of a mountain, right). Aside rom your personal endorsement of capitalism, that statement offers absolutely nothing. WHEEEE, I'm taking you seriously, dumbo! |

| Zhukov | You know perfectly well that the crap you just posted had nothing to do with what I asked you to explain. I'll hold you to answering properly, though. As usual. | ||

What was your question again? Oh yeah.. The reason human beings are wired towards capitalism is because capitalism lets mankind achieve to the fullest of his potential. It's the peak of the mountain top when it comes to human thought. People chose socialism because they feel that "security" can take place over "freedom" so they chose a system that grants them gifts that they are 1) unable or 2) unwilling to get themselves. If that is what you asked, there is your answer. If it isnt, I'll answer it later. |

You never do, because you have no idea about the subject which I always question you on. You make ignorant remarks and then just ignore any challenge of those remarks. It would annoy me less if you just said "I dont have to explain myself/back-up/prove anything" rather than just ignore then go off at others for dodging your points. Maybe even "I don't know" could prove useful to you. |

"The only reason you don't respect a thing I say is because you just don't want to." Oh, boo-hoo. Why would I take the time to hear out all those other people and not you? It's because you do a worse job than any of them. I don't even mke fun of half those people. Do you think it's cause you're so good at 'putting out' your ideas? It's because you are laugh riot. I promise you, if you ever, ever put up evidence that you are the president of Guam, I will honor it. For instance. I think it's great you spoke to people about weight loss. I believe you lost a lot of weight and have insights about the will power it took to do it tht might benefit others. I also enjoyed your aqualung joke. I liked it enough I didn't even notice if there was anything wrong with the gramar. I'm going to assume you saw a photo of me with glasses. I can only think of one place that's posted. All you got from that is that you think I look like an art fag? Seriously, now, Vinth. "The only reason you don't respect a thing I say is because you just don't want to." I think it's prettty clear that decribes you way more than it does me. Be a man. |

How can you sit here and persist in the argument that you don't need to back your arguments up with facts? Where did you even construct this catastrophic failure of logic? Don't dismiss the young'n, all of this teeth have come in and he knows who he is by now. There's nothing to be afraid of, this version can thwart your arguments painlessly without resorting to "fatty fat fat fat" or your ever-so-creative painting of the walls with "artfag". Bring it on, slut. |

The only reason you don't respect a thing I say is because you just don't want to. I could have evidence that shows that I am the President of Guam and you would go on about a misspelling of "President" that I had made. Just because your artfag buddies pump you up as being smart, that doesn't mean you are. Like I said before, in an open honest debate I could kick your dumb fucking ass all over the place. |

Shh now. Shhhhh. I know you don't have to back uop anythung you say here. I know. Of course you don't. I just personally think you can't. But you don't have to prove anything to anyone. Shhhh, now. "The problem you all have is that you don't have anyone in your life to make you stand up for what you say. I do that." Sspad already made the point tthat you have no idea who we hng round with. Leave the psychic act to Naldo. Here's a list of people on this board in order of how often I disagree with them, all of whom fulfill the function you ASCRIBE solely to yourself. Naldo One and Only Abcdxzxxx Bombs Eyetalian El Blanco Pern Brandon Some of these guys are fine be me. Some of them I actually like lot. ALL of them, even Naldo, do a MUCH MUCH better job than you of supporting their beliefs and making me think. AL of them support their statements with more intelligence. AL of them or more likely to make a substantiated argument. You are the VERY WORST at conveying your beiefs. NONE of them are as hysterical as you. Punching bag? Excellent. Sparring partner? Crap. |

How on earth can there be meaningful discussion if people only post their beliefs, without any facts? Unemployment is at 10% No, 80% No, 10% No, 80% No, 10% ETC |

| sspadowsky | A tip to consider: When you "state your beliefs that you have because of the facts you have gathered and the beliefs that you have" (oh God, that's pricesless). try providing some of those facts. Again, something you routinely fail to do. For example, calling Kerry supporters "neanderthals" only makes you look like a prick, which is already well-established here. But it doesn't prove anything else. And it's certainly not something that can be looked up, which is something else you (almost) never do. | ||

sspadowsky, you are just too cute. It's a shame that your political debate skills should be put to sleep. I don't have to back up anything I say here. My function on this message board is to state my beliefs that I have because of the facts I have gathered and the beliefs I have. When someone argues against me, I look up what they say and see if it warrents further discussion or research. You do not do the same for me, because it is easier for you to convince yourselves that I am stupid so when you call me "stupid" you can feel better about yourselves. |

Do you mean, "stand up for what you say," or "back up what you say"? It's easy to stand up for what you say. It's as simple as saying "I really believe this." Fine. Anyone can do that. It's not special. "Backing up what you say," on the other hand, is more difficult, more admirable, and above all, something that you routinely fail to do. You're a big, lying sack of shit, Vince. You never back up anything you say, ever. Try that, and maybe you'll get some of that admiration and respect you think you have. Quote:

Really Vince, you are the worst right wing/Libertarian leanings person I have ever come across. You are brainless and you would not destroy anyone in a face to face debate. Everything you have ever said is stupid, makes no sense, and is laughed at. You are the biggest joke of a person I have ever encountered. |

Continue. And while you're continuing if you can remind me of a single time where you backed up anything you've said, I'll consider this day well spent. |
