nycjamie ::: Favorites Nice creative writing job there, son. It's funny, I look back down the whole thread and saw not one instance of you even understanding the issue in the slightest. The only thing you proved was your own inability to grasp basic concepts and your almost hysterical tendency to cover your tracks with the most inane philosophical gibberish. 07-07-30 22:51:01 _____________________________________________________
nycjamie ::: Favorites I have remained constant in my views throughout this whole thing and it is quite clearly you who squirmed. If you're satisfied with your performance here, then all the power to ya matey. 07-07-30 22:51:12 _____________________________________________________
wolfwolfwolf1979 ::: Favorites You must be joking. Your argument makes absolutely no logical sense in any way shape or form fathomable. I've gone over the specific reasons why it makes no logical sense, and your responses have never produced any evidence otherwise. All you do is call me "wolfboy" and claim I am making a "straw man" and that "a little kid could understand" in an attempt to discredit me but you never patch up the contradictions in your standard of value. 07-07-31 18:50:55 _____________________________________________________
wolfwolfwolf1979 ::: Favorites My "stupid-fumes"? If you use the word "everyone" it doesn't invoke the collective? I realize at this point that you are really not worth arguing with...you make no sense and you are a waste of my time. You have proven nothing in any of your comments but the lengths you will go to in order to avoid being wrong. 07-07-31 18:59:48 _____________________________________________________
FletchforFreedom ::: Favorites The title should read "The Gruesome Results of the Rejection of Capitalism". It's no accident that more capitalist countries are prosperous and those that fail to protect private property rights are impoverished. And, no, it has nothing to do with "exploitation"... 07-08-03 18:30:18 _____________________________________________________
nycjamie ::: Favorites And at every step of the way, I showed how your perception and analysis of my argument was confounded by the fact that you didn't even remotely understand it, which is why you DID set about creating a straw man, Wolfie Baby. And yes, a little kid could understand. I may have repeated these points but only because they are concretes. 07-08-06 23:02:23 _____________________________________________________

nycjamie ::: Favorites If I use the phrase "everyone is an individual" does this sound like a contradiction to you? I evoke both the individual and "the collective". I am a waste of your time only in that you are so obviously incapable of understanding the most basic concepts. I make no sense to you because you are an idiot. That's truly the best way of putting it. 07-08-06 23:20:43 _____________________________________________________
nycjamie ::: Favorites Sorry for the delay by the way, I was on vacation. 07-08-06 23:22:53 _____________________________________________________
nycjamie ::: Favorites And by the way, the painting in this video was obviously done by someone with a miserable, wretched sense of life. I don't know why such people feel like they have to communicate their dementia to others. 07-08-06 23:26:08 _____________________________________________________
