What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

[IrezumiKiss]

What an ignorant stooge. America is the land of opportunity, not the land of equal outcomes. You gotta move to Cuba or North Korea for that, Mr. Victim.

It's also a land where entitled people who have nothing to bitch about come online to bitch about everything when it's nothing. You think America is going to hell in a handbasket just because your club isn't in the driver's seat, put your money where your mouth is and move before the ship sinks, Mr. Crybaby.

 

[NeverEndingMe]

Don't you feel less of a man, by accepting all that entitlement?

Dear Sir

Your "comment" embodies all that is wrong with you and your elk

Is it time to cull the heard? Actually, you and your elk are doing that quite well, what with the BABY KILLING stuff and all

Have a nice day, SIR

At first we will have to accept restrictions on certain consumer choices and products in exchange for letting the government take care of our personal well-being.* Then come restrictions on speech and activities: a price for maintaining the national well-being.* Eventually all dissent is suppressed and criminalized, as the media falls under the government control, young people are indoctrinated in the "new ways," businesses pay enormous taxes, more and more families descend into misery and live off government subsidies, the economy crumbles, and shortages create long lines at the supermarket.*

The leaders shift the blame to "enemies of the people," saying that this country would have been a dreamland if it weren't for a few greedy reactionaries.* With no one left to object, desperate citizens succumb to the hatred and accept the idea that eliminating the few is a fair price to pay for improving the lives of the many.* Then they accept the idea that eliminating an entire class of people is a small price to pay.* But despite all the bloodletting, the promised collectivist paradise never arrives and the misery only increases.* By now the demoralized, destitute masses are fully separated from the ruling elites by an impenetrable wall of privilege.

The ultimate price -- the relentless sacrifice of millions of people: their work, careers, ambitions, property, and lives -- has been paid to reach an unattainable economic mirage, a phantom concocted in the feverish minds of a few maniacs obsessed with class envy.

Is this one of those C&P posts that you don't actually believe? I'm just curious because why waste my time responding to something that you are just going to run from like your ass is on fire and your hair is catching.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

You don't have conversations.

Therefore you get no answer; just get to your usual ad hominem.

You don't give a fuck what I think or believe in, because you already know, thanks to the running dialog in your head, what I think and believe in.

Typical. Hedging your bets on the very likely chance that this C&P, like so many others, is a pant-load.

How very Vette of you.

P.S. Please learn what Ad Hominem is before you fail to use it properly again. Contrary to what you think it does not mean, punching holes in your argument or disagreeing with you.

That's more of what we expect.

No, it means personal attack and that is your SOP. You think it is "punching holes," but it generally has nothing to do with what was said but what you deem the poster thinks.

You just proved it.

If you had read busybody's post, which is what I responded to and for that reason quoted it, then from what he said prompted me to post something that would amuse him.

Now that's rich, decry "personal attacks" on one hand while responding to Dizzybooby as if he does anything but. I don't ready his posts because he's an offensive racist douche.

Somehow in your mind asking you if you believed what you posted or if you were going to pull another "I just posted it, I don't necessarily believe it" is a personal attack. Just like you insisted when your precious "FairTax" was assaulted. Play the victim, it's your usual M.O.

The funniest part is that you think you proved something, other than that you once again seem to lack the strength of your convictions.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

If your were remotely interested in conversation, I would engage and humor you.

You are only interested in being right.

If it were any other way, you would be wondering how I was able to state with such conviction and unwavering faith for all this time past that we were entering a period of stagnation, a Lost Decade, but alas, all you care about is the political gain that you can make of the economy and smiting all your enemies who would look out across the numbers and the land daring to say that the Emperor's Economy has no Growth (beyond the natural expansion of a growing population).

That's not what ad hominem is. You really need to learn what words mean before using them, Jen.

You suffer from the same illness as does merc.

I did not say it was ad hominem, you didn't read with comprehension, you read to attack and belittle...

I said, he could get to his ad hominem without any input on my part.

Oh so this isn't another one of your failures to use the term appropriately?

Tell us again how "it's not ad hominem if it's true"...

 

[IrezumiKiss]

It's a place where hard working people create wealth and where low class nonproductive assholes who produce nothing vote for progressives who promise to steal it for them. I say fuck them and their political hacks. Oh, and fuck you too.

It's also a place where a certain group of people fuck over other groups of people in getting over because they think and look different from them, then lobby for legislation to cement that fucking over into a legal process so they can keep getting over. Then, when more sensible heads prevail and overturn those legalities in order to make living more fair for all Americans, that former certain group of people bitch and moan and lie and bullshit their way into stymieing progress because they think their bullshit entitlements are being taken away from them. Or in better words, that their "freedom" is being infringed upon. Then they say shit like "we gotta water the tree of liberty" or "we gotta take back America." Cry me a river some more, Obsoleto. Oh, and fuck you three.

Okay.

QUOTE ME and show me how I misused the term!

Use underlines, whatever it takes, prove me to be the idiot you are accusing me of being.

If you cannot, then it proves that what I am saying is true about you!

Regardless, you still misused the term.

PROVE IT!

You misused the term because UD gives you substantive arguments even if you disagree with them.

Fuck off.

I knew you were just shooting from the hip.

You see the word ad hominem and you simply turn off your brain and go on attack!

You regularly misuse the term ad hominem as a homonym for attacks on you. That's not what the term means. You're just wrong.

Dances With Falsehoods always keeps bellowing for MOAR PROOF when people dare to disagree with his narrative.

He has to keep them playin' defense, otherwise people might start to recognize just how shallow and intellectually fraudulent his Ayn Rand-inspired dogma really is.

Okay.

If I quoted you I'm sure you'd take responsibility for your post and own up to your failure to know words, right?
