That’s an interesting point; thanks to your last thread, I learned that I’m in the top 1%. So, yeah, all glory to the status quo, I guess.
I too love

Have you read *Atlas Shrugged *? I think you are ripe for discovering it.
Suggest revision, before submission for grade. Maybe get an eighth grader to look it over, with special attention to what constitutes a sentence. Repetitive lists of names doth not make commentary.
If you want to be taken seriously, develop some actual points, and state them clearly. This scree sounds like the sad rantings of junior high schooler. Rage against the machine, indeed.
Amazing, but true. I’m tempted to make a youtube video.
aaaaaaand the temptation has passed.
Phew. Lucky escape there, eh?
Bolding mine.
Huh. I thought you were a woman.
ETA: Wow, all your incoherent ranting about men is even weirder than I thought.
Let’s see if we can help…
Call this point1:
Now please tell us in specific terms what your opinion is on each of these. State why they are grouped together as if they have something in common. If possible support you statements with credible cites.
Call this point2:
This may actually be close to a real topic of discussion. Please expand you opinion on Obama’s current economic team and outline (what I assume you feel) are their failings. If possible support you statements with credible cites.
Call this point3:
Again, there may be a topic here but in sorely needs to be expnded upon in the ways outlined above.
Ok, just for a laugh I’m actually going to read every single word of the OP and try to figure out the questions and possibly give some answers.
I’m assuming this is a rhetorical question, but I don’t really see what all these people have in common or what they’re lying about.
Another rhetorical question. And I don’t give a fuck what any of those people think of…
Really? I thought BP isn’t really all that popular or respected at all at the moment.
This is still part of the question?
Is this the answer?
Actually, I’m of the (not very original) opinion that most people that have enough to eat, a place to live and are otherwise reasonably secure consider the status quo (ANY status quo) to be preferable to change. I think you’ll find that most people aren’t actually trying to become millionaires.
Cite?
Ok, sure.
This looks really condescending. But I’ve got no idea what “keeping the ‘common’ folk beyond [whatever]” even means.
Politics is inevitable in any system larger than a handful of people. Improve it, run for office, stage a coup. Deal with it.
Meh. It’s been worse. A lot worse too.
What does that mean?
Even the Russian revolution didn’t work that way.
They are?!
Yes. I do. It’s called “starting your own company”. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
Of course not.
What is this again?
You do realize that taxes aren’t put directly in the packets of the politicians, right?
Again: what?!
Tax is what pays for government. Any suggestions to change that?
See above. But, well, you guys did vote them in.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Sad thing is, they’re probably right. Except about the “Hungy” part. That’s clearly wrong.
Don’t humans suck? Are you proposing some kind of genetic program?
Yup. Well, except for the UAE and Saudi Arabia - those guys don’t have to work at all.
You think they don’t know that? What are you talking about now?
So, they’re average citizens. Vote in better ones.
.
Ok, whatever, if you say so.
Yeah yeah yeah.
I don’t know who these people are. So: no.
Which is what, exactly?
I’ve seen way too many assholes (in and out of politics) lately that stir up a lot of shit about how we’re all headed for hell and that have no fucking alternative or strategy to correct it. All they ever do is blame the other guy. Come up with a useful idea. Find someone else with useful ideas. Whatever. But until you do, you’re just a ranting old fart and the best you can hope for is scaring people into thinking you’re the one who can see the apocalypse. Until they realize that you’re not actually doing anything about it. Even then, you need some kind of coherent message.
Well, that and his habit of referring to himself in the third person.
lurking guest, since you’re getting upset at people mocking you, I’ll give you some serious concrit: your writing style is extremely difficult to follow. It closely resembles free-form poetry. I have no idea what your point is, and I don’t feel like taking the time to figure it out. If you wrote in a more coherent manner…well, people would probably still mock you, but it would be because of your content and not your rather bizarre and unreadable posting style.
If you can’t figure out how to write your posts in a way that is legible to other people, may I kindly suggest that the SDMB may not be the best place for your contributions? You might want to look into blogging.
I tried but your wall of text rolled a 20 for a critical hit.
Or therapy.
Or drugs. Either start or stop taking them heavily.
It’s almost like the top 1% in the world are screwing us all over.
We’re not doing it maliciously, we just need minions.
After citations were posted in the last thread proving that most Americans make enough money that they were in the top 1% (that is, you DON’T need to be a multimillionaire, as LG purported to believe), our esteemed colleague scurried away like a frightened puppy and refused to post in the thread any more.
lurking guest - do you concede that most Americans are in the top 1%, and that you don’t need to be a multimillionaire to fall into that category? If not, how do you explain the citations that were given in the other thread?
I don’t suppose you could direct me to those posts? They sound interesting to read.
The thread is here
I’m sorry to have to be the one to break this to you, but the Soviet Union doesn’t exist anymore. I thought you should know, it being one of the biggest events in human history and all.
Not only that, but The Culture Club broke up!
