badger5149, in short, you lack the capacity for logical thought. You add nothing to this board, please leave. > [@Do you consider the following assumption racist?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-consider-the-following-assumption-racist/634252/41): > > I worked in a company that over the years switched from primarily white to hispanic truck mechanics. Every single hispanic mechanic at one time or another was found to have tools in their box that did not belong to them.

I do have a history of successful business strategies. This particular idea would require a good writer which is not me to put together the presentation for investors. I have no experience at attracting investors. The philosophy behind my business would go very well with the prevalent philosphies of TSD. I am kind of hoping to make some friends on here that might be willing to look it over or hear more about it. Nobody on here is going help or invest in your stupid idea. Who would give money to someone so obviously stupid? If you can point to one thread where you have added anything worthwhile to any conversation, I’ll take it all back. Otherwise, kindly fuck the fuck off and find a new board. ---

How does one have a history of successful business strategies, but no experience in attracting investors? Was this history “Lemonaid stand made $4.25”, “Delivered 32 newspapers daily”, “successfully upsold the large fries on numerous occasions” and other similar ventures? ---

Quote from the first post: > [@](#): > > First of all I have not had much exposure to online forums like this so I am likely a bit naive. But I was pondering on how leaders including myself might run things if I were an athiest. I would likley base all me decisions on the good of the planet and the human species long term survival. This would likley involve genocide and at the very least forced steriliaztion. This thought really upsets me because I see this as a very real possibility in the not so distant future. I am probably as kind hearted as anyone could imagine but I would feel the need to make unthinkable choices to save earth. Is this kind of thinking a possible reality??? ---

when a person is getting pitted does somebody go and tell them they are? what’s the procedure, here? and I’ve only met one badger IRL but it was angry and scared the husky mix I was with. now, I don’t claim that this is on topic but you can’t prove it isn’t. ---

> [@Chimera](#): > > How does one have a history of successful business strategies, but no experience in attracting investors? It’s when they see other successful business strategies but take credit for them in their own minds cause they remember thinking that same idea years before hand. “See how successful the original ipod was? Well I had the idea for that back in grade school when I came up with the idea of having all my music in one little box. I just didn’t have the means to getting it made. But I still like to count it as one of my successful business strategies.” ---

Usually a notice is posted in the thread that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Hence why the one time I was pitted, I didn’t know about it for at least a day–I rarely make a point to go back to a thread. If I wind up seeing it near the top again, I read it. If I don’t, I don’t. Exceptions are only when I ask a question. ---
