He he…

In every country across the Globe…it is the simple folks… who keep striving and pushing and trying to make ‘things’ better for their children, and grand-children.

Across the stupid boundaries of South America, the folks from the ‘Stahns’, from India to Russia to Spain to the Netherlands …WHAT has the most value?

Gems? Water? Land? Oil? Wall Street? Cars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars ? “Wall Street” trades that can make you a MULTI-MILLIONAIRE in a “New York” minute?

The WTO…the IMF…

Oh, oh… CRAZY!..

C’mon folks…

PLEASE

Bill Clinton, the United Arab Emerits Guy…

The ‘Bush’ folks… (for a Generation or so…)

ALL have something in common: The DESIRE to keep themselves in POWER around the GLOBE and to keep their MONEY, keep on making MONEY.

(Did you throw up in your mouth just a little bit thinking about these self-styled
assholes?)

Bill and Hillary Clinton’s daughter just got married…SO???

Why the HELLshould that Matter to any ONE?

Good job…stupid people.

Let the likes of Bill/Hillary Clinton…John Boehner…Mitch McConnel…Michael Moore…Barak Obama…Timothy Geitner…Larry Summers…Alan Greenspan…

ALL of them weasal their way into ‘explaining’ why UNION****jobs are ‘killing’ our economy.

It’s about time the multi-Millionaire and BILLIONAIR persons on this Planet begin to see one another as EQUALS.

You think your effin Hedge Funds Operators are so smart?

There is no million or billion amounts of dollars access to those dollars that makes you more creative, pure, worthy or ‘entitled’ to a different lifestyle.

YOU want to ‘CALL THE SHOTS’ about geography …

You STUPID assholes who chose making money over the lives of your children and neighbors and Family.

Go ahead…s a v a g a e…the reasons for sticking close to family.

OF COURSE Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Alan Greenspan and other ‘Outliers’ blather about what is “True”…

IF a man can make as much in *(one) 1 hour as another man must work to make in an entire year…there is something VERY WRONG with the extrapolation of worth.

The Political Class
The Business Class
The Military Class…

Have us all “Snookered”…

BILLIONS for WAR.

BILLIONS for the 2% who seek to gain and hold on to their MONEY,

Have they EVER worried about clothes and shoes and school supplies that must be bought before September?

Good Luck to you multi-millionaire and billionaire folks in the United States of America and the EUA and Russua and China…

No ‘effin’ wonder that Barack Obama has had his hair turn white in the last 18 months…

Tough Darts.

Hold close to your heart Michelle, Sasha and Melia…you strove for Power… you GOT it.

How’s that workin’ for you?

I guess it is ‘comfortable’ that the ‘voting class’ can be twisted and turned and made to hold one of you guys in POWER.

Fight On.

YOU Repuclians and Democrats.

Hold ON to your SMALL Business Enterprises in the HOUSE and SENATE.

Your Staffers and your, and THEIR, determination to hang on to your Seat.

In the House or in the Senate.

Screw the People…

The FIEFDOM is ALL that matters.

Like the song says, the rich get richer, the poor get children. But seriously, what are you trying to accomplish with the post? I think what I’m supposed to get from this post is that there are rich and powerful people out there, like the Bushes, and the Clintons, and some guy from the United Arab Emirates, and that’s a bad thing. While I grok what you’re saying, I don’t really know what to do about it, and you don’t seem to make any suggestions. Pretty much every society above hunter gatherer tribes; every society that’s discovered the concept of surplus, and therefore the concept of wealth, has developed social stratification. Wealth and power are pretty much never distributed equally. It’s pretty inevitable that they won’t be. Some people are more ruthless, or luckier, or harder workers, or more charismatic, or stronger, or in some other way more able to accumulate wealth and/or power than others. And, as people do, they try to influence the society to help them hold onto wealth and power.

This is really, I think, one of those inevitable thing, because it’s happened over and over again across societies. It’s pretty constant, although the way people accumulate power varies throughout societies. So. I’m wondering, first of all, why it bothers you. Does it offend some sense of justice or equity that you have? Secondly, what do you suggest doing about it?

Sweet! Here we go again! This time I’m in before LG inevitably slinks away and stops responding to her threads, so there’s a slight chance I’ll finally get an answer to my question!

Lurking Guest: Here is the question I’ve been asking for the last three or four of these incomprehensible gibberish-filled threads of yours. Several threads back, you made the claim that in order to be in the top 1% of the world, wealth-wise, you’d have to be a multimillionaire. Cites were posted that conclusively proved you completely wrong, and, in fact, you only need to be earning roughly $40,000 a year to be in the top 1%. So, do you admit that you were wrong about that statement? If not, how do you explain those citations?

Also, as long as you’re in a question-answering mood, perhaps you could explain why you keep starting these threads that are all basically the same thing, respond for a day or so, and then stop posting to them and instead start a whole new one?

Any idiot can make sweeping generalizations to criticize everything.

When you have a comprehensive, practical, feasible, researched, detailed, and well-thought-out plan to fix the world, let us know.

5

Hunh, I thought Michael Moore was pro-union.

Anyway, since the OP said “Please”, I’ll just go ahead and…

Er, what was it we are supposed to do, exactly?

6

I know you aren’t asking me, but will you stop banging on as if that is a serious point against LG’s overall argument that the mega-rich are an untrustworthy bunch of bastards… probably even the ones that do a lot of good work for charity, too? You do not get to be a multi-billionaire by being Mr or Mrs Nice Person.

Pretty please?

The kindergarten class…

Go back there, please.

Do you just have a template that duplicates the same, stupid thread every week?

Lurking might be a better pastime for you.

9

These things read a lot better if you imagine them being recited by a Glenn-Becklike speaker. An AntiBeck, essentially.

The OP just needs his own cable access TV show.

10

Why does he hate paragraphs so much? My finger is tired from scrolling.

11

The other thing I don’t get:

He’s made 160 posts, and started 26 threads.

(does starting a threads count as a post?)

I need no reason to ban him,

there is also no reason to reply to these threads
but is it possible for a mod to ask him to start fewer threads
and maybe participate in the ones he does start

and maybe use a paragraph or two
I feel like I’m writing in Fortran

Oh, man, I would’ve loved to have seen Lurking Guest go up against bullrun.

These rants get better if you stop looking for meaning and read them as free verse. I like to put on a black turtleneck, light up a clove cigarette and play a bongo to the beat of the ellipses.

I don’t care about his/her answer. This is sort of a Turing test. Just once, someday, I’m going to get one of these lunatics to actually acknowledge reality in some tiny, insignificant way. Here we have one small, specific instance where something he/she said is clearly and unambiguously wrong. If we can get him/her to simply admit that, then I feel I will have accomplished something.

14

Could someone ask **Frank **to start a Why haven’t classes been banned yet thread?

15

Funny you should ask!

16

I fucking love this guy! It is like surrealistic Dada posting at its best. I find that the trick is to not try to read for comprehension, rather read and just sort of let the words flow over you. They provoke a sublime, almost beautiful emotional response. His posts are sort of like the Jackson Pollock of message boards.

It has been far too long since I have seen this sort of unapologetic crazy on this message board, In my opinion the boards have been impoverished by this lack. This is very refreshing.

So carry on you mad bastard OP!

My Turing test question:

Why should I think income diversity is a bad thing?

That is all.

Except that Jackson Pollock was actually GOOD!

I’ve found that the poor and down-trodden are an untrustworthy bunch of bastards as well. Being “poor” does not confer on a person any sort of nobility whatsoever.
