Fly, that is single-handedly the dubmbest fucking argument I've ever heard that over population isn't real. I'm just sitting here praying that was a troll.

What it boils down to Sonya is I don't think they (our government) spends my tax money wisely, so the less of it they have, the better. The more things that are in the private sector where things are driven by competition, the better. Do you not agree with that in principle?

God I wish I didn't come back in here.

G-Fist, whatever arguments you get into, whatever claims you may make, whatever people may say about you, know that you will never, ever look as fucking batshit as Fly. Ever.

I see your bar graph and raise you two pie charts:

Also aside from dividends from the stock comes the

'bonuses'

that are not part of a CEO/CFO/etc. salary but typically taken right off the top of the profit lines to limit tax liabilities etc.

There is more to that subject as well & as good as it sounds its really another play for power

I do have to say he never presented an argument so hes effectually not in the debate or conversation. Just popping in and making remarks.


If your serious about this, I HIGHLY recommend two things.

1. Read (or listen to) the book, "Thinking Fast, and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman. This will give you a lot of insight into how we think. It's also got a lot of great information about different mental biases. The author is a nobel prize winner and for the majority of his career was a psychologist with a solid background in mathematical statistics. His life's work so to speak is figuring out WHY humans make the decisions we make.

2. Take a logic course at your local community college. Logic classes are hard as fuck if you've never taken one but once you "get it", you will be much more mentally well armed and able to recognize and filter bullshit.

Yeah, planned on going back to school here in May. I'll check that book out. Its mostly just an inability to effectively convey what the fuck I want too and its fucking aggravating. This does however lead to some hilarious forum shit. Good shit all around though. Been fun.
