Teo, to someone who has been called ignorant, despicable and other such things in the past few days (which funny enough, neither you nor anyone of the libertarian clique had a problem with, although they did have a problem with me talking back), "spoiled little rich kid" seems rather tame.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Yeah, I'm a number. I'll live and die in (relative) poverty-stricken obscurity. I'm okay with that. I won't be famous and I won't make money. I won't have contributed anything of intrinsic value to the human race and history shall condemn me to non-memory. I prefer it that way.
As long as I get the chance to create some of the things and work on some of the ideas beating out of my skull while I'm alive, I'll be alright with it. Money won't make me live forever. It may make the trip I'm taking easier (sure it could), but I don't want to cheat it. I know I'd be singing a different tune if I lost my home or if I was being tortured - but that's okay, too. We all spew useless bullsh*t that never helps and we pontificate on any number of subjects and then we die. I understand how much of a big Kafkaesque construct it is, human life. No sense in me preaching any point. I'm not fatalist or nihilist or any of that. I want to do what my mind lusts for me to do within my own (self-constructed) ethical basis and it'll only make an impact like a butterfly-effect type impact.
I don't agree or disagree with most of what Slarti posts, but he does some a bit more acerbic and, err, provocative this fine evening.

The Doc, I used to think the same. But he calls everyone that disagrees with him "spoiled little rich kid" without knowing sh*t about backgrounds of people. Then he continues to say many other things on the last pages that left me baffled.
I have learnt to disagree with you respectfully Doc (at least I think so). Why can't he?

Funny, I don't agree with Slarti on everything he says, but he seems a perfectly nice individual to me.

Slarti is the most hateful person I've ever met, online or otherwise. His hate is just disguised as care for the poor. His hate thus fools people into believing he is reacting like a crusader for justice. Nothing more. I'll try to ignore him thusa saving the forum from these ugly discussions. He knows how to make people react though, ultra-politicized person he is.

JS...they are allowed to dish it out. Call you ignorant, call you despicable, and so forth. But you're not allowed to argue back.

Hey, some old rich dude could use that extra 13,000 that your family is taking from him, in order to buy a fifth mansion or a third jet or just hoard away somewhere in the Caymans. Tighten the belt, papa CEO needs a brand new Jag.

I do have central heat and water service. I've got the internet and I've got several things others don't. My son has privileges many children do not.
But you could argue this forever. Those children that live in low income families? They're lucky! At least they have homes and food. The children with no homes or food are lucky! At least they aren't being bombed by a governmental body. Those children bombed in foreign countries? They're lucky! At least they aren't being tortured first! Those children being tortured and bombed in foreign countries? They're lucky! At least they aren't being tortured for longer periods of time and with more vicious cruelty.

Slarti, please, take your medications.
Easy Money (Js), since it is obvious you didn't understand why I mentioned I come from Ecuador, let me explain: Slarti here called me spoiled little rich kid (the only thing he can say, normally he uses pics and captions and cartoons like a true adult), without knowing where I come from or whether I am actually rich or not. I come from Ecuador, a third world country. There was a big chance I could have been poorer than what Slarti knows as poor. Besides from that, I actually am poor, making less than Slarti and only starting to improve thanks to hard work and responsibility (nothing Slarti ever recommends). Yet he called me spoiled little rich kid.
I was not using my country as a stereotype. Believe me, I love it way more than you. It is where all my roots come from and where I lived since I was born until I migrated. There is nothing to discuss with you really, Easy Money.

Yet you have central heating and water service... They won't be satisfied until you live in abject poverty.

OK you are an old ahole, what was your point again?

I don't really think I was making a point. I was a little puzzled by your sudden, unprovoked name calling, but I guess it's all that I can really expect from you.

I'm sure you are totally happy T with people being tortured to death and/or being thrown out of helicopters into the sea.
