CAPITALISTISM STUPID, OR STUPID AND PSYCHOTIC?

I can take this same argument and flip it to what Communism is supposed to be et ketra.

Capitalism: G-d's way of determining who is smart and who is poor.
-Ron Swanson

Must help poor by dragging down everyone to there level, yeah fuck yeah everyone will become a worker.

Or in other words luck...

Wiser words have never been spoken.

The individual matters even less in communism though...

Or who inherited the most from their rich parents.

Cool sig.

That's never been true for any system. The individual, and more importantly his thoughts and preferences, will always remain an intricate part of the equation. Whether this is a good or bad thing is a matter of context.

And thus it was Viking got rich off of lemons while everyone debated on the forums.

I think you should all drop the ideological, 'Capitalist versus Communist' threads from now on, it does nothing but promote horrid, disgusting behaviour and irrational thoughts.

Hmm, multiple endings? (of course I mean, more than 2)

And the 'white' guy on the ground bleeding is mixed.

Four in total I think.

So do most other threads.
If you look at threads that are not about Communism or Capitalism or both, you will see that in the long run, when the thread has a reletively long life, some people start attacking one another and in some cases, spouting nonsense.
But it is important to realize three facts:
1. Not having them is not a guarentee of any kind that it will not happen.
2. This site is somewhat a cause of the discussions themselves. For the most part, even when people expound their political ideologies, there is some limit. The site name is not because the progenator of the forums necessarily believes in Communism, but it does, I believe, draw people who believe that there is enough free thought and sentiment on the subject to freely express their belief in it. Having told many of my associates about the forums [having referenced it in idle conversation] they immediately thought it a liberal, or even Communist site based solely on its name. In actuality, this site is reletively neutral, or even Conservative.
In short, the site itself perpetuates the discussion.
3. If we run away from the discussion of a subject based solely on its highly controvercial nature, we may as well not have a debate section at all. The controversy and the conflicting views are what make it intresting and draw people to them.

It is unfortunate that some individuals decide to insult others and/or use irrational conclusions [which, in of itself, is a reletive and subjective phrase], but that is unavoidable and inevitable in some respects, especially since there is only so much control on an internet forums and banning people for being impassioned is not generally a good moderating practice. There is a line to be drawn, but there is also the other side of that line - the side before that line occures.

And calling their thoughts 'irrational' is hardly going to endear them to your message.

Not going to expand on this, or counter it too much because it's an hour and a half past midnight and I'm tired like you wouldn't believe.

Anyway, if these forums can't handle having a reasonable debate about it, these kinds of threads shouldn't be created. They definately shouldn't be created for the sole purpose, or atleast having a little bit to do with insulting other members or a race of people. The Political/Current Events Coffee House can still run without having to discuss these particular matters, and if they are incorporated into the subject, that is fine, but the subject should not be based around ideology and it should not provoke heated arguments.

Ok, most people here don't know shit about capitalism. Capitalism DOES NOT harm society in anyway. Capitalism is programmed into the human mind nearly as much as eating when you're hungry. The things i have read a downright disgusting and you should be ashamed. To all the pigs shouting "he inherited it", get a brain with more than 5 IQ dipshits. Capitalism is a system where smarter and more able people rise higher. Inheritance has nothing to do with it.

The 1% has earned my respect for being skilled enough to actually hold that much income. If you are working in a factory, breaking your back and having a horrible life, capitalism is not to blame, YOU ARE. Capitalism is a sieve that makes the dumb poor and the smart rich.

My exact feelings about this post. You can't blame everyone for their circumstances nor is every rich person rich because of intelligence or skill.

In such hard economic times anything can happen to put someone in a bad spot. Sickness, injury, being laid off due to no fault of your own. Jobs are harder to find. And you have people like Paris Hilton who just have a fuckton of money for doing absolutely nothing. Judging people and saying you're poor because you're lazy or stupid is ridiculous and disgusting.

I don't really see how Mitt Romney earning his money has anything to do with the fact that it's true that not all rich people are rich because of skill or intelligence on their part. I wasn't saying the majority are not skilled or smart, I was saying that it's not all to do with that. The circumstances you're born into do play a large role as well.
