an argument for a deflationary policy in the You Ess of Heeeeey

[The Good Reverend Roger]

See, most guys, I'd assume they were arguing from butthurt at this point.

But I don't think that's what you're doing.  I think you really believe this garbage that the children deserve what they get.

You're a sad example of a primate.

[Disco Pickle]

Hey, go fuck yourself.  Here's what I said, and you should probably get in the habit of actually quoting people before you lie about what they said.  It'll make you look even funnier.

You know what, if you're too tired to teach your children how to do things better than you did?

FUCK YOU

Your family and your children will get everything that's coming to them.

And I still wholeheartedly believe that.

This is why you aren't actually a human being.  You're more of a thin smear of shit with an Iphone.

lol iphone.  i can't afford an iPhone.  im using a 4 year old samsung phone I bought second hand, driving a 21 year old vehicle, (which I love, btw.  91 wrangler, straight 6, you'd probably like it despite despising me) and i'm too busy saving money so that my child doesn't have to start at the bottom. 

and by your view, that's just too much to ask people to do.  and inhuman to boot.  they're so fragile, humans. 

[EDIT]edit for  math fail.  12 is 21 backwards. 

I have no excuse.

I don't care.

You're taking a few things for granted, here...

How would you know?

[Disco Pickle]

of course you don't care. it doesn't fit your narrative. 

i do take a few things for granted.  i do it often.  i likely don't do it any more than anyone else in this country, over any given timeframe.  i welcome being reminded of when i do.  it's grounding and reminds me from where i came when i loose sight of it. 


and i wouldn't know any more about what you truly believe based on a few short sentences than you would about mine, but i thought that was the name of the game we were playing. 

i know nothing substansive about your beliefs or thoughts, because i don't know you outside of the things you write here.  it was wrong of me to say otherwise.

[edit] sorry for the capitalization as well.  difficult to type on this thing.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Look, it doesn't do much good to say shit like that.  It's like being insulted by the toaster.  I'm just not feeling it.

And I still wholeheartedly believe that.  It's one of the only things that's kept the species from getting eaten by predators, only now the only natural predator we have outside of camping in the wilderness is other humans.  Teaching your children about what NOT to do should your biggest contribution to their lives.

If a parent fails in their duties as a parent, the children deserve what's coming to them.

I'm trying to understand how this could make any sense without you looking like a monster. I'll try to paraphrase it another way:

If a parent neglects their children, the children deserve whatever happens to them.

Hmm...it still sounds sociopathic, morally repugnant, and just downright inhuman. I'll try again:

If a parent doesn't teach their children important lessons, the children deserve everything that happens to them as a result of the parent's failure.

Yeah, that's a horrendous sentiment, no matter how you slice it. Perhaps you could clarify some of the specific kinds of misfortune children deserve if their parents fail to teach their kids properly?

How can we address institutionalized poverty that results from state assistance without invading personal privacy?  Is it possible?

Yeah.  This is... well, I guess the best way to say it is, "coming from an erroneous position."

In a capitalist society, poverty will always exist.  There will never be a 0% unemployment rate, and the way the system is structured will always ensure that there will be inequality. 

Various social systems have been put in place to try to alleviate this misery, and to ensure some kind of dignity that the free market doesn't have time for.  What's interesting is that some people have put the cart before the horse, and instead of seeing state assistance as a corrective to the system's amorality, they see it as it's cause.

Yep, there's pretty much nothing redeemable there.

Yep.

It's probably easier and more comforting than recognizing the failures of a capitalist economy.

Every so often, the neurons and synapses combine.

However, I will admit that economics is not my forte, and the above is most likely highly generalized.

[Faust]

If children are to be born into the ultracapitalist environment at a distinct disadvantage to others then I implore you not to go half way.

These children should be entitled to the american dream and the only way to do so is without any socialist interference such as laws or regulation.

Disadvantaged children should be entitled to rite of conquest. If the universe gets to fuck you at the start then its your right to kill whomever you wish to rise to the top.
