This thread has been kind of surreal. My politics are also left-wing, though not Marxist, so vlad and I agree often, but I don't really think people attack him for being poor so much as he is constantly attacking people for being rich, without distinguishing between those who earn their money legitimately and those who don't.
"The tone makes the melody" or so they say in Germany.. this isn't about reft or light, capitalism vs. communism (as I point out time and again an outdated intellectual dichotomy with little bearing on real-world affairs then and now), this is about a little mock-worthy hypocrisy turning into basely meanly slurs degenerating in punch and quality over time IMHO.. I mean all this lawyer sh#it? Give me a break. I know it's a running joke but it was a lame one from the outset..

I don't really even read books any more, I don't have the attention span for it. I read things online, constantly clicking and changing from one topic to another. The only books I can get through are ones with short 5-10 page chapters.
I even have trouble watching an entire movie at home without pausing it in the middle to go online.

Around what time would you guess has your attention span deteriorated this badly? Obviously the web has been online for some 23 years now but I'm guessing this is a fairly recent behavioural change? Would you correlate it with increased social media usage timing-wise or the advent of fully-capable mobile devices or.....?

We know you're trying to top Chuck Wow as most degenerate. It feels forced, to be honest.

I'm not getting into that here as it has nothing to do with my post. Maybe start a new thread and I'll chip in. My point is that he seems to hate wealthy people because they're wealthy, not because of how they obtained their wealth. The distinction is important. To make no distinction and label all wealthy people evil is misguided at best.SCC wrote:Define legitimately please. CheersMekongMouse wrote:This thread has been kind of surreal.

Honestly don't think he needs to try, he has his own line of degenerate behavior and I have mine, they overlap at certain points but at his age it is harder and harder for him to find new things to shock and do.Joon wrote:We know you're trying to top Chuck Wow as most degenerate.

I think even Starving Pelican would acknowledge that I have frequently made the distinction.
I think I could find maybe more than 20 instances where I have stated quite clearly that I differentiate between the toilet types and the honest ones.
If you're going to be a clown, at least be an informed clown.
Like GWB, for instance.
