Brainbomb, Krellin is a troll that takes an ultraconservative stance because the board is mostly liberal. He doesn't identify with any party because his utopia would be a libertarian government with no regulations whatsoever. I am interested to know if he believes in regulations on social issues such as abortion and gay marriage. That would be incredibly hypocritical.
Krellin, it's hard to take you seriously when you can't use correct grammar while calling everyone else morons. Let's break down your post into paragraphs.
Your rant about Muslims had nothing to do with the conversation. You pretended it was an analogy, but it was really just a chance to strike out at a culture different than your own, an idea that seems to scare the living crap out of you.
Sheep, blah blah blah, engage intellect, blah blah blah. Nothing of any substance whatsoever, just filler.
Here, in the third paragraph we finally find your thesis. Socialism is bad because it prevents people from achieving the same level of success as other systems because people are slaves to the state. You seem to be confusing socialism with communism, and you mention nothing about the actual point of this thread- whether people are happy in such a system or not- but at least you have taken a step towards making a point, though it's not very relevant.
A random word and repeating back my comment. *Sigh*
Here we find some substance for your disagreement. You postulate that all those who advocate socialism are not interested in socialism but discontented with capitalism because they have not worked hard enough to become one of the top earners in this system. What you fail to grasp is that some people aren't interested in having more money than they could ever spend. Some people are much more interested in changing the world for the better and derive their happiness and feelings of success in that way than by what is in their bank account. Some people would be happy to pay higher taxes if it meant the betterment of society as a whole.
All socialist are lazy, selfish, and assholes.
The way you get into the top 1% is by working harder. This is impossible for anyone advocating socialism because as postulated before, all socialists are lazy, selfish assholes.
If this is satire, you're a tremendous satirist. If not, my breath is wasted on you. In the current capitalist system practiced by America, greed and corruption are rampant in both politics and the economic system. I don't think that's a good thing. I think that will lead to the downfall of this country. In our current capitalist system, I am doing fairly well. I am very involved in politics, and I am educating myself beyond the point to which I am already educated. I have the ability to break into the top 1% if I so choose, but I'll more likely use my education to make myself economically comfortable, perhaps within the top 10% and practice as much social work as I can to lift others who weren't given my privilege into a place where their children have greater opportunities than they did. I'll likely be working to help keep the American dream alive because that will be morally satisfying to me.
You keep looking at the 0's in your bank account. Let me know when you're satisfied, because I'd get board really quick looking at numbers all day.
