Good grief...

For those of us discussing charity earlier: O'reilly encouraged his viewers on Thursday to not be so charitable. He wants this because, of course, the poor are broke because of their own fault(and nothing else) and we cannot encourage them through charity. To O'reilly, this is all he wants...

Yet you have the right to deprive your child of what she wants. I support that in limited/REASONABLE fashion. I would have a reason, not just "this is my house dagnabbit!" Where did the right to tell your child she has to go to bed come from? You ask that question of others, but you don't...

FAIL! I do not think you even want to touch the couple of examples I laid out. When people realize the explanation sounds even more ridiculous than their assertion, they tend to dodge having to give it, for the sake of pride. "The right of an individual to his possessions." This is where...

Merry Christmas to you too!

QFT

XD I didn't mean to be gross! XD Good to see you again Douger. :)

He has been told more than a dozen times. Can't question himself. Feels backing off from his previous points means we think he is stupid. I'd celebrate with him on that. Admitting you're wrong is the first step towards being more correct. If anyone can find an argument where he blames...

I'm serious Received! If his wages were suddenly chosen by the market to be 1.25/hour, he would still rail against only the taxes, per his philosophy. He can't complain about the scenario after his heartless rants on here. AT ALL! Some folks are so busy forming assertions, but never defining...

No offense, but you only seemed to reword what I was saying. We are in total agreement. His philosophy is without heart to begin with. No doubt property comes before people and is simple-minded jazz. If you go back and read the last half of my post, you'll clearly see that was my point...

Slave to the rich. Everyone please read LordBT's post before this example: OK, so LordBT is a resident of an island with 8 other individuals. He OWNS the middle of the island with great fields for growing corn, while the others live on the beach. There is no fish in the sea, the only...

LOL! Everyone that agrees already with this guy, pat him on the back please! It's all he wants!!! He is not looking to explain anything to anyone, he just wants to be part of the crowd that tells him how correct he is day after day. I'm begging for him to explain himself in...

OH, who told this guy he is steeped in philosophy?! Philosophy today is the study of language anymore. I would expect someone knee-deep in it would have a handle on language. You fail miserably to provide an explanation as to why "fairness produces have-nots." I added the hyphen...

I have dealt with local charities that do as much, and they are genuine. I really enjoy shaking hands with the person running it. Not to know them, but to know that anyone can shake that hand. It is scary to think that Charities are graded on what percentage they dole out past expenses, but...

Bet you couldn't get a good source on this to save your life. Also, consider a charity is only required by law to give 10% of what it takes in the name of Charity. So, dollars spent on charity do not reflect accurately the dollars spent on poverty. "Charity" is a huge profit-taking business...

I have heard my father say things like "I'm too old to change" as if I'm suppose to just know it and accept it. Old folks do not like to change. Talk about Elitism, they must feel they have been around long enough to know everything and so cannot be argued with. There is a post above that...

Why allow the government to do what Corporations are already doing?

:clap::clap::clap: HE CAN COUNT! I'll school you in math if you like. Right here and now.

Can anyone possibly help this guy make sense out of himself? WHO ON EARTH HAS CALLED FOR THE CONFISCATION OF PROPERTY? Take your Chicken Little "the sky is falling" rhetoric somewhere where it will work.

You'll have to lie to do it. It's not whether you're "above it or not." It is about you having to lie because it is a lie to begin with. "One will always produce and have more than the other, and the other will always seek to prevent that." I can agree to "one will always produce and have...
