    Some should probably point the pious finger right back in their general direction. That's a fact. :)

    It's obvious that some with the extreme hive mind aren't here to learn, but getting back to your point, I couldn't agree more with you.
    Thank you for being here.

    By the way:

    What is debate in simple words?

    Debate or debating is a method of argument. Disputes and conflicts may be settled by debate. It is a larger form of argument than logical argument, because in a debate, the debaters try to influence the feelings of the audience, in order to persuade them on a topic.

    What is the main purpose of debate

    The primary goal of a debate is for students to generate effective critical thinking into primary issues in the given topic.

    None of this is happening here on these discussions.

    Glad I didn't miss this post. Sometimes I jump in without giving everyone the benefit of reading their posts.
    Wow! You nailed this.

    That's what is so wonderful about the first amendment. Though online forums like this one should and do have set rules for civil decorum, the best form of true free speech is when people disagree. We've gotten to the point in our society IMHO, where some are only interested in ending the discussion, instead of coming to see that even though we might strongly disagree, we still defend each other's right to say it. If I only wanted to hear the political point of view of those who only think just like me, I'd hang up posting on political forums. How boring would that be anyway? Sometimes a forum will have a higher slant to the left or right, but in the end it's up to the poster to find their own comfort zone. rather than demand others change for them.

    I like to watch it in RL, especial when the fat one's bump bellies with one another until they run out of stamina, like four bumps at best :)

    Not odd at all. I do value all workers. I’m not sure why you think I wouldn’t.

    Sure. And the money that could have gone to them is going to you who are not doing the work.

    Oh. So you took excess profits away from workers in your business. Or did all the employees retire early with enough money to never work again? LOL


    Maybe they are being ripped off. Maybe because the owners and boards are more interested in keeping you happy by filling your pockets than keeping workers happy by filling their pockets!

    From the guy who said I’m only interested in enriching myself at other’s expense and can’t provide any evidence for that claim.

    I don’t care if you are interested in truth or reality. I’m not here to change your mind. This exchange is to expose hypocrisy of those taking profits from workers and then complaining about the poor circumstances of the worker.

    I have no beef with capitalism. I do find it odd to hear capitalists complain about the consequences of capitalism and then reject the solution to those perceived negative consequences.


    Something interesting to think about. The claim you make is essentially real wages have not increased. So in theory, adjusted for inflation, purchasing power has remained steady or decreased.

    But over the same time period, house size has tripled, the number of televisions per household has doubled, food portions have substantially increased, more meals are eaten outside the home, recreational spending has increased ten-fold, single landline phones have been replaced by most household members having cell phones, laptops, and PC’s, and more clothing is owned than before your reported divergence of compensation and productivity. The amount of goods and services consumed has increased dramatically, dwarfing any effect of consumer debt increases on consumption.

    If real wages have been static or falling but consumption has skyrocketed, why would workers be upset? It seems your whole premise is a house of cards.

    That reminds me of Dostoevsky quotes on tolerance. :)

    It's probably a boring hobby, but it beats counting sheep on the ceiling. ;)

    The Democrats, the media, and the Never Trumps trolled Trump his entire presidency.

    Probably would get a higher count counting Hunter’s and the big guy’s crooked business deals.

    Let’s face it. The party in power is still talking about him even on threads having nothing to do with him.
