@athousandyoung saidThey aren't the ones doing the mass 40+ people looting of stores.
I don't see all that on the wretched people who stand outside 7-11 or hang out on Skid Row. Where do you go to observe poor people such that you see those things?

@jj-adams saidI'm having trouble seeing the fancy teefs, the rims and the $200 shoes. Maybe you can clarify for me.

@athousandyoung saidMaybe they are starving on purpose, check out what they do to their food in China, it'll make you gag:
Nah they just quietly starve to death in the millions in China.
Maybe you should move there since you love authority so much.

@kewpie saidSo, they don't respect another person's property. Kewpie, you must have missed my saying this all the time...What have the people you speak of got to do with the property of another person? Can you answer just that one question? If I have a Bentley and you have a 1974 Ford Fiesta, what have you got to do with my Bentley?
If you have nothing, you can ascribe no value to property. Smart folks figured out long ago that if you don't allow people to get enough stuff to live, legally, they'll never acquire respect for other people's property.
Why will you not answer this straight out!?.

@averagejoe1 saidThat's a poor analogy. More like you have a Bentley and you own the 1974 Ford Fiesta too and Kewpie has to pay you to use it and if he doesn't the government will come after him. That's a better analogy.

@athousandyoung saidSorry, I do not understand your analogy. Yes, I would charge Kewpie to use the Fiesta. But what do you mean by the government coming after Kewpie if he defaults. Try another analogy?

@averagejoe1 saidSounds like he was drinking when he wrote that, it makes no sense at all.

@jj-adams saidThey never respond properly, or answer questions. One of these loons mentioned 'obscene profits' in one thread, I simply asked them to tell us what amounts to obscene, how much is obscene, but they disappear. It is a case of their not closing their posts. It should be a sin to not close posts. Their post should have given specifics on what is obscene, since they brought it up. I could just scream. 😲

AJ gave an analogy where everybody had a car but his was nicer than other peoples’ and then he asked why anybody else cared that he had a nicer car. He was using “car” as a simile for overall personal wealth. As an analogy it is deceptive because that’s not how capitalism works.
In the real world capitalists compete with everyone else for necessities. They drive up prices and buy up the supply and then rent these necessities back to the rest of us.
I can see how an alcoholic who begs strangers for beer money like yourself might think alcohol was involved but it really wasn’t.
@averagejoe1 saidCapitalists rely on the government to enforce their private property profits while simultaneously bragging about how independent they are and hypocritically criticizing the poor for relying on the government.

@athousandyoung saidI will agree with Thoousnd's analysis about the car, etc.

But, then he writes a sentence that has no relevance to the car analogy. Can someone explaln that to me.,
