ill admit, when we were in monte carlo, we couldnt get a slip once for a whole day, and ,had to go to shore on the zodiac.
it was sorta embarrasing, because peeps do have yachts with helipads.
adding insult to injury, i was kicked out of one of the casinos within an hour for card counting, having only made 16k.
talk about boring vacation.
this kind of thing is a real issue.

my condolences your so angry elastic.
id suggest, change your own life paradigm,
order your sad angry life, then tell me about mine.
I don't need to order my life, YOU'RE the one who claims you would die without tuna. Your kind of ignorance is what gets people killed. YOU are the reason people are starving. There is enough wealth in this world to end poverty... but that's not your responsibility. Not as human being. Not as a compassionate soul. When you get murdered in your bed in the revolution it will be justice. Your crime is letting everyone else die so you can live your exquisite lifestyle at everyone else' expense.
I'm far past worrying about my money now that I'm done working like a slave as an apprentice. For the record, our restaurant only uses sustainable fish from farms. We never serve bluefin, though you're right, when I was working as a slave I had to butcher my fair share. I didn't think anything of it because I was young. Then I wised up. Mastery has brought me comfort, if at the expense of my health. But your right, I am angry.
I'm angry that poverty still exists in an age when the means to end it sit right in front of us and the only thing stopping it is the inaction of those with wealth. You should get used to this kind of anger, because it's only going to become more and more common if things stay the same much longer. Your time is running out Anne.

Much of the last thousand years of human history has been centered around the fight against the accumulation of wealth and power in the hands of the few, and for progress towards prosperity for the many.
What they really need is a yacht that can fly!
what we need is to lay less claim to material possessions and just live for people. unfortunately being divided makes people apathetic and spoiled and uncaring. possessions remedy that.
i am not of school of thought, that "everyone should strive to capitalize on investments and their abilities to make money, so they can amass wealth for themselves and their family"
i am of the school of though that "everyone should strive to make the world a better place"
sometimes it involves money... sometimes what we've gained is helpful in making positive changes in the world. i don't judge people for making or having money... i do whoever think people who think they are right all the time, because they're doing what THEY WANT, are being ridiculous. but we all do it, though, don't we. it's rare to see someone striving for helpfulness without being condemning, preachy, insulting or callous.

Haha yes, this is the point I'm trying to make.
Holy shit, I know you guys are more intelligent than this... How many ways do I have to explain this???
Okay, lets pretend houses are clothing. You can go to a department store and spend $30 on an outfit or an outfit with the same fucking logo at retail price. In the United States, you can choose to live in a highly populated city for 10x the cost of an even nicer house in certain areas.Quote:

I agree, but to say 300k for a 3 bedroom living space, or a condo (even in a metropolitan area) isn't expensive is ridiculous
he's saying that SAYING IT ISN'T EXPENSIVE. get the argument right, so it can be fucking resolved. GOD.
My god this is stupid. There's no resolving an argument when the first premise is flawed. Making the claim that a 300k house is expensive -to someone living around the poverty line- is no big jump of reasoning. But saying that "what most consider middle class should be considered rich" is ignorant.
The whole point here is that No, to a real wealthy person, 300k isn't shit. And one of the main reasons the whole wealth disparity issue is so misunderstood is because of fools like you muddying it up like this. People mortgage their 300k house to buy a range rover and then think they're rich, so they vote for the interests of billionaires. There is wealth out there that you can't even comprehend, you're too busy getting mad at your neighbor for buying a 2br house. A yacht you can land a helicopter on is unnecessary.
This has nothing to do with what I was arguing ...

Hahaha what?? This makes no sense, I say it is expensive because I can't easily afford it and yeah, I was also trying to make a point. Where did I demonstrate I had 300k to blow?

idgaf what they think. If they wanted to make a point sure, but it was completely unrelated to the point I was making.
Fuck all of this. I feel like I'm teaching little kids how to stack leggos, I didn't sign up for a day care, and I have work anyway in 30min.

people belong to different schools of thought... people in Communism wanted what the US had, because they were sick of playing second fiddle. Capitalism is simply more favorable to people a different school of thought, then that of Communists; and at some point Communism couldn't support itself on the world stage, sharing it with Capitalism. it's really only that simple. it had nothing to with what i'm sure you think is "evil communism". it only had to do with a trend.
