Good point. At least he does not throw a veil over his true self whenever engaged with the media. :shrug:



Yeah, a veil or a mask or makeup...wait a minute.

What part of what he said do all of you hippies find so offensive?

All he said was that...

1) He doesn't hate gay people.
2) He doesn't believe that welfare works now, but should instead create jobs.
3) He has Conservative views on foreign policy that are shared by 50& of the United States population.

I mean, goddamn.

I can find 3 posts in this thread that suggest even that they find what he said even moderately offensive, and that includes OP.

because he's obnoxious and thinks he is better than people that have less money than him and that their opinions are worthless.

he has sold his soul for money. then he talks about work like he has ever done it.

he wants to play world police and doesn't do any of his own thinking about the war.

his ego is through the roof. plus he's an idiot.

Quote:
"Hell, no. I'm too rich to care. People give me a hard time for being a ruthless businessman but these are the kinds of people who cut my grass and take out my trash. I, meanwhile, am deliriously happy."


That's the quote that gets under my skin the most. He's another wealthy individual who wants to take advantage of his financial position to keep the working man working for him. He admits he's a ruthless businessman in order that he can keep himself on top.

And there's nothing terribly wrong with that I don't suppose as it simply stems from the primal, instinctual drive of self preservation so I'm not exactly angry at him but at the system of human evolution and money and power in general I suppose.

...and through the course of typing this out I have forgotten my point... I'll smoke another bowl while I try to remember it, hehe.

It sounds like someone thinks their view of how world works is the only one that could even conceivably be true.

Whose ego is huge?

Arrogance isn't a crime punishable by death.  You say he doesn't work, but his ass is on the line.  RISK.  Donald trump was walking into one of his buildings and walked passed a homeless man and said, "He is $800,000,000.00 richer than I am."  Because risk.  Risk makes you ruthless, because it can be gone tomorrow.


I'm not defending the guy as much as I'm promoting the concept of risk and the mindset of businessmen.  :shrug: 

I actually like that he's straight up and doesn't care to sugarcoat himself for the approval of others.  It's admirable.

QFT

If half of the people bitching was worth as much as Mr Simmons is.......they would have the same kind of attitude.
The man DID work for his money and is entitled to his opinion just like every other American.

Sounds like the kind of person i wouldn't get along with. And if conservative means staying in iraq for a terrorist hunt, then i suppose traditional conservatism has really lost its ways. I can blame new media for that. Anyway, I think his view on that is a little skewed.

He has a right to say whatever he wants, but i'd likely take a baseball bat to his teeth if given a reason. Good thing i will never meet him.

He highlights the main differences between conservatives and liberals. Conservatives vote for themselves, liberals vote for society.

I think that most people who aren't rich get offended when rich people talk about how awesome it is being rich.  The non-rich people make statements all the time like, eh I don't care about being rich.  Come the fuck on, youd all fucking love to be rich.  Ive come to terms with money a while ago, meaning I know Id like to be wealthy.  I plan on making a few attempts at it before settling into some normal job. 

However I could never be him, I could never sell my name like its a box of rice-a-roni,Id find it to absurd and ridiculous. Id never be able to walk around in public knowing how much Id sold my name to corporatism. But he doesn't seem to care, so eh whatever.  Im basically going to make a few attempts at technology startups, hopefully something pans out, if not then what can you do :shrug:

I'm not a teeth smashing madman, i just defend myself in painfully creative ways.

TheCow: Theres a difference between "i don't care about being rich" and "i'm happy with not being rich".

The way i see it, if i become rich thats cool, but if i don't i wont lose sleep over it. And i sure as hell would not become a gene simmons if i was. I wouldn't be transformed into an elitist asshole with a golden life size model of myself up my ass, i would have the same outlook on life, with a humble lifestyle, and lets be honest, a lot more drugs. I would use money to pursue my personal interests, and look after my friends. It would be more of a safety net than a exploitable device.

"Yes, I've been with Shannon for 25 years but I refuse to get married because I think it's a sham. For one thing, men are poorly designed for monogamy. We tend to be promiscuous. It's biological. Women manufacture one or two eggs a month, during which time the male of the species manufactures 10 billion sperm!

"This tells you that the Bible is correct and a man was designed to 'spread thy seed.' So if I sleep with a lot of women, just think of me as doing the Lord's work."

I never thought about it like that before.
