molson_golden2002 Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Nice. But its still a silly point. Because I think the government should help people I have to want to live with those people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya know, one reason to get a good job with a good salary is to be able to live away from the decay class of people. I enjoy my living space.

And, apparently, just so it's people you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going appologize for that But if we simply raise taxes, won't government cure the "decay class of people"? (Whatever the heck that is.) Or maybe the solution is to follow HA's apparent advice and prevent all non-European immigration to this country? (Or is it just Latinos that keep the country from looking like it did when he was a child? I couldn't quite figure out where he was going with that one.) (Sorry for digressing.) That way, low skilled high paying jobs could go to native Americans, and we'd eliminate the "decay class of people". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose an argument can be made that welfare is a partial solution. What would they do if there was no welfare? Crime? Isn't it cheaper to have welfare than locking people up? Would we see the old political machines rise again? Yes, there can be much more corruption in society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we should lower taxes, thereby encouraging smarter people to stay home and have more kids, thus breeding the "decay class" out of the gene pool, because success is heritable...whatever that !@#$ing means.

But should we allow a smarter immigrant (if there can be such a thing ) people into the country? And if we do, should they be allowed to stay home and have kids, or should they be required to work for the companies that are being subsidized by the government? Or is breeding now subsidized work? Or should that decision be based upon whether they came into the country legally? (Illegals must work, legals can work as breeders. But if breeding is work how do we distinguish between the two, by their driving habits perhaps?) So many questions. And so little time before the Clarkson game.

No, because they're not smart by definition, because they don't make as much money as citizens. Of course, smart people in general should not be allowed to stay home and have kids, because then they're not as successful in the workplace (seeing as they're not even IN the workplace), and hence not smart either. So they should stay in the labor pool, thereby verifying their intelligence...so that their breeding can be subsidized, even though they can't breed, because then they can't work, which makes them dumb, particularly if their East Germans or can't roll a 3.5 on a die. Which is fine, as long as they don't live in molson_goldfish's neighborhood, because he only wants to help people he doesn't have to personally deal with. Got it now?

I never got that one, they want to bomb and kill them, and then stay there to form a democracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
