I am rich now, friends.

[Reforged]

Hes even got a better beard than me... I just... *sigh*

[Mister Agenda]

Great news, Mehm, I hope it does you and your family a lot of good!

Lesson number 1. If you want to stay rich, don't go around telling all your friends that "I am rich now"

.

[Handprint]

so Mehm...now that you're rich. Fund the AF server into perpetuity, yes?

How many people lost their jobs because of you? How many children are going to be hungry now? All money comes from somewhere so you better remember to do something good with atleast 25% of it.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.. Not trying to make you feel bad.

In Newtonian Mechanics, yes.

I have yet to see any real application of physics to economics (other than the Black-Scholes equation) that is justified.

And Black-Scholes only is justified under a hyper-specific corner case.

You see it everyday, you just refuse to beleive it. Sorry but for you to have money, somebody must not. For you to have allot of money, well thats when it starts to get comical.

I live in Lancaster California and my little town is doing ok on the outside. But a few miles away there is a large population of homless families growing and im talking about entire families. I don't have very much money, infact I don't even own a computer or a phone. But I still go out and give these people food because their children should not be growing up in a tent like its fu**ing normal.

There is a underclass here in america, shanty towns are illegal but if you do a little research. America is the only country that does not have shanty towns and thats because we refuse to let the homeless (people) have homes.

By the way, they are still people.

I can't fucking stand money, yet for some damn reason can't do without it.

Reality sucks.

That's not physics.

You're speaking of a form of Supply and Demand that is zero-sum based.

Then lobby for higher taxes, better welfare, better welfare verification. Lobby for education and outreach to disaffected communities.

Oh wait, this is America, right?

Then expect to be called a Communist, etc for trying to apply the Sweden/Finland/Norway safety nets.

Not according to the Just World View, which I would argue that is a prevailing world view of conservatives in America and justified through Mather's work "The American Puritan" and Alexis De Tocqueville's "Democracy in America".

As long as people believe in this shit, they will always fall into the fallacy that the poor, etc are to blame for being poor.

The poor may be wretched and that may be solely their own, but their economic plight, like in the Scandinavian countries, can be assuaged to basic human rights levels. But only when the peers of the poor choose to act for someone other than themselves.

Who was it that said a quote cannot be applied to any other subject than the one it was first intended to?

Go outside and punch somebody in the face. You will get an equal (punch) and opposite (person) reaction. Words are not mathmatical truths they are simply the means in which we use to share information to eachother. However I want you to perceive that info* is up to me.
