Well, that is disgusting and frightening if you are saying what I think you are saying.

           It is frighting but he is right everyone is replaceable to a certain degree. Think of it this way, you have 10 people in a bank and the vault is open. Four Armed gunman ambush the place and start shooting. Here is our cast of the 10 people in the bank before the armed gunman storm the place. A banker interviewing for a job, a medical doctor, a scientist, a upcoming author, a middle aged manger of a Burger King, a brilliant inventor, a old woman, the bank staff and you . The old woman has been at the counter for a while arguing about something at the only available window open. Everyone starts to strike up a conversation about what they do for a living while there waiting for the old woman to hurry up. The lone security guard has just opened the vault to check on something, you are positioned by closest to the safest place in the bank. The gunman enter and shoot the a office manager in the head that was passing by to show they mean business. You see a chance to protect yourself and drag two others with you into the vault and have to leave the others to a unknown fate. Who is more valuable out of the cast of characters? I personally would save the doctor and the inventor. Who would you save?

Since we are in this together, what are you doing to carry your weight and do your part?

Dont try to protect your selfishness and greed on me. YES  we are in this together but no, we don't have to value or want the same things. GROW UP.

I do do my part. OH you stupidly think life is all about making money? So if someone isn't making money then what? They are trash? Less than human? Worthless? So I don't chase after money like you, then what? I am garbage to be thrown out?

Yes we are in this together which means you DONT have special rights over me because of your pay or title. Don't project yourself on me. I am not a clone of you nor does the law require me to be a clone of you.

           Interesting response, that you try to save a third cast member. I'm curious why you would risk your own life or the lives of the others?

            The money is not the problem, it's what you contribute to the group. Money does mean shit in the long run, you can have all the money in the world and be useless. Has far as special rights is concerned no one has those either, has a species when shit does go down it's survival of the fittest.

And, do your really think, this applies to todays capitalism?

I always make a distinction between a free market and capitalism. The same way as I make a distinction between social democracy and socialism - or communism in it's worst case. Note the ism in all these words. In most cases it points to a system running unchecked. And that's never a good thing, since any given system isn't in the business of correcting itself.

Not only no but HELL NO!

I can't imagine not trying to save someone else. I would gladly risk my life to help other people in a dangerous situation.

I hope others would do the same if my family members were in danger.
