With the emergence of Asia, and continuing growth in South America the world is getting richer http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-27774753 It's an exciting time to be alive, so much opportunity, with the only downside being there's not enough time to take advantage of it all
Lets all rejoice the elite are doing so well while the poor are getting gangbanged up the arse and still have to say thank you. please log in to view this image
Tis easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Give away your worldy goods and trust in the Lord to provide. Repent re ****ing pent
Ye canny, you need somewhere to live, and even if you pay off your mortgage and grow your own vegetables in your garden you'll still get hit with council tax and some **** from the BBC calling around looking for money for ****e tv you don't watch. The world won't leave you alone, there's no walking away from the rat race, the Government demands that you work until you drop, they want 'their cut' of your very existence.
Because it's not true? It's just some bullshit fear that *****s like you have, because you base your entire existence on money and material possessions. Just a byproduct of poor education and greed
Council tax or TV license men calling to your door are not true? If you are not interested in money and possessions why do you keep calling for the Government to redistribute these things?
How does that relate to what you say? I'm against the ****ed up inequality that exists in society at the moment, I'm not calling for everyone to be on the same wage. Of course someone that works hard or studies hard deserves to be rewarded for it, it just shouldn't be that some people earn in a week what most people earn in several years. You're just one of those typical ****s that made himself some cash and now wants to pull the drawbridge up, because having cash is the only thing that makes you special and you don't want anyone else to dilute your 'specialness'.
This is true because the avaricious business people who are fueling the recovery will get too greedy, the economy will overheat and we'll be landed with another economic meltdown and no doubt brainwashed imbeciles like yourself will be flocking to the internet to share your theories on how it's the poor and disadvantaged of the world that are to blame.
I maybe agree with the sentiment, but the problem is I don't know how to fix it. Normal people through their own freewill pay money to Sky and pay money for season tickets to football matches so they can watch their star player earn £200k per week. Your solutions often start with getting a Government to intervene and fix the situation, to restrict people using their freewill in a way you don't like, because it causes inequality or whatever other social ill. I don't think anyone can argue that there is not a tradeoff between freewill and egalitarianism - your politics will depend on where you draw the line on the spectrum, and my line is pretty close to the freewill end (while recognising we need to give up at least a little bit of our economic freedom for the sake of propping up the weakest in society). I remember being absolutely skint with nothing, and I took chances and thought up a plan to get somewhere more comfortable. I never knew that if I actually reached my target of becoming comfortable there would be a mob of Guardian readers standing over my shoulder calling for the Government to tax the **** out of me. Anyway I'm not looking to raise a drawbridge - I like the fact that I've no idea where I will be living in 5 years, or I could be richer next year and broke the year after - I don't want forced equality partly because uncertainty over winning and losing keeps life semi interesting. You notice how when I argue with you I always fight the actual point you make - but when you argue with me it's always personal insults. Go back and do a Google, you'll see it all the time. It says something about your character. Point me to a thread where I ever blamed poor people. I am against big Government because I think it ******s growth and keeps people poor - I might not be right in my theorising, but nevertheless my theory is that people would actually be better off (mentally and financially) in a state that values individual responsibility over 'inalienable rights'.
