Yeah, it's like running against a wall head first...
your the one that dosenn't seem to no what your talking about..
I started this argument by saying that just because some rich person keeps his cash for himself, that dosen't make him a bad person.. YOUR the one saying that "if you don't help as much as you can" then your bad person..
Not quite. Well, knowing your president I should expect you to oversimplify. But I wasn't talkign about the discussion as a whole but your jumping away from specific point. Like: you say A, I say A is wrong because of C, you say N is right because of T. See the
break? You're doing it all the time. You're like a man lost in the desert who doesn't walk in one direction but constantly changes direction at random, which will lead him nowhere, which is where you've lead the discussion.
All you have to do to shut me up is say that "Just because a person dosen't give everything that they can, that dosen't make them "bad"..
Just because a person dosen't give everything that they can, that dosen't make them "bad" :tup:
Been my stand all along, but as I said, you can just differ between capitalist and non-capitalist, which seems to equal communist in your dictionary.
and that is their progrative.. if you don't agree.. go earn a cool mil on YOUR good looks/talent/genius whatever.. and give it away..
Blah and besides the point. Easy arguments for easy people.
I know dumb people with no talent earning millions, while people doing
important stuff like finding a medicine against Aids lacking money...
I draw the line at infringement on other peoples rights..you know like living.. not being a perfect person..
My, my, now isn't
that a clever argument? Now everyone can see clearly I am wrong... you're allowing ppl to be imperfect... which in this context must mean I don't... so it's
obvious I am wrong, and the best thing is: It's completly irrelevant what I actually believe, 'cos it has to contradict you (why else should you mention it) and therefore it must be as said above. Unless you just didn't grasp my opinion... but that's
unthinkable ...oh, well, it isn't.
But it still looks very convincing to those weak in mind. Which means you won the argument.
but seriously.. I draw the line at infringement on other peoples rights.. as it applies to letting people do what they want until it starts to cause harm to others..
Which proves you aren't a pure capitalist, who believes more in a kind of "economic darwinism" and sometimes someone's gain is someone else's loss, and that's just how life is.
But here we have the freedom to be whatever we want to be..do what we want..
Oh, yeah. Unless it's against the law or you're maybe just sued for something you didn't even know was wrong a moment ago... or maybe it just wan't wrong 'cos noone said so... 'till now. And now pay 10 000 000 $ you don't have for doing what you wanted and considered your just right.
maybe in your country that's charity.. here that's your tax dollars at work..
Blah. It's the same, you just don't see the root of the bush after ages of growth, and don't care to bend the leaves
guess what.. here in the U.S.A.... they do...
hell there is this REALLY rich kid over here called Richie.. and he even has homeless people on his payroll!! and he brings all of his friends around (that of course are friends with him cause of his $$$) so they can watch him give money to the homless
Guess what... I know... I said so in a post previous to the post in which you cared to reply to that point.
Hehe... at least he's found a convincing reason to help a few ppl...
maybe because that there is no real Equivalent for German Morals
That might be a good argument -
if that was what we were talking about... and not language... but at least you managed to evade the original argument, so the point goes to you.
*sigh..
I wasn't talking about morals.. as in group morals I was talking ethics.. you know ethcis.. ohh wait...
ETHICS: The study of the "general" nature of morals and specific moral choices..
get it?
But I was talking about moralty... and as you pointed out, that's not the same as morals... get it?
But hey, I am positively surprised you even know that word... However, according to German language and my English dictionairy, ethics are an individuals beliefs etc. etc. and not just the study of the same, although the same term is apllied sometimes... like maths: the term for the study of maths is maths...
Of course, there may be a few linguistic snares, but if you intend to attack my language in a discussion on principles... well, it's low but it may just serve your end perfectly: evading the real argument.
