a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

actual most butthurt person ive ever met about being wrong.

can you even imply a reason this detail matters

once you're done doing that, go over the numbers we went over with together.

no, I literally stated that potential to be nefarious with money is dynamically related to the amount, and stated nothing about individuals, you did.

what about the whole "it only effects a few" and "it literally doesn't effect you"
was it someone else posting that garbage?
you stated the actions of those people would be bad

so why do you discriminate against those few?
it is bigotry
it is disgusting

a reply to: idiotseverywhere

I told you that you would reply based on your inability to grasp percentages.

'0%' means 'nothing' and 75% of billionaires did not inherit their wealth as your source showed, it was no more than 21%.

Let's play nice here....

Go after the ball not the player.


Is There Civilization Without Civility

You are responsible for your own posts.....those who ignore that responsibility will face mod actions.


and, as always:

Do NOT reply to this post!!

The way it is making you more free, is by disallowing anyone else to be SO FREE that they ruin your ability to have freedom.

What billionaire in life has ruined your ability or really anyone's ability to have freedom?

I mean other than technically correct, as in


does this detail support an argument, or you just want to argue about the meaningless detail?

a reply to: opethPA

just buy having a billion, they have effected your spending power.

It's not meaningless. If you cant calculate simple percentages how are you going to come up with a cogent tax plan for the people who are crushing your soul?

Again, please explain to me how capping their earnings helps the world. You haven't done that and I have asked repeatedly.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

The concept is a cap, the amount to be the cap or how rich anyone currently is, is indeed meaningless, if you cannot grasp the main concept of the conversation.

Does the current amount of billionaires born matter in your opinion of a wealth cap is the only question. What the percentage is on it's own, or isn't, is indeed meaningless.

It matters when you get the facts wrong, I like accuracy, it's how I became an evil 1%'er.


That and having no morals.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

I know you like accuracy, trust me, you've basically posted 20 times in this thread without an opinion, only on the basis of accuracy.

OP,

I thought there was "0 percent chance" of you responding to Augustus about 5 replies ago?

Again, proving that you don't know what "percent" means.

And? If you don't want to be corrected don't post erroneous data.

Great, that still doesn't answer my question of how has a billionaire impacted yours, mine or the freedom of anyone else?

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

And nothing that 20 posts is a moderate amount of disruption, leading me to believe you care quite a bit more about it than accuracy, but not enough to have a serious conversation like an adult.

In real life this conversation plays out like this:
"You said 75%? its 21%?"
"Yeah, I mean the people born with the resources to become a billionaire. Not just billionaires."
"Oh okay, I see"

But because this is an online forum, you have chosen to take the second route where you endlessly pretend you do not understand this, in favor of an argument I'm not even having with you over the percentages, but rather the implications of being born that rich.

You can either choose to have this conversation, or you can choose not to, and you have repeatedly choose not to, and that is your right.

Yeah, except you didn't say that. Nice try, buckaroo.

a reply to: opethPA

So is someone allowed to be as free as they want in your definition if it impedes on the freedom of others?

Because the natural end to this is that an individual worth 100 trillion can take away most if not all of your spending power.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Yeah, I didn't literally say that.

It's not a try, it's a fact.

What you didn't read between the lines is not my fault. It's obvious to everyone else that read it and continued the conversation without you. I attempted to hold your hand, but it was too much for you.
