how mufuckas can have a disagreement or misunderstanding and respond with personal attacks and accusations.

If you're the mature man you claim to be, go back to post 25 (way early on in this mess) and tell me that my story hasn't stayed the same from the beginning, that I'm now trying to lie to cover something up.

As you say in post 13, I can dislike how the original post was phrased. I know he's talking capitalism, I know that.

But when you calm down and start thinking clearly, you'll see that a comparison can be drawn between:

the basic concept of economic empowerment through reinvestment in the community by those who have become financially successful

and

a socialist concept of those who are able to make more money having a responsibility to then share that money with those who have less.

The only substantial difference is a profit motive.

And you're telling me you don't see ANY similarities whatsoever.

Fine. You don't have to agree with me, you don't have to understand me. You don't have to feel threatened either.

But if you actually want to do some community building, you're gonna have to be a little more mature.
