you were the first to pull the _ad hominem_ bullshit. so don't blame that on me, i merely responded in kind.

now, regarding the issue at hand, there's really no reason to get in a stupid battle over an issue of technicality. essentially, what you said originally, and how you're explaining it now, implies to me nothing more than pointing out the fact that there are inherent similarities between socialism and capitalism. and sure there are, they're both economic models, after all. but really now, your first post on the issue said "fuck socialist rhetoric." tell me how THAT is the same as

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

>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.

you started out being self-righteous (or else trying to be cute, which didn't work) and you twisted that into a rational argument AFTER i pulled your card. i'm not saying your rational argument doesn't hold water, it certainly does. though essentially your rational argument is so case-neutral and benign as to make it pointless in the context of this thread.

that's like me making a post saying "fuck vegetarians" and then when somebody pulls my card, i say "look, all i'm saying is that human beings are physically capable of digesting meat."

bullshit. that's not all i'd be saying at all. understand?
