the world will NOT be a better place. your parents got there by being irresponsible. no excuse can convince me otherwise. if they got strongarmed out of a job or retirement benefits, it is their own damn fault for not having a contingency plan and recognizing the way the world is. so, kindly fuck off and spread your socialist, naive, and utterly unsound comments somewhere else. bitch.

I work hard for my toys and I suggest the same for everyone else...People make choice that get them where they are, for everything else we have government safety nets.

Socialism refers to a broad array of ideologies and political movements with the goal of a socio-economic system in which property and the distribution of wealth are subject to control by the community. ...

I already clean, upgrade, and build computer systems of friends and family for free. In the last two years I have provided four newly built computers in addition to the repairs, memory upgrades, and other component upgrades to distant family and friends of friends.

However, to be told to freely give to others what is mine is too much. My money will never go to a charity and I will not accept someone telling me or even suggesting what to do with it. Charities and non-profit groups exist only to make their controllers rich. Any good done is merely a by-product of making someone rich.

Go away.

Have you ever seen that nice old lady in the supermarket, or that older gentleman walking down the street? Those are my parents, and they're being evicted. Maybe you've seen my brothers, who are everyday young people just like you. They're sending hundreds of dollars out of their paychecks every month to support my parents.

OP, why are you posting your this shallow and nearly useless, morally superior rant on ATOT when your father is, apparently at this very moment, disoriented and wandering the streets.

And WHY are you allowing your brothers to support your parents with hundreds of dollars each month without apparently pitching in yourself?

Shouldn't you be ashamed of yourself? :shocked:

possibly, i do feel quite hormonal. maybe it is all the shit that has been spreading recently. I'm tired of all these fucking hippies whining about the earth and caring more about people. If they want shit done, stop bitching about it and do it. If you want to give money to people, make a bunch and give it away. If you want to take down 'evil' corps like walmart, build one better and less 'evil'

You've got the right definition, now try reading the OP again and see if that definition fits. Me thinks you'll find that it doesn't...

He may be a wacko, but where was he sanctioning the distribution of wealth being subject to control by the community? I must have missed that.

He may be a wacko, but he's not a socialist

Ignorance is keeping a closed mind and not seeing the truth. However, much money is given away by people who do not know any better so you fit in with many others who also do not see the truth.

The goal of any medical disease charity is not to cure that disease. If the disease was cured, no one would continue supporting that charity. Think about it.

Nice Princess Bride reference. :thumbsup:

Yeah, the OP is not a socialist. He's not asking the government to take people's money, he's asking people to consider helping people in need.

FWIW, I remember seeing a graph in Time or Newsweek that showed charitable giving as a percentage of net worth broken down by income. It was like an inverse bell curve. The rich give the most by far, it's the middle class and upper middle class who give the least (percentage-wise).
