[Zorkorist]

Rich Chinese are moochers?

The common denominator is Government.

We as voters do get the entire package even if we don't agree with some of them.

Ask yourself this, would there have been an Iraq war if someone other than a few warmongers were elected honestly?

Yes we do get the entire package but it's not like we get a lot of choice. We get 2 assholes that we can reasonably vote for, a 3rd that we can use as basically a no confidence vote and what I personally do most national elections is write in Beelzebub. If I'm going to vote for evil then I vote for the best damn evil that I can.

You're being willfully disingenuous. A simple Google search shows Selleck is frequently mentioned as either Republican or conservative. For example:
A site with Selleck quotes included a quote of him saying he is conservative. While "conservative" and "Republican" aren't 100% synonymous, they are very closely aligned in spirit.

That said, this thread fails. One cannot tar all "Rich Republicans" based on the actions of one individual, especially for something fairly petty like this. The title is way over the top. Besides, if one wants to show "Rich Republicans ... are MOOCHERS!!!!!!," there are far better examples than this.

Speaking of being disingenuous, the thread title specifically calls him out as Republican, not conservative. If the OP had gone with "conservative" I wouldn't have had any issue with this thread. Unfortunately the OP seems to have felt the need to sensationalize things on what is ultimately a trivial issue.

Title fixed and nothing edited, only struck out.

Apparently I can't strike things out in the title but I can in the original post.

Yes, dear, I explicitly addressed that. Read all the words.

That I agree with. You should have led with that instead of trying to divert on a technicality.

 

[Zorkorist]

You understand that Government takes from everyone, and gives to moochers?

Your problem is with Government.

Congrats.

Now fix your verb, and it is singular, not plural.

 

[TastesLikeChicken]

I read ALL of your words honey, hence my response.

C'mon BF. Who do you think you're responding to here? You've never been one to shy away from technicalities, when it suits you.

No, if Selleck's house was on fire, I would have no issue with him using water to put it out. That is where government comes in.. to help people and that's what fire hydrants are for, not for watering lawns and avocado farms.

 

[Indus]

Congrats.

You know you could have avoided all that by saying Conservative is a better choice than Republican in your first post and I would have agreed with you right away, but anyways..

 

[Zorkorist]

Government today is omnipresent.

There is no more capatalism.

It's only Government.

I'll say it again, your problem is with Government.

Too much of Capitalism is bad.
Too much of Government is also bad.

We need a delicate balance, not a hatchet job.

Without Government Constitutional Amendments or SCOTUS.. many of us would not be happy or equal. We need Government more than we need capitalism.

I do know who I'm responding to, and I'm not going to waste more electrons on your asinine duhversions. My words are nicely recorded in black and white, for all to see. You can pretend whatever you wish, but you're only fooling yourself.

Toodles.

We are far past that point. It is all Government today.

Does Australia sound like a better option than fixing government? :wub:

Wish you had told me that earlier on. :wub:

As far as I know, Government in Australia is even more oppressive.

It's very possible that could have happened. But maybe it was better as an example of how not to smear a political group on either side without thinking a bit first and doing a bit of homework? imo, such thought exercises make this forum a little less messy and partisan. Maybe in the future the hacks in here won't rush headlong quite so quickly into divisiveness? Because that is really what makes politics so shitty. In fact, people should be more concerned about what shady things their own side is doing and address those instead of pointing fingers.

That's one big reason I'm an Independent. Both sides are so frequently like monkeys slinging shit at each other. Go ahead and be a monkey. I'll pass.

Anyway, don't blame Capitalism, blame Government.

There is no more Capitalism.

Sounds like Tom is a good candidate for the Asshole of the Week award.

Shit, WhipperSnapper,

It's a tall order to be a bigger asshole than you.

I had an avocado for dinner and almonds for breakfast. Thank you California!

 

[Fanatical Meat]

I think OP owes Magnum an apology. Seems like it was paid for and it was a guy or contractor that works for him getting the water.

Seems like Tom paid the 22k to investigate this too. God knows why this cost 22k to investigate.
