It comes with thinking... you may wish to try it someday instead of expecting everyone else to fulfill your entitlement complex.

If only you understood what that meant.

... if your airbed was going down, would you change/fix it or leave it until it was flat and wait for someone to appear out of the ether and fix it for you?

Wrong. You haven't gotten my point at all. Oh and BTW, my "whining" is seen as inspiration by some, so the "whining" label you attach to it is your problem, not mine. If you can wrap your head around that, which you seemed to alluded to "Yep, you're free to be as equal as you want, enitrely up to the individual.", then you may start to understand what the "whining" is about. I realise that that would have you engaging your brain and thinking, so I'm not holding out any hope that you'll ever grasp the concept. To that end I shall carry on whining and you shall carry on watching your airbed go flat.

175 whining words on whining.
Also the definitive religious fallback when discussing dogma - "you're not smart enough to grasp my (wacko) concept".

You told us what you saw. All I did was post what you read and pointed out that you saw the complete opposite.

Ultimately wrong. But hardly surprising, it's the only consistent feature of your posts.

Not at all, you read 2 lines of a highly condensed but applicable post (given your original link) and then made the rest of the shit up yourself. S'ok, I understand that that's what you do and the only way you can be, so am more than comfortable with it.

Don’t be silly, fuckwits wanting equal shares to the highly productive is always going to be an issue.

Just not a very important one.

I never said equal shares. Stop making shit up.

Just as you don’t see any need to produce anything in exchange for your lifestyle.

Or anything else, really.

Of course I do, just not using the terms you use. Again, stop making shit up as you have clearly demonstrated you are incapable of understanding anything outwith that which you already know.

Shut the full cup, bro.

Horseshit.

As usual, you dissembled. You have no idea of the answer so you avoided the question.

Like I said, stop projecting... if you don't get the answer you want, then try to work out why I gave you the answer that I did. It's called being open minded and using your brain. Again though, no hope of that.

I decided not to write an essay in response to an idiot... but thanks for trying to consider what I meant.

A good Marxist idea that - "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs"

Maybe, "Do what thou wilt"

Not answering the question is one thing, but saying you did just makes you look stupid.
You like to wank on about concepts like child poverty or income equality, but when asked to define terms, you show your ignorance.

[mashman]

Denial and wankery

Says it all really.

bwaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaa... well, neither of you are... and given that plenty of others do understand the concept, that would highlight that neither of you are smart enough.

Plenty of others?!!
How many other inmates are in your ward?

I think by reading just a few of his recent posts, he has gotten stupider in the brief time I've been out of this thread; just do what the 99% do to his ilk and put em on ignore :

My kids get it. As do other people's kids. As do many of their parents etc... so yeah, plenty of others, even those who would make it into the top 5% of salary earners in NZ.
We're the wardens son... we're here to make sure you don't fuck things up too badly.

A Warden?
At best, you are an interesting oddity.
At worst a strident wacko.
You are a classic character from literature, the insane inmate who thinks he runs the asylum. “El Supremo” from C S Forester comes to mind.

You could be right - taunting the obviously mentally ill is not a good look...

"Not having breakfast" is not the same as being hungry.
My kids sometimes couldn't be bothered with breakfast as it meant an extra 10 minutes in bed, so they would be featured in this statistic.
I am not saying we don't have a problem with poverty in this country, but I do think that it is exaggerated for political purposes...

A well put post!
Statisticians must have a bizarre theoretical equation that inputs garbage and outputs bullshit that smells sweet to a politician.


I also agree with the kids simply not crawling out of their fart-sacks in time to have a proper breakfast. At school they would be adding to the mis-information of "poverty". Sadly the only people who will be delighted about this (apart from the labour party...) are the social workers who will be asking for more funds to "get rid of the problem" - which we know will never happen.

Ah, no. Whining fuckwits come from fuckwits whining, nothing to do with thinking.

And as the rest of your post is at least as full of shit I'll not bother with it.

A good Marxist idea that - "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs"

Which is nothing like what I suggested.

Which is no more than what occurs naturally: From each according to his ability; to each according to his ability.

Need is a completely arbitrary concept, used by socialists to mean "can't afford".
