the politically incorrect series

also known as "the racist capitalist sociopath" series

Andres · 08-22-2008, 05:18 AM

capitalism improves the environment

Andres · 08-22-2008, 05:23 AM

reminder: whitey's beliefs about muslims are exactly the same as the ones that the author of this series holds.

Raz · 08-22-2008, 05:24 AM

i approve of this new tactic

Andres · 08-22-2008, 05:28 AM

there's one about how capitalism didn't cause the new deal.

even the most rabid laissez faire follower would agree that the depression, regardless of whether it was caused by government intervention or market forces, is a CAPITALIST problem since it happens in a CAPITALIST society

but no, this doesn't stop this guy.

By all means, explain my beliefs about Muslims. I'd love to hear a nice objective analysis of what exists inside my head.

For real Andres...you're a smart guy, and I respect you and your opinions. But the personal attacks really make you look like a dick.

Athletes deserve their high salaries

Bowman · 08-22-2008, 06:22 AM

Oh it even has a recommendation from Ron Paul.

Andres · 08-22-2008, 06:47 AM

what does it even mean to say capitalism caused the great depression?

come on man, you opened this on yourself by using awful sources. you kinda apologized for it though so i'm willing to let it go from now on.

Andres · 08-22-2008, 06:54 AM

between these assholes and robert corsi, i don't even understand the value of a PhD in american intellectual society anymore.

seriously, a PhD reduced to writing shitty sensationalist rags about how capitalism cures racism? is a PhD worth less than shit these days?

Andres · 08-22-2008, 06:59 AM

i wish it were as easy as a simple answer like "free market capitalism" as a one-size-fits-all cure for all ailment. too bad reality just fucking sucks dick.

Aaron Haynes · 08-22-2008, 07:24 AM

Capitalism has the potential to do more social good, and faster, than federal programs, if business owners actually considered their corporations to be able to enact social change and better society in addition to turning a profit. Like some of the philanthropic models of the early 20th century, the market doesn't have to only be about economic progress. There was a pretty decent TIME article about this recently, documenting some of the not-for-profit humanitarian and social efforts corporations have done since America's founding.

Unfortunately, this responsibility is almost entirely ignored and exists primarily in the fantasies of people like this author. Though I suspect a lot of the people who insist the free market can solve all social problems actually just thinks that it's not anyone else's responsibility to solve real social problems (hence they aren't really "problems").

Aaron Haynes · 08-22-2008, 07:25 AM

BTW, I think you meant Jerome Corsi, not Robert.

"I don't hate Muslims, I just vote for those that do!" - Whitey

That's all folks!

Air Rick · 08-22-2008, 01:37 PM

why isn't anyone bringing fiction into this thread? Why do all the books listed have to be either satire or (personal) manifestos?

Andres · 08-22-2008, 02:34 PM

because i spot shitty books when i'm browsing the non-fiction sections only.

speaking of which, it's august. heath ledger died in january. there's no good fucking reason why there have to exist TWO books in the market detailing his "beautiful life and tragic death" (thats the name of one book). that's more like "worst profession ever", having to write hack books about celebrities/historical figures that just died/became popular.

Wow Whitey, you lucky son of a bitch. Looks like Andres is willing to forgive your sins! I think you have some serious foot-kissing to do.

Aaron, you completely fail to understand the concept of what a business's goals are and ought to be.

Andres · 08-22-2008, 03:35 PM

please don't lecture anyone on what any aspect of the world is and ought to be.

Andres · 08-22-2008, 03:36 PM

you know-nothing smartass.

Slade · 08-22-2008, 03:36 PM

Aaron doesn't tend to be wrong about anything he has the slightest knowledge of. He's a machine.

Andres · 08-22-2008, 03:45 PM

bowman why do you even bother wiht these things? you've been soundly refuted here.

Shaun · 08-22-2008, 05:18 PM

Did anyone notice the irony that the guy on the cover looks suspiciously like the Monopoly guy?

You'd be surprised about how many celebrities in their physical prime/youth have biographies waiting to go upon their death. Same for TV documentaries. Someone will spend their life writing and waiting for someone else's life to end so they can get rich.

Eh I won't stop until I can see the logic of your arguments. So far I haven't. You're more persistent than I am, more abusive than I am, and more popular here than I am which is why everyone thinks your arguments are better. I'm not an unreasonable guy. If you come up with convincing arguments, I'll accept them; I'm not a mouthpiece for some rigid concept. But I just haven't found anything you've been saying to be convincing, from an objective standpoint.
