Pope calls for new global environmental authority

[D1B]

In a fit of Joltinian desperation, Tman6.93 attempts to save face several weeks after getting 6.93ed.

Tbag, you're a pathetic pile of shit, but god bless you. You are entertaining.

And yet, neither you or your butt buddy attempted to disprove my assertion.

Again.

Your myopic fixation (hate) of religion has incapacitated your higher thought process. You have been incapable of critical analysis...

...for years.

Let it go before it kills you.

If you were capable of critical analysis, you would have realized I'm supporting the pope pope here. I'm also on record supporting other religions and belief in a higher power, so, another fail for you.

You have not been the same since Houndawg 6'93ed you. Take a break then come back and try again.

We're here for you.

[houndawg]

So now all the anti religion guys want to follow the pope?

God works in mysterious ways

My enemies enemy is my friend.

[houndawg]

You should probably change your opinion since he's been beating you like PeeWee Herman's pecker for half a decade now....

No use for his religion but at least this new pope guy isn't going to be boring.

Speaking of **** idiots, you never attempted to disprove p=mv.

Thanks for acknowledging my superior intellect.

Gutless, wiesel, Troll.

You still mad about not being able to handle the math in engineering? That's OK you can always try bidniz, they water it down for the slower guys......

[houndawg]

Which causes a disconnect when he starts using reason and facts.

which means he probably shouldn't be considered authoritative on science

I think that deep down he believes his Masters in Chemistry more than he believes his Bible.

[houndawg]

Guys, Social Security is not a program whereby you pay for what you're going to get when you retire. It is a program whereby those who are working pay to support those who have aged and stopped working. It's essentially a welfare program where the young are supporting the old.

Here is one article on the situation, but you can probably find others as I've googled them from time to time and never had a problem finding them:

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter ... d-what-yo/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thus, Social Security is — and always has been — a transfer system from younger generations to older generations.

We're all in this together, John, and nobody gets out alive.

Doesn't bother me a bit that my money went to help people mostly too old to work. You're such a bitter little man. And so stingy.

[kalm]

No shit? That's why I'm laughing at you and also at your weak attempt to walk back your lack of understanding towards the context of both articles and the thread.

The guy in my link is wealthy and feels entitled to water because of his wealth. The pope would disagree.

Let me know if you or Andy need more help.

Dug yourself a hole to deep to climb out of, and you're doubling down. I love the tenacity.

How do you know how the guy feels? He didn't say anything of the sort in the article.
What he did say was that he pays more in taxes than all the riff raff in the area so he deserves more water. The water is a commodity and he is willing to pay more for it.

A sense of entitlement is a belief that someone is inherently deserving of privileges and special treatment. Someone who is willing to pay more for a commodity because they have the money is not an entitlement...it is the law of supply and demand.

By all means my friend keep digging, you know one of us will rescue you.

People “should not be forced to live on property with brown lawns, golf on brown courses or apologize for wanting their gardens to be beautiful,” Yuhas fumed recently on social media. “We pay significant property taxes based on where we live,” he added in an interview. “And no, we’re not all equal when it comes to water.”

That commodity is a public utility that belongs to everyone. He's a consumer of the water not an owner of the water.

He's the rich dude in an a post-apocalyptic movie that's one of the first to get killed because he doesn't understand things have changed and he can no longer buy his status.

What a fucking whiney loser.

A sense of entitlement transcends wealth levels, Baldy. I know that doesn't jive with your ideology so let me know if you need further help.

He wouldn't know, because he is this dude. Raised in a gated community and unable to even calculate a weekly paycheck or understand the concept of an average.

When the Push Back comes we'll find his fat carcass roasting on a spit with an apple stuffed in his jowls approximately where a mouth should be.

He's been a shell of his former self ever since.

Wandering around scaring strangers...asking them who John Galt is....

Fuck yeah he's a whiny asshole, but that's what he gets for living in a desert.

I know Cali is a shithole, but is it actually a post-apocalyptic state right now?

Bending reality because it didn't fit your FAILED narrative.

Keep digging if you want, I have plenty of rope.

Your compassion for T6.93 is heartwarming.

How bout we take your jet to Lodi and check in on him?

We're all in this together, John, and nobody gets out alive.

Doesn't bother me a bit that my money went to help people mostly too old to work. You're such a bitter little man. And so stingy

The point is that you're not getting something you paid for when you get social security. People have this thing where they think it's like they put their money up and now they're getting it. That's not what's going on. It's a welfare program.

Also if you look at both major elderly welfare programs together people, on average, get more out of it than they put into it even when inflation is taken into account. To say that Social Security and Medicare are not entitlement programs is ridiculous.

And that "we're all in this together" crap is just something people say when they want to justify having some people suck off of other people. Justifying a parasitic society. Oh yeah. You carry the load and I get to benefit from the fruits of your successes. We're all in this together.

Big Bidniz is the one getting the free ride John. And the biggest welfare program in the nation is the defense budget.It really is. And you know it. Cut our overseas bases in half, take the cap off of earnings and SS is good for another 100 years at least. You should get out a visit some of the first world countries and see how the modern world works.

No it isn't. Under current law how much you are paid in retirement is based upon how much you paid in. So if you remove the cap and and someone pays say 10x as much in, they'll be getting paid 10x as much out. Still insolvent.

You're wasting your time, BDK. Klam and Densedawg don't understand how SSI works. They believe it's a General Fund tax.

[Baldy]

He never attended college. He got a Tech School diploma in chemistry.

IIRC, the initial conversation went something like this...

Baldy:

"It's not an entitlement if you pay for it. "

Kalm:

"What?

So Social Security isn't an entitlement? (And that's not even the use of the word I was suggesting)"

Tman:

"I'm a fucking idiot"

I've always admired your self deprecation, and you brought it out early in this one. Kudos, my man!

Someone needs to learn about context.

An entitlement deemed by government is access to a program or benefit to a group of people based on established rights or by legislative authority.

I educated you earlier in this thread about what an entitlement was by its very definition...the belief that someone deserves privileges or special treatment. Again, when you pay for those privileges or special treatment, it's not an entitlement.

Class dismissed.

Oh good lord you're a glutton for punishment.

We can have the same argument all over again I guess, but your first statement (within the context of what you were replying to) was incorrect. I can accept it is a slightly tongue and cheek, smarmy post...at best.

A sense of entitlement transcends economic status and can even occur for things you pay for. There are countless examples.

How many times do you want to lose this argument?

You're such a battered wife.

There is a difference between an entitlement and a sense of entitlement.
Once you realized you stepped on your dick did you try to shift the discussion.
"wealthy entitlement" - your words not mine. The insinuation (wrong) on your part that the douchebag wanted something for free at other people's expense. Rich dude never said he wanted to be given anything.
If you would have simply said the asshole had a sense of entitlement. You wouldn't have been wrong.

Learn from this lesson, Grasshopper. I won't always be there to help.

Again, an exercise in futility.

Kalm NEVER acknowledges when he loses a debate. He merely shifts, then creates an irrelevant issue in an attempt to mock and draw support from the Board trolls.

I guess we're still going then...

So you read "wealthy entitlement" to mean something along the lines of SS.

Why do you think I immediately responded with a wise crack about SS?

I knew you mistook the phrase from the start.

And we've been waltzing ever since. Whew!!!!

So now that's cleared up, we agree that 1) the wealthy CAN feel a sense of entitlement, the guy was a douchebag, water as strictly a commodity like pork bellies, ain't that simple, and that the word "entitlement" has multiple meanings and doesn't always imply just something you pay for.

I'm glad we worked that one out.
