You seem to have a pattern when it comes to clearly recalling facts but nice pivot away from the fact that you swallow the Alex Jones bile.

So, who is running the New World Order's mass eugenics mission? It's the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, of course. Jones has long believed that the foundation isn't a philanthropic organization aimed at improving the health and education of children around the globe, rather it's an evil entity vying for global domination. Jones asserted, adding that the billionaire software developer's father was a "top eugenicist," because Bill Gates Sr. served on the board of Planned Parenthood. Jones goes on to says that IBM – for whom he says Gates is just a "front" – was set up as a eugenics trust with "the expressed mission of creating a world-wide race-based system and funded Adolf Hitler."

If you could work out a way to monetarise your hypocrisy and the sheer amount of complete nonsense that you post then you’d be a very wealthy man indeed.

Still be as dumb as a rock but at least you’d be wealthy.

Does this represent your understanding or rather lack of understanding of the Bitcoin?

Do you get paid per non sequitur?

Snubb... stop with the alex jones mainlining - you are starting to sound like a broken record. It's Ok - you think GAtes is a good guy. Well thats nice for you. Now, get back to your cheap whisky, dreams of working in another country (yes... DREAMS) and chatting on FB to people you've never met from forums in countries you've never been to

bsnub, are you saying that pseudolus is a nutbag who has right wing views or ...

because pseudolus has a 'right wing' outlook, he is, by default, a nutbag?

Subtle, but important differences.

That's mind-boggling.

what would you like to have happen?

increase the taxes till they have less than a certain amount of money?

what if the number was reduced to an amount below what you make ant, you'd be all right with that, right?


------------------

anyways, back to reality:

in the west: the rich get richer (with money/skills) and those not rich have the opportunity to get richer by getting an education/upping their skills.

in china: hundreds of millions of people have been brought into the middle class in the last couple decades.

in thailand, since i first came as a MUIC exchange student in 1990, i've seen the standard of living increase every decade for thais and the the gdp (per capita) has trippled the last 20-30 years.

in "shithole countries" they're still trying to get their shit together (half joking).

The man is an imbecile. I am not Right Wing. He believes that if someone doesn't drop to their knees and worship Clinton, and will not believe that these is a difference between trump and all the others like obomba, clinton, bush (all the same as far as I am concerned), I must be a right winger. He is certifiably insane ..... and a liar... but that's been shown many times elsewhere.

Wealth, worth, and value is not real.
An invented extension of the game.

Certainly applies in contemporary times - of the last hundred years.

well, with that wealth, the "wealthy" have over the last thousands of years developed language, science, food, the arts., etc.

or did it develop by itself among peasants, IYO (just asking as that thought just came to mind in response to your post)?

The oldest Washing Machine, rusty, was quite small. Would wash a pair of jocks and a handkerchief.



Then the second generation machine.

I've been my Thai Partner more then 6 years and this thing was old when I first went to the Farm ... has to be at least a decade old.



Note that, a decade after the cardboard box came off ... the polystyrene is still under the machine.

The gearbox/clutch was starting to play up, so the BEAST (below) was bought.



Big enough for me to hop in and get a clean.
Note, 12 months after delivery, the sticker on the front is still attached ... sort of like it's very own Red Plates.



We have Twin Tubs because we sort of don't have any reliable town water, we fill it up by hand with buckets.

Even though the machines have grown, the Thai Family's washing style hasn't.
Minimum water, maximum soap powder.

Re Thai consumerism, not trying to make a social comment, just thought it was a couple of amusing photos.

Indeed, and of course the ultimate ignorance is refusing to investigate something you choose to discuss.

Piss is bliss! And many millions out there concur. Piss is the ultimate self knowledge.
