Democracy is not dead...... It never lived!

If you want to believe you are better because you feel more that is fine. I will continue to use an objective measure of worth, how much we are paid.

If a person chooses to be poor, and many do, they have no claim on my wealth as I have chosen to be worth more.

You do not know if you have more wealth that the other forum members. You do not know. If a person has wealth they usually don't brag about it. All of that wealth if you did have it would render worthless on the last day.

What evidence would that be? I enjoy coming here to punch holes is your poor arguments. I have the leisure time to do it because I was worth more. In addition the jobs I had were fun jobs, satisfying, creative, and innovative.

Every morning I sit on my deck enjoying my first cup of coffee. I feed the bluejays cat food and delight in their antics as they try to outwit me. I have one racoon who believes she is a pet. She comes three or four times a day for a meal. This evening she laid down under the table near my feet to enjoy the cool shade under the table.

My biggest challenge has been letting go of the thousands of hardbound books in my library.

This is a schizophrenic form of better and lower.
The part about sitting on the deck I consider that to be in the category of better. You get a point there.
But then you come into a forum and beat others down telling them they are worthless, that is a lower. You loose a point there.
In the end you break even and are just like everyone else, for better or for worse.

I know what I earned. My point was more about the choices we make. I chose books, study and practice. Others chose drinking, television and whoring.

Not worthless. Worth less.

You do not know who chose drinking and whoring where do you get that? How do you know if a person studied or not?

Those of us who spent our time ready, studying and practicing have done very well. If you haven't it is because you did other things with your time.

I know people who have huge screen TVs but no books. I have huge numbers of books but no large screen TVs. I chose a path that led to greater income and more interesting work. Others imbibed and watched television.

Not worthless. Worth less.

But you make sure to tell it to them in a way that means they are worthless.
Do you think anyone would like to be told that?

Me personally I don't mind if you call me worthless, because I know what I am and am not.
But to others they might get hurt. That is the only reason i'm saying anything. Because I see you
telling it to others every day and it's not nice.

I didn't even mind when you said I was drinking and whoring and all that, to me it was funny. When you
say it to me we can have a good laugh. But when you say it to others it is just wrong. When you told it to
me I laughed a lot. I know that you know nothing about me, and I will not defend my character or tell you
what my character is because it does not matter here.

If you mean that you have more money than others you could say I have a high net worth.
But instead you said I have more worth. I am worth more than you because I am better than you and I was awesome and studious and you were a looser drunk whor#. That is no way to treat your company now MR V.

I would defend but I do not need to. I will not tell you things to make myself look better. There is no need. Those are things that do not matter.

I am measuring on how much I was paid versus how much others are paid.


It is the best measure available to us.



This is fascinating, mindless drivel. If you want to be worth more you must work.

Material success alone is a hollow and lonely thing. It doesn't bring joy or peace. At the end of it all, it's just stuff that you leave behind.

Worth more. Worth less. Each of us choose.
