KaskadskyjKozak Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Nope. He seems to pretty much think everything is A-OK. funny, I never heard him say that. perhaps eric is just a normal human being living his life and doing what he can without bragging, rather than acting like a bloviating besserwisser with an egomaniac complex?

rob Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Jesus, what fun is life without bragging? Isn't that what this website is all about? I read somewhere that god just sits around watching us, and kills us when we get boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericb Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Nope. He seems to pretty much think everything is A-OK. Actually - I don't think everything is A-OK.....I think the trickle-down part of our capitalist ideology is broken - specifically, thanks to our greed and consumerism, the wealth doesn't "trickle down" in practice like it should in theory. The current administration rightfully believes that NGOs are far more efficient at distributing aid than the government, so it relies heavily on this mechanism. Unfortunately, all they can do is make you rich, and give you tax breaks for donating to these organizations - they can't make you give. To sit here and bitch about what the government is not doing is not particularly constructive - if you can see holes in the system, do you part to plug them. In Tvash's case, the evil government enabled a free market system that made him a lot of money and let him keep most of it...enough that he apparently doesn't need to work. And what does he do with the excesses that have been afforded him??? Nepal, the Caribbean....you know the rest, or you can ask Fairweather.

tvashtarkatena Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 How often do you volunteer, eric? I used to work with highschool youth ~ 4 hours per week, but since the new baby (and my more than full-time employment), not too much right now. Why do you ask? So Eric, exactly how many hours per week should us liberals be volunteering again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvashtarkatena Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 No, pretty on target, I think. Best to mind what's on your own plate, particularly when it's empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaskadskyjKozak Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Nice selective quoting, and not exactly my point but nice dodge nonetheless in addition to his impressive post count on cc.com, TTK is also training to set the speed record on tiger mountain. so, clearly, his free time is all max'd out.

i_like_sun Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Alright Mr. Tvrashtarkatena a.k.a. trash talker, you are either 1) WAY too smart for the rest of us pathetic spray normals or 2) Simply the biggest asshole I've ever come across. or 3) Simply have the worst sense of humor I've ever come across or 4) A combination of 2 and 3. I'm banking on # 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minx Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 wow this thread is disturbing on a so many levels. cc.com has reached new elevation as a sick and twisted bunch. for the group of you preventing the trickle down effect, if you're not going to volunteer some time to help those in need, write a check (that's what i do. it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
