Wow, isn't Capitalism cool. Actually, Capitalism is a big ol' pile of • donkey
doo[3].

Did I write this? *rolls eyes*


   I thought you were joking, but there is another from down under saying
similar things right now.  From now on I won't take any of you seriously!
(at least with politics, etc) - at least your courteous enough not to point
out the things I would smack myself for saying.

  I think that is a good start for the debate group - saying something
completely outlandish will usually get a few (nearly flaming) replies in
that group.

Anybody who thinks Capitalism is donkey doo just doesn't understand it or
simply refuses to believe the data.
  Either doesn't understand or is nuts.
Or stayed up way too late (sans caffeine) and made a crap joke. Which
apparently touched a raw nerve. Wow, I can't believe I posted that. Man, I
always get delirious after about 2:30am without caffeine assistance. Sorry
guys. *hangs head*


   I think I reacted harshly, too.

Except that the 13 year-old was serious.....  Please remember, I'm an AFOL,
what could be more capitalist than owning as many Lego pieces as I can?
Well, I guess that sums up most of us, doesn't it.
Actually, I think I know the post you're talking about, it was this kid on
RTL who posted a want list with all the $200-$300 airports on it, and then
stressed that he only had pocket money to pay for them :-)  Man, I'm glad I
wasn't reading _that_ one at 2am, who _knows_ what I would have replied...
:-\


   Who knows?!  I wish you had; it may have been very funny.  Actually,
those posts come up almost monthly.  Reminds me of the pain of thumbing
through S@H catalogs when I was their age.  C'est la vie.

That's it, I'm going to bed early tonight. No more late news-reading for
me.


   I've said that before... but its such an ideal time to catch up.

"He who dies with the most toys..." .....er, had the most fun before he
went?

Oh boy....
