Re: Phats YouTube Beliefs-Secular Side.
End of the Road is nothing but goldbug propaganda. I am researching who is behind it but looks like it was marketing material for gold selling firms. Look at comments on IMDB and other places. Seems odd that they were calling for a collapse but it never happened. This video is over 11 years old. Time has not treated it well.
Phat found another shiny object.
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

You dont want to face it and address it because you dont even understand what money is or what determines its value. Why not ask your financial advisor for his prediction where your investments will go?
I understand much better than you what money is and what determines its value. You have no clue and you continue to follow shysters and grifters.
I follow professional advice pretty closely and it has treated me pretty well through the years. As a matter of fact, my investments are up 4% since you posted this drivel. That in itself means nothing. I care where those investments will be in 10 years. So far listening to the experts has treated me better than listening to goldbugs, shysters, and get-rich-quick purveyors would have.

Re: Try thinking Phat
Why would I mention Stalin and Mao? They were evil megalomaniacs. I have nothing in common with them. Our ideologies are nothing alike.
Andrew Jackson was a vile man that openly practiced genocide. If you want to embrace him that says a lot about you.
Do you even understand what the term identity politics means? Or is it just something you heard on a youtube video you watched?
If you want to talk about identity politics start a topic, I am sure the peanut gallery will wipe the floor with you on that topic too.
You are a self-centered, narcissistic, privileged, self-entitled, scared little white man that is afraid that the BIPOC and LGBQT people that always had to study harder, work harder, and try harder than you are passing you by. Tough shit.
Yes, it is always about us. If you are only concerned about self you do nothing to contribute to the health of society or the continuation of the species.
So cry all you want little man. No one cares or is listening.

Re: Scared Little Man
I am projecting nothing.
I am half Puerto Rican and half New Englander. My whole life I have been stuck between two cultures. Never really fitting into either. I and many family members have suffered extreme discrimination. To see me I would look like a stereotypical middle aged white guy. I have suffered discrimination and hate just because of what my last name is and where my father was born.
Not sure what being a self-made man means. I put myself through college. My parents helped as musch as they could. I worked full time while attending school full time. I went to a well-respected catholic school and received my B.A.'s in History and Sociology in 4 years. I started my M.A. at a major university, but did not complete because of burn out and the stress of debt.
After that I had multiple careers, from selling suits to being general manager of a small chain of convenience stores. My last real job was a business systems analyst for a major health insurance company.
I am 60 and have not had a real job in 18 years. I married well. At that time my wife finished her medical residency and we moved to a small town. We decided better if I stayed home and took care of things rather than work for a minimal wage. Then the kid came along and I still don't have a job. I stay busy. Take care of the house, cook, and clean. We have 40 acres and heat with wood. I am always available to help out friends. I volunteer a bit.
So yeah, I am a self-made man. I have made myself into the man I want to be and that my wife and boys can be proud of.
I am not afraid of people taking my privilege. I have been extremely privileged in my life and hope I can use that privilege to assist people to achieve a better life. I will not be a scared little man.
You and your friend do not know shit about me, so you can both go fuck yourselves

Re: Scared Little Man
Kept man is my favorite term for myself. I did very well.
My wife is smart, beautiful, kind and talented. She let's me be me. She is my best friend and we make a great team.

Re: Scared Little Man
It is, but to be honest I have lots of free time. I don't sit around watch TV and eat chocolate bonbons all day.

Re: Scared Little Man
I should bring up the biggest problem with my wife. She is 15 years younger. So I am ready to be all retired and travel. Well she needs to work at least another 10-12 years. I just hope I am not dead before she retires.
I know, I know, what a problem to have.
