I think you missed the joke.
I caught the joke, but Nuka's was infinitely funnier.

Because most people aren't stupid enough to take that shit seriously, nigger.
Why not just politely ask me not to use that word if it makes you feel uncomfortable instead of making a thr—oh wait, you're DigitallZesty. Fucktard extraordinaire. I forget.
Hmm, interesting. You're making this about you, thinking that you're the cause of the problem.
No, I'm not going to tell you to stop using it because it doesn't offend me. It's just a bit cringey thinking that 15-17 white kids are using the word nigger among themselves.
That implies that people actually willingly spend time with Verbatim.

Spoiler The redistribution of wealth is something that the rich must take upon themselves. They can take as much redistribution upon themselves so long as the government enforces a minimum. Keynesian economics will only get you so far for so long, at some point, we have to recognise that it is the responsibility of those who hold wealth to decide on how to distribute it. Yeah, I'm no Keynesian. I do agree, however, that wealth redistribution can only happen so much before the economy tanks. If they can give you money, they can tell you how to spend it. Well I agree with you there, and I think it's a tragedy. I'd never support (and don't support) a welfare system which pretends to know what is in the best interests of the poor. It is borderline impossible to buy other things. Well, part of the reason dictating what people should buy doesn't work is because people underestimate the ingenuity of the poor. Depending on the system, they will find a way to swap and trade whatever they want. Because of these taxes and welfare systems, the rich don't feel obligated to look after the lower class. They probably wouldn't anyway, without some other motivating factor. They don't feel the need to spend their money on domestic products to help out entrepreneurs Good, they shouldn't have to. Free trade is a good thing for a reason. But now I'm ranting, so...
Yes, yes you are.
You don't believe that buying domestic products increases the standard of living for everyone around you? America became a super power in the early 20th century by essentially being a massive circle jerk, and doing a lot more exporting than importing. The very wealthy have always felt obligated to share, and the middle tier of rich people, who reside in millions, as opposed to billions, used to feel the same. With the current tax situation going the way it is in the US, those people feel like they've already done they're part. People know wealth needs to be redistributed, the problem is we don't like being forced. Not only would we rather do it out of the kindness of our hearts, but that way it ends up in the hands of who the benefactor wants it to end up in the hands of.

Funny thing is, he expands all of his hidden posts. In fact, it probably makes him more eager to read what is written. Spoiler It's pretty funny that he's butthurt about being called edgy, too.

My main problem with Marx, as the late Christopher Hitchens noted, was that he drastically underestimated the capacity for capitalistic innovation.
Other than that, I'm not entirely sure how to approach your question. I don't know what you're asking. It seems to me that inordinate wealth distribution is not only unnecessary, but undesirable. I'm all for redistributing wealth to the bottom of the socioeconomic pile now though, without taxing the rich at 80pc as some French academics would have us do. I'm not entirely sure how you can justify the "cut off point", either. When do we reach the point of enough innovation to begin the redistribution of wealth?
The redistribution of wealth is something that the rich must take upon themselves. Keynesian economics will only get you so far for so long, at some point, we have to recognise that it is the responsibility of those who hold wealth to decide on how to distribute it. The day the government gets together to discuss the redistribution of wealth (a day that has already come for many countries; RIP American market economy), is a day that any Capitalist nation should mourn the passing of the greatest economic principle mankind has ever known: Consumer Sovereignty. The day that Big Brother decides how the wealthy ought to allot their money, is the first step they have taken to deciding how the poor allot their money, however meagre. If they can give you money, they can tell you how to spend it. Am I speaking baselessly? Is there no proof that they would abuse this in such a way? There is proof. In the US, we have a system in place to assure that no American goes hungry. Perhaps your country has welfare for the unemployed? Or even the same system I am about to cover? If your household has the correct number of people, and an annual income below a marked amount, then you qualify for Food Stamps. Now, food stamps are ONLY for food. It is borderline impossible to buy other things. That's okay. What's more, some brands are off limits. Only certain retailers are licensed to accept food stamps. Consumer choice has now been limited to the food that the government can make the highest tax revenue letting you buy, because sales tax is compiled after a bill has been written. So now, the rich have been taxed so the poor can eat, and the poor have been taxed more so that the government can get a better return. Perhaps this person has bought more than they would've on their own dime. That's even more taxes in the government's pocket. Because of these taxes and welfare systems, the rich don't feel obligated to look after the lower class. They don't feel the need to spend their money on domestic products to help out entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs can't expand to sell foreignly if they can't sell domestically. You stop taking money in and you only send it out, and everyone is afraid to invest because the economy looks so bad. Kickstarter is the greatest example of private sector wealth redistribution at work that the 21st century has ever known, and there would probably burgeoning microinvestment firm in every city if the government would stop trying to impose wealth redistribution on the people. But now I'm ranting, so...

Not liking delusional people makes me a bigot? Lolk
And believe me, I want no part in this thread.
Then why did you even post in the first place?
To say my piece and leave. Other than expressing my general distaste in what this thread supports, I want no part in the actual discussion. Which is why posted what I wanted, and now I'm only still in it for the sake of responding to others about that post.
It's spelled 'peace' Mr Perfect SAT score.
First off, didn't get a perfect SAT score. Second, you understand what homophones are, right?
And you used the wrong one, faggot. You should have said 'peace.'
Uh, no. Say my piece. I'm giving a piece of my opinion, of my thoughts. "Say my peace" literally makes no sense.
Holy shit. I had literally never thought about that expression or it's context before.

Okay Flood, post about how you dress in here, and be judged for being a pleb by others. Spoiler Regular clothing for me consists of solid colour or striped tee shirt, Levi's 514 (the only jeans I buy), and a sweater that is too large. I usually wear canvas shoes, but I have a few pairs of brown suede or black leather.
I'm partial to big coats and ridiculous scarves during the winter. I never ever wear a belt with anything. If I'm wearing a suit (and I use every excuse I can to wear one), I'm wearing suspenders, or a waistcoat.
How does the Flood dress?

Top ten anime?
I guess I'll try.
- Kara no Kyoukai
- Fate/Zero
- Baccano!
- Steins;Gate
- Monster
- Monogatari Series
I can't really think of anymore, I've seen at least 40 different anime series but trying to decide on which ones I would consider favourites beyond the ones listed is quite difficult.
Yutakas alt, eh?

Fuck her right in the pussy. Stick it in her pooper. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... Maybe tell her mother that her daughter is getting uncomfortably close to you?
Other than that, I can't see any way out.
If you're just a dick, or you're cold and aloof, her mother will think you're a dick to children.
Maybe you could show up with a girl who has really nice tits, and get all handsy with each other right in front of her.
Or fuck her mom.
