I have a Masters in Economics

Is this supposed to be a rebuttal? Your "credentials" impress a whole lot less than ontheway's taking the time to reply at length. Perhaps you could at least try to respond with an actual argument?

He was obviously being satirical. He just forgot to use an emoticon. (God, I hope I am not wrong about that!)


I already stated my opinion, that a lot of what the fellow is asserting is basically unknowable theorising. Pie-in-the-sky, simplistic, etc. I see the situation as being far more nuanced than this babyish market = good, state = bad that often gets bandied about here.

I call you guys loons/autisitcs not because I really think that, but simply because you all take yourselves and your opinions far too seriously, whilst engaging in debate on these forums of a quality that is mediocre at best, dire at worst.

Judging by the heated responses I got I guess I might be right.

As for the Masters, who cares? I do indeed possess one, from an excellent university too (well, in the global rankings they reckon) Cool

(Though bacasper is right in that I only cited it for reasons of trolling)

Yeah, you got beat. So why don't you get a life and stop trolling (or else actually provide a rebuttal already). Your "wit" alone will not endear you. Nobody cares.

*sigh*

Well, I know you nutters like a good wrangle, so I'll provide this rebuttal, the extra-simplistic and ridiculous logic should be at about the level of you guys. Twisted Evil

What we need is Communism, man. That guy Barack "I love Lenin" Obama ought to collectivise everything, from health care to farms to convenience stores. The CIA needs to take more lessons for the old KGB and start arresting all the people speaking out against the New World Order and the Globalists! The government should delegate more power and sovereignty to the UN, who will then regulate EVERYTHING Exclamation Guns should be banned outright, and members of the NRA thrown in gaol. Banks will be regulated and not allowed to make obscene profits Crying or Very sad Everybody will be forced to take WELFARE payments, bwahahaha! The welfare payments will turn everybody into SLAVES! Barack Obama will be our new slavemaster while we toil away on our kolkhozes.

Not to neglect antagonising our British listeners- all power should be delegated to the European Union. 'nuff said.

Well, you see, I'm a little hungover and am waiting for the bus. I thought to myself "What will be a fun passtime? I know, let's go and bait some libertarians for an hour or two".

True story.

And calling people loons, autistics and nutters is an example of the opposite, I suppose?

And what lovely part of the UK are you from, may I ask? Whichever ugly urban sprawl it is, does this bring back memories?

No, namecalling is the exact same, that's why I say ridiculous things- I just want to fit in and be loved Crying or Very sad

Yeah, good memories, nothing like ugly and stupid strumpets to make a night out complete.

Calling other people nutters is supposed to be an insult. That's classified as an ad-hominem attack, and an ad-hominem attack entails a TOS infraction.
The TOS stands for Terms of Service. Please refrain from such said ad-hominem attacks. You may read the updated TOS. We posted it. It's out there.
