Oh well. Just one more, then. I promised myself I wouldn't, and I know I shouldn't, but hey, what the hell.
i'm sure tuffy will cry when he finds out.
Tufty, as in the road safety squirrel, not tuffy. It's a long story.
I responded to all your arguments very succinctly
Yes, you responded to my comments, but you might as well have said "banana banana toothbrush" for all the relevance most of it had to the actual question raised. Part of the pattern of ignore / evade / redirect you've carried out through the thread.
you obviously can't argue your points better, so you're ragequitting.
No, I can't be bothered to beat my head against a wall. It's a pointless exercise that benefits neither the wall nor myself.
it's very easy and lazy to use "capitalism" as your whipping boy since Karl Marx famously made it a dirty word. Unfortunately that doesn't mean you know anything about it.
No, I know /nothing at all/ about it. After all, I only spent 25 years working in the financial sector; the London Stock Exchange, LIFFE (now NYSE Euronext), JP Morgan, HSBC / James Capel, a bunch of small companies specialising in swaps and derivatives trading software, so on and so forth. My speciality is pricing and detection of trading fraud in complex derivatives, but I've done a bunch of stuff to do with risk management and a fair amount of (mainly currency) arbitrage support work. If I could be arsed, I could give you something close to chapter and verse on on how absolutely wrong the concept of "free market" capitalism is, where the carefully-pasted-over flaws are. But I can't be arsed.
Here's my opinion, just for the record. Keyboardlover's position is naïve at best, mere regurgitation of a mishmash of poorly thought out arse-dribble at worst. It's totally at odds with any objective reality.
I think if that were actually true, you'd be able to prove it rather than just say it. That's not debating; that's just lame.
You're confusing opinion with statements of fact. The only one here qualified to comment on my /opinion/ is me. Stating "my opinion is x" is, if you believe me to be telling the truth, indeed proof that my opinion is x. It's not proof that x is true, although I personally believe it to be so.
Anyway, I'm off to weep over my striking-off from your best debater list.
