It makes you very normal to have friends.
Some from here, some from there.
All humans, all similar yet different to you.

This goes to show.
100% of people are interesting, if you give them a chance to be.



Quick question tho, since you seem so religious.

Can you serve both god and money?
Is the American dream of wealth accumulation in direct contradiction of God's plans?
No, but the bible clearly states that a man who squanders investment opportunities deserves to have nothing.

Ever read the parable of the talents? It's a biblical mandate to invest one's money. In the old testament, Joseph's interpretation of Pharaoh's dream specifically details that the lord offers us periods of excess so that we can stow away that excess for times of famine.

Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.

Matthew 13:12.

Now with that said, does not communism go specifically against this principal? The bible is full of stories of the Lord and/or God before Christ bestowing the blessings of wealth and prosperity to his adherents.

You seek to make a system where God can no longer do that, which is why communism is inherently a satanic ideology.

Avarice is one thing, but the concept of equity of outcome is anti-thetical to the bible entirely. Why do you think the prerequisites for a socialist takeover, always require dismantling of the church, repression of religiosity, and elevation of "humanist" ideals over liturgical ones? In communist Russia, the Bible was banned for most of duration of the USSR empire. In communist china, religion and the dehumanization intrinsic to anti-religiosity is/was so prevalent that a knife attack that results in a man bleeding out on the streets has people walking around the victim on the sidewalk for hours while no efforts are made to seek emergency services whatsoever. Have you seen the videos circulating on 4chan where Asians callously walk past children that have been hit by cars are left in the streets to be repeatedly ran over while everyone just minds their own business? Where prisoners' organs are harvested for their elite? The value of human life in such a culture is next to nothing, but carry on.

does context matters?
Investment opportunities, in a world where usury is illegal and where taxation is high (the king demands it), most richer folk would find that investment opportunity was basically investing in your community.


Or, in modern speech.

SOCIALISM.

Did you get something else form that parable?

I believe the Bible clearly state how the American dream is anti christian.

No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

I'm just quoting your holy book.
Don't hate.

No, but systematic destruction of just the US financial system is the goal. It's ok to continue running Jew banks in other countries, and its still ok to amass fortunes from monopolizing the blood diamond trade in Africa and controlling to outflow of those diamonds to create artificial scarcity.

well, seems like you are adamantly against what I say, even though I try to make sense.
Can you just imagine if we leftists started to speak like this, though?

Like you understand about artificial scarcity.
We live in a world where 50% of the food we create is thrown away.
Where people die of diseases we have a cure from.

The real problem is leftists though.
Those rich assholes who control the world bank.

All of them leftists.

So yeah.
Usually, posts are great until some republican come here to say hitler did nothing wrong, or to say the election were stolen. That the jew bnker did this and Jibardick being confused as to who the antisemites are.

Then it devolves.

I am pretty sure this is ok in off topic.

And I am pretty sure that no one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

I'm sorry, I live in a dirty socialist country.
We're not perfect, but we are pushing for cheaper tuition, instead of more expensive.
For universal healthcare.
And the inclusion of all minorities in the public discourse.

So yeah, capitalism like it is now is purely American.
Struggling countries cannot get funds, or loans, unless they accept American policies.... that keep them struggling and an open bottom-feeder market for foreign corporation.

Like you don't have to agree with my political views to realize this is the truth.

America coup'ed over 80 times in the past half a century. Aligning itself with despots and dictators because it furthered its capitalist agenda. Can't have leftists running governments in the global south can we.

Grow the fuck up.
I'm not saying the school bully should die, I'm saying that he should know he is the bully and people should tell him more often and perhaps his friend could stop being friends with the bully until he changed his shitty attitude.

And you find that offensive?
Hope you don't have kids.

You ignore an entire book full of anti-rich dogma to focus on one bad interpretation of one story to justify your fucked up worldview

Jesus loved the poor. You don't.

Using defamatory language to denigrate people of European ancestry who died in droves to stop Hitler isn't exactly being inclusive of minority viewpoints. It's racism. Simple as.

How many white Americans died in WW2 storming the beaches of Normandy?

How many white Americans died in the civil war ending slavery?

The entire white privilege concept is inherently flawed. What white privilege did I enjoy growing up with abusive alcoholic father who squandered all his money in the poker machines at the bar on payday resulting in the power being cut off for months in a row?

How much white privilege did I enjoy when he became an intravenous meth addict dumpster diving in the streets of Portland for checkbooks to commit felony fraud? While we living in hotel rooms when we needed to get out of the car we were living in to take a shower.

Where was the white privilege when he shot my older brother and I up with meth at the age of 13 and 14 forcing me to call the police when I came to to live in halfway house for 6 weeks before my grandmother threatened my mother with disownership if she didn't come get us, which she was planning not to do.

Was it white privilege when my brother and I had to go to the food bank to get food because dad was too embarrassed to, being dispersed food by the Christian church ran organization staffed by parents of my class mates who would make fun of us in class about it in the days to follow?

Was it white privilege when we had to gather driftwood off the beaches of Seaside, OR to cook our food on the wood stove?

Or was it white privilege when, after getting kicked out of my mother's house at the age of 16 to live under a fucking tarp by the Guadalupe river, and then upon coming an adult and applying for financial aid to go to college, the system demanded to know my parents income to disqualify me from financial aid?

Where are the free scholarships and diversity programs for white kids of a poor socioeconomic background who's parents have abandoned them, that don't consider their parents' income until they turn 25? Where are the minority farm loans being extended only to white people of a poor socioeconomic background?

Where are the 80 billion dollar programs for poor white owned businesses?

Where was the white privilege when two asian cops ona power trip woke me up in the middle of the night pulling me out of my car to beat the shit out of me with nightsticks, stealing my wallet with 350$ in it and leaving me unconscious in the fucking parking lot, having to peel the dried blood off of my eyelids when I came to the next morning?

But we're all the same, us whiteys. Privileged by skin color.
White privilege indeed. I guess I wasn't born black enough. Fuck you
