​Y'know, there's a "Preview" button right beside the "Submit Reply" button. Maybe you should read what you're about to post before submitting such an infernally stupid reply.
I AM an individual, you moron. How can you support me against myself?

The "common good" is not served by individual wealth.Tell that to Henry Ford. His company, Ford Motor Company, helped win World War II.
Tell that to Hitler. He supported the individual wealth of the Krupp family but World War II ITSELF was not for the common good. There would not have BEEN a World War II if the common good was the goal.
Phat writes:
Its a good thing that *we* didn't take Henry's individual wealth and give it to FDR. He did it himself voluntarily.
How is it a "good thing" if he did it himself but not if "we" took it?
Phat writes:
Individual Wealth is good.
You say that without any evidence to support it.
Phat writes:
Don't believe everything you hear.
Look in the mirror.

Your beloved "offshore system" streals from the community wealth in favor of individual wealth.
You seem to believe the idea that there *should* be no individual wealth.
Stop dreaming about what "seems" to be and respond to what I actually said.
Phat writes:
And then you have the gall to trot out Jesus to support your warped far left Marxist views.
Nothing I have said is remotely far-left or Marxist.
And YOU have a lot of gall even mentioning Jesus when you spit on everything He said.

Yes.

That's what the antichrist will do.
Again, you quote me and then go off on a tangent that has nothing to do with what I said. The anti-christ will not change the meaning of words.
Phat writes:

No. He obviously will not. He will pretend to BE Jesus.
Phat writes:
... *we* must all be moral individuals...
Do you disagree with that?
Phat writes:
... and we *must* support the collective...
We must render unto Caesar. (But the Jesus in your head never said that either, I suppose.)
Phat writes:
... (One World Government)
We already have one, by the way, the United Nations, which has done a lot of good in the world, despite the idiots who try to thwart it.
And your hatred of governments in general is well-known. It does you no credit.
Phat writes:
This whole idea that there is (or should be) no individual wealth ...
Who said that?
This is what I mean about you spouting right-wing propaganda. THEY say that's what I think and you swallow it hook, line and sinker without paying the slightest attention to what I actually say.
Phat writes:
... and that we would be noble and honorable people if we supported the collective.
Are you saying it's a bad thing to be noble and honorable? Or are you saying that stealing from the collective to build our individual wealth is a good thing?
Phat writes:
It sounds good in theory but were such a government authoritarian and dictatorial (out of necessity, of course. ) we would have problems.
There is no reason to think that a government is "authoritarian" or "dictatorial" just because they disagree with you.

My point was that there would not have BEEN a World War II if Hitler hadn't been supported by individual wealth.

A man can never improve their wisdom or intelligence by being surrounded by a peanut gallery.
Peanut gallery seems to be another term that you don't understand. It refers to people who are not necessarily active in the debate but who comment among themselves about it. In Yiddish they're called kibitzers.
And of course it IS possible to improve your wisdom and/or intelligence by listening to the peanut gallery. You SHOULD be able to learn from ANYBODY.

Re: Rabbit Trail: Follow the peanuts
Phat writes:
What I mean is that it is better to surround yourself with people who disagree with (and challenge) your biases and preconceived notions.
That is typical fake-Christian/creationist thinking - surround yourself with people who "don't understand" so you can feel superior. You don't use us to correct your biases and misconceptions. You use us to confirm them.
Phat writes:
That is why I call you guys the peanut gallery.
You should call us the peanut gallery because we ARE the peanut gallery, not because it's another term you don't understand.
Phat writes:
Occasionally you adopt them into your peanut gallery as a charter member...
A charter member and an adopted member are two different (mutually exclusive) things.
Phat writes:
... y'all have such strict rules...
No. We have NO rules. We may get to the same conclusions but its by different routes.
You should try to learn that when everybody in the room agrees but you, they might be right and you might be wrong.
Phat writes:
... I likely will never get added.
You ARE a member of the peanut gallery.

I have been re-reading a couple of books about Jim Keegstra. He was an Alberta teacher who was fired back in the 80s for teaching anti-Semitic conspiracy theories in his history class. He was later convicted under Canada's hate-speech law.
You sound a lot like him, with your obsession with the "New World Order" and "One World Government" and your disdain for secular humanism, socialism, etc. I felt like replying to the books: [qs=Phat]
