They won't take advice. It hurts their feelings.
Notice how both parties take shots at each other, but only Republicans shriek with umbrage at the idea that they're being "condescended to." Notice how the biggest piece of advice that the Trumpists were saying in the wake of the election was "stop calling us such meanie names." They can spend all day calling liberals America-haters, cowards, and Muslims but if you dare mention that a conservative might be racist, sexist or downright dumb then they start shaking, ball their fists and turn splotchy.
Glenn Beck can title a book Arguing with Idiots and liberals shrug it off. Point out that a moron is acting like a moron and they vote Trump.
Did I just have my "vocabulary" and diction denigrated by someone who cannot even form a cohesive, persuasive argument nor distinguish between rhetorical questions and inquisitive ones?
Besides, Nougat's original comment simply points out how much people disregard or marginalize the socioeconomic class of a person's parents in the factors of success. If you took anything else from his comments, you're clinically retarded.
You have not established anything. Let me do what you did for a second.
"Hey, everybody! Let me make a claim with no evidence: FEMA is creating concentration camps for conservatives! Proof!: http://www.amazon.com/Arguing-Idiots-Small-Minds-Government/dp/1416595015/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257017075&sr=8-1 Haha, I am smart."
No one is comparing the poor to millionaires and saying that they're in the same socio-economic class. You're just being unreasonable. Stop grasping at straws. It falls apart; your argument has no center.
Is there economic mobility in America? Yes. No one is arguing that. That's not the issue. This issue is summed up in this quote, "Children previously from lower-income families had only a 1% chance of having an income that ranks in the top 5%. On the other hand, the children of wealthy families have a 22% chance of reaching the top 5%." I even have a citation for you! http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2006/04/Hertz_MobilityAnalysis.pdf
I've presented you with facts, you dickshit. Either change your misguided opinion or don't. I don't care. I have to do some studying. I can't continue arguing with someone I seriously hope is in junior high or high school. This is pathetic. I have shit to do. Fuck.
"...wealth is often earned by an individual with little to no help from their families. Does coming from a super-rich family help you become or stay rich? Of course." I mean, shit! How dumb are you? You practically contradicted yourself. "Thanks Mom and Dad for paying for Exeter which facilitated my matriculation into Harvard, another expense I could not have covered without your $400,000/year incomes! I can't wait until I am earning my master's in economics at the University of Chicago--another expense which you guys, my rich-ass parents, will undoubtedly cover in my quest for self-reliance. After two years of dicking around in the afterbirth that is Milton Friedman's economic philosophy, I will rely on the connections I made at the ol' alma mater to secure a job as a hedge fund manager at some fucking conglomerate that owns 1/5 of every company you can name, but don't let that stop you, Dad, from calling some of your old buddies from Princeton and Yale Law and putting in a good word. Lord knows I need all the help I can get. However, I promise you that once I have a financial safety net of my own, I will completely leave the aegis that your salary has provided me and pretend like it was all me. Fuck yeah." Shit. I haaaatteeeee people like you who are so ill-informed AND cannot accept fact. It's like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly had some sort of love child, and in an effort to suppress the media outrage that would ensue, they gave it to Ann Coulter to raise. I think you have single-handedly made me give up hope for America. Shyiiittt.
I should be thankful! Perhaps now I can get back to studying for the MCAT instead of spending so much time on reddit. Fuccckkk!
How does someone like you even have the audacity to insult me after I was completely diplomatic, you competitive smegma-eating champion? Fuck. People are dumb. Fucking fuck fuck. Shit. Fuck.
Or smart.
What a rip off selling a book not worth one common cent for $20-00 .
At the same token , I pity the idiot that buys this trash at Wally Mart's thieving prices
NB note the customer tags for this product , they are priceless .
Glenn Beck's bullshit.
