What I was adding was my opinion, and did so by poking fun at your opinion because it appears to be very narrowly focused and absolute. Your quick jump to "keeping ones mouth shut" further reinforces the perception of the extremity of your character.
I don't know how it goes. If you want, you can let me know by finishing the statement. I'm guessing it ends by me getting called something negative, or some other derogatory comment.
I don't think there is an issue to address. It appears from your statements (though the thread gets a little confusing with all the multiple quotes) that you think corporations are either for the most part, or maybe in total, evil. I disagree, but do not think we will change each other's opinions, so I just chose to point out the folly of holding such an absolutist opinion on the topic.
And I really don't get the relevance of the Rush L. comment. That must be a sideways manner of criticizing someone else who disagrees with you.
I sense you have some very strong negative beliefs about corporations, as well as other things (based on other threads). Some bad personal experiences? If you have had some, they do not mean everyone and everything similar to the factors of your experience are evil.
As some famous person once said, the only common element of all your dysfunctional relationships is you.
So, tell me about your childhood.

Exactly, instead of intelligent debate we have, “poking fun.” Fine, no problem, but now you’re about to break into a crying tirade over me addressing your poking.
ME: I think, as a rule, they are inherently bad. There are exceptions, but these (corps) are people without a conscience hwo protect their founders and take the fall if something goes awry.
YOU: All corporations are absolutely evil.
All people that work for them, but do not own the capital, are absolutely good.
You’re injecting the absolutism and then blaming it on me.

I like how you examine my every motive for my wording, and avoid the merit of all the facts and reference I have posted. You are the master of the Ad Hominem. (Ad Hominem is a character attack) We’re skydivers, we’re extreme people. What I was doing is to say that if you have nothing to add, perhaps you should save yourself from looking foolish and just move along. I look forward to reading constructive additions to this thread.

Poor baby. You come into a thread to “Poke” fun at my argument and you get disrespected…… life is soooooo unfair.
Quote(though the thread gets a little confusing with all the multiple quotes)
Multiple quotes? You mean because I break each person’s response down to elements and reply as opposed to shot gunning the answer, you find it confusing? No one else has a problem with that. Maybe it’s you.
QuoteI don't think there is an issue to address.
There ya go, all you have to do is say, “No issue here, move along.” And you feel a victory - special.
Quote.It appears from your statements that you think corporations are either for the most part, or maybe in total, evil.
Ding, ding, ding, ding….. No getting one past you. I didn’t use the word, “total,” that’s your absolutism, not mine. I think they are inherently evil in varying degrees, rendering the discretion not to be evil in the hands of the owners/presidents.
Quote. I disagree, but do not think we will change each other's opinions, so I just chose to point out the folly of holding such an absolutist opinion on the topic.
The guise is yours, you wrote the absolute words, not me. Instead of being a defeatist, try to change my mind. Or better yet, if ya have nothing to add, move along. So you admit your sole purpose here is to attack the author’s, what you feel are misleadings? Nice, as I wrote, just move along.
QuoteAnd I really don't get the relevance of the Rush L. comment. That must be a sideways manner of criticizing someone else who disagrees with you.
No, like you he posts not to address a lot of the substance, just the author.
QuoteI sense you have some very strong negative beliefs about corporations, as well as other things (based on other threads). Some bad personal experiences? If you have had some, they do not mean everyone and everything similar to the factors of your experience are evil.
Sure, but remember a coiuple things here:
1) I didn’t start the thread.
2) Issues are not about the person but about the merit of the issue.
QuoteAs some famous person once said, the only common element of all your dysfunctional relationships is you.
Is that Freud? Does it matter? Aren’t there some psychology forums for you to espouse your learnings from your psych degree?
QuoteSo, tell me about your childhood.
Your mom did what to who?

I have been shown The Light.
All corporations are absolutely evil.
All people that work for them, but do not own the capital, are absolutely good.
That is the distinction by which I shall live my life.
Amen.
If you have nothing to add, it is better to keep ones mouth shut to avoid looking like a fool, instead of...... hiow does that go?
Why not address the issue? Good thing your reply is next to Rush Limbaugh's above.
