I thought neo-liberalism and everyone for himself was supposed to cause just good things. 

Welfare states apply a couple of half measures that are not even real free market, call them neo-liberalism, and when they fail, as they always do, blame the failure on free market capitalism and move on to enact more big goverment laws.

Single black mothers are poor and irresponsible, basically by definition? And this supports the notion that poor people are irresponsible?

No, yes.

Yeah, I don't know why Jacob keeps raising some argument that every black female who has an unplanned pregnancy must be poor and irresponsible.  No one is arguing that, except maybe himself by implication.

And by the way, I saw what you guys did in that Nazi thread.
Not funny.
Making fun of nazi crimes is dismissing the suffering of all their victims.

And you're the one person on the forum who knows anything about Argentina beyond their fondness for steaks and war criminals.

There are certainly very few irresponsible rich people in the world and none who also have a good education; that stuff back in 2008 was the Poor's fault, proof being the well off did exceptionally well out of it, so they can't be irresponsible can they?

After a while you get tired of pointing out the obvious.  My fellow Argentines will have to live out the pain of her final year in office.  One would hope there were some lessons learned and they'll vote in someone other than a FpV candidate this fall, but I'm not so optimistic.

Subtlety in the construction of strawman arguments just isn't possible for you, is it?

It was funny as hell. The Anne Frank one was hysterical.

Free speech and all that jazz right.

Nothing should be off limits for jokes.  The only problem with that thread was that the jokes were mostly puns, and bad ones at that.
