Spanish soccer pro quits sports in criticism of capitalism

Slargos views on race : Slargos views on economics

United by wrongness.

Quite possible. 

Though I will admit to some curiosity: What exactly are, in your opinion, my views on race?

I don't know if I've tried to analyze what you write very often, because your views on race come across as in general racist, which is enough to know that there isn't much reason to give them further thought.

Yet you still claim you can quantify them. Interesting.

and for one person to make the kind of lol-wages the pro footballers make, thousands of others have to make up for it.

The people making up for it are those who can afford soccer tickets and presumably they feel they are getting their money's worth.

How about this - you HAVE views on race, while most of us don't.

It is sort of like when someone starts talking about men coexisting with dinosaurs. I may not know the details of exactly what he believes, but I can stop listening as I know he is wrong.

Really? I find that hard to believe.

Really? I find that hard to believe.

I have views on people, and on cultures.  I worry not a whit about "race".

Of that there's little doubt. You don't need to know anything to know that you know. It's pretty funny.

are natives a culture or race?

I believe that you believe that. But how is it possible to not have a view on something you know exists?

I can certainly sympathise with his thoughts. No matter how you want to spin it, the economy IS a zero-sum game, and for one person to make the kind of lol-wages the pro footballers make, thousands of others have to make up for it.

Uhhh, yeah....the problem is that the economy is not a zero-sum game, no matter how you want to spin it.

You need some basic econ 101. Start with the concept of specialization.

Perhaps it's just his personal thing.  When ever he sells a cabinet the person he sells it to loses.  Or he loses.  Or the maker loses.  Someone loses.

The economy has a lot more to it than currency. Really, focusing on currency as some kind of placeholder for economic activity is a little...well, wrong.

You don't even need to have currency at all to engage in economic activity...

The potential for production of goods and services is finite

To the extent that this makes any sense, it is demonstrably wrong. The potential for production of goods and services is not at all finite in any meaningful sense.

Can you add hours to the day?

We don't need to add any hours to the day to increase production though - we've had the same 24 hours throughout human history,and yet production has increased immensely, and continues to do so.

This footballer can trade in one of his work hours for roughly 600 hours of those of his averagely earning peers. That is the gist of the issue.

No, the gist is that his peers choose to use an hour of their labor to pay for him to entertain them. How can you (or him for that matter) argues that this is unfair somehow, when they do so of their own free will?

If they do not think his entertainment value is sufficient for the price he charges for it, they won't watch him. You (and him) are arguing that basically they should not be allowed to trade their labor for the product they WANT to purchase!

Wow.

I need to know something: that you post racist crap at every opportunity.
