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.

Clearly the customer in this instance.  :P

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

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

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

Does it bother you?

the economy IS a zero-sum game

Wow.

Yeah, that's gonna leave a mark.

:lol:

Not really.

You're right; you do seem to revel in your own ignorance.

No, I'm simply not as terrified of being wrong as you are.

That's good.  I'd hate to think that you live your life in perpetual fear.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Tell me: When was the last time you disagreed with someone over something that could actually cost you anything?

There's no real risk to you in joining the mob since I'm an acceptable target. Would you even dare voicing an unpopular opinion?

Being right is fine thing to be.  You should try it. :)

More seriously, though, I do applaud Slargos for consistently challenging the majority.  Without him, who would stand out as the voice for racism, zero-sum economic beliefs and the benefits of low-quality kitchenware? 

I eagerly await his challenging the validity of gravity.
