Let the mud fly!

Aren't you Canadian? Why are you so obsessed with the US? Isn't there anything to do up there?

Its called " I wanna be like Mike " Syndrome.

:)

You still pretending to be a Jew? Isn't there anything better to do down there?

There's credibility for ya.

To all the rabble out there hating their betters because they're successful and you're not......a question.

What have you EVER done to SUCCEED in this world?
What have you done that seperates you from the great unwashed masses?
If you can't answer that, you're exactly where you SHOULD be in the food chain.

Says the guy still flying the same sig graphic circa 2003

It's actually circa 1999 and I fly it because I CAN.

shit.
didn't mean to kill the thread, just add perspective.

The video didn't load for me, but I have noticed it's quite unequal. The suburbs with people who work is mostly Fords and Chevys. All of the Cadillacs are in the subsidized housing projects and owned by the freeloaders.

Poverty soars under Obama:

It's not boingboing moron, it's msnbc and it's an interview with warren buffett (your rabble that hates his betters) and a report on an actual study on class separation.

What's pathetic is your attempt to scale others success with your own trash version of it. What's funny is your attempt to separate yourself from the masses when the fact is you're not going down in history as anything, not even a scribble. What's sad is your inability to see MOST people are trying and many have had success, but today simply can't get anything to work but bad luck.

I'll let you get back to you pretending to be bill gates and buffett type life style, with your mountains of success and all.

When you have a record amount of people living on welfare, it would kinda be logical that poverty goes up.

Sad though... sad that it doesn't have to be this way or this bad, sad that Americas would rather let others starve in the streets, because they don't think they're trying hard enough... this is what our country has become, yuk.

so one just needs to figure out how to be in the top 20% (not THAT hard) and all is good :thumbsup

You think without the government these people would starve in the streets? I agree, this is what our country has become YUK.

ouch, looks like my question struck a nerve with one of the rabble.

no surprise.

Amazed at how many people in the video chose the wrong pie chart.

i don't know why you think you are so special. you set up some paysites in the days it was easiest to make money with online porn.

Not me. They believe "The Dream" and will never wake up.

That is NOT how he made money ...

( ... Standard Internet ... ) ... check it out and you will see what hisbusiness on thge net was before becoming a roofer !

Ah, the lament of the unaccomplished.

And what did YOU do son?
I mean, if it was so easy and all. :1orglaugh

Oh boy!
This thread will heat up now that the day jobs are over.

Yep, it's my pity nerve, it saddens me to know your views of the world around you are so narrow minded.

i wasn't 18 yet. had i been about 5 years older then things probably would of been vastly different. not to say i haven't done anything. i am just not a self proclaimed millionaire such as yourself.

Yes... but I fail to see how that is relevant when solutions are around us.

Who wants to believe the US is as unequal as China or African dictatorships? The super rich better wake up. The super rich in late 18th century France and early 20th century Russia didn't want to stop their greedy ways. How'd that work out for them? Eventually the much larger bottom 90% says "enough is enough".

Fact is 70% of our economy is consumer spending. Now give 1000 guys $1 billion each or 200 million people $5,000 each. Now this is the SAME amount of money. Which one would have a better effect on the economy? It's obvious the 2nd one would.

Economic inequality is only bad if your on the wrong side of it...:pimp

Economic inequality in America: how bad is it?

I prefer this question: high taxes, red tape, and big government in America: how bad is it?

You must factor inflation into your "obvious" answer...:winkwink:

Well, being that we have some of the lowest taxes in history, very few industries are actually filled with red tape in areas that don't actually need it, and the gov has been far larger in various ways... so it's not as bad as it has been.

Capitalism didn't cause that.

If anything, a true capitalist would help such a child. The Gates Foundation is one such entity that has contributed alot in Africa.

The starving children are a result of corrupt governments. Socialism is a form of corruption. The African variety puts lawless warloads in charge. The American variety tries to force some people to pay for other people's health care --and kills jobs with high taxes --causing poverty.

Corrupt governments can make people miserable (US) or they can outright kill (Africa).

Top heavy governments where the ruling class get all the benefits and the people get little.. are characteristic of many socialist countries.

You seem to get saddened quite easily. You were very sad last time you went through a posting frenzy. Is there a connection? I'm never sad when I read GFY. Most of the time I smile and occasionally even laugh at some of the naiveté posted here.

Chin up trooper...better times are coming.

Seriously? He is Canadian.
That is classic. So I have to imagine all the trolling is an attempt to be pimpdog from the north.

Here's a tip BFT...it's not working. If you want to be Pimpdog and build your program you need to really crank up the meaness. Posting all the pictures you do only makes you look silly.

Mostly only capitalist nations ran the slave trade but of course no children were
harmed....right?


Go figure.

Someone must feel pity on those that are so sickened with greed and the self, that it warps the view of reality around them to a point where the lies they believe, is the reality they experience.

taxes are NOT high in America. Taxes have not been this low on the super rich since 1958. Please use FACTS before posting. I bet you love 12clicks fucking you in the ass, while The Demon has you suck his cock.

You're 23 now?
That explains a lot.

His kid spew the bitterness and envy of someone who can't answer my question.

Facts, moron?
here's a fact for you. If you made $32k a year in 1958 (most likely around what you make) you'd pay 50% income tax.
odd your idiot kind never mentions that.
Probably because you don't KNOW it. That wouldn't fit the story you've been spoon fed.:1orglaugh

What is this all a boot, eh?

No, I'm 33. You started out in 96 didn't you? I guess I would of just been 18 then but I didn't even use the internet till 98, and later that year I first started making sites. Yeah, I should of made paysites back then but I didn't have the knowhow (how was i supposed to upload content on dialup?, etc) and being 20-21 I was happy making 10-20k a month as an affiliate. Perhaps if i lived in a place where high speed was available before 2004, things would of been different. Had I been older and bought quality .com's in 96, things most likely of been different. Blah blah blah. Anyways, yeah I remember now all the talk of you making money with installs/standard internet, etc. Pretty scummy but hey it made you bank and in the process gave you a huge chip on your shoulder. congrats on that. being in the right place at the right time had a huge impact on your success, I imagine.

sorry, chumly. I opened my first paysite in 2006, when you were 28 not 18 and none of the domains are "quality"
so what are your excuses again?
inability? yup. thats about it.
I was on the internet at the same time as untold 10s of thousands of others like you who are now gone so please save the right place right time nonsense for your mom.
you're just another affiliate watching his earnings shrink. You don't have the ability or intelligence to rise above that so you explain it away by calling people who have "lucky"
Its ok, little fella, we all can't be me.:thumbsup

Strange. You were here talking the big man talk before 2006 so whatever you did, installs, paysite, whatever you did *something* long before that. your 12clickskeyword paysites did not and are not making you rich. they were just a front for cross sales most likely anyways. there would be no reason why someone would join such a generic site.

well, you see son, its thinking like that that keeps you as a 33yr old affiliate.

You know what successful people call that?
failure.
feel free to keep chasing me around in thread after thread. Its what envious trolls do.:thumbsup

When I was 33 I owned multiple successful businesses.
Guess I was lucky to be 33 before you or things would be different.:1orglaugh
