  1. You must be a very happy Brazilian, all those smileys. Einstein was sure right about that stupidity being permanent.

    For anyone reading (why would you), not NeoTrader, he got his answer but just kept doing the child trick of ignoring it. His assertion falls in to the popular new academic category of "not even wrong".

    He is only a Brazilian, their best universities are pretty low to meh grade. My girlfriend speaks Portuguese and attended University of Sao Paulo for a year post-grad which is ranked 120 in the world. Not bad 120 in 2016 but that is about it she says, a couple of also rans but way too much garbage 3rd level for a large nation.

    I've been to a lot of third world places so I learned, the ones with chips on their shoulders because of a poor education you can't fight, they beat you with their experience.

    Brazil is a great example of how not to manage educational meritocracy, not capitalism or socialism. The quality of a countries universities is connected to it's populace's general brain power one might assume at least in large part.

    Hmm... I happen to live in socialist countries most of the year. I never said I was a socialist or never showed signs of submitting my self to any tribe, religion, majority or minority. And I never said I believe in anything. However, you just said that I'm a socialist and I believe in something that has been proven again and again not to work.

    Let me tell you what I believe, dear Neo. Sincerely. I believe that you believe that I'm a socialist believing in something that has been proven wrong again and again. Why? Because you just said so and I believe you're not a liar. Yeah. That's what I believe. Logic. Call it my faith in humanity.

  4. That is writing on a Spanish install of windows where everything has a red underline in English.

    I fixed it but well spotted. I just use a waterpick now after bruising with Sensodyne. A great invention the cordless version.

    Edited, actually spelled 'Waterpik', I'm sure you would have spotted that. ;)

    :wtf:

    :D

    And despite all that bullshit, you still can't answer the questions I made and got your ass kicked through your own arguments twice. Not being able to answer, as usual, you answer with the usual personal bullshit: the usual resort of people who can't use logic to defend their position. Nothing knew... Keep it up!:D

  6. Again, I answered it. Correlation... come on.. you know how that one ends. You started the personal BS I recall. Now please respect the OPs threat.

    As a citizen of these two countries, I may be a bit idealistic about the whole idea of successful socialism.

    Of course socialistic does not mean pure socialist. Which does not work, as does not pure capitalist so.. why argue absolutes.

    Ayn Rand Fun Fact #3
    Personal hygiene wasn’t her strong suit. In fact, during the years of his mandated bi-weekly Rand-banging, Nathaniel Branden pleaded with his wife Barbara to discreetly ask Rand to bathe more frequently.

    Ayn Rand Fun Fact # 35
    Rand’s husband Frank was so quiet around the house that he often startled her while she worked. So she made him wear a bell.

    (Seriously, that woman was a cruel lady).

    Dear Neuroway, you said it yourself that you believe Communism is "the most moral of all systems". It wasn't me who said that. And anyone with the least amount of will to see things as they are, through logic, can see the short video I posted of Milton Friedman on the Immorality of Socialism and see why it is in fact the most IMMORAL of all systems. In a nutshell: because it is based on force.;)

    No, you didn't. Feel free to refer the post where you did. I'd be happy to answer it. But, since you didn't, obviously you'll come up with some lame excuse not to, which is what you've been doing all along and is shown by your continous evasion from my arguments, usually with some form of personal offense.:D(Which I never did towards you, despite your endless stream of personal offenses and remarks, like talking about my "alledged" age, using words like moron, etc,etc...:)
    I may think your ideas are bullshit, but that is not a personal attack, it is simply my take on your ideas, not yourself);)
    The fact that you cannot defend your ideas with logic is your fault, not mine.;)But I can see your frustration and the reason you keep doing the personal attack/remark thing.:)
    That's OK. Maybe someday your learn to argue in a civilized way and use logic to back your argument.. I sincerely doubt it, given the samples you already showed time and time again... But, truth be told, I don't give a shit. So, I'm done with you here.;)

  9. In POLITICS dear boy. Make a thread, stop dirtying up other people's. You posts get deleted for a reason, your breaking the law (..breaking the law, so much for the golden future I can't even start..breakin.. etc.)

    Every smiley of yours is an intentional offense :) Anyway, making fun of Rand is all just fruit of a poisoned tree. Rand = crazy psycho woman don't quote her as gospel and expect a serious response.

    Also when talking to a guy who lives in Medellin Colombia.. you kind of let yourself down implying superior knowledge out of the gate there regarding Pablo Escobar.
