None of my arguments were destroyed. I CORRECTLY pointed out that you and several others were using the term 'tax evasion' incorrectly. Something being illegal or not, especially in the context of claims that most corporations are doing it, is NOT pedantic.

You were the one who was objectively incorrect when you said:

So, nothing that disagrees with what I said? Got it.

Are you denying that the avergae IQs of african-american and hispanics (for whatever reason) are lower than that of whites and north-east asians?

And yes it was racist. Or at least you're so overfilled with prejudice that can't even find logic in our discussion.

I said "Are only american teenagers interested in booze an sex? Do you have evidence that an interest in booze and sex can explain poor educational achievement generally?"

To which you replied:

"And if to talk about the teens and booze: of course not only teens are interested in booze, but it's hard to educate a person who is not interested in education."

Which didn't answer my question at all.

I guess you forgot about those whites who live under the poverty rates, those rednecks who have the only love to their mama and their gun, those ignorant freaks who don't live in ghettos, but still think that the USA can have some geographical interest in the Middle East (perhaps they haven't seen a World map yet)

What on earth are you talking about

durr...redneck stereotypes hur hur hurr

For what it's worth, poor white kids go better than rich black kids on the SAT so, there's that. I'm sure you have a nice little narrative prepared to explain that away though, of course.

And if to talk about the teens and booze: of course not only teens are interested in booze, but it's hard to educate a person who is not interested in education.

Is english not your first language or do you simply have the worst reading comprehension in the world?

Maybe America really does have an education problem.

Response to: I need a word for Hitler posts. Posted September 5th, 2014 in Politics

The reason this is a thing is because of how the west have used Hitler and portrayed him, almost to the point of caricature, as the most evil person imaginable.

“We painted Hitler as a monster, a devil. And that’s why we could not move away from that portrayal after the war. We had mobilized the masses against the devil incarnate. And so we were forced to continue in this satanic scenario after the war. We could not possibly have explained to our people that the war had actually been only a preventative economic measure.” US Secretary of State James Baker in an interview with the German news magazine Der Spiegel in 1992

That's not particularly meaningful without controlling for race. Blacks and hispanics drag the US average down considerably.

Does that mean that nonetheless our politicians are trying to attract smart people from poorer countries, our country is still getting more and more stupid! I'm pretty sure that that is the consequence of the awful educational system we're having.

The number of low-IQ mexican immigrants entering the US gulfs the number of high-skilled mexicans entering the US, so its dumb to expect the average IQ to increase as a result of it.

First, a person needs to be really interested in getting knowledge to really get some. And we all know that it's really difficult to raise the interest of a teenager to something besides booze and sex.

Are only american teenagers itnerested in booze an sex? Do you have evidence that an interest in booze and sex can explain poor educational achievement generally?

And second, even if you have that interest you have to pay for everything! (Books, scholar programs, extra skills, high edu etc.) Which is hardly affordable for a large amount of people. Seems that someone who invented that system didn't want us to leave our castes. Cause a person has to be really genius to get a grant for higher education after a public school

America ranks fifth in the world for percentage of population with tertiary education, higher than the much lauded scandanavian social democracies. So I don't see what your point is here.

You heard it here first, folks!

Even if they didn't do so, it's not as if they wouldn't try to find ways to maximize their profits at the expenses of their workers and/or the American taxpayer.

Right, and in an environment where the government doesn't erect barriers to entry and doesn't engage in an assortment of cronyism to protect established/dominant firms, competition keeps this profit-maximizing behavior in check.

What PRECISELY is this based on?

Do companies not ever expand? Open new office/branches/stores? Do they not invest? Have you ever actually read an annual report of corporate financial statement before?

All it does is pad the profits or payouts to people who already have a ton of money.

Non-invested profits can be used for executive income or shareholder income.

In both cases, the money is taxed, and in the latter case, the recipients are not necessarily rich.

It's well known that tax dollars go back into the economy at an extremely higher rate than private dollars, especially high end private dollars.

"pretty well known" isn't going to cut it here.

And "going into the economy" isn't all equal. It takes many forms.

Rich people don't lock their money away in vaults and swim in it scrooge mcduck style. Most of their net wealth is in the form of investments, which is 'going into the economy'.

Government spending can get money into the economy in a number of ways. Welfare spending is obviously a big one. Regardless of how important you think it is for the government to provide financial support low income individuals/families, from a 'good for the economy' perspective this is the least productive kind of spending. The best kind is investment, which is what leads to economic growth.

Hmm, I wonder why you're so adamantly standing by Wilson despite all the flimsy evidence in his defense? I'm having such a terribly hard time thinking as to why that could be...

Why defend someone who was clearly acting in self defense against a violent piece of shit and who is now the subject of an hysterical witch-hunt at the hands of an angry, ignorant and violent mob?

Ooh, the elusive 'police sources.'

The police would deny this is a heartbeat if it were untrue.

So your evidence that the people who have the same exact version of events are lying is simply "because I said so." Okay. I will take your word for it, Person On The Internet.

They're either lying or disastrously wrong.

The key witnesses said that Brown was shot in the back when this is absolutely wrong. (It's basically impossible for them not be lying, and if they really were simply mistaken on such a simple issue then that just means that the rest of their testimony is entirely unreliable anyway.)

To still be clinging to the 'michael brown was executed for being black' story IS entirely hysterical though. These people don't know or care about what the facts or evidence say. It doesn't matter how much their narrative is debunked, a white person killed a black person and now they want blood, simple as that.
