You clearly don't understand my definition of winner and I know plenty about Monsanto.

Get back to me when you can answer my question and not just bitch and moan.

I've destroyed everything you've written. You even agree with me, and my examples. The comfort and success you enjoy couldn't exist without millions worldwide being in misery. It's easy to say that happiness is a state of mind, or that wealth isn't a gauge of who is a true winner, when you're not the one in the sweatshop.

You agree that our society needs people forced into wage slavery so that people like you can exist above it. And yet you think telling someone to grab their bootstraps (which were made by kids in China, btw) when the whole basis and stability of our economy is hedged on the fact that millions literally can't rise above poverty or else **** can't funcion, is bizarre.

The first part of dealing with a problem is to recognize that there is one. Whether I have an alternative or not is irrelevent.

But instead of you halfheatedly trying to wave away all of those pesky parts of my posts where I disproved your weird bootstrap fallacy because "wah, but you didn't answer some vague query I half posited, therefore nah to everything", how about we let the audience decide?
