if I didn't want to live in that type of environment, I would immigrate elsewhere. You interpreted it differently. You still didn't answer my question, and I will follow that example for your question.

Capitalism

Why do you live in a capitalist system?

Sea Chicken

8/13/19 5:32pm

Choice. There are such things as airplanes if immigration is desired.

Tell that to 31 million Venezuelans

Sea Chicken

8/13/19 5:57pm

Are you saying that there are no Venezuelans in the USA?

Division Bell

that doesn't even make sense

Sea Chicken

None of those 31 million can find a way to get into the USA?

Division Bell

You think that any Venezuelan can immigrate to the US if they choose to?

Curious. If you, division bell, was born in India, how would you immigrate

Let me ask my India-born niece.

Division Bell

8/13/19 7:30pm

Ok, how did she immigrate here?

carlstud

8/13/19 7:33pm

Written permission from her father, and a plane ticket.

So, obviously not one of the hundreds of millions of Indians who can’t afford

Wrong. Her father gave up his parental rights. He was too poor and a drug addict

Got it. So yes, one of the people who couldn’t afford a ticket (or food) and

Don't tell them that.

But, a blessing for slappy.

Preppy

Yup, he's not lucky all at.

Bert609

8/13/19 5:41pm

very synonymous I guess. What would you attribute to a blessing?

Preppy

8/13/19 5:52pm

Heheh. I was just being a dork. Slappy said "fortunate!" I said, "nope hard work!" You said "blessing!"

Bert609

Yes! They both worked extremely hard to get citizenship.

That wasn't hypothetical. You are one of the wealthiest people on earth.

Sea Chicken

Depends on how I became this wealthy, all would apply to various degrees

You should vote A or B depending on your belief structure
