Why do you live in a capitalist system?

Sea Chicken

8/13/19 5:49pm

Sea Chicken

8/13/19 5:57pm

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

8/13/19 6:42pm

that doesn't even make sense

Sea Chicken

8/13/19 6:44pm

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

8/13/19 6:52pm

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

My post was noting that *I* choose to live in a capitalistic society, and that

Let me ask my India-born niece.

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

Jay Rick

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

8/14/19 5:48pm

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

except that the poor people in America are among the wealthiest in the world

Sea Chicken

Don't tell them that.

It's true

My parents immigrating to the USA. So fortunate.

or their hard work.

8/13/19 5:37pm

But, a blessing for slappy.

Preppy

8/13/19 5:40pm

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

8/13/19 5:58pm

Yes! They both worked extremely hard to get citizenship.

slappy

All of the above.

Only means you’re ripe to get called to be a MP or GA.. pass

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

Sea Chicken

8/13/19 6:57pm

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

Pretorian

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

Sea Chicken

Ok, then it goes like this:

Pretorian

8/14/19 5:52am

You should vote A or B depending on your belief structure
