Your bias and veracity is clearly evident in your post. Despite my making no bones about my wealth, always making clear in the over ten years on this board, and on this thread, that I am far from rich, often struggle to meet the bills and have never been involved in investing or any money making endeavors. I wish I had but pursuing wealth was never my thing. Yet you term me as "the one who is placing a higher value on wealth than other measures".
And though I made crystal clear that I am not a fan of either Lloyd or DLD I am now "holding up drug abusers and charlatans as people Americans should revere".
How is it that DLB misrepresents her achievements? What evidence do you have that Bostin is a drug dealer? There is someone on this board that is friends with his father and knows a bit more about Bostin irl than you do. And the fact is he has built a very successful business doing what he loves. As does DLB.
I defend successful people that are bashed by those, such as you, who will never reach their level of success. So you dismiss it. It's not easy getting rich and richer. Look how you've failed. There is nothing that Trump can decorate his penthouse with that people like you would criticize and attempt to diminish.
Like I said, we use to applaud success and achievement, now due to being brainwashed by class envy people like you resent other's achievements and are jealous of it and because they will never have it they simply denigrate it and try to diminish it's value and importance. You can deny it all you want but it is the truth. You're a nobody, wish you were a somebody, and because you will never be you simply try to convince yourself and others that it doesn't matter.
Explains the "10 pints".
I can't help but think these personal attacks are representative of some deeper issue within you. It appears the irony of your argument is lost on you. You accuse me of bashing others for having wealth, and for being jealous of their success, without knowing them. When, at the same time you are bashing me for being a "failure" and a "nobody" without knowing the slightest bit about my situation.
If i were financially successful, to a level that you deem fit, would my worldview suddenly become valid? Would my opinion hold more weight with you? Would you "defend" me because of my success?
Given your allusion to a period of tribulation in your life, I would have hoped for a more encompassing worldview. However, it appears that your historical lack of financial stability has, understandably, led you to value this above other measures of success. Fortunately for me, I have no such hang ups, as my past is resplendent with all the trimmings of a privileged upbringing.
The difference in our positions is that: I can understand why you hold yours, and I do not slide into personal attacks on you because of it.
Rather than spin our wheels, around the same positions, I will respectfully bow out at this juncture.
