"What is greed? Of course none of us are greedy. It's only the other fellow who's greedy. The world runs on individuals pursuing their separate interests. The great achievements of civilization have not come from government bureaus. Einstein didn't construct his theory under order from a bureaucrat. Henry Ford didn't revolutionize the automobile industry that way. In the only cases in which the masses have escaped from the kind of grinding poverty you're talking about, the only cases in recorded history are where they have had capitalism and largely free trade. If you want to know where the masses are worst off, it's exactly in the kinds of societies that depart from that. So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear that there is no alternative way, so far discovered, of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by a free enterprise system." - Milton Friedman.

I said my piece, prejudice in this country is not ancient history, so affirmative action will continue.

This is the same fallacy as "equal pay". If the work was equivalent, a company could be super profitable by hiring only blacks. This hasn't happened because the premise is false.
Texxxass/blh111, you were banned and banned justifiably. Re-registering and posting under a new username is against the board rules. You're banned and will stay banned.
Waaaaaaait a minute. That was BLH? Seriously?
MM with his tech wizardry confounds me! One day you're going to have to explain to me (a total tech idiot) how you do that MM.
Btw- you're sorry arse never got back to me about your aggy nephew.
I'd love to hear more stories about what all you and Chris did, lol. He ended up graduating from Nebraska (gave up football) and now lives in Dallas. He has a beautiful wife and two young children.
blh was banned for threatening violence on people numerous times, and he re-registered a new username after he was banned, which is not allowed. He is no longer welcome to post here. It has nothing to do with speaking his mind in this thread.
He threatened physical violence??? I just give people my home address----- if they feel froggy one day, they got my digits.
Why you think I've been referring to him as BLH in several threads recently. Wasn't hard to figure out. Was posting as Texastwill before this latest one. He's from Dallas as he stated previously cdwillfromdatx may be a friend
Would not give my home address to Texxxass, dude is not stable. He could make the nightly news for all the wrong reasons some day.
