I suck at multi-quote, but I WAS asking him. As to your second point why in the hell would you think it would rapidly diminish? Do you think the national debt will rapidly diminish if something doesn’t change because it has been rising rapdily? Why would you think it would? Are you not aware of the data on income inequality over the last 30 some odd years? How could you come to the conclusion it will magically change or that it is just as likely to change? That’s being irrational.

Okay, you were asking him. I didn’t say I THOUGHT it would rapidly diminsish, I asked based on your line of reasoning, if it’s possible.
This is why we have an issue, I’m not being irrational because I never took a stance either way. I asked a series of question. You, like with Beans, have infered things about me that may or may not be true. I don’t believe the debt nor the wage gap will just decrease, I was simply asking a question based on your line of reasoning.
That’s fine. I never said it wasn’t worth discussing.
I was trying to figure out his stance. Your entire absolutely worthless post was aimed at putting down my questioning and thinking towards beans. Which apparently HE had no problem with as he didn’t bring it up.
You don’t HAVE to follow the order, but where I come from if you’re going to interject in a conversation it SHOULD probably be with something of value. You jumped in essentially attacking me based on a discussion I was attempting to have with beans to learn where he’s coming from and to help hammer home WHAT I THINK about the subject.
You want to talk about integrity as if I did something wrong in the process. I didn’t do anything of the sort. Nor did beans.
I guess where I come from we call it a major annoyance when someone interrupts two people attempting to talk without adding anything of value to what those two are talking about.
I guess that’s not always the case. I have no idea what your purpose was with the post.

He’s upset because I interrupted his accusing, I mean, e-conversation, if that’s even possible.

Someone needs to relax. I didn’t interrupt you because this is the internet. You could of just ignored the post. It’s not like I walked in between the two of you and start shouting. Get a grip. Every quesiton I asked had value. Like usual you just ignored it because it didn’t fit into your current dialogue.
You attacked Beans first. You might not see it that way, but that’s how it came across. So I defend him by, ASKING QUESTIONS, because I think he’s a stand up guy. Instead of just answering the questions you got pissy. If you don’t like that well fuck you.
Dude you are a no name no face avatar on a fitness websites political forum. The fact that you think I’m an annoyance matters about as much to me as what time the President took a shit today. Just to be clear that would be zero.
[/quote]
This is attacking someone:
If I attacked beans then why in the fuck did he not say something? God you’re annoying. It’s not how it came across as anyone that fucking mattered in this thread except for you, a guy who literally began the thread by saying he would ignore the fucking article OP wanted to discuss and then brought up something else. You had NO DESIRE to change anything about the way you already felt on this thread.
See unlike you, I’m not sure how I feel about everything. I enjoy learning about new things and I think my feelings on things should change based on new information. I was attempting to get a dialogue started with how beans felt. You jumped in because you thought I was attacking him which is a convenient excuse for you wanting to be a whiny bitch and act like you’re coming to someone’s defense merely because you don’t like me.
So when I DIDN’T ATTACK SOMEONE, you came to his defense, then you want to talk big and bad about how you don’t give a shit about me. Well for someone you don’t give a shit about you sure did the following:
Interjected yourself into something by adding nothing of value to the conversation. You did this because you felt a poster who didn’t need defended because he wasn’t attacked did. NO ONE ELSE has brought up me attacking him, and he responded with a huge post. So if he was offended (which nothing was offensive in my post towards him) he sure responded in a weird way. You think beans is a 10 year old girl?
Continued to post about it multiple times because I called you out for derailing the thread.
Acted like I didn’t matter to you in a weird sense, mainly by posting numerous times about me. I’d hate to see how you treat people that do matter to you.
Yeah, you’re really important because you put up an avatar. Now I know what the dumbass who won’t read an article and starts talking about 73 inch TV’s looks like! What a stupid reason to criticize me.
Thank you for ruining the thread. That’s what attacking someone looks like just so you know. You might save it the next time you want to play Judge Judy where you’re not wanted. And please let beans be the judge of whether or not he needs defended. Nowhere did my post attack him in the least bit. All I was doing was attempting to figure out what he felt on certain things. You’re in the wrong, you know it, you won’t admit it, so you’ll play on.
Someone needs to take a chill pill. T-Nation, Good Times, Good Times. Not calling anyone out, because I have gotten my panties in a wad a time or two on this site.

Maybe Bean didn’t say anything because he’s a classy guy. I don’t pretend to know everything he has to say. That’s why I ask questions.
Oh I don’t matter
You should learn to read. I answer the OPs question with my opinion. I didn’t read the article because I’m sure it was crap. The same crap I’ve read and heard 100 times about how aweful America is.
You obviously don’t know anything about me. I ask more questions on these forums than probably everyone else.
You might enjoy learning new things, but you haven’t diplayed that here. Instead you were pushing YOUR view, and I pushed back.
Don’t like you, I don’t even know you. Do you honestly think I jumped in here because I don’t like you?? Get a grip dude, you are just a name, a fake name, on a website to me.
I asked 3 questions addressed to you. That’s all I did.
These boards are for discussion. They woudl be aweful boring if no one interjected, wouldn’t they?
I asked 3 questions. THAT WAS ALL I DID. That has no value to you?
No one else brought it up, probably because I brought it up right after it happened and that was earlier today.
I never said anything about him being offended.
He responsed with a huge post AFTER we went back and forth for several posts. There was no need for him to say anything about. I already did it for him.
HAHAHA, yes I think Beans is a 10 year old girl, cute tactic there.
How did I derail the thread?
Do you care about every person you respond to? I think you’re a little off guy.
Yup, hide behind your faceless avatar and insult me, That’s aweful ballsy of you. Again please learn to read. I mentioned 73" TVs as part of my point. A point you obviously didn’t get.

Oh God, fuck off dude. No one ruined the thread. I even had a CONVERSATION, without all this nonsense with the OP during your bitch fit. Go back and check it out.
Where I’m not wanted, sorry I missted that memo.
Again my first post to you was 3 questions:
“How in the world did you reach the above conclusion based on Bean’s statement? Why do you always have to take it to the EXTREME?”
“Have you taken the time to even ask what Beans stance is on bank bailouts? I’m pretty sure he’s spoken out against them in the past.”
“How did you come to the conclusion Beans thinks this is a GOOD thing?”
and somehow that’s attacking you. You are a whinny little bitch. I’m in the wrong? I saw your post as an attack on another person and you swear it was just question. I guess I’m just supposed to take the word of faceless avatar at his word. Assuming you are a man off course. Well a boy, a man wouldn’t cry nearly as much as you do.
"Just wanted peoples thoughts on this, especially americans. Is it really as bad as this article makes it seem? That people are drowning in debt and basically working slave labor.
A minimum wage of 7.25 while certain CEOs rakes in 11k an hour seems extreme.
Is there social mobility left in the US for the poor and lower middle class?"
My response:
“I’m not even going to click the link. The bottom line is, many Americans are in debt because they CHOOSE to be in debt. No one makes us buy 73” TV’s on credit, we’re just dumb enough to do it.
As far as a CEO making 11K an hour, well they are responsible for the entire company where as the guy making $7.25 an hour has to empty the trash at night or flip a burger. I’d say one takes a bit more experience, skill, education, etc…than the other. "
-where did I bring up something else, please point that out to me. I touched on debt, yup in the OP. I touched on CEO wages, yup in the OP. I missed slave labor, which is crap and social mobility, which is also crap. Sorry OP for not answering ALL of you questions as is REQUIRED by PWI lord H Factor.
What are you guys talking about? I want in.[/quote]
No, please do not interject, this is a provate conversation on the internet. It’s also against H Factor’s PWI rules book. So for your sake I wouldn’t. He might call you names ;(

Make sure to get in a couple of sets of curls in the squat rack. Milk and Squats.
Jesus Christ, for a dude who doesn’t care about a faceless avatar man (which seriously, the most bizarre thing I’ve ever heard, you’re obsession with the fact that I haven’t put a goddamn picture up on an anonymous forum) it sure seems that’s all you can post about.
Fuck beans didn’t even goddamn notice you stupid prick. So hear you come rolling into defend beans like the valiant internet warrior trying to save him from this faceless avatar guy who WAS FUCKING ASKING HIM QUESTIONS.
You asked three questions all centered around my questions towards another poster. You’re even asking beans (who shockingly doesn’t give a shit, just like he didn’t give a shit to my original line of questioning because he’s not dumb enough to think I’m attacking HIM) if he thinks you were right.
Dude seriously you need to get over it. You’ve posted like 30 times in response to your original fuckup.
You weren’t asking me questions so don’t even try to play that game. You were pissed off because you don’t like me for some reason (is it the no avatar thing, you keep bringing that up?)
Which I don’t give a shit. But don’t fuck up (which you did with your first reply), get called out for fucking the thread up, and then try to pretend something is wrong with me. The problem with this thread started with you thinking beans needed defending from an attack that didn’t happen.
So kindly shut the fuck up and stop the obsession with the fact that I haven’t put a goddamn small picture in a square. Shit I have like 600 posts in over ten years, I think it’s pretty clear I haven’t put a lot of thought into making sure I get my picture on here right for you to ogle at.
Here’s a pro tip: If you want to say you don’t care about someone or something (mainly me) you probably shouldn’t respond tons of times over and over again to that person. It’s really hard for you to pull off “I don’t give a shit” when you keep posting over and over again like an attention starved mess.
This deep in tax season, I scan posts and comment on relevant stuff to my interests.
You guys been talking about me this whole time?
lol[/quote]
Not really, just calling each other names. We did miss you though. Gotta love tax season.
[/quote]
FACELESS AVATAR GUY ALERT! Sound the horns. Bring everyone in. WHAT DO WE KNOW OF THIS FACELESS MAN!!!
(Ironic considering beans is also faceless, but has found the time to put a picture in). In fact, only two people in this entire thread have a picture of their face as an avatar. And yet he isn’t calling out you guys.

I believe that USMC is a CPA as well…tax season is a bitch.
But seriously, I have never seen anybody get so riled up over somebody posting an answer to their question to somebody else. Ease up a little there H.
I mean I have been here over 12 years, is that a rule I was unaware of?[/quote]
Well you are ugly to. I can not believe you are personally attacking H like that.
Now with that off my chest, I used to work for PriceWaterhouseCoopers, so I know what tax time is like. I love that someone does my taxes these days. Allows me to concentrate of the finer things in life. Milk and Squats.

you only have 600 posts so you are a baby. I only have 2-3000 so I am a toddler, but have started to gain cred here in the interwebz. You will get there young padawain.
I am so bored today at work. I have a long night ahead of me.

I mentioned you don’t have an avatar for a number of reasons that I suppose I need to explain to you. First of all when you throw insults around, as you have, while hiding behind a username, that to me is cowardly. Secondly, it limits your creditability. As you said you only have a few posts so there’s not much to go on. Finally, because you lack credibility I through your history and you lack any photos or videos I assume you are a troll. Do you even lift or contribute to the other forums? My guess is no.
Once again your reading comprehension is lacking. Beans , pretty clearly, said he was busy with tax season and thus only skims post. He could very easily have just missed your obvious insinuations towards him. I, knowing he is a tax accountant, know he’s busy (probably 55-65 hours a week) defended him. What’s funny is it wasn’t even in a mean spirited way, but you immediately got butt hurt and YOU derailed the thread. No me. I asked you 3 questions you never answered.
So asking for clarification on your position based off you response to another poster is a no no. Got it…
Exaggerate much?
There was no fuck up on part, I point that out to you a few posts ago. I gave my thoughts on debt and CEO pay, exactly what the OP wanted.
Again, I don’t even know you. I don;t even know what you look like (is that better I didn’t bring up your lack of a picture this time).
No, I believe in the 1st amendment so I think I’ll stay, thanks for the thought though.

Oh, so responding to someone on a discussion forum is frowned upon? Again, your reading comprehension is lacking. I believe I said I don’t care about your insults, as in, since I don’t know you they aren’t going to hurt my feelings at all.
