Part one of CTL’s greatest hits.
My comments are in BOLD

“To take advantage of the poor and mentally unstable is outrageous. This should be made illegal; these people who make money off of it are slime and should be made an example of. If cock fighting, and dog fights are illegal, this should be too. Plus I think its illegal to have an unsanctioned fight. You’re right it’s already illegal to have an unsanctioned fight.
CTL:
“Ah paternalism at its best. We should all sue McDonald's for making us fat too, right? Exploit the poor. No one made them sign on the bottom line.” Because mentally unstable starving bums, are on the same level as fat rich white America. That doesn’t even make sense.
Can anyone tell me what “paternalism” has to do with this argument? Let’s see here…
( pa·ter·nal·ism: A policy or practice of treating or governing people in a fatherly manner, especially by providing for their needs without giving them rights or responsibilities.)
Well, we’re not providing for the poor…hmmmm, they have rights and responsibilities…. they’re not governed like children. What is it then? The argument was about the decency of people, “to take advantage of the poor and mentally unstable is outrageous”, that’s the key sentence. It’s not about they’re rights, they have the right to fight each other for money…It’s about if society should allow this. Just because I have the will to shoot CTL in the head, doesn’t mean I should. It’s a matter of common sense. It’s what separates us from the animals…we have evolved to be more than that.

CTL:
“Right, they can do anything for money - and they choose this.”
Are you actually positive they can do ANYTHING for money? Society has a way of keeping people at the bottom…it’s a natural equality. Doesn’t mean you lose respect for them.
CTL:
“How magnanimous of you to decide what is right or wrong for them. Any other changes you would like to make to the world while you are up, oh wise one?”
Personally, I don’t understand how you got that comment from this “Ok buddy, u need to realize that when u have no money, u will do anything for money, and these people are getting taking advantage of because they are helpless. It seems u only care about yourself, that is quite sad. Care about your fellow man. Might grow as a person” He didn’t quote what was right or wrong for bums, once again…you missed the point completely…its about you. Key word : “you”. Key sentence for referance “It seems u only care about yourself, that is quite sad. Care about your fellow man. Might grow as a person”.

Whether it be drug or alcohol addiction or some form of mental psychosis many homeless are not in the right state of mine. I have worked in plenty of soup kitchens to know about plus in a psychiatric hospital. I have seen these people and dealt with it. These people cant make coherent decisions. Its like blaming the a kid getting lured into a petophile's van because they were goin to be given candy. Just because they are paid does not mean they are not the victim.
CTL:
“Your analogy of children to an adult, who cannot consent to anything because they are minors is without merit.” Actuallly, people with mental disorders have closer to child-like minds than people who are precise and sharp like yourself. Therefore merit is there…look closer.
Touching that you have worked in soup kitchens. Then you should be aware these people have virtually nothing to offer the world. Yes, all they have to offer is fighting for change…that makes perfect sense. So why begrudge them one thing they have?
More to the point, when are you planning on making a value judgement that women who work in the sex industry are being exploited and therefore there should be no more porn or strip clubs. Actually, that less to the point, the point is taking advantage of people who can’t comprehend what’s going on, these people started crazy, or ended up crazy because of starvation and diseases.
Your paternalism is incredibly condescending. To you or to them? Why do you take offence to people caring for the weaker man?
CTL:
“Or does paternalism only enter the equation when you aren't personally enjoying whats on the DVD?”
How is a person watching a video, governing someone who is on a DVD you’re actually NOT enjoying? That comment was random and retarded…youre smarter that that…come on! You use the same big word in every comment! You ARE consistant…you only have one side to your arguement…you can only come from one angle and repeat it. You’ll never lose your argument, cause you’ll just blurt the same crap out again and again.

I was going to do all your comments, (I only could get through a page and a half of this crap) but this is fine for now, I have some work to do. Thank you for amusing us with your narrow minded commentary. We were starting to think that elitest way of thinking was something we evolved past. That you for being our “narrow mind guideline” for the last couple days. I’ve been waiting for you to start slamming some hateful slang…but you’re trying your best to look so smart.
