Oh dumbfuck, did you not read "And I mean that in a personal sense, talking directly about you"?
Are you really that fucking stupid that you don't understand that I was talking about YOU, emo samurai, being forced to always be around YOUR, emo samurai's, worst enemy?
Do you not understand English, you racist fucking moron? Yeah, you're a racist, you projecting fucktard.

No it isn't; it's actually quite difficult.
Unless, of course, you're a whining crybaby. Then it's easy to make that assumption. Why? Because whining crybabies confuse no-nonsense with hate.

What the fuck does this even mean? And how the fuck did it have anything to do with what I put down? And if it did mean something, which is doubtful, how the fuck could it possibly be linked to bankers discriminating against black people?

And butthurt whining crybabies confuse verbal abuse with no-nonsense.
See how it works? You'll never win. Best to quit while you're behind.

It means, dumbfuck, that if you don't want government officials telling you that you must associate with someone you don't like you should not support government officials telling a business whom to serve. It's called freedom of association and freedom of contract.
Don't be a fucking hypocrite.

OHHHHHH so you did mean that black people were the banker's worst enemy. NOW I get it.
Jesus fucking Christ.
In any setting that values freedom, freedoms are going to come into conflict. Presence of government or not, morally, you have to compare the relative importance of different freedoms. Is it more important that the banker can keep black people out of a building he doesn't own, or is it more important that a hard-working black person gets to compete in the free market?
Your call, Knob.

Jason's right though, Knight isn't racist. He just hates anyone who disagrees with him. He doesn't discriminate.

Jim Rogers is absolutely right. There is definitely criminal conduct taking place that is leading to this crisis.

What the government's been practicing is not real capitalism. I'm perfectly okay with real capitalism, but it's not something that we've been allowed to work with.

Rogers likes investment in China.
Whats strange about this though is that China is a communist country, which is supposedly exactly what we are trying to avoid and what Rogers says he detests, "socialism". They are applying free market principles, but they are still definitely a much more socialist country than the U.S. is.
Why are they doing so damn well economically then? If they're not, why is Rogers, a guru of capitalism, gearing up to invest a bunch of money in their market?
http://money.cnn.com/2008/01/30/news/international/okeefe_rogers.fortune/index.htm
I'm having trouble reconciling his espousing of capitalism as the answer with his investment in a socialist country. I'd definitely like the input of someone more versed in economics as to why this is the case.

It's because in many regards the Chinese system is more capitalist then the American and European ones.
They're central bank also isn't as inflationary.

Given that China is becoming more free market than the USA, and given that people generally regard the USA as capitalist and China as communist, is it possible we may be witnessing the first stage of a definition inversion such as the one that took place when liberal went from being synonymous with libertarian and went to being synonymous with progressive/socialist?

So there is such a thing as "market socialism"?
