As everything is relative, shouldn't we take say 20% of the housing from single people hogging all that space to themselves, and redistribute it to the more deserving non-retarded couples.

Yes, but since these people might then mate, and have children and thus cuase more overcrowding in the future!!

Wow, there's tons of stuff we can redistribute: :idea:
Withhold food from the fat, give to the thin

I think my wife would be keen on this since she's trying to get me to lose weight.

One girlfriend from the lucky stud, give to the horney.

No, not now I'm married and can't get any benefit from it ! :-)

Or we could just let a few rich people have everything and not bother trying to have any kind of justice at all. That's the American Way, right?

[Fade]

KennyR, you always assume that anyone that is rich, got that way by stealing from the poor. That's the Socialist Way, isn't it?

One of these days, you will have more assets than you do today. What will you say then?

It's just a phase, KennyR will be a conservative when he's older. :-P

No, I assume that anyone who would pay £10,000 for a parking space behind Harrods got that way from stealing from the poor! And I would probably be right.

I'd still say anyone who'd pay for a £10,000 parking space behind Harrods is a high-society leech.

Uh, yeah, that's exactly what I said isn't it?!!

KennyR, don't you have multiple computers? Those without a computer might consider you greedy and probably stole those extra ones from the poor.

You only need one computer, so why haven't you redistributed all the others to the less fortunate?

If you wanna scale it down even further, surely a guy on the street with no blankets envies and considers greedy another homeless man with two blankets. I fail to see the relevance, however. Owning more than one computer is hardly extravagant. You can do that on minimum wage. And some people might need two machines.

Precisely how many of these tits absolutely requires a parking space for £100,000?

I'm sure you see the difference. If you don't, perhaps you need to get a little older... :-D

But it is all relative.
And you have just pointed it out by saying "Owning more than one computer is hardly extravagant."

To say such, only means, you or Kenny can afford mutiple computers, and you don't think it is extravagant to do so.

My point is, don't assume a rich person is a thief, only because he is rich, because he is only rich relative to a poorer person!

If a computer cost half a year of the average working man's wage, then I would expect them to.

Did you read the rest of my post? At risk of sounding like a parrot:

Owning more than one computer can be justified easily. What's more, I could afford to own more than one computer on minimum wage.

There's a breadline, and anyone who spends two years breadline money on a sodding parking space is too far over it! They're rich, disgustingly rich, whichever way you look at it.

(Edit: Sorry that's twenty years breadline money! Pardon my miscalculation.)

my having several computers is like me having several oil brushes and a set of oil paints: they are tools and you need several different kinds to make your art. there is nothing "extravagant" about that!

some dickhead being able to afford ONE parking space that is unreasonably expensive is the height of utter stupidity.

What logic!
Someone being able to afford a high priced item, makes them a dickhead.

Guess what that makes everyone who ever chose an A4000 over an A1200, or is waiting around to buy the new A1 when (if ever) OS4 is released?

Everyone knows you can buy a more powerfull computer at 1/3 the price of an A1.

I would also point out that all it takes to produce a piece of art is a piece of paper, some charcoal and talent. All the rest, the high priced oils, the canvas, the easel, brushes, etc. etc. is just showing off your opulence, and might be considered "the height of utter stupidity."

See, it is all relative. But maybe that is something a liberal can't understand. :-P

You and I both know that's not what cecilia meant, it's the fact that this person actually goes ahead and pays for the parking space that makes them stupid.

See above. There's nothing stupid about wanting a more powerful computer. It has some practical use, other than flaunting your money for attention.

...everyone knows you can park at ASDA for free ;-)

Conservatives are stupid. Sorry, just thought I'd reciprocate your insult. Now I'd like to further insinuate that you are stupid. Fade is stupid. Mmmm, that feels good! :-)

I think what Fade is saying is it doesn't matter to the man with nothing how "reasonable" the things you have are. If he doesn't have them himself, you are a fat cat.

Look at it this way, say you are starving, and there are two men standing next to you, one is talking about his two  multimillion dollar corporations, while the other one is talking about his cottage he bought in the mountains. That cottage is certainly a "reasonable" thing for this man to have, but all you can think is "I'm starving, and this fat cat has two homes!", rather than how reasonable one mans assets are and how unreasonable the other ones are.

No matter how little you have, someone else has less. No matter how reasonable the things you have are, someone else looks upon you as a glutton. We only become part of this cycle of endless envy if we contribute to it ourselves.

"You and I both know that's not what cecilia meant, it's the fact that this person actually goes ahead and pays for the parking space that makes them stupid."

Why?

What if you owned it? Would it be stupid for you to sell it?
