$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('paimei01', 'S')o you want to divide the world into "parasites" and "useful members" ?
Are they "useful" or "parasites" ? Are they "lazy" maybe ? Looks like they should just die, who cares. What a world we live in, if economically you are not needed, you can die. You are worth no money, just die.
Then I can show you some workers, you will say they are "useful and productive" ? Sure they are. What they produce is in the garbage in 6 months, and for our system that is a good thing. If that does not happen then the wheels stop, and people become "worthless" as measured by the system.
Either you misunderstand the argument, or you're deliberately distorting it. When I refer to 'parasites', I am speaking of those who are
capable of being productive contributors to their community, but that willfully
refuse to do so, preferring instead to leech off of the productivity of others. And I am speaking in the strictly Darwinian survivalist sense, not in the sense of 'useful and productive to a capitalist system'. People who are largely
denied the
opportunity to be contributors through external circumstance, such as the Haitians you hold up as an example, do not fall into that category.
