17 Jun 05 - 06:42 PM (#1503282) Subject: RE: BS: I want to be a War Profiteer! From: PoppaGator Absolutely go for it; you will be much more well-respected by the average unthinking citizen than you are now in your current incarnation as a weak-willed sob-sister bleeding heart. You won't be expected to pay taxes, either ~ your fellow fat cats know how to make sure there are always enough loopholes in the tax code for themselves and their fellow exploiters. There are probably ways a person can get rich while making a positive contribution to the human race, but the most of the best proven methods for aggrandizing oneself involve victimizing as many of your fellow humans as you possibly can. Might as well go all the way, take things to their logical conclusion, and make your profits by killing and maiming whoever stands in your way ~ it's a time-honored tradition! |

From: Amos Peter: I have just left the Mil-Ind Complex after ten long years in SW systems engineering; the air is much fresher outside. Take a pay cut and go to work for someone who builds schooners or lobster traps; believe me, you will be much the happier for it!! I know I am. A |

I thought you previously worked for a company like Titan or Halliburton. Sounds like your old job didn't quite jive with your personal convictions. Glad to know that someone actually stives for right livelihood. I think its pretty odd politics when war profiteers and Christians both stand behind a guy like Bush. I can understand that war profiteers have no morals but I don't understand how Christians for Bush can claim the moral high ground. It always feels good to listen to your heart. Anyway, good luck to you. |

From: GUEST,Uncle DaveO Poppagator commented: there are always enough loopholes in the tax code for themselves and their fellow exploiters. A "loophole" in the tax code is sometimes seen as a mistake, a glitch, a "bug" in the program, as it were, of which some people take illegitimate advantage. But I am reminded to the programmer's saying, "That ain't a bug, that's a feature!" Dave Oesterreich |

20 Jun 05 - 07:26 PM (#1505539) Subject: RE: BS: I want to be a War Profiteer! From: Troll You can do pretty well right now selling anti-Bush T-shirts and bumper stickers. Dunno whether you could rightly call that war profiteering or not. But it's a volatile market and you have to be able to spot the next craze ahead of the pack. Right now, you can't miss with Bush but how long will it last? Ask the folks who put everything into John Kerry winning. Ya gotta stay ahead of the curve. Good luck. troll |
