    Or how corrupt you are. Combine smarts with corruption and you'll likely be head of a transnational bank or hedge fund.

      I was just funming with y'all. I really believe success comes from selling your soul to the Devil.

        To which I should add that I doubt any of y'all here at TWeb are big enough successes to have needed to sell your soul to the Devil. But any little bit helps.

            And people are poor because they deserve it.

            Hey, look at that, we can all make generalizations about others and pretend they are okay and therefore use them to justify hatred about entire groups of people.

              Hey, Adam needs to come up with some excuse to justify his bigotry and hatred.

                Then how do you explain Hillary's success? She has no soul...

                    Thus God must love me. He's as cynical about human beings as I am.

                      We all are sinners (including the rich), but there's a difference between saying we are all sinners and saying an entire group of people are somehow evil and got to where they are by making deals with the devil.

                        That's the most sensible thing you've ever said.

                            You nailed me on that one, I have to admit. (That I don't read her posts much.)

                              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
