Do you have ANY data at all on the subject at hand? Not opinions, data. Actual measurements?

Remind me again what the subject is at hand. Then offer some data of your own and let me see if that is relevant. I thought the topic was social utopia, and I don't really see how people passing a lot of money back and forth contributes to that, but no doubt you have some data that proves that it does.

In the OP, it is a given that there is a lot of wealth, with the premise that wealth does not create social utopia. So you can't use wealth as evidence of social utopia, within the context of the OP. What other data have you got?

The proposition you made and which I was attacking was that globalization helps the rich and hurts the poor. I want some data. There are lots of options for data on that. Which ones will you accept?

Go back and find the post where I said that, so I can see exactly what I said.

I don't care enough about you to help you with your failing memkory...ifr you don't know what you've proposed and refuse to utilize data to support your conclusions, ....well, I don't have the time or desire to continue the discussion (with you).

There are two kinds of people in the world: people who use data and do arithmetic with it, and fools.

I don't know what I've proposed that could possibly match with the interpretation that you seem to want to make of it. I went back and read my posts, and I have no idea what you are talking about.

Maybe some other poster will make a wild guess and suggest which of my posts you are referencing, since your argumentation methodology seems to be to simply fling misinterpretations and misconstructions out there, and then refuse to say where you got them.

Social Utopia? It's called the internet, where I can pick and choose what I want to look at.

The more pleasurable the Internet feels, the less pleasurable Real Life feels. Inevitable inverse relationship.
