He clearly was broken in his brain somewhere, the 9/11 terrorists were almost all educated as well, it's a myth that terrorists largely come from the underclass. OBL and KSM are better examples of who makes up terrorists than the schlup on the street.

Almost always a myth. Some of them are, but most of them are as educated as most of us. The problem is the schools push jihad and aim it at the US. Years of indoctrination are not lost, and it begins in the schools.

The reality is in the Koran there is only one guaranteed way to paradise, many of these people take it regardless of their education.

I'll let you in on a secret....I don't waste time reading childish tantrum threads by proudly ignorant and stubborn jokers who got their asses kicked by me in an honest debate. But hey, if it helps you sleep at night....go for it.


Grow a pair, chuckles....either honestly debate the article I linked here or just continue to bray like an ass. Your choice.

Sorry Top, but Damo is right on this point. If you check into the information provided on all the suicide bombers to date, you'll note that they are "educated" men in the pure academic sense.

It's similiar to the old saying, "there's books smarts, and then there's street smarts". Education and religious belief are not an accurate indicator of each other.

Joe Stack is on par with every other terrorist bomber who essentially was NOT mortally threatened by the system/people they irrationally hated so much.

Actually, I kept my rents below market. That's why my buildings were fully occupied and the value of rental property is determined by the revenue it brings, not just the value of the actual structure.

And here you are ignoring the renters that were forced to move and spend more of their income; all because you were being greedy.

The building I purchased, the one I sold for 3 times the price, was held by the previous owner for 10 years and they sold it for slightly less than what they originally paid.

As I mentioned the area was depressed.

So, one person buys a building and when they sell it after 10 years they get less than what they paid. Another person (me) buys the building and after 5 years sells it for 3 times what I paid. Whether you call it luck or the will of the Gods the point is it had absolutely nothing to do with hard work.

It is still not luck. You must have, at some point, done something to earn the money with which you financed the purchase. I really doubt you fell ass backwards into all of it.

You can tell me whatever story you like. It proves nothing little to me since I can't verify it anyway. I have worked for numerous small companies and closely with several entrepreneurs. All of them were hard workers.

Not greedy. Old and tired from being a landlord. Remember, "we" worked harder, sacrificed more, scrimped and saved, did without......you know the typical story. :)

I'm sure they were hard workers. And, yes, there were times when I didn't feel like going to see why a door bell didn't work or why a breaker kept tripping but my point is if I did that job for someone else I wouldn't have made anywhere near the amount of money I made when I sold the buildings.

My peeve is the "little businessman" is made out to be some extraordinary worker when the income is not proportional to the work they do. They're looked upon as one may look upon a person who volunteers or really sacrifices for someone.

Put another way most didn't work as hard or sacrifice to the degree it's made out to have been which means those who don't "make it" are not as lazy as they are made out to be.

It's the general public's aggrandizing of them and their inflated self-importance that I take issue with. Not all, but many.

Let's be fair here. How many people do you know don't think they work harder than most?

Noooooo. I was old and tired. What do you suggest I should have done?

At least I don't go around saying how hard I worked and everyone else is lazy.

Well; first off, you shouldn't have been such a cold and heartless bastard.

And second, how ironic.

And you would not have been risking your capital. No one is going to risk their capital if they can make the same amount working for someone who assumes all the risk. Why would they?
