Yale student op-ed: Charity is not enough … your money must be TAKEN from you
Headline of the Day ^ | December 5, 2017 | T.A. Reid

‘We have an obligation to redistribute’

The holiday season is upon us, and leave it to an Ivy Leaguer to play the role of the proverbial stick in the mud.

Writing in the Yale Daily News, guest columnist Xuan (who uses the pronouns “they” and “them”) invokes the United States’ “legacy of colonialism, exploitation, slavery and genocide” to argue that Americans’ personal charity isn’t “quite enough” nor “all of morality.”

They offer examples of a shady used car salesman and a sketchy entrepreneur who, after screwing over people in the past attempt to make good later in life through charitable giving.

“This would be academic if we were nothing like these ‘protagonists’ — individuals who have benefited from either violence, deception or exploitation,” Xuan writes. “Yet, I [shouldn’t that be “we” if one uses the pronoun “they”?] think a little bit of reflection suggests that many of our lives are closer to theirs than we might like to think.”

“I wonder if Mr. Xuan is there on his own (or his family’s) money or some sort of scholarship spigot.”

It’s history. Let’s put an end to exploitation.

Which part? The use of the verbiage of insanity “...who uses the pronouns “they” and “them”...” or the idea that we still, some how/where, have 5th/13th A. Rights protected by our servant, govt. (got a W-2 and property tax form to show otherwise)??

I could save his parents a lot money by kicking his @ss up over his appetite.

The education he needs and deserves.

"they", pffftt, people with multiple personality disorder were once committed & treated, so as not to cause harm to themselves or others...

I agree—Yale should be forced to send their entire endowment—to me—now!

Sometimes I wonder if these morons aren't that deranged...but rather looking for a "look-at-me" moment. 15 minutes of "fame."

Then again...

It’s MY pocket, it’s MY wallet.
Keep your filthy grabbing, grubby fingers off MY person and MY property.
If you can’t do that, YES, I WILL KILL YOU!

EB-5 baby perhaps?

Daddy bought himself visas and baby’s going to Yale and now baby is mad at daddy?

That’s how the Czar’s went down.

"Do you really want to kill someone just because they are picking your pocket?"

You're quite right. Simply putting a bullet in his forehead is much too quick. Start with one in each kneecap, and two in his pelvis.

Wait until he's been in the hospital for a few days before you go back and shoot him in about the C5 vertebra...

They will spend the rest of their miserable life with a colostomy bag, in a powered wheelchair...

I've worked too hard for my money.

"Do you really want to kill someone just because they are picking your pocket?"

Would really hang someone because he stole your horse, rustled your cattle, take all your stores in the middle of winter, burned your barn and all crops...???

There are times when life is....fragile. What you steal from a man, to you, may seem insignificant.. But to him it was a a matter of life and death...

Would I kill someone for what's in my pocket..? Damn right I would..!! I didn't place any value on his life... He did.!! When decided his life was only worth what he could get out of my pocket, out of my house or barn....

When you TAKE things that don't belong to you, you put others at risk and sometimes, just sometimes, justice will find you....

IF I GIVE it voluntarily, that is CHARITY

IF YOU TAKE it from me, that is THEFT: embezzlement, or burglary, or robbery.

IF YOUR TAX ME involuntarily, that is TAXATION without representation.

Yale is wasting it’s efforts on you, young man. Go get a job driving for Waste Management. At least you will be somewhat productive.
