Good old Warren.
Back in school, we used to call him Sally.
He’s living proof that senile people can still move their lips.

Gonna buy me a long white robe
Yes Lord to help me home
I’m gonna buy me a long white robe
Yes Lord to get me home
And when I get my heavenly gown
And I lay my burden down
I’m gonna get me a long white robe
To get me home
I’m gonna buy me two golden slippers
Yes Lord to walk me home
I’m gonna buy me two golden slippers
Yes Lord to walk me home
And when I get my slippers of gold
Then the Lord will have my soul
I’m gonna get me two golden slippers
To get me home

Beat me to it. Buffett is just another condescending elitist ass.

That doesn’t sound like he used to sound. And, there was a time when he used every occasion to get a plug in for Coca Cola.

How very Fabian of him.
You must all know half a dozen people at least who are no use in this world, who are more trouble than they are worth. Just put them there and say Sir, or Madam, now will you be kind enough to justify your existence? If you can’t justify your existence, if you’re not pulling your weight in the social boat, if you’re not producing as much as you consume or perhaps a little more, then, clearly, we cannot use the organizations of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive, because your life does not benefit us and it can’t be of very much use to yourself.
-George Bernard Shaw, Fabian socialist

They're perfectly decent citizens. We'll send them off to Afghanistan, but they are not going to command a big price." Note to Warren Buffet: You do know that the U.S. Military is HIGHLY SELECTIVE of who they recruit now, correct? There are NO DUMMIES in our Military. They truly are America's best and brightest.

I don’t see that he “offended every American veteran”. He was just stating some harsh truths that playing sports and qualifying to serve in the military is not necessarily going to help one do well in a “highly-skilled market economy”.
To: Nachum
Eff Buffett. He knows nothing about the character and intellect of GRUNTS. I do and it encompasses the entire Bell Curve. Nothing like having a squad leader with a 55 GT score and balls made of brass.

155 GT score. Shropshire a a PFC from Brooklyn was the 55. Just joking, he wasn’t that dumb but he was the best shot I ever saw in person. Eyes like a hawk and not a nerve in his body.

“Unfortunately, that’s a classic solution for an imbalanced society: start a war designed to kill off most of your unwanted population.
Be very concerned when someone very influential suggests it openly.
...and remember, China has a young male surplus they need to, um, address.”
That is a chilling thought.

> “You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”
coming from money and being a silver spoon brat makes it a lot easier to get that education so you can make an "effort to be smart". Obviously it didn't work for Kerry
