LOL. Your weak assertion does not even stand the test of elementary logic and reading comprehension. Look at what I said in post #490, keeping as much context as we can:

Ah, good. A man after my own heart. It's all about bucks, kid. The rest is...conversation. Just kill everybody else and devil take the hindmost. Ethics, morality, doing the right thing, all of those are for sissies, sentimental Judeo-Christian ethics that are outmoded in the globalist capitalist world. To hell with anything and anyone who gets in the way of the pursuit of the Almighty Dollar. Right on!

Now, I know it’s hard, but try to follow this. See where I use the word “kill” in the fifth sentence. Then notice the concluding phrase. If I meant “kill” as you are lyingly trying to accuse me of, how could there be anyone left for the devil to take the hindmost? They’d be dead, so the devil either wouldn't get them or he’d have them anyway, no need to take them. But, if you view it for it’s true meaning, that is, run everyone else out of business or otherwise destroy them to enrich yourself, the meaning is clear. Profits are the only things that matter, so destroy whomever you have to so you can get more money for yourself.

If that makes me a heartless, cruel amoral capitalist then I'm OK with that.

Of that I’m sure. Don’t worry, history provides you with plenty of company. Nero fiddled while Rome burned and was okay with that. The masses in the Coliseum enjoyed their bread and circuses while the lions devoured the early Christians and were okay with that. It is said that Eichmann was a reliable churchgoer and kind to animals, but he presided over the slaughter of millions. You may not be in the same league as this rogue’s gallery, but the principle is the same. People who do wrong things always seem to find ways to rationalize and live with them. It doesn't make them right, just deluded.

When people die if they don't go to heaven they go to hell. That would be, theoretically, when the devil would take the hindmost. Kind of like "kill 'em all, let God sort them out".

Profits ARE the sole duty of a corporation. If that means competition goes out of business then that's the competition's fault for not being up to the fight. Or are you saying that Harley Davidson is evil because Indian Motor Company has gone out of business while competing with them not once but twice? Why is it Harley's fault that Indian didn't have the ability to be profitable even when there were only two motorcycle companies in America? Harley is just selling the best bike they can for a price that is market friendly, if that drives the competition under what is Harley supposed to do about it? Make less popular bikes?!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA the fact that you would equate being a good quality engineer and trying to make sure my company ships a high quality product with Eichman shows that you're downright certifiable. We just make communications software man, no Jews on the trains here, got a few in the boardroom though.
