Your use of "super-capitalists" as a pejorative revealed more than you intended, I'm sure.

And, I'm sure, you completely ignored my intent and explanation and focused on the use of one word.

"Your use of "super-capitalists" as a pejorative revealed more than you intended, I'm sure.

Nope, I understood your intent to insult "super-capitalists" loud and clear.

“I can’t eat an iPad,” another said.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think they left out an adjective?

LOL What do you think I mean by super-capitalists? Your initial response demonstrated to me that you have a different idea as to what that means than what I mean by it.

It's your job to clearly identify the persons you're trying to insult, not mine. If you feel you were misunderstood, you should clarify.

I wasn't trying to insult anyone. It's an adjective describing a way of thinking.

That YOU claim it as an insult it telling.

I'm so sorry if I offended you.

BTW, I note you STILL won't explain what you think it means. So, I guess you don't know what you are defending.

Dudley worked at Goldman Sachs from 1986 to 2007, holding the position of chief economist for ten years before he was hired by then-president of the New York Federal Reserve Timothy Geithner to oversee the department in charge of buying and selling government securities.^[5][6]

According to salary figures released in 2010, Dudley is paid "more than $410,000 per year", making him one of the two highest-paid of the twelve presidents of the Federal Reserve Banks.^[7]

You absolutely *were* trying to insult the people you call "super-capitalists" by claiming they look foolish. You'll have a hard time convincing me that calling someone "foolish" isn't an insult.

I am defending the people I consider to be "super-capitalists", and now you say that my definition is incorrect even though you don't know my definition.

So, please enlighten us with the correct definition. My definition of it doesn't matter since I didn't come up with the term. It's your word, so you get to define it. So, what does it mean?

That Marie Antoinette quote, infamous though it is, has been misinterpreted down through the centuries. Now, it’s understood to be the height of arrogance, utterly dismissive. Then, she was so detached that she actually thought the common people could substitute cake for bread, if bread was too expensive.

Okay, so you have been defending your understanding of the term "super-capitalist" all morning against my usage of it even though you admit you don't know what it means? Huh?

Oh wait: " I am defending the people I consider to be "super-capitalists", and now you say that my definition is incorrect even though you don't know my definition."

Oh, you do know what it means.

Okay, which is it? Do you or don't you know what it means? If you don't, why did you spend so much defending a term you don't understand?

Man, talk about circular arguments...

I’ve switched to Aldi. Prices at Kroger had finally started to come down a bit, but now are shooting back up.

If you like the Adams family, there is a truly excellent TV series.

If you haven’t seen it, I would recommend getting it on DVD from the library.

They were truly an ordinary and yet extraordinary family.

It’s simple: you claim I’m using the wrong definition, even though you don’t know my definition. Fair enough, for the sake of conversation let’s assume my (unstated) definition is wrong. After all, it’s your word, so you get to define it. So, what does it mean?
