[bobsyeruncle]

Don't other great civilizations usually get invaded first?

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Didn't we just give away our greatness, our ability to out-produce any other nation in the world, for the lure of easy money overseas?

 

[bobsyeruncle]

Ooh! Where do I sign up for easy money?

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Did you know one of the prerequisites is being born with a silver spoon in your mouth?

 

[bobsyeruncle]

Should I just keep playing the lottery, then?

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Do you think unless you are born with some god-given talent you are destined to remain in the caste you were born into?

 

[loxmythe]

Isn't that just an excuse under-achievers use for not trying?

 

[bobsyeruncle]

Do you think patent chests, new business regulations and banks make it harder for new talent to break in?

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Doesn't the oppressive cost of a decent higher education also restrict your opportunities?

 

[bobsyeruncle]

Don't they subsidize university where you are?

 

[RippleInStillWater]

In what country do you live in, Bob, where the cost of higher education is free?!?!?!

 

[loxmythe]

Is "higher" education innuendo?

 

[Prism]

Is that

an innuendo?

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Why do you want it innuendo?!?!?!

 

[beebopnjazz]

Ripple is warped, isn't he?

 

[loxmythe]

Warped or twisted?

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Doesn't everyone love a bad pun?

 

[bobsyeruncle]

Doesn't everybody snicker at a clever innuendo?

 

[loxmythe]

Do snickers really satisfy?

 

[beebopnjazz]

Is that an unusual use for a snickers bar?
