@ Mayo - As far as I can tell, this is Eturnalshift's Soapbox and I don't care if USD (or anyone else) uses it to talk about whatever they want. Tuhl can joke on me. USD can joke on Tuhl. The only person with the aching vagina is you... so chill the fuck out.
USD was right when he said non-tax payers are a drain on the system. They use services without giving back... it's a pretty simple concept to understand.

Does this mean that this dishwasher (who's also a juggalo irl, he always wears his ICP hat and chain) has more intrinsic worth than Tuhl?
Since you're asking if the Dishwasher has more worth than Tuhl, it depends on the metrics. If Tuhl has no income then, as far as earnings go, the Dishwasher has more worth. Being a parent...? Probably the Dishwasher. Paying taxes? Probably the Dishwasher until Tuhl is making a fat paycheck.
Worth is relative to the context. I'm worthless is some regards but I have worth in others. I'm worthless when it comes to teaching, playing music, fixing cars, sailing, bio-chemistry or cooking complex meals without a recipe. My worth can be defined in other ways... like, I do make money and pay my taxes, I'm a great father and husband, I'm very handy when it comes building/fixing stuff around the house, I'm very charitable, I have strong convictions, I make wise decisions with my life, I'm in good health and I'm always honest (although be being honest isn't always valued by those I'm being honest to). Between Tuhl and I, his worth as a programmer likely isn't as high as mine and my worth as a lawyer isn't going to be as high as his. When it comes to earnings, my worth is probably higher than Tuhl's (unless he has some awesome income). When measuring our worth to social systems, I'm probably of greater worth since I'm likely paying more in taxes to those systems and not using them. That doesn't mean Tuhl is a horrible person.

...shit out something that looks like you all of a sudden makes you a better person (even though at almost every opprotunity you've proven yourself to be a complete twat) than someone else.
Are we suggesting being born to a certain class makes you better than someone else or...? Consider this, Mayo. From my experience with you, I get the impression you think you're better than Republicans because of your forward thinking and because Republicans are a bunch of greedy, racist, rich oil tycoons that invade smaller countries just so we can kill babies. I also feel like you think you're better than other people when it comes to having an opinion on food or theists because you don't believe in religion. You also appear to think you have some model personality against those like myself or Juggalos. Like everyone else, you've proven yourself to be a complete twat on multiple occasions and, like everyone else, you've looked down on other people for one reason or another. How are you any better of a person?
Glad we can have this talk, champ. Run along, now.
