		<description>Hey is this the place to go if you have no common sense?  Do you really have to look through a whole book to find something to cry and whine about because you love propaganda and you believe that child rapists should be adored?  I am sick of morons like you guys that hate people due to their political opinions.  I do not agree with everything glenn beck says, or john stewart or etc... but I do not look down upon them for thinking different from me.  I am a teacher and I see self rightous idiocies in a lot of my students.  I do not bother them with political agendas but I do ask them to not be closed minded.  If you do agree with the opinions in Becks book, then look at the truths and make up your mind.  Otherwise you can go to hell!!!  Not really but open your eyes and your mind...... for everyones sake.</description>

		<description>Glenn Beck has made being stupid a profession. This is a guy whose credentials are going straight from high school to being a disc jockey.

No education. No knowledge. No expertise. No nothing.

For stupid, how stupid do you have to be to CONVERT to Mormonism? Someone raised in a mormon family at least has an excuse.

As a mormon, here is what Glenn Beck believes on youtube:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cygkYWPTRj8&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;mormon beliefs&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>I seldom give these people any attention. I believe that these guys always go for the phrase that will get them ratings. They don&#039;t believe any of it! If one said &quot;Bush came back from Camp David high from coke&quot;  one would get attention. Of course you can&#039;t prove it; that doesn&#039;t matter. CNN and Fox have set such low standards that any tom, dick, or jane can meet them. The best thing that has happened to our media  is that these blogs allow checking sources through links etc. One kind find out whether a statement is BS or factual. 
Beck, O&#039;Reilly, Coulter and others throw out anything. It is like flashing - it gets attention even from the people who don&#039;t like it. It really is up to the medium carrying the message to sort out the garbage before putting it on for public exposure. Fox News - I quit them several years ago - CNN- I haven&#039;t watched in three years. And NBC (other than an occasional Olbermann), CBS, and ABC can&#039;t be trusted. I like PBS but in last year it has shifted to the right. But Frontline, Nova, and Lehrer provide news for the people. If I really want some depth I go where I&#039;m at now - internet.</description>

		<description>I agree with #123 why pass on  this garbage? 

It is obvious to all of us that some of the poorest people we  know are the least lazy...

And in the main wealth is more often correlated to:

1) who your parents are/were
or
2) To what degree you are willing to feed off of or take advantage of others. 

Capitalism run amuck and uncehecked (without conscience or morality or grandchildren,  feeds off others and infiltrates governments).   It is the new age gloved tyranny that will keep us sitting dumbed down in front of our TVs, or working at our little desks being unproductive or buying new little techno toys.... until the golden goose of life as we know it is sucked dry.</description>

		<description>Uh, Beck, why in the hell would I care what he wrote in his book, except maybe that it&#039;s yet another thing I can be thankful for?

I&#039;m thankful that I don&#039;t have to watch his show, 
I&#039;m thankful that I don&#039;t have to read his book, 
I&#039;m thankful that I don&#039;t have to watch his network.

I just wish I could be thankful that I don&#039;t have to read about him on any otherwise worthwhile Internet sites.</description>

		<description>Hmm .. I&#039;ve not read the book, but did the report really report correcty.  Certainly I&#039;d think it&#039;s uncontroversial that, on average, lazy people are more poor than non-lazy people.  Are any of these controversial?

- Some people are more lazy than others.
- Lazy people, on average, earn less money than non-lazy people.
- Lazy people will be over-represented among poor people.

Am I wrong?

Cheers,

		<description>They nearly starved because they settled upon the shittiest piece of real estate in the neighborhood. That is exactly why the natives didn&#039;t give a shit. Nice try but I call totoal bullshit on your attempt to make this obtuse and shallow try to link your worldview with historical events. 

Please describe the government employee you envision or are you opposed to government employees? Anarchy is hardly a rightie/conservative stance. Why do you hate your government employees?</description>

		<description>Beck is correct.  Interesting lesson this Thanksgiving weekend:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2007/11/the_tragedy_of_the_commons.html

&lt;blockquote&gt; When the Pilgrims first settled the Plymouth Colony, they organized their farm economy along communal lines. The goal was to share everything equally, work and produce.

They nearly all starved.

Why? When people can get the same return with a small amount of effort as with a large amount, most people will make little effort. Plymouth settlers faked illness rather than working the common property. Some even stole, despite their Puritan convictions. Total production was too meager to support the population, and famine resulted. Some ate rats, dogs, horses and cats. This went on for two years.

 When action is divorced from consequences, no one is happy with the ultimate outcome. &lt;strong&gt;If individuals can take from a common pot regardless of how much they put in it, each person has an incentive to be a free rider, to do as little as possible and take as much as possible because what one fails to take will be taken by someone else.&lt;/strong&gt; Soon, the pot is empty and will not be refilled -- a bad situation even for the earlier takers.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

<blockquote><p> When the Pilgrims first settled the Plymouth Colony, they organized their farm economy along communal lines. The goal was to share everything equally, work and produce.</p>
<p>They nearly all starved.</p>
<p>Why? When people can get the same return with a small amount of effort as with a large amount, most people will make little effort. Plymouth settlers faked illness rather than working the common property. Some even stole, despite their Puritan convictions. Total production was too meager to support the population, and famine resulted. Some ate rats, dogs, horses and cats. This went on for two years.</p>
<p> When action is divorced from consequences, no one is happy with the ultimate outcome. <strong>If individuals can take from a common pot regardless of how much they put in it, each person has an incentive to be a free rider, to do as little as possible and take as much as possible because what one fails to take will be taken by someone else.</strong> Soon, the pot is empty and will not be refilled &#8212; a bad situation even for the earlier takers.

Hey K-troll, would you like to explain why you  posted the following sh!t? =============================================

The troops have obviously failed. &lt;strong&gt;The war is lost.&lt;/strong&gt; We should have just let Hussein have his way.

================================================

The troops murdered, tortured and raped innocent Muslimâ€™s, all in support of the Bush/Cheney plan to help their oil buddies and the evil Haliburton. That is failure. &lt;strong&gt;The war is lost and the troops have failed.&lt;/strong&gt;
================================================

 Bush made us invaders/crusaders and because we support of that evil, illegitimate country called Israel. &lt;strong&gt;The war is lost.&lt;/strong&gt;

		<description>&quot;The book says that some poor people are poor because they are lazy, not that all poor people are poor because they are lazy. Get the difference?&quot;

If true, that _is_ a difference, but for me that does not constitute enough reason to take a break from reading about mathematical logic to waste time with a &quot;book&quot; from someone I have plenty of evidence to consider a boor, a loudmouthed fool and a demagogue.</description>

		<description>beck claims to be a recovered alcoholic. it would appear that the only thing he has in remission is intelligence.

Comment by sdr â€” November 25, 2007 @ 12:57 pm

Having dealt with alcoholics, I can say that the fact of quitting drinking doesn&#039;t do a thing for the underlying personality disorder.  An opinionated ass remains an opinionated ass wet or dry.  In fact, the drying out process sometimes causes the underlying personality disorder to be magnified.  In other words, given the average ugly drunk, if you take away the drunk, the ugly remains.  This seems to especially be the case when the individual comes to sobriety through evangelism.  The religion seems to magnify the ugly so to speak.</description>

As someone who knows a little about alcoholism...I would not put my money on anything this guy says.  He sounds a little balmy and alcoholics lie a bunch.  Not all of them really get sober...look at Dubya.</description>
