.. a background singer?

Hahaha.. this is top-notch. It makes me so proud to be born and raised in Jersey.

"I had just the same opportunities that Michael Jordan had..".

Sowell always knocks it out of the park, and nobody sparks up an intelligent conversation quite like Mr. Robinson.

This is the man who eventually won me over. It´s funny how much my life has improved just by reading his work, not only on a personal but also on a professional level. I am forever grateful.

Hahaha.. Well put!

I love that movie sooo much!!! 

Thanks for quoting it.

"In Europe, it is considered "profound" to be depressed.." Hahaha, this is sooo true.

Brilliant man.

Well, that just about sums it up!

After having lived in Europe for many years, all I can say is this is the exact strategy used in many of its countries. I haven´t been to all unfortunately, but this video reflects the standard mindset of all those that I am familiar with.. and life is not going well on this side of the Atlantic at all.

Wow, you really hit the nail on the head.

After having lived in Spain for quite some time (please don´t ask me why), I can only say that you have just said exactly what I was about to mention.

You also expressed it with more precision than I could have ever had. This is why I am so grateful for Ricochet.

I´m picking up Claire´s book a.s.a.p., and would really love to read more posts about this topic in particular.

My thoughts exactly.

Thank you so much!!! I was going to mention this.. They are huge and at the peak of their powers. Love them or hate them, they are certainly not liberal nor leftists. And by the way, they are really huge all over the world.

I would also like to mention the show Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn and Jim Norton, which was a really great show and definitely not liberal.

And why didn´t anybody mention the Great One? I am amazed that noone has mentioned him. Best sense of humor, ever.

Great topic, by the way.

True. So very true.

It was my pleasure.

Yes, remarkable it is.. Even when they lose, they win.

I´m not so sure if it is intentional though. I find it to be more of a reflex, something you would expect from a teenager or a child for example.

Although, I may be wrong.

Actually, now that I think about it... Bill Whittle was on right on the money about this topic, where, actually, we kinda suck. It's somewhat of a very condensed version of Sowell's A Conflict of Visions.

It really defines the issue here, and really hits home on why liberals don't like us.

Thank you for saying this! It is just what I was thinking.

This is the root of the problem in my opinion.

Maybe I am not saying anything new but.. In this mentality, one does not understand that someone else can think differently. The only option to understand a disagreement with another person would be to project one's own faults and behavior onto that particular person..

Hey!

Maybe he married her for her cooking.

.. and how about obligatory indoor swimming pools for agoraphobic swimmers?
