So, the contract says you cannot change the connection.  What if he wanted to upgrade to the T1 and allow you to use it at no  additional charge (compared to your current costs).  Would that be okay with you?  Surely you'd allow that, right?

Sure, offcourse, if everyone in the house gets that free upgrade, why not eh?

Nearly every university has internet on which the student has access to, not?

We share it equally

Interesting.  Don't you think that the people living in that room with more ability to pay should be forced to pay more than the people who aren't quite so able?

Nope, because everybody here uses the internet. Besides, our incomes don't differ a lot either since we're all students. But say 1 can't afford it. Would I be willing to pay the extra sum, together with my other roommates? Hmm, I dont thinks so, especially if he is going to use it aswell. Mind you, we are talking about the internet, a luxury good.

Taking bread, I think if he temporarily can't afford that, I wouldnt make a fuss about paying some, be it with a loan. But if he keeps continues, I wouldnt give him untill he has a job to pay it with.

What makes you think that?

Besides it's realy hard to stalk someone if they know you're there.  And if Ivan were around to see me posting beside Detta there might be hell to pay.

Well, you're posting without showing up in the member online list  

Ah, so you're afraid of stalkers, like Ivan?

In reply to Vespertine, I completely agree that economic inequallities are good to encourage succeeding. However, I don't mind if a certain percentage of my and everybody else's income would go to cases where it is absolutely needed.

You're a hidden user, aren't you?

3 hidden users! Show yourselves, you cowards!

And lets kill all gays...

You say I would arm more people than doing good?

Take 10,000 from a millionaire and he will hardly miss it. Give 10,000 to 1,000 people in the 3rd world and they will live for another week.

I call people who do not want to share their money with their the poor dishonorable, selfish.

Selfish, sure.  Dishonorable?  Maybe I'm missing something in the translation here, because I'm not clear on what you mean by that.

I'm reffering to morality. If you see a girl with matches selling on the streets on Christmas Eve, it would be honorable to help her.

But the moment you advocate the initiation of force on individuals to accomplish socioeconomic goals, you pretty much automatically waive any right to claim any kind of moral high ground.

Excuse my english, but I can't follow what you mean with "waiving any right...moral high ground"

You are essentially just another advocate of totalitarianism.  Might makes right.  The strong take from the weak for their own benefit.

If that's what you're advocating, fine, I suppose.  But don't expect people to be enthusiastic about supporting it.  It doesn't sound like a very just system to me.

Yes I think I am 'totalitair'. For the people that earn the support that is.

However, incapable people should get money from the community chest because the government can distribute that in a better way than tons of charity companies.

Argument based on fallacy.

Why is that? I think they would have a better overview where they can best put in their money.

^UberLOL

See?

Judgie likes you.  That should be reason enough, right?

Well, I don't know what to say really. Thanks...

To Detta: Same, hun. But I wonder, why did you choose that nickname? Myself, I'm 2 metres long, so I was looking for a prefix "big". "Mega" is silly, so is "Giga", so it became "Tera". It has also a nice link to terra, earth. And I needed something to go with Tera. And "Hammer" sounded nice. haha. I first took this nick in an online text RPG game.
