Why the Obama Plan will fail...

Allow me to tell you all a story!
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before,
but had once failed an entire class.
That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D!
No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
Could not be any simpler than that.

I like posting poorly thought out, incorrect analogies too!
I mean, seriously;
The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
comes across as "We Conservatives don't like helping other people, dammit!".
P.S.Grades in college are really like getting food on the table.

So, moral of the story is Obama's plan is a discouragement to those who work hard for their grades and incouragement to those who do not work at all or work very little. Down on the road both type of people (students) get discouraged because everyone simply lost their taste in studies.
It could be that also.
So does that Obama's plan of socialism will fail in the economy.
Just trying to understand your post here. Though I must say that you have proven your point.

Only if his point is "Those college kids were selfish lazy idiots."
Edit:
In any case, you lost all your credibility when you said the moon had once been split in half.
You can't just say that and leave us hanging without a link man :(

He didn't prove anything. He just made a really bad and shallow analogy.
In any case, you lost all your credibility when you said the moon had once been split in half. Why did I even open the thread up again? I hope it gets locked, it's pretty worthless.
Relax now I am not here to argue with you. The thing that had happened I simply stated with a legit proof. AND I also stated in the argumentive threat the one you are refering to that. People believe whatever they want to believe.
I believe I have proved it right when I related NASA caption of thin line on the moon and a Quote of the Holy Quran. Which you find hard to swallow. A little research before calling me a retard might help you digust whatever you cant about me.^^
Also you simply can not brag on / pick on / ignore the person who proved you wrong in some threat previously. ^^ That is how YOU lose your own credibility.
I am here to seek help, have a fun time, as well as get to know people. I suggust you should do the same.
EDIT: No hard feelings by the way.

Lawl. When did you prove me wrong? What? That dusty old tome means nothing to me. Have you studied basic phyisics so far? I'm glad you're convinced that you prove your point, but I read all your posts and they were simply ridiculous.
The thin line on the moon was probably nothing more than an impact or other phenomenon. That's basically like saying that because the earth has mountains it was once a giant spiked planet-destroying ball that got blunted out over time.
The are solar winds, y'know? And a plethora of other phenomenons which includes cosmic collisions. I find that way more likely thant the moon being split in half. Rofl.
I have this crease along my back where my spine is. ZOMG it must be the line where I was divided before! Lol. If you read over that thread, you'll realize I never posted anything. And I'm afraid that despite how convinced you were of making your point, I doubt anyone took you seirously... except maybe Boodle, but he buys into things easily.
And yeah, no hard feelings. But I'm afraid made-up stories don't qualify as "proof".
* I didn't see any.
** That doesn't prove anything. I'm not Jewish... I'm not even Christian... you think the Quran means anything to me? I didn't see any proof in any of those statements.
Though I was suppose to be mad at you but I actually laughed on the "crease along my back where my spine is."
As for my posts being ridiculous, find one post and pinpoint the ridicul that I have stated in any of my posts. Your mind is set on that post where you simply took off while I stated the "phenomenon" regarding the moon.
Overall I do not wish anyone to buy into anythings that I post here unless until they are proven. Infact a simple debate or discussion would make my threads more explainable. If you think that I am here to take things seriously you are completely wrong.
The religions are not madeup stories. Its not anyones fault that you live in a different time and fail to believe any of them. Not that I want you to believe in it.
that "ZOMG" part made me realize of your maturity. I'd say you are about 15 or early 20s, a stubborn who picks one guy for one belief and discourage him showing that to everyone for months. This is where we differ and it makes me alot better then you.
If you ask me. You havent proven me that "phenomenon" of yours regarding moon is actually true! You do not see me bragging about it or trolling on you in every post, nor you see me discouraging/insulting you in any post.
Learn to participate and move on my friend. Also try to be friendly and discussional.
Good luck!
