Steven Levitt: Why do crack dealers still live with their moms?

I like Leavitt publicizing certain interesting ideas, but he sometimes simply borrows others’ observations and implies they’re his.

Just consider me posting here to be a market choice.

meant Hitchwatch with that last comment

Wow, you are really a dumb ignorant idiot!
Go be an asshole somewhere else dude!

Haha, the ‘weak and shit’ theory!

OMG! I SAW A GIANT 6 FOOT BUNNY ON EASTER WHEN I WAS A YOUNG BOY.

My mom thinks I’m nuts, and my grand father WAS putting cotton balls around the house to get us riled up, but…

I saw it going out the door of our sun porch.
I ran after it, not even scared, which is surprising, looking back. I ran outside right behind it and it was gone, and I was running around everywhere looking for it.

I swear that it was real to this day, and tell the story with NO shame at all.

so did you…

haha, he said nigger.

I’m well aware that Levitt’s associates at the University of Chicago have tried to rationalize racism as a “market choice.” This would include Levitt’s hero Gary Becker, who claimed that slaves in the old South were happy and Richard Posner, who advocated a market where black babies would allowed to be traded at a discount to black babies. I really don’t need any lectures on racism from a Pat Contard fan.

A large part of freakonomics is based around showing how reason and knowledge is the best weapon against racism specifically using the decline and fall of the Ku Klux klan as an example. In the same chapter he statistically exposes hidden racism endemic in society. You wouldnt know this. You have not read the book. Yet here you are parading irreason and ignorance all over the comments section. Quite frankly I find your behavior appalling. You are no better than those you claim to oppose.

Why do you feel so compelled to defend this guy?

But he’s so entertaining. Just a wonderful collection of logical fallacies and stupidity.

Why am I a liar Hitchwatch. Have you read the book - no. Do you continuously make unsupported baseless allegations - yes. Are you an ingnoramus - yes. Do you argue like a creationist,Climate change or holocaust denier - yes. Are you stupid - clearly. Here’s a standard Hitchwatch quote “baseless allegation….inability to admit I’m wrong…lame ad hominim attack….big baby whine…more baseless allegations…endless stupidity” Sound about right?

Check out his most recent comment on my profile! Poor pitiful creature. Dont indulge him.

Shut up, you filthy black liar. I know all about this guy and his associates at the University of Chicago. I really don’t know why you have such a hard-on for this prick. Well, maybe I do. Let me quote some Pat Condell for you and you can tell me if you agree with this sort of rhetoric.

“A vote for Labour [sic] is a vote for Islam…. insane and wicked…. seriously mentally ill…. barbarians…. violent fanatics…. cancerous…. twisted malignant mutation…. vile inhuman…. Naziism.”

You just don’t get it do you Hitchwatch. First you make baseless accusations of racism based on a book you have not read. Then when I call you out for being wrong and an ignoramus, you then accuse me of being racict. Again a baseless assumption. So all I do is give you a taste of your own medicine and you lose it like a big whiney baby. Don’t like it Hitchwatch. DON’T DO IT. Grow up Hitchwatch.

Oh, you fucking lying idiot. That video is from Max Blumenthal who was exposing David Irving supporters. It’s impossible to have a discussion with human garbage like you.

Springtime for Irving: A Holocaust Denier Hits Manhattan

Max Blumenthal takes us to a secret New York lecture by Holocaust denier David Irving. On the way we meet Irving’s neo-Nazi supporters, hear Irving’s twisted views on history, and learn of his friendship with Christopher Hitchens.

I was merely making the comparison between the way you make your arguments and creationists. I could also have compared your arguments to that of a climate change, vaccine or holocaust denier. The real question, however, is why you seem to label everyone you disagree with as a racist? Especially with absolutely no evidence to back up ANYTHING you say. It’s easy enough to do. I saw you have a video about David Irving in your favorites. Don’t need to actually watch it, clearly your an antisemite.

Pat Contard fan thinks that everyone who disagrees with him is a theist. Go out and bash some Pakis with your BNP friends.

Still not read the book? Still blabbing on about Levitt being a racist without backing up your statements? Still misquoting? You really are like Ben Stein. You should give Hovind a call when he gets out of jail.

That’s what makes a market, Pat Contard fan.

you can be smart and ignorant. That’s not an oxymoron. You are stupid and ignorant. Ignorant because you clearly havent read the book. Stupid because your broadcasting that ignorance all over the comments. Here’s some advice. 1 - Read the book. 2 - critisise it. Not othe other way around. You are to this comments section what Ben Stein is to documentary making

So much for due process.

As opposed to smart ignorant comments?

I don’t know how your fevered imagination has managed to mix up 2 completely different chapters about 2 different subjects into 1 subject. But i’m guessing that not reading the book before making stupid ignorant comments might have something to do with it.

I’m new to this forum, but having looked around a bit, can I assume that hitchwatch is the local mentally ill nutter who can safely be ignored?
