Your writing is fine, but its when your trying soooo hard to sound smart, is where you lose us.
Trying, heh? I am really not trying to do anything. I actually feel I don't give these arguments and their participants their due effort sometimes. Anyways, your loss and mine too. I would of been happy to hear you refute me with your wisdom, teflone.

Why do you try so hard to use big words?
Your response to me was bizzare and very out there..
Your idea of "adult talk" is warped, very few people speak with no emotion, or like a robot professor would talk.. Im at a loss of how to describe it.
It is not having the effect your looking for. fyi

My writing is fine. I am typing with little effort, frankly. I would prefer you to address the discussion at hand.

The only "injustice" that would be felt is jealousy.
To quote my writing:
Jealousy is simply hating a person for experiencing pleasure or good fortune. How senseless. Primal -- but senseless. From this basis comes the absurd concept of "fairness"; the sense of entitlement from another's fortune. The only result of acting on this emotion is destruction.

Unsurprisingly, you're using another word wrongly. What you're describing is envy, not jealously. The two words aren't synonyms. Jealousy is about keeping what one has whereas envy is about resentment caused by not having what one wants.

So when you repeatedly say you have stole nothing of value..
So you have stole something that is in your eyes worthless ?
Not necessarily. I can admire a woman and gain tremendous value from her beauty without taking anything of value but a slight wisp of the air she has breathed. She might look in the mirror and see an abhorrent creature. It's never a zero-sum game.So you have stole something that is in your eyes worthless ?
Anyways, I haven't stolen anything but if you wish to consider it stealing, in this case, it happens to be of little value to me.
If I were to take tremendous benefit from it, it would be no crime. The only "injustice" that would be felt is jealousy.

A parasite requires a victim. The host is harmed in the process. I've harmed nobody. I am not a parasite.
Your definition of parasitism is wrong.
Your definition of parasitism is wrong.
This coming from you is hilarious. Parasitism does not involve taking something by force, which is what you contended on somehting awful:"Parasites are people who take by force. Rapists, The IRS, etc. " When you learn the proper definition, you can try correcting people.

If I am not providing the correct value in return for what I am taking, it's stealing. I have not stolen anything of value. Parasites steal. If I cost my host nothing, I am only a symbiont: I can only create value.
Like hijacking someone's computer for your own purpose, without telling them, and potentially harming their hardware and/or increasing their electic bill while you reap the benefits. Yep, that's value right there.
Que your response that nothing of value was stolen, the amount stolen was miniscule, blah blah. If you repeat something enough, you think people will give in. You know, when everyone around you tells you you're doing wrong, they just might be right.
Parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship between organisms of different species where one organism, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host.

It requires force to take.
Anyways, when people go to a website, they accept to run all the software that is on it.

This is a dangerous mentality. The will of the collective is easily altered by social pressures; primal emotion.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9UlQFRoajs
Copying and pasting a wikipedia entry does not qualify you as understanding parasitism. There are plenty of cases of debatable parasitism, such a zooxanthellae reproducing in corals, where it in unclear that there is any detriment to the host, as the coral sequesters the dinoflagelletes and consumes their waste products of photosynthesis, but there is a clear detriment to the parasite: it is no longer free living and it's population is bioregulated by the host coral and they are digested at will. One could argue that it is mutualism, as both organisms can survive independent of one another, but only one thrives in combination. So what say you to the host benefiting from the parasite? The same could be said about much of your gut flora.
In any case, when there is no victim, I show no concern. A woman disgusted with my front door and the fecal matter she had stepped in on her way to it is no victim in my view. She can take my home as-is.

You know what the best part is? Atlas saying his crimes are victimless, even when he is stealing and taking advantage of others, makes him a parasite. The one thing he can't stand.
And no, Atlas, before you even begin. A parasite does not take things by force, that's predation. A parasite takes from others without providing anything to the host in return. All the "value" you provide to your victims is not reimbursement for your parasitism.

Yeah, unfortunately it's just an Atlas gimmick. 
The real Atlas would have screamed bloody murder and have accused me of being a scammity fraudster again for mentioning that bitcoin he owes me.

PinkiePie was a better troll. Oh, PinkiePie. 
Look, you're taking my time right now. It might be small but to me that is worth over $100. I am going to have to bill you.
Good try, but can't call you reading his post him taking your time.
Especially when he could put me on ignore and not even have to take the time to scroll past my posts. Reading my posts is absolutely voluntary as is me reading his. Whether either of us believes it was a worthwhile use of our time after the fact is irrelevant.

It's a matter of semantics. I agree with the general definition of humility here and I'll leave it at that.
