alexy's weak coundter attack...was: more trolling for alexy Are all CEOs just crooks

On Mon, 25 Apr 2005, alexy

Well, one non-crook in a large universe of crooks .... what big effect does that have? One rotten apple in a barrel of good apples is nothing to write home about, but if I find half the apples rotten, then I gonna throw out the barrel because it ain't worth the trouble looking at the rest.

I'll nominate my barber, who seems

No cigars there....the bad CEOs have a lot of physical, legal, and bureaucratic insulation between guys like me and them.

This new claim, that there is more evidence

Its all part of the tip of the iceberg. Considering the large number of executives (and all their hangers-on) in the biggest corporations (and Scrushy, and a bunch others), lets speculate the ratio of visible tip of poo to the invisible submerged tip..... do you think the only crooks out there are the ones that are discovered?

Oh, I'll still say they're "all" a bunch of crooks.

Aw shucks (if Ebbers can say it, so can I)...I'll bet money on it.

Two studies, one recent, one 5-10 years ago showed statistically significantly less giving to charity by the rich and s-s more giving by the poor (compared to 20 years ago). I'm sorry I didn't save the references...but I'm sure you'll just dismiss them.

. And as you look at the "evidence" you have gathered, try

1. If half the apples in the barrell are bad, I'm rejecting the barrell. 2. You still have not presented any CEO meritable traits worth my charitable judgement of CEOs..

See... greed and selfishness are simply symptoms of the pathology.

Which dry cleaner?

I don't read everything. Do you? I don't remember everything. Do you?

I was wrong about Stonecipher not being a CEO but he did do a bad thing and did it behind everyones back.

1. In reputable media. 2. Cites references & studies. 3. Authored by reputable people.

Wouldn't have anything

I'm still waiting for you to tell us what magnanimous, great, angelic, and superior people CEOs are, and while you're at it, explain why, and give us some sources.

Um...care to give me YOUR notion of a well written book?

Really?

Your sentence beginning with "I find...."

And, for the record, I don't subscribe to creationism, either.

Most of what you have written so far has been an attack on my argument rather than a solid refutation based on empirically demonstrable facts.
