Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Kind of makes it easier if you can get a 60 million dollar loan from daddy like Trump did.
Or if White Daddy owns an Emerald mine in Black South Africa, taken by force by military from Europe, like was the case for Elron Musk. So how was that fair to all South Africans?
You are completely blind if you think there is an even playing field.
Yes there may be the occasional anecdotes, like Jeff Bezos who weren't born rich, but for them it requires both insanely hard work and luck.
Anecdotes are not a statistic that proves anything. And the statistics clearly say that if you are rich, chances are overwhelming that you were born into it.
Yet the rich have a sense of entitlement that they somehow deserve to be rich, but not the people who have to work two jobs, and never have a vacation. How do you arrive at that is a fair system?
Wait... being rich requires hard work and luck? Too bad. No one can do that. So go to bed and keep begging for money.
And what does? Your own interpretation of your own anecdotes that no one succeeded around you?
Having a better chance doesn't mean others don't have a chance. Do you even understand statistics?
You don't have any influence on luck. So yes, nobody can do that, that's something you may or may not get.
I never claimed any such thing, you are arguing a Straw Man.
So basically you don't want to take the chance because there's a chance you'll fail. This is hilarious! No question you're a failure.
Here's a life pro tip: If you don't try, your success chance is 0%. If you do try, its larger than 0%. Simple math.
You guys are really a broken generation! Social media broke you.
I never wrote anything of the kind, you are arguing another straw man.
Yet another straw man, that's 3 in a row now. Tell me don't you know what a straw man argument is, since you continue to use them?
Yes, of course. Everything is a straw man. Prove me wrong and stop saying... oh sorry, "hinting" that there's no point in trying. More importantly, stop making that impression to people. We need more people to build new things and work hard. Not more losers in Starbucks serving coffee.
Appreciate your comments man. Keep fighting the good fight.
Let's hope it makes a difference.
