Hmmm. I think it is saying "You're an idiot if you think putting the coaches kid on your NBA team is a bad thing."

That metaphor makes even less sense.

2019-11-24 19:24:42 UTC  

Not related, just saw it, thought it was funny

2019-11-24 19:24:45 UTC  

As long as youre part of the elite, who cares how many poor people there are.

2019-11-24 19:24:48 UTC  

@MechMage What, are you anti adorable kiddos on the team???

2019-11-24 19:25:22 UTC  

How do you equate "doesn't make sense" with "I oppose this"

2019-11-24 19:25:29 UTC  

I'm confused, not enranged.

2019-11-24 19:25:31 UTC  

*enraged

2019-11-24 19:26:41 UTC  

I dont understand your original statement about income equality. Can you rephrase?

2019-11-24 19:27:54 UTC  

The height comic is a metaphor about how income inequality doesn't actually make people poorer, isn't it?

2019-11-24 19:28:19 UTC  

It makes a good point that preschoolers aren't short because NBA players are tall.

2019-11-24 19:28:40 UTC  

In light of that anyone acting like unfairness is a bigger problem than poverty seems unwise.

2019-11-24 19:28:44 UTC  

You could look at it that way. I look at it like the NBA now has a bunch of cute tots on their team and La-bron is going out dribble them.

2019-11-24 19:29:26 UTC  

Because the comic pretends the team doesn't have the function or care for the kids. The comic actually says if that NBA team is now tested under game conditions with its new tots, they are super screwed.

2019-11-24 19:30:11 UTC  

This comic is saying be careful, even a single tot on your team can screw you in the conditions presented, let alone a schoolful.

2019-11-24 19:30:14 UTC  

The comic isn't really in the context of a basket ball game though.

2019-11-24 19:30:26 UTC  

They're just hanging out in a room at a cocktail party or something.

2019-11-24 19:30:42 UTC  

I don't get any indication that the comic is talking about a shared purpose.

2019-11-24 19:31:31 UTC  

Then it isn't an allegory of a functioning society presented in the first 2 panels is it?

2019-11-24 19:32:27 UTC  

The comic is saying if a country is a functioning NBA team then when a ton of immigrants show up it goes from a functioning NBA team to a bunch of guys at a cocktail party and not doing NBA stuff I guess?

2019-11-24 19:32:44 UTC  

You're really caught up on there being a team.

2019-11-24 19:32:57 UTC  

I think NBA players is just used to mean "tall people"

2019-11-24 19:33:12 UTC  

Since they're an extreme outlier that isn't controversal.

2019-11-24 19:33:22 UTC  

It works if they're a bunch of players from different teams.

2019-11-24 19:33:47 UTC  

Your conclusions might be right, but I'm just saying they're not drawn from the comic.

2019-11-24 19:34:09 UTC  

I like this comic because its wholesome on the surface and contradictory if you think about it, thats all.

2019-11-24 19:43:55 UTC  

It's comparing things from an analogy in a way that they can't be compared.

2019-11-24 19:44:01 UTC  

Average height doesn't affect anything

2019-11-24 19:44:20 UTC  

increasing the average of people willing to work under the table for cash does affect the economy.

2019-11-24 19:46:43 UTC  

and it's only an arithmetic fallacy if you assume millions of people added to the economy won't affect the job market

2019-11-24 19:46:53 UTC  

Which even if you're the most lefty of left would be very smooth brained.

Womb tattoos: Yes or no?

2019-11-24 19:55:53 UTC  

It's the penis that concerns me more

2019-11-24 19:57:14 UTC  

Definitely go with the tattoos. It's the little details that hold everything together.

2019-11-24 19:59:19 UTC  

Make way Matt, I found your dream girl

man eyes so far apart I can see her cranial cavity
