  Wealth, Poverty, and Morality

  by SecondRateMind in

  i am interested in the approach this forum takes to money.

  apart from sex, (which i am quite relaxed about) it seems to me that wealth is the surest divider between those who are moral, and those who are not.. it seems jesus thought so, also.

  luke 16:19-31 kjv describes well enough his dusty attitude to the rich who do not succour the poor.. and this world has many poor: so many, it might seem that we can do nothing about it, and twist his words; 'the poor ye shall have always with you, but me, ye shall not have always.

  @ dubstepped

  I have a hard time finding good employees too so I have learned to better manage the ones I have.

  I have also made investments in automation so that I don’t have to rely on labour so much.

  I think you need to learn to better manage marginal employees.

  Simon I disagree. Not totally but in part. A good part of many peoples success financially depends on what vagina they are born from.

  I was born in canada to a working class family in a rural area . Growing up I had access to healthy food, two parents, free healthcare and free schooling to grade 12. Because of observing my parents I was exposed to a strong work ethic and solid money management skills. My dad taught me a trade and volunteered his labour to me for free when I started my business.

  It is not fair to compare myself to someone in a third world country ekeing out a living and barely surviving day to day. Nor is it fair to compare myself to the business sucess of donald trump who was born with a golden spoon.

  Shallowness in 4/29 Watchtower study

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  move forward as a spiritual person.. paragraph 2 "robert and his wife began passing time by quizzing each other on bible subjects.

  his wife, a spiritually strong person, had no problem answering the questions, but robert found himself constantly embarrassed, not knowing what to say.".

  there is no indication of how she fits the template of a spiritual person other than she can answer bible trivia.

  You’re quite the commie second rate mind.

  Sorry for the disparaging comment but I couldn’t resist.

  I feel that under your plan humanity would be worse off. Here in Canada we are debating a minimum income. A no questions asked guaranteed monthly payment of $1500.00. I have a question about it though. Who pays? Where does the money come from? The taxpayer.

  We are already experiencing a severe labour shortage in some industries. The agriculture sector is short 60000 workers now and it is projected to be 120000 in 10 years time.

  If we pay people to stay at home why would they remotely think about doing the unpleasant tasks required for food production.

  At the other end of the spectrum people like me in the ag business would have to pay more income taxes to support those who choose to take only basic income. So we would work less as well. Why bust your ass all weekend long for nothing when you can sit at the beach and drink beer?

  As some posters already commented this has been tried in the Soviet Union and China and their people have literally starved to death.

  Russia and the Ukraine have some of the most fertile land in the world but in the 1970’s and 1980’s the Canadian Government gifted them millions of tonnes of wheat so that they could feed their people. It was found out after the fact that the farm workers on the collective farms were deliberately sabotaging their production by not applying their fertilizer to the land They were digging holes and burying it in the ground so that they didn’t have to work as hard at harvest time.

  Most people are inherently lazy and need some form of economic incentive to be productive

  Good College Vs. Evil Watchtower

  by metatron in

  some observations about college degrees taken from the sept. 25, 05 new york times op-ed section, under the heading,.

  "the education gap".. "college graduates earn nearly twice as much as high school graduates, and people with professional degrees earn nearly twice as much as.

  those with college degrees.... you are beginning to see vast behavioral differences between the two groups.. for example, divorce rates for college grads are plummeting, but they are not for everyone else.

  ... and this time it was mine.. mrs. eden decided to part ways and leave home, and so our 25 year long partnership is now dissolving.

  .

  just another colateral damage in a long list of colateral damages from being raised in the "truth".

  A lot of relationships break up at your age. When the children are on their own people question if it could be better on their own or with a different person. I know I did and mrs hoser probably did too, although she never said so.
