Greed has always been a downfall of us humans, and it always will be, I think it could be our downfall.

WOW!  Well put and well said.  You are so right.  I am so sick and tired of hearing their whining and BS that "they only want a better life" no matter what crime they commit.  That seems to be standard response number 1.  Clearly, there is a huge double standard.

The man clears over $5,000 a month that can't be touched, so he's not broke, he's just greedy and trying to make money off of his crime.  He doesn't see this as sick, of course, he is a certified sociopath and has no idea how appalling this is, not only that, you can't explain this to him in a way that he understands.  Sociopaths have no understanding of emotions whatsoever, trying to describe 'feelings' to him would be like trying to explain calculus to a dog.

very very interesting concept. The need to seem/appear more affluent is something that society places alot of emphasis on. Throughout history, people with more money, fame, possessions have been given higher importance. And dependant on your possessions and financial stance, people will view you in a different way, and many times, tend to believe that the person is better. Personally, I feel that the only way a person can be judged, if even, is by his personality, his compassion, his humanity, his honor and his righteousness. In short, deeds-- good deeds and pure intention is perhaps the only fair way to sub categorize people..  But coming back to what you were saying, its sad that there is this human tendency to seem bigger, bigger and/or richer than we actually are. Its the reason why so many people are in debt, and the bank and loan companies are reveling in the joys of our falls.  I do admit that there are times, that people dont purchase things because they want to seem more affluent in society, and its just because they want something so bad, and they want to pay it off in installments. In that case, my best advice would be to get zero % interest type deals, where you don't lose out in the long run, get your favorite "toy" or product or useful necessary item, and just pay it off responsibly. The dangers lie when greed take over caution, and one spends way over what one could make up for, leading him/her into financial chaos, and paying off thousands of dollars of interest for a long long time.  In the long run, more things do not ultimately buy happiness.. We know that. A nice warm living area, safety, health, thoughts of God's mercy, and a compassionate outlook on life should suffice.

Be ruthless, greedy, power-hungry and corrupt, and make sure you have loads of money (or friends who do).

Looks like you already answered your question. Sickening isn't it?\n\nGalaxy500: Hey slick, could you please explain for me just how an increase in minimum wage makes people want to stay on welfare?\nThis should be a real hoot.

I agree that it would be a really great thing if we could do that. But who is considered one of the innocent people? And how do you define hurt? Physical only, or also mental? As long as there is greed, hate, intolerance, and other bad feelings out there people are going to continue hurting innocent people. Not because most of them want to, but merely because they want to get their way, and if the easiest road involves hurting an innocent, then so be it. It's a sad state of affairs, but I agree with you I hope that day comes (where people don't harm the innocent of course).

It is because of the greed for power and wealth!!!

No. Sometimes doing what you hate is the price you need to pay to do what you love.

I bet injured miroorganisms would be mad as hell and want to deliver as much pain and suffering as they could.  I'd stay away from them.

I think it is worse than that. Look for any action or decision from those who gouvern and you'll find a profit motive.
