What I meant was, if your selfishness has an adverse affect on the lives of others, is it ok to be selfish in that case?

That depends, we need to set what "okay" is. Then we can have a definitive answer.
Shall we start out own culture with this set version of okay? Or would that be too Victorian?

If you can handle the lack of peace of mind and all the things associated with that lack of peace of mind, then I guess so. Thats not for me though. Why anyone would choose to put themselves through that kind of a life is beyond me. But then I am getting good at only thinking about how I feel in relation to anything, because the I is the only one I can change. You attitude determines your altitude remember .

Yeah, I know I said I would still love and respect you in the the morning, but I lied.

No I wasn't. There are still billions of people who are in poverty irrespective of the inroads that have reportedly been made. It's only taken 2000+ years.

Then your use of the language is obviously totally fukt. As for 2000 years, those improvements have almost all been in the last couple of hundred, y'know concurrent with the latest economic system. So this:

Minimising? No Money = Eradication.

Is obviously extravagantly wishful thinking. In fact going by your current storybook No Money = 100% of the population poor.

Which is pretty close. In fact a lot of them would be dead.

So your criteria for:

Obviously not.

Is found substantially wanting.

Again.

But the ones who are getting butt fucked by others as you put it, have choices too. Nobody has to stay oppressed or victimized, it is a choice, maybe an unconscious choice, but a choice non the less.

While your choice of phrasing is less than eloquent it really does sum it all up, and I immediately think of bankers and under regulated institutions that run riot and prey off ordinary everyday people. Although Im personally of a largely Tory persuasion that doesnt mean you cannot also have social conscience.
Politicians are also of course very much in the mix and one of the most atrocious examples of their attitudes is happening in Australia right now. Kevin Rudd ( aka Kevin Ruddiculous aka The milky bar kid ) is gallavanting around announcing this and that (announcements are easy, following through less easy ) Of course both he and then Gillard have made a right royal mess of the penal colony. Rudd is so clearly a complete and utter fraud and it is to be hoped that he will be totally annihilated in the forthcoming elections.

[Swoop]

A certain amount of poverty is caused by lazy-arse not wanting to get off their butt and contribute/do anything.

Any society is going to have those.

Holding their hand out constantly expecting 'somebody' to give them what they need. (want?)

Somebody had to mention our politicians...




I see Godwin's law has already been enacted in this thread, but has BEER been mentioned yet?

According to the alternative media the country has just achieved the highest living standards in the world.

What a shemozzle.

I don't like Rudd either, but the angry weird budgie smuggler is just as unappealing.
It will come down to who the populace dislikes least - and could be quite close.

That might be true, if it weren't for the daily parade of Labor party and Union types being hauled up on corruption charges...the Labor party will cease to exist in some places I think, and it looks like our lot are on the verge of splitting into several pieces too.

(scouse accent)Happy Days. (/scouse accent)

The sauce is strong in this one.

Nice start to the listen... although you could have led with attending Eton and I woulda got yer drift.

I guess if it pays well people are willing to go that extra mile.

I lied too, it didn't fill me.

Still billions in poverty. "My" system can solve that little issue within a decade and without tanking the economy. If you have nothing better, please return to your corner.

[unstuck]

Bastard, you hurt my feelings now.

[bogan]

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to." So if we all have to wait, I guess a corner is as good a place as any, right?
