I dont think Ive ever read such hippie-based nonsense in many a year! You might like to think that 'all you need is love', but money is what pays the way. This has been an eye-poppingly stupid collection of wishy-washy loser-based talk that tries to imagine some utopian ideal where an economy is not important - as if such a thing is important. And to the complete idiot who thinks Bhutan is a 'happiness-based economy' then I reserve the best of my mocking laughter.

I cant beleive some of the rubbish you people have sprouted. I knew vegy was dumb but I actually thought some of her comments had the occasional merit. but today her comments were a low point on an exceptionally low measuring scale.

I dont know what you people need most - a brain or a dollar. My guess is you have neither.

Just pointing out that some countries don't go along with the capitalist culture of the west. They have other ideas of what makes good, stable and happy people. Not everyone lives for the almighty dollar, and neither should they.

and so speaks a poor person. it's always the same. the poor say money isnt important - while shovelling down as much welfare as they can. And how about you list some of those happy non-socialist countries for us?

Why when someone disagrees with your point of view do they all of a sudden become poor and on social security benefits?

The working class are the new poor, with 10% of the citizen's in the USA having the entirety of the wealth. Who made them rich? the ordinary, average working class person. Besides, wealth is usually a matter of circumstances, not good planning.

All things in moderation, especially money.

poor person thinking - pure and simple. This is a classic:

Quote:

Wealth is actually almost ALWAYS from risk, hard work and enterprise. it is almost NEVER accidental.

Where would the goverment get the money to pay for people on welfare if you didn't have a stable and secure society.

Money doesn't grow on trees you know.

Stay tuned for "Jillya and the Greens stalk", By Mellie ...because I love a happy ending too with Rudds 6 lodge chickens laying golden eggs for us to prop up our economy.

And we all starved to death happy ever after....~The End~

There should be a 'neither' option. Because I don't believe the government should be in the business of managing our lives or our trade with one another. I'm not of the old-school, early-mid 20th century European belief that everything needs to be managed by a central authority of a handful of elites. They tried that and it failed. Whereas you look at somewhere like Hong Kong where the British Empire basically sat back and drank tea, as a result Hong Kong became one of the most prosperous and fastest growing places in the world. So neither the economy or society should be important to the government. National defense and basic rule of law are all they needs to concern themselves with. Apart from that, the rest of us can manage things. We don't need big brother looking over our shoulders and breathing down our necks.
