Give Us A Ring" where the public are encouraged to report people who flash wealth around -on the assumption that its is all through illgotten means - I wonder how many false reports that they have received, or in your case how many tickets on you that Blizzard received because people assumed it was ill gotten.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-13488713668001364612009-05-14T03:16:00.000+02:002009-05-14T03:16:00.000+02:00I would feel a bit skeptical about taking advise f...I would feel a bit skeptical about taking advise from a businessman that gives adivice to many people.

Witchcraft isn't real, whereas corrupt business practices are. Just because one allegation is false, it doesn't make the other one false too.<br /><br />That's not to say that false accusations of corruption don't happen, just that you can't dismiss all such accusations that way.Svenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07968080562561684936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-16212897908111797142009-05-13T19:00:00.000+02:002009-05-13T19:00:00.000+02:00Your entry is an interesting way to look at witchc...Your entry is an interesting way to look at witchcraft as you don't seem to judge people that persecute others for being "witches" or whatnot. I guess people's willful ignorance and inability to think outside the box contribute to persecution.HPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11762532904788031568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-49000170080062282202009-05-13T18:48:00.000+02:002009-05-13T18:48:00.000+02:00You're problem is that you're taking advan...You're problem is that you're taking advantage of the M&S and so are the witch hunters too. Those people know full well how you make your money and they know very well that its not witchcraft. <br />These people want your money and they dupe the M&S into taking it from you. The same M&S who will never check the price of crystallized life verses eternal life don't bother to check the witch hunter's story, and instead follow their emotion and attack the business men. <br />You could show how you you make your money in detail and in plain English to them and it wouldn't matter. They attack you because the 1) Witch hunter wants your money<br />2) The M&S resent you<br />3) He can dupe the M&S into taking it from you<br />4) The M&S will never listen to you<br />5) Nothing you say will stop them, better to hire securityUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096632088540735022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-45493809590293307832009-05-13T16:00:00.000+02:002009-05-13T16:00:00.000+02:00The solution is teaching.

If the African women would tell the other villagers that "My cousin just four days ago wrote me in a mail that the wheat price is X in her village, so I immediately pack my donkeys and travel there to sell some", the others would:<br /><br />understand where her wealth would come, so they would not think of witchcraft<br />would also be able to sell some crops so they would not be so poor (the whole society would progress)<br />would learn that "asking around prices helps", so their business skills would improve<br />would see the businesswomen as valuable source of information instead of competitors (= evil ones = witches)<br /><br /></I>No, instead they would be accused of unfair competition, monopoly, and other things, and beaten, and robbed for that. You overestimate humanity by a fairly considerable margin if you think that hatred of the better off will not continue just because someone learns why they are better off. <br /><br /><br />And, no, learning that information, won't spur them to follow the old woman's actions. It will just make them hate her more because she knew and they didn't. Humanity is always more interested in tearing down the successful than in being successful. The path of least resistance, and all that.teflaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12858992182120624497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-91820905146246799992009-05-13T14:09:00.000+02:002009-05-13T14:09:00.000+02:00@Gevlon:

I don't hear anyone blaming those on my server who make the gold for all their problems.<br /><br />@OkraneS:<br />If people are laid off or fired because their company leaders were idiots who made illogical choices, then yes, you can blame those leaders. In the U.S. though, it's not just the banks. It's a society of people who want it all and want it now coupled with banks who wanted to give it to them (with a nice interest rate of course). Both were morons.<br /><br />As for the politicians, we elect them. People don't necessarily stand up when they think something is wrong anymore or look too far into a candidates ideals. They are happy because they have their big screen TV, new car in the driveway and a big house. And that is their fault, not the politicians.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12338876497982816123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-84293345399161020292009-05-13T13:44:00.000+02:002009-05-13T13:44:00.000+02:00In modern society this could be also extended to p...In modern society this could be also extended to people always blaming politicians and big companies for their problems. <br /><br />Not necessarily conspiracy theories but the common thought that the leaders hurt general welfare for their personal gain.<br /><br />This is linked to a certain need of a kind of society members to transfer the fault of their own failure from themselves to an exterior factor. I failed, not because of my incompetence but because of some evil forces working against me. Makes failure easier to bear.<br /><br />However these "witch" claims are not always that far away from the truth...Quicksilverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02514588622395952812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-78729685062326635752009-05-13T13:13:00.000+02:002009-05-13T13:13:00.000+02:00@anonymous: they are already undercutting somewher...@anonymous: they are already undercutting somewhere.
