Bottle 9 - A quote…
In class, thinking… Not much of a bottle… Just thought I would throw this overboard and see what people think.
Competition furthers humanity, fuels greed, and gives people reason to shine.

I am not sure if I like the fuels greed part as it kind of contradicts the “furthers Humanity” part and “gives ppl reason to shine” unless you think greed is a positive thing. I don’t. That’s my take on it. Glad you are thinking.

Not like greed is bad. Seriously, it’s just been changed into such a negative word. I mean, greed is essentially just acting in your own self interest right? You are always acting in your own self interest.
Good quote.

i think the greed part makes sence cause in competition ppl get really greedy to win. right?.. but i dont know.
good thinking

Lol, the reason I put greed in there is because greed is a good thing. Essentially without greed, capitalism wouldn’t work because no one would have a reason to do well and further humanity. Thus it also links with my third point, “gives people reason to shine” because as I said, no greed=no incentive. And if there is no incentive government regulation is needed.

But since people pretty much always have incentive to do what is in their own self interest, there should be pretty much no government regulation. At least, a lot less then there is now.

dude, that’s original? far out, one might go as far as to say “gnarley” or the ever once-loved “bodacious” *makes hand gesture and udders gnarley under my breath for gnarley*
your quote is missing the ever missed exaggeration, what it do baby, what it do? (jace on can translate for you)

greed /y/ - adjective - ravenous, varacious, gluttonous, avaricious, covetous, rapacious; eager, keen, intensely desirous (to do) Hence - _____ily adv. or _____iness noun
Okay so it’s got a bad rap. I cease and desist. I loved all the thinking that went on. That was fun. Do another one. We could have a debate blog. Anyone know of one?
