QUOTE (blaarg @ Nov 21 2007, 02:35 PM)  I disagree. I think that money isn't the only factor but is a substantial one. Let me rephrase...you have two very kind hearted humanitarian beings. One has a lot of money, the other doesn't. I would say that the one who is more able financially to help out would be able to reach more people... *ahem* Mother Teresa... 'nuff said. QUOTE And all I'm arguing is a lot more good could come from 1000000 dollars than a single vote. Why do you think otherwise? Because I still value that principle of having a voice in the democratic process. But hey, Democracy is soooooooooo last year, amirite? -------------------- |

QUOTE (Testm0nkey @ Nov 21 2007, 02:33 PM) people with the most money arent typically the people who do the most good works you can make a huge difference being in poverty. you dont need a lot of money to do a lot of good. money is a very small factor in that .... .... ... since when have you seen a poverty stricken person donate 60 million out of their own pocket to fight aids? sorry... but that 60 million goes alot further than volunteering on the weekend. and i don't know how much contact you have with "poverty stricken" but most of the people i know in that situation have a lot more to worry about for themselves than for others. you may be thinking of the lower middle class as "poverty" there sugar tits --------------------  QUOTE (Jessica @ May 7 2007, 01:15 PM) but yeehaw dammit.

But hey, Democracy is soooooooooo last year, amirite? you're right that is why I said money is a substantial factor, not the only one... yes there are exceptions where people spend their whole lives helping others, but I would imagine that both you and I are not these type of people. We're the types (I'm assuming you as well from what you have said) who like to volunteer our time and give a small percentage of what we have to helping others. I guess you value your voice in democracy more than the potential of helping out more people that you currently are. Again, I find this to possibly be true up to a point (again using the example that if hypothetically someone was dying but you could save them if you gave up the right to vote...I know its an impossibility but I am trying to make a point). --------------------  |

i still dont believe that. i think actually working hand in hand with people in need, them seeing you be there and see you caring about what you are doing is worth way more than writing a blank check for a nameless organization.
it definitely seems like thats true -------------------- Little monkeys making money
