Hi there.
Again it seems it comes down to you and me Jenae, everybody is giving their opinion and not passing jugement, exept you it seems, i go with the moto that quality is better than quantity in most cases anyway, i'd rather post when i feel i have something to contribute, rather than just bullshit and antagonize others because they have different beliefs or convictions, because i don't l like it when i get antagonizes or lied to.
That being said, every time i heard someone say "business is business" it was always to JUSTIFY a DISPICABLE act they comitted, as an example:
Two guys are in competing businesses, M. A has lots of money and little scrupules, the other M. B is an honest business man that offers a good product at a resonable price, M. A undercuts him and puts him out of business just so that he could increase his prices to screw everybody out of more money for his product.
Then M. A sais to M. B: Why are you mad? BUSINESS IS BUSINESS.
Who is right?
Well, what if it was Mr B that would have put M. A out of business, M. A probably would shoot M. B, because you can't discociate yourself from your actions or your reactions you are not 2 people but only one person, and anybody on the recieving end of "BUSINES IS BUSINESS" will corectfully take it personally, because it is personnal, IT IS THEIR LIVELYHOOD, anybody that disagrees with that has never been on the recieving end of it, or are complete ASSHOLES.
And you are probably right about the 3 tybes of people in business, but there is a fourth kind that you'll probably never see in business, the "nice guy" that would say that he'll give a good deal and mean it, but this guy would not make it in this fucked up dog eat dog business world, where everybody wants to be a TRILLIONNAIRE (10 to the 12 power, not a billion but a toughsand billions), irregardless of the consequences, to others AND themselves, and like i said in my previous post, when you do something good you feel good, and when you do something bad you feel bad, but it goes deeper than that, when you do something bad it hurts and wounds your soul, remember what "Jacob Markey" said to Ebenizer Scrooge? not about the 3 spirirs that were to be visiting him but the chains that he had "forged" in his life and the one Scrooge was still hard at work forging?
Hey, i was just voicing my annoyance with the limit, i didn't want to go into an heavy phylosophical discussion ethics and business.
And the internet was originally designed by hobbyists and was designed for the FREE exchange of information, not for businesses to monopolize, but it was inevitable, now the internet is all about money, money and money, and very little usefull and benificial content, now that's sad.
And about the bandwith thing, more people visiting the site = more advertizing revenue, when done properly, but there is a balance between content and advertizing; there should be much more content than advertizing, TV is a good example, even though there is a bit too much advertising, same of it very unethical, but nobody does anything about it and nothing changes.
Oh yeah, it sais this thread has been moved, WHERE?
