[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5579268, member: 24302"] Because you don't have to work to get rich, just pay your rent, etc. Selling drugs harms others. If you do that because it pays you better than working at McDonald's and don't care about the harm you are causing then you're a scumbag. You indulge in fantasies that there's an economic system where everyone is paid well with minimal effort and get a long list of great benefits. But the greedy capitalists are keeping us from it. The reason there's plenty to buy in supermarkets and other stores and people have money to get what they need is capitalism. If you want more than that then get busy coming up with something that people will want to pay for and you can enjoy the benefits of capitalism too. You seem to forget there's not one country on Earth that's practicing strict socialism and is prospering. Not one. If what you have to offer works so well then go to Africa and convince them of it so that they may start prospering. Put your money where your mouth is. Instead you want to destroy everything that does work. It's better to be poor than to ever sell drugs. Period. Says to me when you talk about easy money your whole deal is envy and resentment of the rich. Grow up. [USER=65823]@BrownFlush[/USER] how's that for an essay instead of just ignoring it? [/QUOTE]
