What I am taliking about is what you see everywhere, whenever you go into a convinient store/supermarket/mall.
Its all of the psychological tricks they try to use so that you can spend more of your money. Consumer psychology, all of this which funny enough my girl-friend studies at the university, I find this morally wrong. To play on peoples sub-conscious, feed on their weaknesses just so that company can increase their capitol, while at the same time over pricing goods and paying minimum wages for the emplyees.
Yet most people, even though they themselves are victims of this, seem not to care about it. Why?I dont understand it?
People who work in these places, students whos major are related to this and just people in general, they just dont care!
Is it not possible to have a society based on honesty and education,
rather then ignorance and explotation and still be in business?
Why must we exlpoit and deceive each other? Why should we contribute to this mess? to hell with them!

I once heard a lecturer state that "the greatest victory for someone who conducts a propaganda campaign would be to make losers feel like winners." How do you interpret this assertion? Serious answers only, please.

We have mostly focused on negative things about these people. There must be something good about them too. After all they are human. They can't be 100% bad. Maybe they have some exceptional qualities... What are your thoughts?

Altruism and other cooperative behaviors of living beings clearly reveal that the theory of evolution is invalid. The actual reason for this is natural selection, the mechanism upon which Darwin based this theory. According to this mechanism, those living things that are better adapted to their habitat will survive, whereas those that are unfit and weak will be eliminated. Thus there is no room for cooperation, only competition between organisms. However, we see that nature is not an environment in which only the strong survives and where a merciless struggle for existence continues.
All living beings hunt in order to survive, and fight to protect themselves. Apart from this, however, many organisms also practice unselfish concern to protect their offspring or risk their own lives for the safety of the larger population. Nature provides us with many examples of different species defending the interests of each other.

That is what I noticed and I also noticed that people who are very spiritual are often times not wealthy in terms of money.

I am a Christian and I enjoy owning businesses, stocks, investment properties and traveling around the world in my private jet. Is it a sin for me to live so lavishly if I am an honest and hard worker who is a self-made millionaire?

Theoretically, a "half-truth" consists of one part lie and one part truth. Literally, is it not just a lie?
