Have you ever met someone in the work place who is successful and nice, by what I mean is two faced or the likes. I know some people who are reasonably wealthy and are alright, however generally money appears to (on top of other problems) make people insufferably arrogant and contemptuous towards their fellow man...   Funny how you half agree, but at the end of the day you say you'd go part of the way. I want a decent living but I struggle and strive to avoid becoming one of the leeches that I know (and that I see friends turning into) as they desperately slither after as many bucks as they can cram into their maw. Whew... I'm sounding a little extreme but hey... my words have flights don't they? Quite. Aye it'd have been better if Candle in the Wind (pt2) had never been written!!! |

Mate, I think we need to meet for a beer - would make for interesting debate. Is it wrong to be a success, and whatever you say we are different animals at work. To want the best for your partner family etc., because no ones going to give you the leg up you have to earn it. Tell you what really fucks me off - no I'll save that for the beer  |

Tell you what really fucks me off - no I'll save that for the beer Aye fair enough... though I find beer makes me less articulate! I'll see what I can do though. I'm better writing than talking on these matters. Define "success" - if you mean wealthy at a significant cost to other people's health wealth and happiness then I'd say yes. In principle, and hopefully in practice. Obviously I don't disagree with your commitment to your family. As for "earning" - that's again a matter of debate, I'm sure you see what I mean there. Heh okay it can wait, as long as you aren't a violent drinker! |

Thats what makes it fun!
Success, in my eyes is to be comfortable - which means money is not a concern - so you have to earn circa £50K if you have a family in tow. But on your own the £35K bracket should see you right!
No I don't do violence, and hope I've not given that impression here

Hmmm must admit I've not thought that hard about it, but I think that is achievable personally without having to screw anyone over... course I guess we're among the luckier ones... Nah mate no worries, just pointing out that some people change when they're drunk! One of my best mates is like that, fortunately though he only gets verbally angry... |

It's what happens when you embrace capitalism - it's not always up, up, up. Or would you prefer China to still be communist? The Communist Party of China (CPC) has led the PRC under a one-party system since the state's establishment in 1949.  |

The Communist Party of China (CPC) has led the PRC under a one-party system since the state's establishment in 1949. This is true, but to what extent can China truly be called Communist? If the difference between communist and capitalist countries is a neconomic one, the China ceased being a communist state in the mid-1990's when it abandoned it's Marxist economic policies and adopted a neo-liberal market based economy. Therefore China cannot be called a communist state (no matter how much it claims otherwise) but in actuality a capitalist dictatorship. To paraphrase: Shovng feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken. |
