<p>@Wartsandall…well, I don’t think anything is ever going to satisfy EVERYONE. Wal-Mart…let’s not get into that again.</p>
<p>Basically, I don’t have a problem with ethical, fair competition. Indeed, it’s what helps economics prosper (one thing that does). </p>
<p>I don’t think offering lower wages is inherently unethical. There could be many reasons to do so.</p>
<p>In alternative countries, individuals make pennies per day working for companies that supply the U.S. with products, something that I believe defies morality. I suppose it’s oriented around how much is considered “low.” “Low” could solely signify below minimum wage. In general though, I do agree that lower prices and competition can benefit the economy. However, there should be a designated ceiling and floor regarding the amount companies can offer products at.</p>
<p>Almost all of your questions can be answered by actually remembering what you wrote or reading back the previous page(s).</p>
<p>Unfortunately, false hope is given out to musicians, artists, blah blah blah. Sports isn’t as over-hyped given that it is one’s own responsibility to know his/her physical limits.</p>
<p>Mundane tone indicates lack of emotion, thus showing a sense of control. Something your words sometimes lack, by the way. Is it always best tone to use? No, yet it is an adequate tone for all situations.</p>
<p>There’s a difference between optimistic and idealistic. In fact, rather than being idealistic and then getting the dreams crushed (reminds me of Wilson), it is better to be on the doubtful side then rejoice to see the dream come true. It doesn’t matter who thinks what. What matters is what works to one’s style.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I meant what are you referring to specifically…but don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sports, though, specifically gives out false hope to inner-city kids and some of the kids with the toughest situations. Because there is that one superstar in many neighborhood who made it out. Seriously: Go watch “Hoop Dreams” NOW and you will see what I mean. Another good movie is “Sugar,” and though it’s fictional, I imagine the situation happens a lot. And yes, this can be true of artists and musicians as well. I think sports is just a dangerous one to bring up, as MOST people OVERESTIMATE their own ability, I’d say. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>First of all, this is an internet forum, so I don’t think the same rules apply. If I were writing a paper that I’d put a name on, I would write differently. Here, I think showing emotion helps, not hurts. And in other cases it can help too. Emotion is not bad…so honestly, I don’t care if my words “lack” your awesome qualities right now. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Funnily enough, I am on the doubtful side in terms of my own prospects. But I think optimism is great. It’s necessary. It’s helpful. There is no such thing as too much optimism to me. And once again, that doesn’t mean one can’t be realistic as well. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This doesn’t make any sense. I think it does matter what one thinks. Why are all this philosophy books written if it doesn’t matter? What if one’s style is evil and intrudes on another? I really don’t get these last two sentences.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I really don’t know too much about this. Obviously, there are things wrong with the system, which I don’t even begin to understand. Are you basically saying you are against monopolies? Against outsourcing–or just the poor treatment that comes with it?</p>
<p>I’m against child labor and lack of morality that is sometimes associated with foreign production. I am fond of the establishment of price ceilings and floors though, which essentially sets regulations towards companies regarding the maximum and minimum prices that they can sell goods and products for.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I imagine most people are against these things (like I am).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I would have to know more about this in order to make an informed decision.</p>
<p>That would be their own problem.</p>
<p>Yet another showing of your words lacking control. </p>
<p>If you read back a couple pages and linked your statements accordingly, you should be able to understand. But since you are getting to forgetful stage, let’s clarify. It doesn’t matter who thinks what about you, what matters is that you do it in such way that it fits your own style.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is so vague. I have no idea what you are referring to. This is not me being forgetful, but your inability to clarify and directly state what you are referencing. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What does this even mean? This is honestly the stupidest platitude I have ever seen.
“Fits your own style?” HUH?</p>
<p>If you actually bothered to look to link your statements to my statement, answer to answer, you would easily be able to answer both. Seeing how my answers are ordered chronologically to the way you asked, I have no further obligations to reference back. It is your refusal to move a couple pages back and actually read that hinders you at the moment.</p>
<p>Okay, fine, I’m lazy. But that last sentence is still extremely vague and virtually meaningless. Can you elaborate?</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter who thinks what about you. What matters is your own style in portraying yourself in the way that works for YOU.</p>
<p>^The use of the word “style” is interesting.</p>
<p>Well, the point is, what other thinks about you does matter. Even if it shouldn’t, it does. That doesn’t mean one should conform or anything, but one should be aware that how others see them will–and does–matter.</p>
<p>Portraying yourself? I think a more apt description would be BEING yourself. </p>
<p>Of course, do what works for you…as long as it doesn’t infringe upon the rights of others (Well, this is a WHOLE DIFFERENT discussion…not really sure how we got here).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s a regulation set forth towards companies to ensure that prices remain fair and competitive. This ultimately formulates a price ceiling and a price floor, which determine the maximum and minimum prices a company can sell goods and services for.</p>
<p>^But won’t that perhaps deter a company’s ability to advance itself? What concerns me is how it may limit corporations and companies that wish to further its progress…</p>
<p>They are initiated in consideration of the economy. A company will likely not be enabled to advance itself significantly if the economy is in a recession. A company’s success is a reflection of the economy. If consumers are solely capable of purchasing a certain amount of products, it would not be beneficial for the industry to compile a surplus of those goods.</p>
<p>One should be aware, yes. But what others say do not really matter at all. One could listen if one wishes to, yet it really does not matter.</p>
<p>There’s a big difference between portrayal of self and being self. I used the word portraying for a reason. Link back to previous statements and you will see why.</p>
<p>Okay. I disagree…but I’m done arguing with this. Because it DOES matter in many cases…and if it didn’t, why would you “portray” yourself instead of just be yourself?</p>
<p>This is an online forum.</p>
<p>^I didn’t even know what we were talking about online forums and not real-life because you are so vague. Whatever.</p>
