Right. Sorry about that. I didn't mean to generalize or anything. It's more like I'm not really good in putting my opinion on English so mistakes like this happens. It can be fixed by simply adding "some of" somewhere. Thanks for pointing that

mchack: But what's interesting in that context is that money (as in banking industry) doesn't make people more honest, quite the opposite. As has been shown in this paper (published in Nature).

...However, when their professional identity as bank employees is rendered salient, a significant proportion of them become dishonest.This effect is specific to bank employees because control experiments with employees from other
industries and with students show that they do not become more dishonest when their professional identity or bank related items are rendered salient. Our results thus suggest that the prevailing business culture in the banking industry weakens and undermines the honesty norm...

That's interesting. Well, can't say I disagree with it. I think money is a tool. Some of them are needed to get happiness. It's hard to be happy when you have to struggle day by day just to have something to eat.

But more money doesn't mean you're automatically happy. I have two friends, each got married to a nice girl from rich family, My friends, despite their wives being good people, got so many problems with their in laws, and almost every problem is related to money.

I also met some really rich people in the past. Some of them even own a factory or two. I rarely see them genuinely happy. Even my ex-boss (a factory owner) seems suffer more than I did when I worked for him.

I don't think it is about the money, but rather the in-equality in punishment for misuse of it.

As mentioned, money is a tool in the banking industry:

Now think of, you use a hammer trying to extort money/whatever off somebody, what is the punishment, Especially if you really used the hammer? various a bit, but like 10y+

Or you use a hammer to rob somebody (again real us of it), gets you as well 10y+

BUT the banking industry is doing the same and are only getting slaps on their hands. IMHO banking industry shall be treated the same way as organized crime (examples? UBS helping with tax evasion, foreclosures and so on)


Just my 2 cents

You really want to give those games away, don't you? Thanks for your dedication to giving!

I'm in for "7,62 High Calibre".

Relationship: Availability is a big issue (just kidding.....)
Becoming lazy and demanding after you finally have someone, can kill any relation. Like people said in previous posts, if you are selfish and care only about yourself, you just don't deserve to be in a relationship.

I don't remember who, but a famous quote says: "One loves and the other just lets them love"
