as you please.
When you want to have something just to have it.
it's a virtue.
It makes people rich.
Greed is a bottomless pit.
I want something from you, for my own personal gain.
I want to deprive you of it, regardless of what it will do to you.
An addiction and never ending cycle.
Greed sums up all big business.
That's capitalism for you.Quote:

It's all about profits, human well being and planetary sustainability are 2nd, or 3rd after profits.
Thanks to the loveley monetary system of credit we currently are enslaved by today.
Hooray for evil credit...
Capitalism isn't the only greed ridden economic system, any system of payment or debt, or profit, will breed greed.Quote:

Never being satisfied with what you have. Always wanting more.
Basic human nature to some extent.

Human nature is not greedy, the nature of MONEY is greed people!
Money makes us evil, not our 'nature'
We were not born evil, or born greedy, we became greedy, we became evil, we became corrupted by our fucked up society and our demented environment of human development.
( did not mean to bash the last poster, i just had to bash the human nature is greedy quote )
Good job going on and on and on trying to prove me wrong. Wait, I mean bad job. I said, "basic human nature to some extent". I didn't go on further because I thought humans were smart enough to understand what I meant. Plus, money comes from people. People make money. Money is a product of greed. Not the other way around. Without money, there would be greed for other things. So, you're wrong. I never said human nature is greedy, either. That's just worded weird. Makes sense though, since you seem weird.Quote:

Just look at your post.... You are messed up. Or just a teenager. Obviously onew of the typical hate the government, hate all, conspiracy freak that needs to open your eyes to the real world.
It is human nature to want excessive amounts of things, since in order for us to survive before, and still after the discovery of agriculture, we needed to hoard and constantly obtain food and tools in order to continue living.
Greed is just a nasty term for it that people like to use on other people who are in powerful positions with lots of money because they are jealous to some extent.
