Reasons not to be poor in no order at all:

1. Buying anything you want. Money helps you do this. This breaks down into some important sub-sections:
a: Cars - Cars are rad!
b: Massive houses like the ones on the telly - Massive houses like the ones on the telly are rad!
c: Everything else you want: Being able to buy everything else you want is rad! NB: Everything else includes colour changing Dreamcast hardware.

2. Girls: If you're not poor, the niceness level of the girls you can have generally goes up. Having girls with a high niceness level is rad!

3. Bragging and generally feeling superior. Although money generally corrupts, the world ignores this fact. This means that if you have a load of money, everyone will forget that you have it at the expense of those who have little or nothing and die of starvation and disease across much of the world. Being able to brag and feel generally superior is rad! Especially when everyone forgets that you have it at the expense of those who have little or nothing and die of starvation and disease across much of the world.

So are you bitter or enlightened?

No donut!
Sorry, money and what it *actually means conceptually* has been bothering me of late. I have a satirical imbalance. Read my tag. A close friend of mine went crazy recently about money – It’s a massive cliché but it is actually, actually the root of all evil. But everyone pretends it isn’t and even though you know that being rich is at the direct expense of those less fortunate, you still don’t care and covet money/goods/etc.
 
Saying money is the root of all evil is just so cliche and dumb.. Money is just one aspect of power and power is what drives people immoral. Even without money someone is bound to have power and go immoral, so why not regulate it in some way (i.e. $$$)?

But if the sole manifestation of power is money (and has been since we can out of the trees) aren't they exactly the same thing?

Not really, because getting rid of money will not create an equal distribution of power. It's a shortsighted assumption, it's like saying aerosol sprays are the reason behind the hole in the ozone whereas the root of the problem is human ignorance.. We, humans, are despicable creatures with really awful tendencies, with or without money, we will continue to oppress each other by any other means available.

Think of it this way, all animals vie against each other for dominance and for mating rights to better breeding stock. Humans, however, are born with a small penis complex and such immoral tendencies that they have to be restrained through threats of future punishment by a superpower, in addition to this instinct. What you have as a result can be called a freak of nature at best..

1. I’m not suggesting/proposing we get rid of it. Just lamenting the fact that this situation exists.
2. There is no equal distribution of anything. That’s the point.

Yeah, I get your point. Maybe there will be a fairer distribution one day, but currently there's nothing one can do but adapt and move on. It sucks to be an American I guess. You vote for Liberals, the rich get richer. If you vote for Democrats - surprise, the rich get richer. Not that Europe is any better, but at least you have social democrats and people like that who actually bother to pretend that they care :D
 
Hold on guys/gals.

It may be 1499.99 but if you scroll to the bottom of the screen it says "Please contact us for current price".

I got a feeling it is way cheaper than that now.
