It is dishonest, and not conducive to any rational discussion.
bae, you are right. I'm sorry if i sometimes rub the wrong way. I just get so tired of the same old arguments. And to be honest, you sometimes have a way of twisting people's meanings to mean something else.

You know I believe in people getting paid for their work, and I'm guessing you haven't lived your entire life secluded on your island, so you've seen successful not for profit business. You know everyone makes a good living and they work. Not socialist, or some evil, subversive creep of communism, or whatever.
This world, and even this country is full of successful, purposeful enterprise that isn't for profit. Profit really isn't the end all to beat all. Just a stroll through these forums here will show you that. There really are bigger things out there than profit.
Now I'm not at all opposed to profit. I am an American through and through and think capitalism is a wonderful thing, where appropriate. And there is plenty for investors to make loads of money in. There just shouldn't be a profit in playing god.
