Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
frens i am truly conflicted. I know that money is the root of all evil. but money also buys motorcycles.
What buys motorcycles is your labor.
The love of money is the root of all evil. Love of money turns you into the criminals we are fighting now. I’m sure that’s not you. 🥴
And guns, ammo, food, fuel for the generators and fuel for the chainsaw and truck for the firewood that keeps us warm. So I guess it’s a necessary evil as they say
If you’ve worked hard, and you want to buy a motorcycle… Then buy one. Just be a good consumer and make sure you purchase a product that’s going to last. 👏👏👏 also be safe. Congrats.
That quote is not about money, but about how the money is obtained. Was it stolen, were you bribed or did you bribe another? Did you do insider trading? Did you pay a prostitute? Did you steal money in any way? Etc, etc. The money , and the motorcycle, are fine if you did no evil to obtain them. See?
Agreed..to add on though
Couldn't you heart be corrupted if you simply inherited money. There is no sin there but you could still love it...right?
ecclesiastes talks a lot about stuff like this.
Right on target with that, in my opinion.
