Cauthen - dont let anyone discourage your drive and determination... GI - I appreciate your concern for others but its pretty elitist and condescending to take the attitude that we need to protect the poor stupid southerners from themselves... Profit is not bad and did you know that up until the last couple decades - home mortgage rates were in the high teens low 20's... Was that immoral?? Is it immoral for a furniture maker to build a couch that cost $50 yet sell for $1000?? A designer to make jeans that cost $2 and yet sell for $200.. How about the actors that love to preach liberal BS - yet make millions - freaking pretending to be someone they aren't... How is THAT not immoral???
My point is that everything is relative and to judge someone and believe that you are somehow superior is immoral in my opinion...
Dont take this personally.. I disagree with your opinion but we need to learn in this country that you can vehemently disagree on issues but its NOT personal and doesn't mean that you dislike the man..
you know i have quite a bit of history in lending industries.
i genuinely hate the money mentality. it is very much responsible for the state of our world, to me its sad, but more too.
people have given me shit for a long time because i help people for free, various gf's etc. i do lots of work and spend lots of time helping people that are hurt or sick that regular medicine dose nothing for.
regular medicine with dr's who live in big houses and drive expensive cars, people who do nothing new or creative or useful with there life, useful like you couldn't teach a monkey or computer to do the same job.
i actually get progress that dr's could not get, yet the dr is paid and im here with thank yous on a computer screen...
i feel hurt and sick when people put money before what is right, often those types of people are the first to bitch and complain too, and not pay for free helping services.
we do all have to eat, but there are different ways to do it.
i have worked in lots of shady things, mtg industry to me is far shadier and less honorable then the illegal areas i have been involved in. at least in those people don't complain so much when things go past words...
i hate when sponsors cut corners or use cheaper products in order to make more money, im sure you guys do too. how many of you though are willing to make less to do right by all? i live my answer every day even when its hard.
regarding the car dealership...
i don't have a problem with the type of dealership, it is what it is.
i have met some real scumbags that have places like that and make lots of money with them, they are genuinely shitty people, the kind who deserve horrible things. i have also met people that do a decent business. i think you can have a reasonably honorable business doing this, just depends on the individual.
just remember to treat people how you would like to be treated.
