They know that deep down inside people are selfish and what they want most is to

"feel good."

To which I responded, so what? If they do good, great.

Is it just that you don't want some people to have more money than others? Is that your problem? Do you think that rich people are bad?

Here's a real life example, maybe you can point out what the problem is...I own a business, for arguments sake, let's say I sell flags. I employ people, I pay taxes (a portion of which goes to social programs), I pay salaries. My employees spend their money as they see fit, some on themselves, some on others. Now along comes Slash and his army and everyone decides that buying a flag is bad. My business goes down the crapper. My employees get laid off so now they have no money to spend on anything other than what they absolutely need. For that matter, neither do I. So there go my corporate taxes, I now collect unemployment, and maybe I'm one of the homeless who's hoping for some help. Yes, money makes the world go round, spending is a good thing. And what logical argument is there that just because people are buying flags they're not also giving to the homeless?

Fez posted: FU to idiots who don't know the difference between patriotism and a dollar -

I think by know we've seen those "The American sprit collection" commercials where a bunch of idiots from New Jersey are trying to market off of Sept. 11. In the package they sell a clip on [to your car) flag, a flag with "God bless America" or something of the sort, and a few crap pins.

But wait! 15% of the proceeds go to disaster relief!

Scumbags. You don't market patriotism.

But here I am the other day in midtown and on every 20th car or so I see the
flags attached to the cars. Don't you people realize you are making people rich from patriotism? These people aren't Americans, they're filthy scum who'll do anything for a buck!

I guess you ultimately believe that people only care about themselves.

Well, in that case you're hanging out with the wrong people.
