Money=Happiness

commy...


okay the only problem with comunism is that you can be a manager of a HUGE corporation and the guy who is a lazy bum and doesn't do anything... he doesn't EVEN WORK! and still gets the same amount of money as you... explian the benifits of that!

[SARCASM]oh,no what will i do... im in the shooting ring... [/SARCASM]

I think money can by temporary happiness, but not prolonged happiness. Of course you can be happy with material posessions, that is why we are able to have them. But eventualy those posessions will fade away. Thats one of the biggest and longest asked questions in the world; What is the answer to prolonged happiness?

 

Actually you can buy love. Find somebody who loves money. You have a lot of money. So they love your money. And since they love your money, they love you.

The subconscious argument can be used both ways, Zerieth.

 

HAHAHA MAN, your funny... they only love you until they get your money then the money is all they love. for future reference: (if someone cleverly says: well then you won't give up the money.) my answer is: it doesn't matter... they (the "lover") is sending all thier time loving the money... not you. as soon as you lose the money, you lose your love. becuase they want your money.

BTW there is a reason when you get married that they say "will you stay true to your lover when you are rich or poor" true love is when you love someone with money or no money... a concept you could never grasp.

 

That last comment is a little out of line, ansem. Good rule of thumb. Never assume a person agrees with the statements they make in a debate. Debate the points, not the person. There's no reason to infer what he can or cannot grasp.

Now, back on subject. The point that yes, while there are things in life that don't neccessarily cost money, there are things money can do to ensure your happiness that in our society are not possible without it. I'm very much in love with someone. I did not pay for her. She cost me nothing. And she doesn't even like having money spent on her. But she makes me very happy. All in all, that's a happiness money didn't bring me.

However, she and I live in different cities. In different states. Right now, our relationship has gone as far as it can go. And I am not satisfied with that. I am doing everything in my power to move. You think I can just jump in my car and go there on a whim and everything works out ok? No. I need to get a house. I need a job waiting on me. I need a house to live in. I need to be able to get all my stuff there. This requires money. $3000 as a matter of fact. But being near her, and being able to take our relationship as far as it can go, would make me a very happy man. If I fail in my attempt to earn it, and thus move to be near her, I becme a very unhappy man indeed.

Therefore, $3000 can in fact buy my happiness.

 

see, i never siad money wasn't important... i just siad that it can't buy happiness (like you) and it's possible that people find thier significant other and find true happiness... but money doesn't do that... it helps... but it doesn't give true happiness.

and as for the whole marriges thing... ill save that for another debate...

 

Money can buy love. Or sex. Or whatever you prefer.

Money can buy a nice house. Or condo. Or whatever you prefer.

Money can buy some a nice car. Or plane. Or whatever you prefer.

Money can get everything we like these days. Games (OMG IF THERE WAS NO MONEY THAT MEANS NO KH!), cars, women, nice seats for a football game. Take your pick.

 

Debates = serious >=C

And nobody reads OP's now anyway.

 

Money doesn't necessarily equal happiness but they are so closely related that sometime's it is hard to tell. Alot of people say "Love is true happiness" which isn't true for everyone. Some people just want nice things to be happy and thats ok too. Whatever truly makes you happy, wether it involves money or not, is still happiness.

 

She's not being rude, she's doing her job. And she's right. She's not saying you can't have fun. She's saying that the debates are meant to be serious discussions. We have other forums and other topics for joking around.

 

Money can be somewhat happeniness. But some people don't have it for many reasons because they don't have a job and can't get one or not able to it.

And she is not being rude guys, she is a moderator you know and mods are post to do that. For example a fun place to have fun is in the Forum Games.

 

I have to agree that Toph (though she was right) was a bit harsh, but back on topic?!

In regards to what Zenrot said, he does have a point. While money can mean happiness for some people, it doesn't for others.
