You blew my mind. We were just discussing the philosophy of relativity in English class on Monday 
It involves the cognitive aspect of relativity, which rejects the theory for correspondence of truth. It states that concepts and thoughts are only relative to the point of view perceiving it.
Species of trees may Look similar, but each tree contains a different compositions of atoms.
What about the statement, 'Fifi is big'? Again, it's relative how big Fifi can be. Maybe Fifi is a mouse? Then they appear small to us. Maybe Fifi is an elephant? Then Fifi's size is relative to both points of view.
In the end, I'd depends on how you look at it.
I may not have much money, but I feel rich better to be a delusional idealist than a pragmatic nihilist in my perspective.

Depends on how tight your profit margin is.
Do you have any idea what the profit margin is in most businesses that employ minimum wage losers? It aint shit.
Too bad everyone isn't a 50 something "winner" that spends the majority of his time posting his politicial beliefs on drug related message boards to people that really don't give a shit. What the fuck makes you a winner? A fat bank account? Some of the biggest fucking losers I know are wealthy. There are some dinners that pay people less than minimum wage that make really good money, though most businesses in the food industry don't make a lot. You are such a miserable human being, I would rather be a poor fuck up than you.

I thought we were talking about business in general. I would never be stupid enough to run a business that required minimum wage labor unless it was a major franchise with lots of corporate backing like McDonalds or something... anything else is living dangerously; The smallest change in your market could put you out of business in no time flat. That seems like a really stressful way to live, and I don't like stress.
If your product is in so little demand that you cannot afford to pay a living wage to your employees, perhaps you should consider a different line of business.
Oh so those people with the minimum wage jobs should be living in your mom's basement with you after their employer fucks off?
No, there should be businesses who employ unskilled, minimum wage employees. I am just stating that I would never do it. The turnover rate is high, the stress level is high, you don't know if you are still going to be in business next week, let alone next month. Not my cup of tea.
I am self employed, 33 years old and supporting 5 kids (two from a previous marriage) on my income, so regarding your comment about my moms basement, yeah.... you can just fuck off entirely with that shit, m'kaaay?

OK fair enough. The should be living in your mom's basement without you.

Sounds good to me. Who knows, maybe she is a cougar? They might have fun in that basement.

My mother is long dead but I suspect I would know if she had been a cougar. It isn't something you can keep secret for long especially if the entire landscaping crew is taking turns like she's a door knob

Your previous posts, plus this one make me wish I had a dad like you growing up. So tender, so caring. Absolutely in tune with life, and all things balanced. Man, you must be a great dad.

I think a larger percentage of Americans are un-motivated schmucks who make horrendous financial decisions and have no concept of the value of a dollar, coupled with a complete inability to project for the future.
Sure, minimum wage sucks. Pumping out three kids by age 22 and burying yourself in a mountain of debt isn't very helpful either. The vast majority of the whining pussies I see bitching about the low wages and high cost of living fall firmly into that category.

Well, at least you don't pretend to be something you are not, sVs. I applaud that. Your signature title seems 100% accurate.
