It's an incredibly outdated system. People go hungry while others have so much money they literally don't know what to do with it, we over produce, thousands of tons of food gets thrown away every year in the U.S. alone, there are major water shortages yet people waste water because they can just fucking buy more, people grow up thinking that the keys to success is money and learn nothing of values because of it, and we have directly lead to the extinction of hundreds of species and, before the turn of the century, it will be in the millions if not billions. And this happens because the only thing that matters in the grand scheme of things is profit.
We were better off trying to please gods.
I really do fucking hate our economics. Both the holy bible and Buddha said the desire of money is the root of evil and tthe source of suffering. We put it on a pedestal and now corruption igorance and sorrow has run rampant on the world. If it doesn't change it will be our downfall.
That is a fuckin sexy wall of text. 
Could not have said that better Meself.

Too bad Cookie isnt straight. Oh well, cant have Christina Agularia either so..... 
I would agrue yes money can be the root of most evil, but all evil? i wouldnt go that far. Too much Power corrupts as well.
Well to be fair Buddha actually said DESIRE is the source of all suffering. And I think the true meaning of both phrases is that wanting what you do not already have, wanting more than what you have, and wanting what you cannot have is going to make you unhappy and it is motivation and justification for people to do things they should not. Money is just the biggest material cause for desire. But I think the true meaning of the phrases were meant to include love, sex, accomplishment, recognition, and pretty much anything human beings desire. Conveniently money is seen as a way to get most of these.
I think it's too bad I'm not straight sometimes too.

What's bad about mindfulness? It's a very good and effective meditation practice.
it's not that mindfulness is intrinsically bad. it's a good idea. but most bad ideas are rooted in good ones.
when i speak of "mindfulness" i'm referring to the new tactic that workplaces employ to conceal that fact that things are shitty for their workers by flipping the script on them. it's not that the company could be doing things better; it's that there's something wrong with you as an employee because you aren't reacting properly to the work environment. therefore, you should be "mindful", accept your circumstances and shut the fuck up.
positive thinking is useful only when it provides existential clarity. often, things aren't as bad as we perceive them to be, and having a better attitude can help us see them as they really are. but positive thinking taken to this extreme achieves the opposite of that goal, and it enforces a culture where dissent is viewed as "negativity". i have yet to see an organization benefit from this stuff, but i have seen plenty of utterly corrosive things follow from it like high turnover, group think and outright failure to perform.
if you really want to be mindful, always be prepared to challenge underlying assumptions, whether they're your own, your superiors' or the values of your organization itself. otherwise, you're just being mind-less.

1. Sweet potatoes
Way to fucking sweet, maybe they'd be okay if people ate them with ice cream as a desert, but even then 
2. Religion
If you agree, the reasons are obvious, if not, I don't feel compelled to offend you with my opinions 
3. Alcohol
Just not my thing. Don't mind hanging with drunks as long as I have something to smoke

Everyone I know loves them. The other day I was at a friend's place and they just baked whole sweet potatoes and held them with paper towels and bit straight into them

How do you know?
I don't know the difference so I googled it, and the first page says what most people consider yams are actually just a red/skinny variety of sweet potatoes
