I'm new. Does this piss anyone else off?

Discussion in 'General Chat' started by AFitch, May 26, 2008.

    1. Threads that offer something for a dollar.
    2. People willing to do something for a dollar.
    3. "1,290 Websites 4 Sale - 12 dollars"
    4. People envying other people because they make $100 a month, almost to the point that they accuse them of lying.
    5. 40,000,000 backlinks, 99 cents!
    6. Writing services, 0.01 cents per thousand words. Sweet.
    7. I need a job. Pay me $1 a day.
    8. More Posts on DP = The More Money You Have In Real Life
    9. There's a thread in the underground talking about who's the richest on DP, and some of the replies are like "Omg Yeah XXXX Is the Richest he Made $6000" - Let me just tell you, there are some people lurking around here who you'd never expect it from, but they make MULTIPLE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. If you ever become rich, you'll quickly realize how little time you have to spend posting on forums.

    If you guys keep thinking so highly of $1, or $100, then you will never become rich. It's all about your mindset. You need to think big to get big. If you think $100 is so much, you'll never have the motivation to do the things that will make you millions.

    That my friends, is the shortened list of things I see daily that get on my nerves.

    I understand needing money, aspiring to be an internet entrepreneur, whatever. I was on welfare and food stamps for most of my life, so I've been there. I understand poverty. But if you are the kind of person who creates any of what I listed above, you mine as well just go beg for money on the streets. Not really, but seriously, go learn how to program, or design, do something useful with your time. Just because you know how to write, or a little HTML, or how to slice layouts, that isn't enough, and there is PLENTY more for you to learn.

    I feel much better.

    EDIT: I just realized that I am a totally awesome writer. Anyone wanna pay me $1/day to write for them?

    That sort of thing doesn't bother me to be honest. :) In fact, if someone can offer me 40,000,000 backlinks for 99 cents they should PM me or something. :D

    Besides, most of these things that people will do for a dollar are simple things.

    But it's only a dollar. If you spend even 15 minutes on something and get paid $1 for it, you can make at most $4 an hour. Not including electricity & depreciation of computer(long term). Beggers in NYC make $150-200/day(tax free).

    ME: Open this webpage to make sure it's working and I'll pay you $1
    YOU: make that $1.10 and you got yourself a deal!

    doesn't that seem kind of screwed up to you?

    i dont think its screwed up....

    i love to watch my income go up... even if its 1$ it still means something to me. Beggers beg for food while i make 1$ from my own warm home and guess what it feels good, nothing beats a honest doller. 1$ is worth 100 cents.

    I like the way you think.
    Positive thinking is the strongest factor to be success in everything. I totally, 250% agree with you! :)

    I totally agree with ЄxDeus™. There's a huge difference between earning that $1 and begging on the streets for $5 (which to me is just a lazy way to earn fast cash). I don't think people who'll do stuff for a dollar should be looked down upon. In fact, they should be admired. That's just my personal opinion.

    I met a beggar two weeks ago in town who asked me for 20 cents for a can of beer! I gave him a one euro and told him to get me 4 cans as well!

    There are some wealthy people in here alright but most of them Ive chatted with are extremely down to earth and offer lots of good advice.

    True. Most of the wealthy people I know are very down-to-earth & humble. :)
