nightwolf Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 I never said it was easy, I just don't think it's fair. Charlie, that's why the law would be changed.. Sigh, fine. Aimless, grow up, I can use an emote as much as I wish.
MoogleViper Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 It isn't fair but it's based on the society we live in. A capatalist one. Most businesses proffessionals will get paid higher than nurses, firemen, police etc. Alternatives; communism?
nightwolf Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Indeed, which was the point I made before. Maybe, but then I'm sure somebody would come along and destroy it. That's the problem with laws, they only work well when followed.
Aimless Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Sigh, fine. Aimless, grow up, I can use an emote as much as I wish. No need to be grouchy. Honestly.
Charlie Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 It isn't fair but it's based on the society we live in. A capatalist one. Most businesses proffessionals will get paid higher than nurses, firemen, police etc. Alternatives; communism? Communism just can't possibly work. There always has to be someone with more power than other people. Capitalism works well, what I say to people who complain about others not getting paid well: No one's forcing them to do that particular job, if they don't like it they can get another one.
Kirkatronics Posted March 16, 2008 Author Posted March 16, 2008 Yes I know. But most can. What about the Muslim teacher with 11 kids who gave up his £27000 job to recieve over 29K in benefits. And he's planning to have a twelth kid for the state to support. It's a fucking joke. Where did you get that figure? No need to be grouchy. Honestly. That made me laugh... He wasnt being serious.
MoogleViper Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Where did you get that figure? I read it in the paper at my girlfriends house. DOn't knwo what paper. Some searching might find it (not by me though). He also ran a political party. Some Islam shit about making Britain an Islamic state.
Sanchez Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 To be fair most celebrities and sports players will have to live on what they earn for the rest of their lives because if they abandon their studies and have little chance of a career after they retire at 30-40 years old. Yep. Agreed. While you agree the prostitution should be legalised I imagine it is for different reasons. I imagine you think that banning is eroding civil liberties while I believe it should be legalised so prostitutes aren't afraid to seek medical care if they get a disease or attacked or go crazy from their line of work.
McPhee Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Because nurses frankly do a bigger job than they do as do fireman and get jack shit whereas footballers kick a ball for the amusement of others and get thousands/millions of pounds. I just don't think its right to class amusement over life-saving.. The idea is good, the method isn't. Just raise the extra cash needed to pay Nurses and Firefighters by increasing tax on the football industry (players, clubs, ticket prices etc.) It'll piss a lot of people off, but it would work without destroying the idea of capitalism
