hey the_fallen, haven't seen you post much recently and
especially in the furore of the SE news. You have anything to
contribute? Your views are quite a read.
as for the mentality, aiyah... who don't want to earn money?
especially when the concept is that now you make money through
making networks. i think mlm has a great share of flaks but it is
also because traditional businesses do not treat their employees
well and thus more people are pront to finding alternatives.
imagine if your big boss in some mnc gives you a cut of
profit-sharing of the annual turnover plus group share etc etc then
maybe all these mlm will not seem as attractive.
the fact is that big corporations do gain masses of profits and
they keep it for themselves, paying only the original baord of
directors, sleeping partners, owners, shareholders profits and
such.. and the hardworking lower-class worker or middle-class
worker who actually on-the-job made the contribution to the
bottom-line is not as beautifully remunerated. therefore the desire
to "become" your own boss and tell these "oppessors" GOOD BYE etc
etc...
anyway, this is one way of looking at it only, not the only
way.
so the concept of pyramid game, mlm will always appeal to people no
matter what. there are always "underdogs" in our society....
