I thought the question was whether or not it made "them good or bad capitalists?"

Would they be "right"?

Right as in Republicans, or right as in correct?



both please.

I don't think that capitalism is exclusively a republican thing. In addition, I don't think that telling lies to make money is exclusively a republican thing either.

As to "telling lies to make money", as long as you don't actually break the law I suppose one could argue that it is "right" as in "correct"... is morally reprehensible behavior "correct"?

good for the 1 vs good for the many?



Generally speaking most laws are probably intended to protect the society, so generally speaking yes... "good for the many".

I wasn't talking about the original question, just the possible argument of about what capitalism is about.

I meant right as in correct.

back to the homeless man killing, definitely something wrong in albuquerque police. why are they targeting mental illness people, why are they getting away with it? why is the city government try cover it, who is paid off the city government or police department to keep hidden from the public? this sound like a plot for a movie or a pilot of tv series. the tail end of the video, is probably true about what they are going to with it. a new chief police is a good start, but the f.b.i. come in, maybe even c.i.a. need to come in, too. obviously, a new order of government need to run this city. this not an overnight progress, this going more than a couple of months, years to clean up this town. if it can be clean up? hopefully, justice will be serve the right way, not corrupt way, this town look now.

"Oh my boyfriend cheated on me!"
"Ape @ San Diego Zoo Takes Big Smelly s***."

"Another body piece found from child whom went missing 8 years ago."
"Ape @ San Diego Zoo Takes Big Smelly s***."

"Woman is pursuing legal action against a gang of men whom held her captive; repeatedly raping her for three weeks straight before they let her go."
"Ape @ San Diego Zoo Takes Big Smelly s***."

On the other hand, one could probably argue that telling lies to make money is not what "capitalism" is about.




Try telling that to an advertising executive. I think capitalism would fail if lying became illegal...

Well marketing and advertising are certainly based on "lies".

However, there might be a difference between exaggerating to get someone to buy your product/services and actually defrauding them in a ponzi scheme, pyramid scheme or some other flim flam that actually violates civil and/or criminal laws.

There are a variety of models of "capitalism", but I doubt any of them actually justify fraud.

But, maybe I am wrong.

Hmm... possibly... in so far as capitalism was defined (by John Adam Smith? was it?), I think it was not inherently fraudulent, however, I suspect the entire system is underpinned by a wide variety of frauds of various kinds and degrees in current practice.

I'd posted this back in April. Where I was arguing that Cliven Bundy get's the crazies on his side & is left alone while crazies like this guy get shot. https://www.theforumsite.com/forum.php?p=6641289#6641289
