I notice a lot of people complain about the greedy businessman and the lousy jobs they supposedly provide. Of course, for so many reasons I disagree with this sentiment. The question I always have is "why is one not also in business?" I mean, it's all right there. The stock market. You can own any business listed on a stock exchange and have some skin in the game, grow with them, share in the profits and enjoy all the same benefits over time that any owner does and would. You can't complain about being broke if you do nothing to get rich.

You are right, some people want to get money, but without getting tired, you Americans are practical and dynamic
Not all of us. A lot of us sit and whine and complain about what we don't have and never get off our duffs to take advantage of all of the many opportunities we have. There are people in other countries who would die for the opportunities we have here that so many Americans unfortunately take for granted.
I admire your way of thinking, of course, in addition to your sense of humor, but did you know I still know little about encryption and making money through it? Is this normal? Can I learn that
Do you mean encryption, like coding for security? Or crypto?
I mean in general my friend, it is not a specific thing, here many of us, as I said, complain about the need, to go and do any work instead of complaining
Well, I will say this. And this is me just being completely honest and reflective. And that is that most of my philosophy and perspective come from an American view, where here we have absolute amazing opportunity to overcome basic challenges, and get rich if we want it and work for it. I fully acknowledge that this is not the case in many places in the world. So, when I make the assertions that I do, and the comments that I do, they are mostly directed toward those who live and operate in the Western world where these opportunities are more attainable than in other places. Sometimes that gets lost in the discussion.
I admire your way of thinking in general as I told you, but I have a question, is it true that Americans have cold feelings and do not care about feelings?Sorry for my frankness, I'm always so spontaneous and I like to hear from you, what do you think about social relationships?
Americans are not cold at all. In fact, many of the wars that Americans wind up in are not even for our causes. It is for the cause of others. We send our young into battle and some to their deaths to help other nations where we can. That takes a lot of heart. That takes a lot of love for the human condition and the pursuit of happiness for all people. Americans have gone to places like Serbia, and Syria, Kuwait, and many other places to offer a helping hand to people that were not equipped to defend themselves from tyranny and dictator rule. Our country is about freedom and the pursuit of happiness, and about people living free and happy lives free from oppression and misery. We are not cold people at all.
I do not like to talk about politics, but I understood that you sympathize with others, but why is there war, violence and fighting, and we pay the price?
Because there are bad people in the world who must be stopped. Joseph Stalin. Adolph Hitler. Saddam Hussein. The Ayatollah Khomeini. Hezbollah. Kim Jong Un. Vladimir Putin. Fidel Castro. Mao Zedong. Genghis Khan. Osama Bin Laden. Emperor Hirohito. Idi Amin. A lot of people have this misconception that peace is about not fighting. It's false. Sometimes no one fights because one man has all the power to prevent the fight. Anybody who lived under the rule of any of these men suffered terribly. Their lives were meaningless. War is sometimes necessary to actually restore peace among the PEOPLE and to offer freedom from oppression and tyranny.
I am with you against tyranny and dictatorship, but I have not entered America with other countries. These wars have tired us. I tell you, we are paying the price, a great price, believe me.
Sorry, there is an error in translation, although I am good at English, I use the translator because it is faster when I write in my language
I will say that you are still doing good with it. I understand you better than others in most cases. If it is easier to write in your native language don't hesitate to do so. I can use a translator as well and am happy to communicate that way, although it may take me a bit longer to respond just because it will require a bit more work. But I also do understand that some people are using translators, and so I try to write my comments to those people in a different way to better assist in the translation. If that makes sense. lol
