How To Stop The RIch From Benefiting Off The Misery Of Others

Rich versus poor?
I am not a big tv fan. My husband was watching Rachel Maddows and a commercial came on. I happen to catch it as I walked by. A man was advertising a book he wrote on how to organize your life so you can get rich quick. I said to my husband, "who is really getting rich off that book?".
He laughed and said,"Yeah?" Half kidding around I said to him, "We should write a book called, "How To Stop The RIch From Benefiting Off The Misery Of Others". That is what gave me the idea for this topic. PTS. People with "permission to scam". Like the guy on tv with the get rich quick book. My father use to stay, "Half of the world is stealing from the other half. The other half is watching to see whose trying to steal from them". I appreciate hearing other peoples thoughts on this.

You really need some kind of twisted genius to think of plans to scam people.  The things people can come up with really amaze me.
I think most of us aren't bothered what happens to others because as long as we're not the victims, why give it a second thought. Maybe we should just make people aware if something we know is a scam.

While we are busy thinking, "good, we're not scammed", who knows, someone is actually conning us in front of our eyes and we never know.

Very introspective and valuable words you shared. I really appreciate reading from you. When you mentioned about the 'twisted genius' it made me think. If there is a twisted genius thinking up awful scams, then on the other extreme, could there be a humanitarian genius with a plan that could stop scamming? Maybe a plan really exist by some amazing humanitarian genius but it needs people to care. And, as you said, most people are not feeling threatened or aware they are being scammed.

Well, you sound like a humanitarian genius Clarita because I think you truly care when people are being scammed.

Hi
I am not a Tv watcher so I have not seen the show
But I find it currious that Scamming is
expected.
Not just the old saying buyer, beware
but the whole consept that so many people run around without a consciecens
Make me wonder how people sleep at night
But I like the consept of the Book
Great idea
how about the title,
The Scamables

Hi Elaine,
Thank you for your reply. You are not a tv watcher and neither am I. I get the information from being around my husband who keeps up with the latest.
I really like your title for a book "The Scamables". It is very visual. A lot of images come up for me related to your suggestion. Visual pictures that are clearly defined.
If I were to write a book I would definitely want the money to go for charity. Completely!!! Otherwise what would be the use in writing it. It would be defeating the purpose.
You said it, "scamming is expected", and I find it hard to believe as well. The fact that it has become normal is so twisted. This is the crazy part; that a scammer with 'pts' [permission/license to scam] can convince people of being a humanitarian while they are obviously in it for themselves. They do it right in front of the public without even being noticed! Humanitarian=scam is written all over their face and nobody pays attention! And with it being plain as day to see, I agree with you, how do they sleep at night!
Thank you again for your imput. I am inspired to hear from others like yourself!
Clarita

Hello,
I am glad you like the title
I had a chuckle when I read your post
in The Legend of Hero's
I call these once Humans
Consumers- they are a Dark Demoic ozzz
that consumes the Human body, and wears the skin of men, as clothing to hide amoung those they suck Dry, and Consumed
Aided by the Darkshroud, the Haze of confussion cast over Humanity like a Wicked Spell'
I write these storys for family and freinds.
they are free to read if your interested
But I have to admit, the site the kids have put on the net. has not been edited
Which caused me a bit of imbarrasment
at first but I see why they wanted people to read it for Free right away
Now that I have entered the fast world of the net. my eyes have been opened to the growing concern of Leaders who will not lead
Love E
Of course the refrain is
Watch, Listen, and Learn
like the chorse of the story
If you write a Book let me know
I would love to read it,

Hi Elaine,
How exciting! I will follow the link you gave me. I would love to read what you wrote!!!
It already sounds so interesting. I don't care about the editing I just want the truth.
One of my friends told me something that stayed with me.
He said, "Intelligence has nothing to do with grammer. The people that are the most ignorant are the intelligent that have no emotions". That makes a lot of sense to me!
Thank you for your inspiration!
Blessings
Clarita

Good morning
Thank you for the post
I think I would like your frind
as spelling is my worst subject
though I love to read
I hope you like the Fairytale
Part one has been turned into script form
the kids are making an Animation
which takes a while
The pict next to my name, which came out blurry, can be seen on my profile
along with the full Picture
her name is UNA and the librarian of Time
Kyra is the illistrator, and I love her work she is the most talented young lady, I am looking forward to following a promissing carreer
she has choosen to be an artist, and has finshed her schooling
The comment on Oct 31 by Siddique
I have just read was insperation for writing the story
I feel young people everywhere are being lied to and it is not ok anymore
so in my own way I was trying to let my grandkids know, Watch Listen and Learn
before you believe what you are told
But kids do not really like to be warned about things, so a story was needed to help them understand in a fun way with Dragons and Demons to spice it up and to hold their interests
I believe we as Humans resinate to songs
which is all a story is
As the Bards said,
We sing the Deeds of Hero's threw this life and the next
But we have come to the Dawn of a new age
When beinging a Scammer is expected
But what I see is that our worst are our leaders
to the future of life
Love E

Hello,
this is apost replying to Siddique oct31
the one with the little face on it
I agree with your comment, people are easily distracted by the issue of
It was not me
and are quick to turn away from Scamms
in a silent manner
But in a Time of Great Change
as world is now in, I felt the need to worn child
But I hopped I had made it a fun experiance, and not a worning they would say
Not again, no more lectures of it is a hard crewl world, by people who have fallen to being part of a De-evolving
Once again I liked your post
Love E

good Morning
I think I would like your freind
as spelling has always illuded me
and of course the us of puctuation!
Though I dearly love to read''
In the words of the Old Bard
We sing the songs of hero's in their lifetimes, and those to come
A story is just a Song of the Lifes
of people we admire for their willness to stand up
against those who are scammers
my concern
and the reason for the books I have writen for my 4 kids and 2 grandkids
and of course all their freinds
was becuase I found
Those who are , our leaders seem to be pulling the biggest scamm of all
Siddique oct31 the post with the face in it
Her response to Scam's is to be glad it was not them
We seem to be in a Duck and cover age
no one saw anything until it happens to them.
And because young people do not like being warned about things
I decided to make them fun to read
as bedtime storys full of Dragons and Demons
so noone noticed until the end of them
that there is a message for young people
Watch, Listen, and Learn
who is telling you things that are false
to the Future
Love E

Hi,
it sounds as thought I would like your freind
Spelling is my worst subject, along with grammer
But like Sidduque wrote in Oct 31
with the facein the post
People are in a duck and cover mode
no one does anything until it is being done to them
It was why I wrote the books
Kids do not like hearing warnings
they only like a good story
The Bards once said
To sing the songs and deeds of men
in their life time and the next
It gave me the idea of writing those Fireside tails, and bedtime storys I used to tell
Thou Writing is very different!!!!!!
You have to spell. etc
I hope you enjoyit
But Dragons and Demons are not for everyone
But our family likes fairytales,
thou being kids, they were subjected to my tastes
and who knows if they would have liked them if I had not sent them to bed with the Tails of Death Dogs, and Imps
A Mothers bedtime storys
it was the first book, when our youngest became to old for me to read him to sleep, he had learned to read
again thank you for your post
and for the Music I enjoyed
Creation the Future of the World
Love E
Ps I hope this posts,
I had posted earler, but they vanished
I am so looking forward o the 2nd comp class at the library
to learn to use this fabulous tool better

in deed! Clarita...a very intresting discussion...when I was an undergraduate in Kenya..I had a friend who was very popular with self improvement books (I like them too, and would recommend to anyone)....she liked sharing such books with me..one day she came with one of these best sellers..'Think and grow rich'..and for some reason I asked her if she believed everything in that book, offcourse that question bounced back at me, at some point I told her its teh guy who wrote that book who was making the money out of her yet the advise may just be some thoery that is impractical to apply in real life...well the book mught have been good but my point is things are not as obvious as they seem, the danger is knowing what to believe and what not to. With regards to poor an dteh rich, Mahtama Gadhi said it all, I paraphrase "Mother Earth has enough food for everyones need but not for everyones greed"...
