Well to start with "Money Is The Root Of All Evil" is a Biblical missquote.
Money is not the root of all evil, because the idea of evil predates the consept of money.
However the contence of the proper quote
"The love of money is the root of all evil"
I belive to be true.
The message is not that money is evil but that greed is. |

| speech classes are stupid. yes it's important to debate both sides, but to have a truly great debate or speech, you have to be passionate about your topic. |

They made us do a debate once.
Luckily I got the side I thought was right but my friend (who thinks the same) was on the other side.
Its hard to argue when you see the holes in your own argument. |

we did philosof type thing in the city/country never checked tbh... the argument was that women should be admitted to the priesthood.
to me its obvious that they should so it was harder to argue ... maby i didnt work as hard but i did find it harder than other topics that i didnt agree with so much |

won't greed eventually lead to money... i mean when you are greedy you want things and when you want things you need money...... |

But the greed is always what causes you to want the money/power/ etc
You can own money in a small amount and it doesn't corupt you.
Why do humans always blame there weaknesses on inanimate objects? |
