Money Is The Root Of All Evil

agreed that the weakness is within man its self but i believe power and money can easily corrupt because humans are so weak.

Its really about 'its a long view down from the top and no body can afford to fall'

i guess you get used to a certain type of lifestyle and who would give that up for less?

If a man kills another man who has been sleeping with his wife it is evil, but money is not involved.

If you have to agree to "Money is the root of all evil" you can look at a few different things mainly depending on who is going to be listening and their anticipated interests Smile

for example look at celebs who use money to fund debatable or just plain bad things such as Tom Cruise and his interesting work in that "church" of scientology and the countless "stars" who take huge amounts of drugs and party relentlessly thus encouraging other people who want to be like them to follow in their footsteps.
Or look more into how governments use thier money and power (money leads to power) to control things an get things done. for example what going on with Robert Mugabe in Zimbabway to his own citizens or like what the american government did with their latest war which is again another country.
These governments use thier money and power to control, brianwash and just generally get what they want whether it be for the "greater good of the country" like america or for just for the lifestyle of one person like Mugabe.
