power/money doesn't corrupt

[Sergeant Bilko]

Justin, you seem to be hijacking this thread with a right wing bias towards some excellent answers, all of which have been explained with great lucidity. The OP is talking about corruption, and how it is caused. You seem to have taken exception to the fact that a poster has suggested that corruption is possible in capitalism (our existing system) without adding to your premise that the evil left wing (socialism and comunism) are even more susceptible.

 

Please take you right wing claptrap off to the politics forum where you will find plenty of George Bush wannabees who will agree with you wholeheartedly.

Please feel free to join the conversation Bilko. It has slightly turned toward corruption among different political ideologies. I may be wrong, but it seems I may have said something to make you angry...awww. How unfortunate. If others think that I have high-jacked this thread, please let me know and I'll stop, but the first line in the retort of Bilko says it all for me. Taking a crack just because my answers weren't liked.

O dear, Justin please dont mix sadness up with anger, and please excuse my forthrightness in asking you to take your postings to the correct forums. You answers were liked, by someone, somewhere. They were just off topic. In an earlier submission I made a suggestion that the definition of corruption may depend upon your moral, and may I add political viewpoint. I think that your some of your postings have indeed reinforced that view in so far as you seem to suggest that making money is more important than anything else as it is the lifeblood by which you live. A position which seems wide open to the potential for corruption in itself. That is the enrichment of the self however achieved, whatever the consequences is all that matters.

Bilko,

How was anything I said off topic? Have you even read the thread? The OP was about power and money making people corrupt. I believe that polititions and the ideological status of governments and markets fit in with power/money. Not to mention the fact that I wasn't the one to bring up capitalism in the first place. Maybe I don't articulate well enough sometimes to explain my views in a way that is fully understandable. I wasn't in any way trying to say that making money is more important. I was trying to say, with my right wing claptrap, is that solutions have their own consequences and all positions are open to corruption. You seem to be misleading yourself as to my opinions and ideology. I think you should go back and read the thread before you start making assumptions and telling people to get out of the forum. Now I'm off topic.
