Thus with anarchy, even how hardcore it is. "Love is the most beautiful thing you could of ever given me." -V

Money is made by the government, and how corrupt it is. Love is the only thing stopping most people from being anarchist.

"No more lies, just truth." -V

While I am the romantic type, I will say women are after some security in their situation at the very least financially.

I personally am out to just have enough to get by on in life. I am content with the basics.
So love is my true answer, I crave that more than luxury.

Yexley
08-26-2009, 08:08 AM
Depends how much money but if it's a lot then money ftw. Maybe I would change my answer when I'm like 40 but right now I don't really care about love and I really like buying stuff all the time.

LOVE

you can get tired of money and all other necessities in life, be jaded and stuff. besides, money will run out and it won't give you any contentment. whereas love, a simple life full of love is most cherished by many and is searched by all... except for all the heartless people. lol

lmao, dyne my public enemy numero uno hm, i don't have wrinkles yet :p

Love dies, cant be controlled, can turn someone decent into a real retard and it doesn't provide any kind of security.

Love causes- jealousy ,paranoia and loss of ambition in some cases.

dyne
08-26-2009, 02:09 PM
thats not love then if you can't trust the person..if you get jealous and paranoid over the person you love how can you call that love?

no wrinkles at 40, impressive

tequilla_boom
08-26-2009, 02:27 PM
yeah i wear a mask :p and you could be right there.But finding the selfless kind of love is not everyone's cup of tea.

afrotaito
08-26-2009, 02:29 PM
love will always make you happy and whats the point of money if you gots no one to share it with? trust me you'd just be miserable loner or money bought friends.

so love wins. but i needs me some cash about now fo real though

Maszrum
08-26-2009, 02:30 PM
I think you can love and be jealous. By loving someone you partly claim this person to be yours. (not literally of course) so it's normal you want it for yourself and sometimes don't want to share so are jealous. But yeah- being paranoid is just being paranoid.

dyne
08-26-2009, 02:38 PM
there are people who get jealous from their spouses/gf,bf's talking to the opposite sex. and again i dont believe so maybe when a relantionship first starts out yea you can be jealous but if your 4-5 years into a relantionship and you're still jealous...you can't love that person or that person doesn't love you..which really isnt true love so you shouldnt really be with that person if what your after is love

Maszrum
08-26-2009, 02:43 PM
I think you can be jealous even then. A little. It's not that full of hate wild jealousy that people feel at the beginning but I don't have other word to call it. And I guess it only happens in serious situations and generally when things aren't going so well and smooth. If everything is just fine then yeah. There's no place for anything else than love.

yea well like ive said if not having to get up and go to work/school, listen to what people have to say and just do whatever i want is being a retard. then im happy to be one.

As much as you did.

Can't money get love more easily?
You can travel to more places to find the right person.
And you may have the point but- if you don't have money and first need to get/earn them. It takes time. I don't know if a lot of people would still want to look for love after years of hard work.

08-26-2009, 04:09 PM
The love of my family sits at the top, but money is almost as important because no one is truly happy when they're broke...or at least i'm not. You need a balance, it'd suck to be rich but unloved or loved but dead broke and unable to provide for yourself and loved ones.

lurch
08-26-2009, 04:16 PM
Being jealous is one way to feel you want that person to yourself. Jealousy can interfere with trust if not kept in check. Without some trust you will just poison your relationship with comments or actions. Self confidence may be another factor why you are jealous. I mean if you think they are going to leave your ass, then that is your problem. Just saying Women want to feel wanted so a bit of jealousy is not a bad thing to let them know you care.

My random opinion on that lol

Yexley
08-26-2009, 07:29 PM
I'm happy when I have money even if I'm not in a proper relationship at the time, you can still have fun with friends and have a gf without love.

I would sell my family for 10 bucks. Ok. I am exaggerating but we are not very close so such love is definitely not something I would choose over money.

lol its quite the opposite for me, but that doesn't make me a sucker for love.

[-Shirion-]
08-27-2009, 05:07 PM
Hmm, that is an interesting way to look at the question.

Money versus love as in a significant other, or love pertaining to your family. Even more interesting: what if you were posed the question of the love of one versus the other?

I really doubt I could decide. Most people feel their parents attribute an 'unconditional' love; I, honestly, feel that is how I feel about my fiance. I, personally, think all love should be as close to unconditional as possible. With the obvious exceptions of infidelity, abuse, etc.

deucezulu
08-31-2009, 11:30 AM
Well for me I don't like to compare the two. If it wasn't for love from my wife and family who take their time out to care for me, I wouldn't have a Diploma, Degree, and a basketball career. I've probably would of been out there on the streets.

Money, well its like my Pops said, money is not everything but you need it to survive, you have to pay the bills and you need a roof over ya head.

With Love, I think some people get it mixed up with romance, now there is nothing wrong with romance but when you're talking about love, it takes commitment, responsibilities, sacrifices, trust, communication, and most of all understanding. Without those a relationship won't last. You can't be a ass and not get a job while your spouse is trying to barely make ends meet, that's hell of stressful.

As far as jealous goes, you can have a little, it just shows the feelings you have, but if it overwhelms you, uumm your going to need to some major help because that could lead to being paranoid and that's a crazy place to be.

Call me naive, but to me love is forever.

That is a sucker move.

For example, take two married people. In short, the woman divorces the husband but still loves him. She just doesn't want to be married to him any longer.

Take the money. A fool would choose love.

09-12-2009, 07:27 PM
Obviously.. in the world we live in.. money comes before everything.... with out it, you can't do anything for yourself or anyone else. Feed your family, keep your children happy during the holidays... it's sad, but we tell ourselves.. we're only doing it for a better life and some times not even for ourselves.

What people believe it in.. is what really matters anyway, the love is still there.. though you'd be lying to yourself if you think the money wasn't.

But honestly, I think I would go for in-between. Even if I wasn't head-over-heels for a guy, but he cared for me, respected me, and had a significant amount of moolah, I'd definitely marry him. Good looks and romance would be just bonuses. :P

Shut yo dumbASS LOL. Laaaaaame

Money doesn't mean shit to me. I spend it all the time and i love it. But i've learned myself in life that it ain't SHIT. I live for happiness, and i know that anything bought with money isn't everlasting, and i know it for a fact. I spend money on clothes, makeup, ice, shoes, purses, etc. and i get lots of attention for a pretty face and nice shit, but who cares. That doesn't fill the emptiness i feel inside at times.

Maybe you should try living your life revolving around money and you'll eventually see that it means nothing in the end. You just have the nicest shit around for people to love you for your cash and ice, but not particularly for YOU. Those type of people aren't down for you, believe me.

I'll be honest, i think those that solely chose money don't know what the hell they're talking about. You must be ugly on the inside and most likely the outside because i'm pretty sure you've never felt love from a significant other or from family & friends the way i have .

And money = respect? Says who? You can have all the cash and ice in the world but I will never give that person respect if you're all about your paper. You're most likely just a little bitch lol.

Yeah i said it, get at me.:love::love:

hmm.... money or love? prefer one or the other?

i think in THIS society that we live on, they kind of go hand in hand. Rarely will you see a couple together solely because they love each other wholeheartedly. To support the family, money is needed. Just how it works.

Personally, I can't really say I'd sway either way. Probably because I have commitment issues of my own in a relationship. But being far away from what I'm used to, being alone at times when everyone is together... I don't think money can fill that void. I'll say this... While life can be easier with liquid cash readily available, it does nothing to build your character.

The way I see the question is "Either be filthy rich, but have nobody that truly loves or cares about you, or be surrounded by love, but be poor, or homeless"

Because if someone loves you and sees you suffering, they will do their best to help you. :D

I think most people if offered the real choice of love or money would take money!!

I don't blame her... I'd be sick every time I even thought about that wrinkled bastard touching me.

Money for me at the moment. Then when I have the money, maybe I can buy love at the nearest grocery store.

I think in order for love to work, you need money. And in order to make the money worth it, you need love.

They go hand in hand, but you don't need the other to *have* one.

Love doesn't exist. Money does exist. It is because of money that I am able to live. Without money, we cannot live. Like it or not, money is extremely important. You can live without love. You cannot live without money.
Obviously.. in the world we live in.. money comes before everything.... with out it, you can't do anything for yourself or anyone else. Feed your family, keep your children happy during the holidays... it's sad, but we tell ourselves.. we're only doing it for a better life and some times not even for ourselves.


Very realistic approach.

Definitely, in all situations, always....money. That's the only thing that matters in life. You can't enjoy love without money, and if u sacrifice money for love than one day you're gonna hate that source of love, because you'll have realized the foolish mistake you've made.

Plus love is a very idealistic concept, i doubt it exists and if it does, few will be lucky to find it.

that entirely depends on where you live in the world if you're born in a "free" society you don't really require money to do anything. i mean you can work at a grocery store getting paid 8 bucks an hour and life a perfectly normal life.

it just depends what sort of life style makes you happy. if you want to be driving down the street in lamborgini, living in a beach house then yea money is definitely important. but to say its important for all people and that it fuels happiness no definitely not.

You are actually very correct. Where I live a Volkswagen Engineer or Bank Treasurer is paid a mere 15 dollars per day (whereas from what i know, in the US a simple mechanic or painter is paid 10-15 dollars per hour). University and Master is necessary for a job paid more than 400 euros per month.
So basically, being a worker in a grocery store=shitty life to say the least.

I don't aspire living a Rothschild's life.

Maybe it came out wrong. I didn't mean it fuels happiness. More like, love alone is not enough for happiness if you live a shitty life. Imagine finding the love of your life, having kids and little money : it should hurt like hell not being able to give your kids a proper education or everything they desire.
I am lucky to not have missed anything in life but I know plenty who have.
That's why I think that it is better to miss out on love than on money.

taking out any extreme circumstances, like living in a mudhut in africa or something, i'd say what you're saying is a little contradicting if you are with the love of your life i dont think you can be unhappy no matter how your lifestyle is. if anything it would just motivate you to be better.

I think we can't work this out because as we implied above, we live in different worlds. Without a lot of sacrifice and hard work it is impossible to have a decent life in my country, whereas where you live, even a work at the grocery store allows you to have a decent life.
(how do you intend to be happy without having the opportunity to travel a little or provide your loved ones with anything necessary+a few luxuries......being able to give is such a beautiful feeling)

So, take for instance this very plausible scenario in my country : you have an excellent studying and job opportunity in another country, say Germany, whereas "the love" is in the poor country and wants you to be with him/her (which implies you will not attend that first class college and u will not be able to take that job)? What do you chose? Money or Love?
(remember that here, working as a grocery store clerk, can barely pay for even a normal life.....ah! also public universities here suck...)

And also I believe motivation is overrated. I think it's genetic. You either have the genes to be a winner or you don't, no matter how much you desire to improve.

i think it's a bit of a misconception that you need an education to make money. there are plenty of things you can do that don't require you to have a college degree or university degree and still make good money. doesn't matter what country you're in either.

and education just makes it easier to do things and you're brought up being told you need an education. the internet just makes everything much easier because now even you from where ever you live you can contact someone of the other side of the world.
