"A peer is someone or something from the same time as you are" This is incorrect in the context you used it in. No offense. A Peer is an Equal (in station or class). It is a much broader term than in your usage. "Greed..... Reward Sale???? Proclaiming loudly and proudly that you can earn up to $400 if you just spent $2000 at their store knowing that quite a number of poser users have debts because of all the stuff they've already purchased in previous sales. Asking for $2000 is nothing short of greed imo. Ypu've got to look at it relatively though. Most of us don't even spent that kind of money on poser stuff even during a whole year. Most of us already spent more the we need or should on poser items, so asking us for that kind of money seems a bit greedy to me." 1 - This doesn't substantiate the claim that you "know" its greed. This is an explanation for an opinion -- a justification of a position. Not a substatiated claim. 2 - Daz, to date, has done nothing any different than any other retail concern would do. Unless all retailers are greedy (and that's too great a generalization to make), there's little evidence of greed. Operating a business like theirs is a for profit enterprise. While I'm not known for my fondness of them, I doubt Greed is the motivating factor involved. (The point I'm attempting to make is that you are making pronouncements of fact, not opinon. Your opinon is valid and fine -- your presentation is subject to weaknesses, though, so its always safer to do it in terms of expressing your opinion).
thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
