Quote - I do'nt think the ethics, of the situation, are hitting home Acadia;
There is no "ethics" involved here. it's about a business trying to recruit new customers in order to keep their business growing.
Quote - money is a wonderful thing, but Discrimination costs us everything, so that bottom line your taking about is pretty...Low!
Again, this is about a business using valid business marketing tools to attract new customers. There is no discrimination involved.
Quote - In the United States All People Are Equal; this is, especially, evident when it applies to money!
Oh? Tell that to the person on Welfare who wants to get a loan for a $5,000 car but can't because they don't have enough money, while his neighbour who makes $50,000 can get a car loan usually the same day.
There is no such thing as equality when it comes to money.
And once again, this issue is about Renderosity, a business, offering a discount to NEW customers so that their business can continue to grow and generate money.
It's a perfectly valid and well used business tactic used by thousands of companies every single day be it in the USA or Russia!
Sorry you are having a problem grasping that concept of business. Perhaps if you were in a position of actually running a business you would understand that concept more. A business can't exist unless it is constantly generating a new customer base. That's a hard cold fact of the business world.

*is, Obviously! Else you would at least recognize the problem
It isn't me that isn't understanding this issue :)
Quote - Trolling is not allowed; so I should never expect someone to ever come into a thread of mine with that kind of attitude!
I posed this question for a reason, to see if there was an explanation I could stand by. But just as $ is'nt an answer, neither is Mickey the Dunce's standpoint of "I do'nt even know why...anything..." ever going to hold water!
It seems to me that you are the one trolling here....and passing out veiled insults.
You asked a question, it was answered .. several times. You even tried to play dumb and pretended to not understand MikeJ's reply to you. He was smart and bailed because he saw through your motive.
You aren't seeing the point because you don't want to see the point. So nothing anyone says to you is going to matter.
And on that note I'm done with this thread because IMHO it has ran it's course and all you are looking to do is rant.. So I'm done.
"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
