While greed in excess is a terrible thing that will make many people hate you, it is the emotion that drives our capitalist society ot continue to work and strive to make more money. Also, this is the single reason why Communism doesn't work in practice, because people want more money and more power. |

No not really. While greed may get you the things you've wanted & desired, then if you get everything that youv'e ever wanted then what's left? |

Greed isn't good. To me greed means you have what you need and more, but you want even more for the wrong reasons. Ambition on the other hand is more or less the same thing but for the right reasons. Nice catch phrase for the yuppie scum though. |

Who told you that? I don't think greed is good. It is a vice. When you are greedy, you become selfish and don't want to help others. I'm not sure why you'd think it's good. |

Greed is a sin. The good Lord does not expect us to keep what He blesses us with, all to ourselves. We are to help the ones that are not as fortunate as ourselves. Remember...... |

If by "greed" you mean ambition taken to an extreme, no. Then one is willing to lie, cheat, steal, ignore friends and family, just to amass wealth well beyond what is necessary for a good life. Thus, in my humble opinion, Bill Gates is not greedy, but Saddam Husein was. Hope this clears a few thing up. Have a nice, non-greedy day!! |

Greed is very good. Ever go to a Steak House and sit down and order a Porterhouse Steak??
You know that fellow in Montana or Nebraska or TExas that grew that beef didnt give a hoot about your or your taste pleasures in eating that Porterhouse that he got sunburned and sweated so hard to produce. Not one darn bit did that beef grower care.
What drove him to produce that Porterhouse was Greed. Pure and simple greed for money so he could buy himself a new Chevrolet Truck with a Stereo and fancy wheels. Greed drives the Capitalistic system Its very good and proven to give more to most than any other system in the world.
No other system, has ever given so much to so many as the greed driven capitalist system. |

There's a saying in the world of Finance:
In the markets: bulls win, bears lose, and pigs get slaughtered.
Making money is great, greed isn't. |
