again.....he may have 1 million or more but its not from 1 album.
anyone with 1 million dollars (which isnt alot these days) is considered a 'millionaire'

you know the hot boys turk and bg called themselves the cash money millionaires but they were broke.

most people are generally stupid even most of the white collar "educated" people that are my customers. alot of them are pretty stupid too.
minimum wage should be lower than it is

There is some truth to that. I still work part time and go to school. I started at a place and made minimum wage 7 years ago. It is true that many of those people aren't even worth the money that they are making. Over time my boss noticed that I'm consistent, and making moves to make and save them money...let alone took more responsibility so I started increasing.

You need to make money for those people above you before you start earing it yourself. Some people are rebellious to this concept too early and prefer to just be lazy because of it (why should I make money for some other sucka)...that is making someone else rich. You need to know your own value. Can they hire someone that is willing to work minimum wage to replace you?

Some jobs that take many minimum wage workers are there to keep prices low. If Wal Mart went to $10/hour, inflation would catch up fast. In fact everyone would just start cutting jobs and hours and unemployment will rise.

for only white people to be intelligent got deleted? I'm glad i posted this topic because i got a lot of responses and a lot of them were good responses. Ironman i definitely agree with everything you said. I think i saw that Denzel Washington movie you were talking about but i can't remember the name of it. For some reason, ignorant whites think that blacks can't be lawyers, doctors, engineers because of the color of our skin.

Gang Starr has a song called Conspiracy on Daily Operation album. Guru talks about racism in america on the song. On the song, he said the SAT test isn't geared for the lower class so why even waste your time trying to pass it. The educational system is designed for blacks to fail. I don't agree with that. A poor black person can pass the SAT test if you study. You can't expect to pass the SAT if you don't study and read. I never took the SAT because i didn't wanna go to college because i don't like school but if i would've been interested in college, i would've studied for the SAT.

Why should i waste my money on a strip club? You a damn fool if you don't think $357 isn't a lot of money to spend on a motel room to fuck a woman.

well said butcher

To the person who said Fredro Starr is a millionaire because Onyx's first album went platinum, you're retarded. How you figure he's a millionaire because his album sold well? That doesn't mean nothing. I doubt it that a rapper can be a millionaire because one album they did sold well. Record companies are very shady and you should know that. He may be a millionaire because of the albums and movies he's done if he has saved his money. Most rappers don't know nothing about saving money because they too busy spending their money on dumb shit trying to impress people.

1 platinum album would prob get someone maybe 500,000....maybe.

Exactly. The guy who said that Fredro is a millionaire doesn't know a damn thing about how record companies operate and how much money artists are supposed to get.

charles have you ever visted the site in my sig?

ya that is kinda bullshit the original thread got deleted. there was some good points in there.

If you are on this forum and you don't think there should be a 10$ minimum wage and a 200,000$/yr maximum wage then you are some fucked up rich kid faggot and you are part of the problem.


On a sidenote, I was talking to a college friend of mine once and he said that raising the minimum wage was too 'inelegant' of a solution. You guys need to shut the fuck up.

its not possible.

it would in essence be communism. which i am in favor of. but what your talking about could not happen in a capitalist society.

i didn't study for mine and did relativly well. i know people who did study who did better, and some who did worse. i know people who didnt study and the same thing applies.

its not a culturally biased test. you just need to pay attention in school. and like it or not its not going to change unless people who want it changed get in a postition to change it. ironically though, that wont happen until those people who want it changed have succesfully gone through the system they want changed. if you follow that logic.

paying people living wages does not equal communism.
