RE: Help Fix Steem's Economy!

in #steem6 years ago

"Imagine you had a community that introduced a new law which rewarded a person $1000 every time they take a shit in public. Would it be surprising to discover, after a while, that the streets were flowing in diarrhea? Would you try to rectify this situation by asking people to be less greedy? Or perhaps try to educate people to shift from a culture of shitting on the streets to one of, well, not shitting on the streets? Would there be a point in asking how the fuck do you even manage to shit 10 times a day?"

This could not have been better said.

Sort:  

I agree with your sentiment but, with all due respect and admiration, is your verbal diarrhea not proving your sentiments to be a little hypocritical? I am not a sunday school teacher friend but, do we need to express our views in such low based language? Is it too much effort to try and find a more suitable alternative to the 'f' word? Or the 'sh' word,etc. I was taught that it is simply a sign of laziness when a person uses a lesser value word. Love you holm and I challenge you to try and think of a more explanatory, and agreeable, adjective/adverb when trying to get a point across. You may be surprised at just how many improved paragraphs occur as a result. And, at how much more attention you receive from those who matter! I too used to use the f word regularly until I realized that it rarely brings a positive response from any quarter of any note. Try a better word and learn at the same time. And please receive this in the total non-hostile manner in which it is intended, for I am not being critical, only sensitive.

I hope you realize that what was written in that statement is a direct quote from the post above and not from me. Nonetheless I love the way its expressed because it challenges and provokes a bit our situation.
