There's no correlation between being rich and being intelligent.

Also, no they wouldn't. 90% of them are rich because they had money before they gained consciousness. You have to have money to make money.

And isn't greed a sin? isn't having billions being greedy? You just hate poor people, don't you?

If you think having more money than 99% of the people that have ever existed on earth is not greed... not even god could save you.

You could give out 99% of that money and live a lavish life.

If greed is subjective then sins are subjective. Therefore not paying back your debts is subjective. There's no objective meaning to anything, it seems.

Laborers weren't fairly treated (in terms of wages, at the very least) before or after that date. It got worse, actually. The problem is that some of those who lived through those times are also saying that the minimum wage is currently too high.

Stupid question but is it possible to get a virus from an MKV file.

You're on linux? The odds of you getting a virus on linux are not 0 but very slim, since the userbase is very small.

Plus, viruses prey on people's ignorance. The usual "movie file viruses" are .exe files and can only be run on windows. Most people don't enable the option to show file extensions on windows, so a filed named "movie.mkv.exe" would show up as "movie.mkv" instead.

IMO, the odds of you accidentally running a virus by playing a .mkv file on linux are as high as the odds of you winning the lottery 3 times in a row.

There's thousands of people who need to have their salaries increased. Aren't they the needy?

Pay the workers, ffs. Else, you're greedy, yes.

This is not the argument you think it is.

Those who run charities are not the holiest humans either. A fraction of what is sent to charities goes to those they claim to help.
