--- Quote from: stoutfiles on 11 Aug 2011, 11:17 ---I just said it doesn't buy happiness.  However, it does increase happiness.  Yes, I am happier because I can afford to do things. 

You wouldn't shovel some crap for a million dollars a day?  Just a week of doing that could let you go to the best cooking school, and open your own restaurant anywhere in the world.  I understand though, you're trying to win an argument by ignoring the logic that millions of dollars aren't worth having.

Um, I paid for my profession too, but like everyone who does this they expect to be compensated, at the very least enough money to live.  Your sister would not bankrupt and starve herself to teach.  That was a trick question to see if you'd argue any statement I made to be difficult for the sake of being difficult.  Try actually asking her next time, she's not trying to win an argument.

Money is important.  I'm sorry, but it is.  It's less important to some, more to others, but we live in a world where you have to be making money to survive.  As for Marten, he lives in a city, eats and drinks at establishments, etc.  Money is important to him.  If he was given a million dollars, he would be happy, just like anyone would be.

...Railroading an argument isn't winning it. Nobody's going to just give Marten a million dollars, who cares if it'd make him happy?

By the way, I followed the logic just fine. Would you kill someone for a million dollars? Believe it or not, some people would say yes, ignoring the same logic you describe, for the same reaon you describe. point is, nobody's paying anyone a million dollars to shovel crap, and Marten has an interest in music. As previously stated, you can make a living doing music without becoming super-famous, and be just fine. He may not be super-rich from it, but let's face it, most of us aren't from our jobs.

--- End quote ---

I vote Ode to Joy
the former are just for practice
but Ode to Joy is the My First Clarinet Recital staple, man

(as a former 8-year clarinet player this comic really made me smile
WOODIE SOLIDARITY MARTEN *brofist*)

It's a first piano recital staple as well! I totally played this at my first one.

Have you ever read about the misery that many people who win a million or more on the pools or a lottery get into?  Money does not  always bring happiness, and that fact is well known.

And folks, can we have less of the quote tunnels, please.
