telemetric Posted August 10, 2007 well i guess the story and my general demenour would have probably put it somewhere else if i hadnt been in such a maood at that time... (recently being dissatified with one of their pizza's) but i like it here as it in parts represents a feeling i had when i saw this one on the tv news first.... for example, how can this guy be so convicted and spiritual to do this when he has spent so much time and effort running a pizza business that mentions nothing of catholicism ?? isnt it a bit contradicting >?/ perhaps he or business managers that it wouldnt sell so well if the box came with outtakes from the latest scripture or they had pizza'a coined after the 12 deciples ... (inless of coarse his more recent actions are due to an increased willingness to propogate his religous beliefs...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PD. Posted August 10, 2007 Hahahaha, the dude got rich as fuck doin what he did, now he sells up and is gonna do something else he is interested in. Makes me laugh, who the fuck are we to judge what someone does with their money or how they got it. The world revolves around money not the sun and the sooner ya realise that the easier it is to accept that cunts rule the world. Just be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
telemetric Posted August 10, 2007 no major gripe here, more homoured than anything at this point... as for the money issue you mention i believe that if people where more considerate or conciously evolved + ethical when it came to how they made there money and spent it, we wouldnt have the world in the predicamate i personally see it in everyday getting worse in some pretty critical areas... sure we may end up with some super tomato strain that can support massive growth of the pizza industry in thirs world countries but thats no good to us if we aint got a planet to grow it on or we wipe ourselves and fellow occupants out in the process ...
