[QUOTE="filtor1, post: 3661350, member: 559406"] First off, I am in no way trying to make this personal. Your character is not what I questioned, it was simply the fact that you made the "need" argument. Use any of the logical decision making models to test out the scenarios that involve a needs based argument. You can apply it to any stage of retail or middle management and even down to simple production. People "need" very little to survive. I know you are not stupid. I have been around long enough to know that. I hope you don't think that is what I was implying. It wasn't. I was simply stating that supporting the morality of your argument based upon "need" is very subjective. So just to be clear, I was questioning the argument, not your character. It is difficult to convey this via a message board.
