If this dont make you see things clearer!!

I saw this posted on another forum and I think this explains things perfectly.
If this dont make you understand a little clearer then there is no helping you.

What if,--

You dropped off a bunch of your most expensive clothing to a well known drycleaner. You pay in advance for the services because they promise to deliver your duds when they are ready. Weeks go by, no delivery. You call. No answer. Concerned, you drive over there. Business is shut down, windows boarded up, a small note says : call (800) 867-5309 for information. You call, and a woman named Jenny refers you to a website. You find out many people paid and never got their clothing back. You find out the owner, Sam, had other businesses, but they were all mysteriously closed as well. Questions and concerns, and yes, anger and frustration abounds on the website forum. People needed their clothing weeks ago, where is the owner? What happened? Rumors swarm. The drycleaning business was a front for moneylaundering. The mob owned it for drug smuggling. The owner really wasn't a dry cleaner. He was sending the clothes to India to be cleaned by peasants who were selling the clothes out the back door. People complain to the authorities. A cease and desist order is posted. Then the DA's office gets involved. Finally the owner starts to post a few things on the website, but nothing specific. "We'll be back, but I can't tell you more." "I don't have access to your clothes." "We'll be back, but in a restructured form" Then, one day, the owner posts, "Comeback teaser." "We are currently working on opening our VIDEO STORE. Everyone who was a customer at the dry cleaners can sell videos to others and we will give you a cut on the profits." Many customers were perplexed, and then upset. "I don't have time to sell videos, I just want my clothes back..How can you open a video store when all your other business are closed?" Now some old customers of the dry cleaners who never had clothing lost jump into the website. "How dare you insult Sam, they cried. He's a good and honest man. He sponsored my son's little league team..he donated money to our charity..I had a beer with him and he is the real deal..He always returned MY clothes and he'll return yours too, be PATIENT>this is not his fault, how was he to know the people in India were selling clothes out the back door, his trusted manager was somehow in on it...Didn't you read the sign when you dropped your clothes off, the one that said "In the event of a worldwide catastrophic increase in the pH of drycleaning solution, your clothing may instantly dissolve without warning, so only dryclean the clothes you can afford to lose.!" Meanwhile the DA continues to investigate, but won't comment on anything. People return to the website, more and more customers come out of the woodwork everyday. "Do you still HAVE OUR CLOTHES?" They asked. "I can't ANSWER THAT", said Sam, in all caps. "HE CAN"T ANSWER THAT, SO QUIT ASKING, WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON ANYWAY??" Sam's supporters all cried. "WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR CLOTHES?" cried the people who originally trusted Sam, but were by now feeling very upset about the whole thing. This went on for months and months (and months). Meanwhile, the DA continued to investigate.
Then Sam answered, and he said,

"Buy some videos, I may have more good news later." **

Now doesnt that make things a little clearer for you all?

Ummm . . . aaah . . its all much clearer now. I’ll be careful where to drop off my dry cleaning.
Thanks!

I think that person hit the nail right on the head though dont you?

Its a pretty dang good analogy I think. It should open a few eyes of the people that cant seem to find a problem with the way things are going.

Is this what may be considered a "parable"? I believe it paints some pretty broad strokes with its imagery. There may be some "thinkers" out there who may not fall for the "banana in the tail-pipe".

It does have a little satirical value, but fails to address the true depth of the nature of the ensuing struggle for the life of the cleaners by the owner of the business. I can't fault him on his "want to". He seems like a survivor, and I believe that he'll pull as many as possible along with him, even some kicking and screaming.

I truly believe that everyone will get their clothes back. He's a good guy and that's just the naked truth.LOL No, seriously, if they don't get the same clothes back, the new ones will have top designer labels.

I know that this is a sincere effort on your part to try and make some of us cheerleaders see things in your perspective.... and thank you, that was sweet of you to do.
But the difference here isn't that we can't see.... it's how we see things.... that's where the difference lies.
It's the age old 'glass is half full or half empty' syndrom. For those of us who like our glasses half full, we're not easily convinced to focus on the dry portion of the glass. I guess maybe it's because we like to dream about how yummy the stuff in the glass is.
You can see this in mmfast's reply.... yeah! bring on those designer threads Bryan!
hey..... I'm 'stylin' now!

Well we have a conspiracy against Pips and Bryan going here. You Mojo, with support of some rebel's, are bringing posts from "Cosmo" of HYIP Discussion forum and you have mission to put some negative effect to good pipsters here, however we do not give dam about you or others that are behind this terrible agenda. We will not allow to be effected by guys as you. If you have anything against Pips this is last place you want to be, even if I am last one to fight battle with you.

It is shame that Mods allow this crap float in this forum.

You are new here so you will probably be attacked since most here dont feel that "newbies" should have a right to post their opinions unless it is in agreement with them. (hell what am I saying they think that about everybody..........but especially new posters)
Good luck!

style, you insult friend and foe alike, with a post like this
