It does matter, And they don't get all the women. :D

But he knew that was satire by many of the better comments he made over the years.

But it is a good scene.


LOL

And yes it is a bit disingenuous, in moderation it does matter. But there is humor in it.

But then again, not all fight for rewards for themselves. What is winning?


Meetballs Campfire.

7. Did you know what the week to ten days was about.

After thinking he should be emperor, Napoleon tried to change the calendar from a 7 day week to a 10 day week to remove the spiritual concepts from the calendar.

He did pretty good till Napoleon started thinking he was more then he was.

I think he probably figured it out later, maybe that is my optimism, maybe it is that the professional was named Leon.

:shrug:

Fun label trap there.

And why that king stuff, and nobility stuff, really doesn't matter much. Learned to avoid the trap that derailed Napoleon.

9. I think it is a spiritual concept, and that is where it misses.

If you understand the women in a spiritual context, then the money is not money anyways.

:D

Then again you have to think what the army and navy is also. If Corporate structure placed former military people into positions of status, that would fit the Roman model, and then people that just pop up in culture, pushed by PR, could be seen as put there from other groups. What if the spiritual did the same thing in the longer context of eternity. But not based on material fighting but spiritual fighting, including many in the military, and many that fight without fighting of coarse.

It is all about levels, and how you think of it. And if you think there is more then just what you have in some point in your life.


LOL, many people have to many blockers to enjoy that performance. <- someone just thought that comment through a blocker also. LOL not that either. LOL
