Why the truth is not in them ??

I wonder how many people have been told something by a buyer, that was no where near the truth....I hate to think how many times I  have been told that I will send a Pay-Pal tomorrow, or I'll send you a check tonight....and never do anything of the kind.....I've been waiting for two weeks for a check from a guy in Michigan  , I have sold a item 13 times on another web-site based on what a person has told me and never received the first penny..........Does anyone tell the truth anymore ??   I have one web-site that I do business on that has a 98% negative truth rate.....Isn't that a poor way to deal with people ??     What are your experience ??

Nonoise you misread the post....Nobody ever said that J.P. is the man that "comes up" with the idea... Speaking about a fact is not coming up with the idea....

The rant on Marx is not mine, but J.P. studied marxism and nazism his brother ideology and comes to some conlusions about the 2 linking them together as negation of the free individual spirit of man...

Events on the world scene eclipse all our small ideas for the time to come anyway.....

It is more essential than ever that we together look for the points of convergence between us or some subject that unites us.... Audio perhaps or music.... :)

I know... But what you said was inspired by your misreading of the post of millercarbon....And truth being truth i feel that i must say something about it....I apologize because i respect you....

And even if i am not in the same political wagon than millercarbon i respect him also....And i like J.P. then i feel to have the right to speak my mind.... 

My best to you....

Trust is a universal concept. No one ideology owns it. Or species for that matter.

Trust is largely determined by perspective.
Different perspectives is not the Same as nihilism. It just means people see things differently from their particular unique perspective in the world.

When all see the same thing from different perspectives then there is truth. When there is truth there is trust. 

Regarding hifi transactions, there are always a few bad apples in the barrel.
Verify then trust.

When you sell one item out of 20, that's a poor percentage.......I've always trusted people, and I still do to a large degree, and I hate to approach every transaction with a bad attitude,,,,,It seems a lot worst on different websites.....Almost like the requirements are different....But trust shouldn't be in the class of people who frequent  one site or another.....I never have problems on Audiogon, but the procedure is different....
