A good salesperson marketed a modest risk to investors promising modest returns?

True, but managing to put it all together in one game in high res with near photo-realistic detail without major stuttering is new. This is the first game movie that's made me think I may want a next gen system.
Of course the salesperson plays up (often over sells) the features of their product, that's their job.

It was a complete set up and prank - The salesman was NOT in on the prank. I'm going to call this REAL!!

"...But the incident wasn’t as spontaneous as it appeared. According to the owner of the car dealership where the video was filmed the setup started long before Steve met Gordon. It was also reveled that the actual car used didn’t belong to the dealership.

Pepsi MAX & Jeff Gordon Present: "Test Drive"

“We started early in the morning,” dealership owner Wayne Troutman said in an interview with the syndicated show ‘RightThisMinute’. “Probably 6:30 in the morning that they did that video and they were there until dark that night. They supplied the car it was a very high performance car since they knew they would be going with some special tricks with that one."

Troutman praised his unknowing salesperson Steve.

"He did a great job,” Troutman said. “He fell right in to it and a lot of his reactions were very realistic because they were. Once he realized he'd been punked he settled down, but he was really hot when he came back in as you could see from the video. In fact he actually went out on another normal ride with Jeff.”

In fact Troutman added that Gordon himself had a great deal of involvement with the project.

"Jeff had a lot of input in this,” he said. “Not only to the car that was selected to the disguise to the…he actually tried to ahead of time pick the salesman he thought would be the best one to try to pull the prank on. We actually loaned Jeff a 1998 Chevy Venture Van to ride in so he looked like he was another normal North Carolina redneck."

It's not three different Gods..it's three persons, one God. There is only one God, and that
God is three persons. How can God be three persons at the same time? Perhaps because He is
hyper-dimensional, although I don't think that would be an adequate description in reality. I think though that the concept itself illuminates the potential differences between His existence and ours.

How can god be a person and a god at the same time? How does a person exist as a god and a human at the same time? Removing the possibility of god being three identical clones and using your model. Logic and physics state that:
1)God is three persons
2)These three people are god
3)They are not duplicates of each other
4)Therefore: There are three separate gods
This all would have been summed up better had someone used better grammar.


Here is a dictionary definition of person

per·son (pûrsn)
n.
1. A living human. Often used in combination: chairperson; spokesperson; salesperson.
2. An individual of specified character: a person of importance.
3. The composite of characteristics that make up an individual personality; the self.
4. The living body of a human: searched the prisoner's person.
5. Physique and general appearance.
6. Law A human or organization with legal rights and duties.
7. Christianity Any of the three separate individualities of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as distinguished from the essence of the Godhead that unites them.
8. Grammar
a. Any of three groups of pronoun forms with corresponding verb inflections that distinguish the speaker (first person), the individual addressed (second person), and the individual or thing spoken of (third person).
b. Any of the different forms or inflections expressing these distinctions.
9. A character or role, as in a play; a guise: "Well, in her person, I say I will not have you" (Shakespeare).

As you can see, Christianity has its own definition. It is referring to, essentially, that everyone in the Godhead shares the same nature or essence, but that they have their own individual personalities. The Father is not the Son and the Son is not the Father but they are both equally God in nature. Not separate Gods, but one God made of three persons. Just like a human father and son are both equally human because they both share that human nature.

he is an excellent salesperson

I'd say it's even worse than that: medicine is not even concerned with "seeing the atoms" or explaining anything, it's merely about *measuring effects* (and side-effects). If someone were to come up with a new cure that scientists are at loss to explain, but whose effects/side-effects are well-known, then it would be used by doctors (actual example: anaesthetic gases when they were first introduced).

So homeopathy is bonk, not because it is unexplained, but because *it has no effect* (beyond placebo, that is). Hence the common saying: "Alternative medicine that actually works goes by another name: it's called Medicine".

Merry Christmas! And *Please* be kind to your barista (salesperson/ food service worker/whoever is working hard!), or they will get a bazooka for Xmas from Santa and come and get you January 1st!

^ I thought faith in the sum action of greedy individuals in a crowd was what your philosophy was based on.

Since I seem to be accumulating a healthy number of downvotes on my original comment, clearly people disagree with my premise that this shows that greed is not an absolute good. For most people, that's not a revelation, nor offensive, but I've spotted at least 3 at this time who reacted negatively to the assertion.

No one's risen to my challenge to explain either why this was good, or why greed wasn't the cause.

Let me try to make it less confrontational. I'm not saying capitalism is evil -- I'm saying parts of it lead to evil behavior, and I'd love to work together to try to figure out what's wrong and correct it.

I don't think Republican-style conservatives are the cause, but I think their rhetoric pushes things in the wrong direction.

I'd say this incident is mostly a dangerous mix of nihilism, competition, and people's natural tendency in a group to think someone else will handle things like a salesperson lying on the floor.

Still, consumerism built the pressure-cooker that helped make this possible, and I'd love to come up with a solution, because I don't want the free market to go away, I just wish it were less intense at the consumer level somehow, without losing the freedom that makes it so useful in the first place.

When you do the test drive, the salesperson will use a tactics like turning up the radio, making small talk, schmoozing, etc and in an attempt to create a euphoric feeling in you. DO NOT listen to the radio on the test drive. Listen to it before or after the test drive. Ask the salesperson to kindly STFU and listen to the car; the engine, the creaks, the fans, etc.

Another thing to do is to create a list and check everything on the car. Make sure that they don't slap a dealer sticker on the back. They don't do free advertising for you; you shouldn't for them. Demand that it is removed. Also, VIN etching is another little trick they use to throw on an extra $300. Most cars unfortunately come with it already; but if you can, demand that they drop that price. You can buy a VIN window etching kit online for $30. Why would you pay 1000% more?

Also, make a photocopy of your driver's license before you go. They'll want to make a copy of your photo ID to take the test drive. Meanwhile, they run a credit check on you. Instead, say that you've already prepared a printout and give it to them. Also, remember! After the test drive, get it back!

Most traditional churches here in Australia are struggling to get a congregation together. Not a very oppressive force, to my mind. When the Jehovas Witnesses come to my door I tell them to leave, just as I do the cable network salesperson-although mildly annoying, it's hardly oppressive. If you are an atheist feeling oppressed by religious communities, you are paying far too much attention to other people's business.
