How the fuck is that possible? I would be happy as hell if I had all that...

[Ozzy Wrong]

I read this as a loop, for A is meaningless without B and B cannot exist without A.

[PennyForMe]

I read this as a loop, for A is meaningless without B and B cannot exist without A.

How can A be meaningless? You could have eternal life. Who cares if you aren't happy? eventually you'll convert yourself into a killer cyborg and have no need for emotions.

Not really, you just have to be careful with the definition of happy.

<<<<<<<<<< hedonist.

[Mount Ain]

A, because its impossible to be unhappy and rich, therefore your poll logic is flawed.

[iza]

Who the fuck chooses to be unhappy? What's wrong with you people

[Desperado[1G]]

That depends on what I may choose as "being happy"

[-Jotun]

B.

Who gives a fuck if I'm poor, if I'm happy im obviously doing something right. Just because I can't purchase something doesn't mean I can't be happy.

Being poor doesn't mean being broke. Two completely different things, being rich would make me happy but that's not an option. I chose the best one.

To those of you who don't choose B., good luck assholes LOL.

Who defines what happy is?

Sorry, but I don't think I'd be that happy dying from malnutrition before the age of 18, watching my family die off from malaria at the same time, maybe a bit of cholera.

[heroshade]

Why the fuck would I want to be unhappy, what kind of question is that?

[Vessol]

Because he's a liberal who thinks that anyone who is rich must be unhappy and tries to comfort himself in the fact that he may be poor, but at least he's happy!

I lived A for the last 5 years -
its a dirty life style the drugs,money, and girls...

im living b now - its a much better place

[Erratic]

I believe the answer has to be B depending on how you define happiness. If being poor made you happy why would you want to be rich? Sure to us that sounds great, but if by definition you were happy living in squalor in Africa than the answer couldn't possible be A since you wouldn't be happy and wouldn't want any of what you had.

Those of you who chose A didn't correctly define Happiness imo and therefore answered incorrectly...

[Dyrrn]

lets see. i'm poor and unhappy now, so A. why? because happiness doesn't put food on the table or pay the bills.

[Mount Ain]

lets see. i'm poor and unhappy now, so A. why? because happiness doesn't put food on the table or pay the bills.

Well why bother paying bills or any of that unless its an attempt at being happy?

[Tomaj]

B easy this fits in with my wish that humans would go back to living in small vilages farming and hunting what we need to survive, sure fre way to get rid of fat people to...if i had every thing it wouldnt be enough humans by nature are overwhelmingly greedy and wastefull, atleast in the modern age of "mans greatness"

[Snoopy]

A. Even tho i doubt you can have all that and be unhappy lol

[Erratic]

lets see. i'm poor and unhappy now, so A. why? because happiness doesn't put food on the table or pay the bills.
But in this particular question it DOES... Happiness is just that, it means that you have everything you want no matter how stupid it may appear to others. The answer has to be B due to the wording of the question...

Yes! Let's go back to 40-year lifespans, tons of disease, wide-spread malnutrition, and all that jazz. Go live in the woods you idealistic hippie.

[Rathynas]

I'd like to be rich and unhappy rather than poor and happy. I could make myself happy through richness, and being poor would eventually make me unhappy. Besides, no one's ever really happy anyway.

[GFH_Spike]

I would select option A, then move to a hovel in the middle of Africa for my happiness while already possessing substantial material wealth.

[DarkLily]

B for me, happy is good. Although not keen on the whole hovel in Africa, little bunglaow in norfolk suits me better. Still poor though.

[purdyaw]

what does this even mean? If I were rich, I'd find a way to make myself happy.

I picked B, though...

[jordanleroux]

A

The euphoria heroin provides me will make me happy.

[chewbaccasdad]

Who defines what happy is?

Sorry, but I don't think I'd be that happy dying from malnutrition before the age of 18, watching my family die off from malaria at the same time, maybe a bit of cholera.

Don't forget the AIDS!

I'd choose A, I wouldn't want to live in fucking Africa. And I like drugs.

[Badem]

I chose A

I may not be happy but ,shit, with all that money i can fill that gap, Hookers, coke, booze, custom Super computers to download Porn, Make my own Porn movies

fuck yeah

fuck happiness, Money cures all ill's

[MrKhuan]

I cannot imagine being happy, but A allows you to make others happy, B does not. There yah go

[Rourke]

I'm gonna have to go with B too, but not the Africa part. You CANNOT be happy in Africa.

I've had both. Now I am somewhere in the middle. Not rich, not poor. I can buy things I want, but I can't afford to live in a 6,000 sq ft house. Not that I would anyways.

Give me a 6 pack of good beer, a fishing pole, and a rock by the ocean, and I can live happy.

:rolleyes:

sorry but this is pretty endemic of what is going on in the workd right now.

the " I am not happy, but if I keep buying things I might be happy" attitude is not right.

[Odie]

If I'm rich I can just hire people to be happy for me! and all the poor and happy people will be jealous of me and kill themselves.

[Hitom]

Allready am "rich" and unhappy. Happiness is an overrated state of mind anyways. You see things way more clearly if you're at a stable depressed level of conciousness.

[Rourke]

People have forgotten how to just "be" imo. When I started hunting about 6 years ago, I was sitting up in a tree stand, just relaxing, watching the woods come alive at dawn, and it was so cool.

It's so easy to forget how simple life really can be, and how we lose perspective being human.

While I would not really WANT to hunt for food everyday, it is nice to get back to the basics once and a while, and forget about cell phones, work, voice mails, traffic, ect.

If I was rich (multi-millionaire rich), I would buy 2 homes. 1 on the ocean in Cape Cod, and one up in Maine in the mountains. Both modest, and easy to maintain. Then I would just chill the fuck out, and never worry again.

[Sqarak]

A) Then I have enough money to make everone else lives miserable as well, even the one poor happy dude in africa.

I'm a liberal? Huh, I never knew.

It's nothing to do with how things work in real life (although the fact is that being rich does NOT necessarily make you happy), it's a question of which you would prefer if you had to choose. Someone asked me this question a while ago and I thought it was interesting.

[Weeking]

Assuming its about being a different person, not suddenly getting a lot of money or suddenly having an onset of euphoria, then: Being rich would be detrimental since rich people have fewer kids. Therefore poor and happy.

If it was a sudden onset, being happy would be a symptom of insanity or dementia and therefore no a good thing. Thus rich and unhappy.

[holychicken]

It makes me sad how close this is to 50/50.

Why anyone would choose unhappiness over happiness totally baffles me. Just goes to show how stupid people actually are.

[Kusghuul]

Having money and women is the definition of happiness.

But then I realized, if i could have all the things i wanted including the girl I want, I'd be so fucking happy it's impossible

[Jack_Daniel]

Well I certainly would choose B. It seems that the more I get the more depressed I am. I've considered just dropping it all and getting the fuck out, but I'm too much of a consumer to do it. One day I'll probably just wake up in the morning, walk out the door and never look back.

[Delthayre]

I'm usually unhappy for reasons unrelated to wealth, so I might as well be rich if I'm miserable, besides, then I can direct the wealth that is failing to elevate my happiness to charitable causes in the hopes that it might help someone.

[Adraedan]

Remember when cutting yourself used to just be something you did if you were horribly bored? I can remember sitting infront of the TV and my hand wandering to a toothpick or a fork or any sort of sharp object and just picking holes in myself. I can't remember how many times I've come across some random skin anomoly and just carved it out of my arm. I have a hole dug so deep in my leg that it's like a permanet crater just from stabbing at it with stuff.

Maybe I'm just weird.

[jonyak]

yep.

[swiftbuster]

money=peace of mind which in turn makes you happy.

Women=happy no matter what.

Things does not equal happiness. Fucking morons.
Things will only enslave you more, making your life a chore. If your brain is amused too much and for too long, it will learn to not appreciate most of it. And the brain got an incredible nack for learning.

Problem. This poll posits that I would have everything I want. Everything is a very big list, it includes things like eternal amusement, interesting things to study, and new experiences. I can do without simple happiness, there are other ways to enjoy myself (hell, I don't even like being happy very much now... the closest I really come to happy is drugged out of my skull).

[Temet nosce]

I have, they put me on more serious drugs. I got addicted to them, started using them improperly, realized I was addicted, stopped taking them cold turkey (worst withdrawal I've ever gone through), and resolved to never pay attention to them again. I never actually recovered though, prior to this it was mostly a problem of being bipolar, some abusive family shit, etc (maybe kinda serious, but I would've dealt with it eventually). Now however, I have a whole suite of problems. Including never feeling awake, as if the world were shut away behind fog... See, my dopamine and serotonin production levels appear to have been permanently impaired by what they had me on (along with doing a few other marvelous things).

Ehm? You don't want to be happy because you're not happy?

I'll be more clear, being happy means you're satisfied (I'm taking this definition narrowly). I dislike the very concept of being satisfied, since it implies that I'm no longer progressing. I prefer interest and amusement.
