Human nature we want to keep what we have.

lovely pic!

yes, I think people don't take kindly to those that try to take what's not theirs.

Most cultures teach the rule of ownership. The culture divides things into mine/yours. That sets up a ruthless defense for owned things. I would fully expect a ruthless response to taking from them.

Yes I think they would. I have the opinion that money does very greedy things to people that have acquired a lot of it.

Is this another Persecuted Christian poll?

Thanks to all of you. I was on air with you Kay and it was great. I'm hoping to draw some attention to the fact that there are actual people behind these users on the site. Maybe it will make SOH a little nicer place. :)

I think most of us would protect what is ours whether we have a lot or just a little.

Is that you in the picture? Beautiful!!!

As a general rule, yes, but not always

I was going to say the same thing.

Nice profile Tera. See we noticed. Lol.

Thank you both. Yes, that is me.

human nature we want to have what we don't

It could be that some people have more because they are more protective of it, or more selfish in general. I don't think that is always true though. Sometimes ruthlessness may just be a manifestation of competitiveness. All of it is just enough!

It is nice to put a face with your name. :)

They would be very protective over it

Probably as protector of a brand new car you finally could afford. It's hard to not be protective of something you have earned.

It was great! I was so nervous though I hardly remember anything anyone said. :)

Agreed. I've met many who I joke would gladly sell other's body parts for power and profit. I've also had the honor of meeting those who use their power and money for the good of all people. The latter are far and few between and I cherish them.

This user is currently being ignored

of course.

I believe most would. I believe some have the power to be ruthless about it while others have far less.

Kay, I felt the exact same way and when I went back and watched it I realized how many people were talking and I really hadn't heard half of what they were saying. Maybe the next time we go on it will be easier. :)

@TierasPet, when were you on air?

In my experience rich ppl don't want into get rich. Their wealth is used solely for self interest.

Yes it is. Congrats on your new car. What model is it?

Oops. I mean Tiera.

As they say power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. On the other hand I believe the altruistic "power"of a Gandhi or Mother Theresa is something different altogether!

I agree.

exactly

LOL. Thank you. The cat took a brief hiatus. She'll be back.

I believe when you begin talking about the extremely wealthy, you're exactly right.

Kay beat me to it.

Anyone would protect what's theirs.

Wait... you were on SOHOA with me right? You look different in your picture because the video is harder to see and be focused.

@TierasPet, that's amazing. I'll watch it :-)

Yes. Do I blame them, no.

Well if I had you bet I would

I would need more details to accurately answer this

But, I'm such a nice guy it's hard to imagine

Necessarily I would depend on the quality of person they are. As well as their morals and perhaps their faith.

Not necessarily

I agree that there are always exceptions.

I think so too.

I believe you are right. I am speaking more to those who have quite a bit and may be very ruthless in their attempts to keep it.

I agree.

Thank you which. I believe people would not be happy to lose what's theirs.

As would I. You provided a very good analysis.

Being a Christian did not even enter my mind when I wrote this poll I was thinking of it more as a holistic issue. Extreme power and extreme wealth do not correlate directly with the Christian religion.

I have a similar opinion.
