Have you read one of her books, or watched the film? Did you enjoy it?

 

If your bin man can write something as good I will pay to see it, but i won't pay to watch him empty bins.

 

The films are brilliant. But it seems she is getting a mighty big slice of cake while other people are getting tiny slivers.

Good isn't it?!!! It's her baby, all her doing, without her none of it would have happened. She is being rewarded for that. Perfect as far as I can see, she is benefiting form the fruits of her labours.

It's the we're all jealous bit that I dont get. Why would it bother me what the bloke up the roads got?

 

In our house we eat when we're hungry and drink when we're dry, why does everyone think we're bothered about what other people have got?

I agree Eggs, just can't understand why anyone should be petty, jealous and resentful of someone like JK.

Millions of people worldwide, including bin men and the like, have given some of their hard earned wages to read her book or watch her film. No one was forced to, and nobody objected. Those people, just like you and me. have made her rich without making ourselves poorer. So why be jealous?

 

Presumably Matelot has never watched any films or read any books for enjoyment for fear of making the author rich.

Your to smart for me Joe, lay mans terms?

 

 

Haha I doubt that!

 

Probably just the cynic in me, but I couldn't help notice that an inventor who sells a product (Easy Lift Guy) is all for capitalism and shuns socialism.

 

Either way it was meant in a light hearted manner :)
