My 'proof' is that we are not opting for one or the other, I am allowing for both - obligation can be an action and a non-action - action is not a defining aspect. Definitions include both, as we...

I also found that definitions are generally about being obliged to do something. I did find "something one is bound to do or forbear."

My thesaurus, aside from all the action synonyms, included...

Okay, Mr.Webster ;-) ..... Does what I described have another word, then? If the law, for example, requires me to not do something, am I not obligated to not do what the law prohibits? What word...

That's not always true. We have the right to free speech. Where does that put an obligation on someone? The right to work also doesn't put obligations on others. It's not a right to a job. It's a...

...But does the right to work give us the right to pay or a particular salary?...Article 23: 1. Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work...

The problem with rights is, they always create an obligation on someone else. Now, that's not too onerous when the right to life creates the oblgatiion not to go around killing people. But, if one...

I found this to be a very interesting statement. I guess because I have one foot in each sphere at the moment with a part time job and my business. I don't see how getting a job is harder than...

...There's security there that doesn't exist in having your own business...I always smile when I hear this argument. As an employee, you are at the mercy of another person for your "security" - You...

Unfortunately, Frederick, you're more right than you might realize ^^. The entire structure of both public schools and even college is to train people for jobs...I claim to be a history buff, Steve....

That is very true. Facts are facts. Why, though, do we consider starting a business difficult and never menton the difficulty of starting a career. We never compare the difficulty of starting a...

But what I'm trying to get at, Harold, is that I think these are false statistics, probably invented (or at least distorted) by people with something to sell - "Buy my Success Plan CD set and beat...

That's true, too. Which only goes to prove you can make numbers do anything you want them to do!

On the other hand (I should have been an attorney!) - don't you think that "statistics" like 70 percent of businesses fail in the the first two years - would discourage a lot of people from...

...Ford learned from his mistakes in those first two business. Those two businesses failed. Ford himself didn't.Ah, but one of those companies - the Henry Ford Company - was recreated as the Cadillac...

I think the notion that most businesses fail, and 50 percent of startup businesses fail in their first year - and other supposed "facts" are inaccurate or just plain wrong.

Henry Ford started two...

Desides the Great Depression, there have been other downturns of more recent years. Microsoft was started during such a downturn in the 1970s, along with Apple and a few others, I don't doubt.

One of the best bases for starting a business is to identify a problem and solve it. Well, there are likely to be more problems during recessionary times, and therefore more problems for new...
