    I agree that marketeers go way to far. But in your video there is no argumentation at all.

    It is just: the are scammers... the end!

    Why are the products bad? Do they not deliver their promise? Is the price to high? Is it really bad to influence people to buy? Are ALL marketeers evil? Etc. etc.

    From my point it is like saying: black people / homoseksuals / jews (whatever) are evil. We call that discrimination.

    Not ALL marketeers are evil and if you think that... you are evil!

    there is no way to get rich quick, besides you have really much luck with lottery or something. But you can still create a serious online business with the "bidroop" movement. Google for bidroop or look it up on youtube!

    There were a few things that were said that are true, the sales pitch of the boiler room is true. But here's what's not true, the conspiracy theory that there's a group of people that want to get all of the money from you... They are marketers, they should bring in the big bucks for their companies!!! I wonder what the guy that made the video does for a living...oh wait.. he is a marketer too?

    Total BS. With little exception, he is basically saying all solid online or offline sales and marketing techniques are scams.

    By the way, nice apartment, what do your parents do for a living?
