Moral Question on Marketing

Big Pharma does it every day. Is it ethical or moral, NO, but it's big money for them and that's all that counts.

Watch this movie - tell us what you think...

Thank You for Smoking (2005) - IMDb



Movie preview: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427944/

in the main forum you would prob get a 50-50 split...
here in the basement tho.... these people actually care about things
so your mostly going to hear ... "hell no"

I can't give a blanket answer here. People freak out over project 21 - but if I were offered a job related to that, I'd take it. Being out in nature so much has made me loathe the way that people destroy nature with not so much as blinking. Biomes need immediate protection from the masses of humans devastating it. Now - if you ask most people, they will think I am disgusting for being willing to work on an issue that is seen as a major rights violation to those that want to just go out and enjoy land that the public owns. To me, saving the land is priority and I would not feel the least bit guilty about it.

I could not, however, work at a factory farm and witness the way humans treat life forms that offer profit. I could not work for a pharmaceutical company and know the physical damage being done to millions, and the second hand damage done via pollution of our water by the "runoff" from millions being drugged almost to, and in many cases, to death.

A broader question that could be answered just "yes" or "no" in my head is "Are there things you just won't do for money".

so why not refuse to sell cars because they kill, airline tickets because aeroplanes crash, the list is endless

where do you start and stop

Personally, I wouldn't (and couldn't) do it. It's just... too cheap, money come and go, but health... nope, you have it - you must take care of it. This thing, in another analogy is like selling your brain and heart for a fist of money... Nope, not for me!

is it immoral to sell a car that can do 4 times the speed limit, regardless of the fact i would love one

As a guy who has been around sales and marketing for 15+ years in a corporate environment, Yes I would take the job.

Work is work. I'm not going to smoke a cig but I'll come up with creative ways to help guide those impressionable minds into wanting to be the next James Dean

No I never like it because It affects young generation which are the future of nation. We can't stop youngsters or teenagers to smoke but at least we should not support it.

Always ask yourself: Does this REALLY help people?

For a million bucks ... I'd do it. That's a little over 19k a week. I figure I could suck at least 38k out of them before they figured out I wasn't the right person for the job.

If I was in a position where someone would offer me $1 million a year to do something like that, it would probably mean I was in a position to do much better things with my life.

I couldn't do it. That's promoting possible destruction and death to others lives and I couldn't live with myself no matter how much money they offered. If it's not something that I'd recommend to my kids, family and friends, it's not for me.
