Love is not blind, it sees more, not less. But because it sees more, it is willing to see less.

- Julian Weber Gordon

While walking down the street one day a 'Member of Parliament' is tragically hit by a truck and dies.

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. 'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter. 'Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.'

'No problem, just let me in,' says the man.

'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.'

'Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,' says the MP.

'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.' And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.

Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.

Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly & nice guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises... The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.

'Now it's time to visit heaven.'

So, 24 hours pass with the MP joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.'

The MP reflects for a minute, then he answers: 'Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.'

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.

He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. 'I don't understand,' stammers the MP. 'Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?'

The devil looks at him, smiles and says, 'Yesterday we were campaigning.. ....and....today you voted.'

I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief.

Your stats say you have made 2901 posts till date

Don't fall for such "teams" because only the person who starts the team and the first 3-4 members who join, end up really benefiting from the promised $500+ per year because the entire team is below them. Those that join later end up getting just 1-2 upgraded referrals, many don't even get that.
That $500 promise is just a way to lure members into the team for their own benefit.

When they are alone they want to be with others, and when they are with others they want to be alone. After all, human beings are like that.

yes for 3months as they building the network...it will extend to all of gujrat and then will give free...

Its a very distant dream which seems unlikely in the near future. Even connecting the entire Ahmedabad would be a huge challenge, let alone entire Gujarat.

If in case, someone doesn't like any of the candidates, that person can exercise the right to “NO VOTE” under section "49-O" but its unfortunate and seemingly surprising that the election commission & no doubt the political leaders don't disclose about it. Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties and their corrupt candidates in India. This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine candidates for their parties for election.

P.S : Showing your power & expressing your desire to not to vote for anybody, is even more powerful than voting for someone. (No offence)

Yes, this time the Election Commission has decided that there will be a NOTA (None Of The Above) button

Where in Gujarat do people get free wifi with speeds up to 5mpbs?

If it was a little bigger, it would be a better fit for her avatar.

No, there isn't a bigger size for that one.

Here are a few others.

He has 2 good arguments.

-Clixsense pays less than another site for the same tasks.
-As he said he saw a reduction of his earnings from referrals with the introduction of sticky ads.

The fist one is a fact (at least 2 other sites pay more than clixsense) and can be proved easily if you compare what the same tasks pay here and at least in 2 other sites where they will pay more than clixsense for the same tasks.

So all other sites which pay a little less should simply stop to offer them, right?
ClixSense pays referral commissions for Sticky, Micro & Mini ads, while many sites don't for such ads. ClixSense pays the most for the SSI and surveys from many other panels. What do you have to say about that?
You won't bring these positive aspects into the argument, instead only focus on the Tasks pay rate.
There are always two sides of a coin.

chefkang wrote: The second one can be proved easily if someone from the staff takes a look at his account.

So that means it was a "strategy" by ClixSense to make sure that only his earnings are reduced.
Introduction of sticky ads simply does not prove a reduction in earnings. What if his referrals activity gradually declined which is the case with nearly everyone? You need a regular stream of referrals because many will loose interest in the program. Go check the Top Sponsors list and you will find that their "active" referrals usually reduce with time unless they keep bringing in new members.

chefkang wrote: It's a bit strange to ask him for proofs while you have edited his post to remove the name of a site that was actually a proof for one of his arguments. Anyway it's easy to bring you screenshots that can prove that without revealing the names of the sites, but I think that's not needed since you can go to the site he mentioned and see for yourself. Since you are asking for proofs, can you prove that his arguments are not valid

I removed the names because if hadn't done so, this topic would have become a _______ vs ClixSense topic. Do you want to see such a thread again, which then has to be locked abruptly?

optionaI wrote: Clixsense making a strategic plan to reduce our income I can clearly see that. So good luck with your earnings.

Can you prove that?
No sane person would believe that because the more money members make, the more money ClixSense makes. Does it make sense to plan a "strategy" to reduce members income?
Instead, ClixSense has over the years added more streams of income transforming the site which was once just a PTC to a full-fledged GPT.

You haven't utilised ClixSense to its potential and instead of working hard, you have resorted to making false accusations against ClixSense.
