It refelects the hilarity of the claims that had been made, especially when Haplo raises a mention of "morals" for good measure
As for good arguements?
How about them charities eh, not for profit by definition so how on earth do they grow?

Jeez, lad. You are clearly an intelligent person with legitimately thought out and reasoned views, which is why I don't understand why you can't see how the tone you strike undermines the delivery of your content. The view expressed was ridiculous - to you (and perhaps others) - which is an opinion, not a universal truth (Were it so, this discussion wouldn't be happening). I can't figure out why you seem to choose to denigrate rather than educate - and education by denigration may be an effective means of teaching school yard bullies, but you are clearly above that level.
OT: Not-For-Profit means that, at the end of the year, the business may not post a profit. That's all. I've worked for NFPs, and am familiar with their operations. In many cases, funds that would be considered "profit" at the end of the year are instead placed into funds for other business-related expenses - for example, where I worked, a fund for the maintenance of the historic ships. It's usually not much money, unless something amazing happens during the year. Payroll, insurance, production costs, etc - all the expenses that any business, for or not-for profit - incur are part of the NFP bailiwick; the only major difference is the NFP's profit line at the end of the fiscal year must read -0-.
