The answer is simple.
Real love
It can buy you happiness, it can buy you sex, it can buy you everything. But it can't buy you the real love of someone.
Its either that or it can't buy you fire resistant clothing that would survive a walk on the sun :D

What about abstract things? You can't buy ideas, emotions, or actions.
a little question dealy - Guest - 04-18-2004
You can buy ideas, emotions, etc. Otherwise we wouldn't have acting, architects, etc.

Sure you can buy poverty, just spend all your money moving to a third world country.
How is hiring architects and actors buying emotions and ideas? You're buying their services because you like their ideas. The emotions come from experiencing the work. If indirectly acquiring things through financial transactions counts as buying them, then there is nothing that can't be bought.
Although it would be difficult to buy existence.

It can't buy state of mind unless your a moron who is very easily influenced.
a little question dealy - FreeFall - 04-18-2004
"I have this good idea/emotion/whatever the crap."
"Let's hear it."
"bloobity blah blah blah."
"that's awesome I want to buy it from you. I'll give you a million dollars and it will be mine. tell no one. for if you do, hell will come for you"
"Sweet, i'm a millionaire"
of course this is talking about it in a more literal sense.

I think in some ways money can help get love you might call it buying love i don't know cause lets face it all of you that have ever met a boy or a girl know that well umm obviesly you wouldent have met them if you were on the corner holding a sighn that says {will word for food} and {Wanksta} talking about god made me think there is one thing you can't buy well for those of you that belive in heavin it can't buy your way into it cause even if you donate all of your money to starving children if you are doing it to get into heavin that is not a selfless act and a selfless act is what you would be going for buy doing that so i think that money can't get a mean person into heavin but it also won't nessesaraly get a nice person into heavin either cause a nice person is nie before they get the money enyway but of course enyone can argue the two points i just stated cause there is an argue to everything and i can come up with some pretty nagetive cons about them two : )

True. You would do it out of sincerity, out of obedience and out of humility. The reward is not heaven but a hundred times more what you gave IF you get to heaven.
Consider this passage...it makes you think about wealth and how we hold to it.
Quote:Mat 19:16Â And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Mat 19:17Â And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Mat 19:18Â He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Mat 19:19Â Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Mat 19:20Â The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
Mat 19:21Â Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
Mat 19:22Â But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
Mat 19:23Â Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 19:24Â And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Mat 19:25Â When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
Mat 19:26Â But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!?!
its called a fake id and i dont think anything BUT money can buy that.
a little question dealy - PIX - 04-19-2004
LOL !! I thought people MADE those...not bought them.
a little question dealy - RushJet1 - 04-19-2004
You can't buy permanent satisfaction. Every time you buy anything, you are not permanently satisfied... so you buy something else.
You cannot buy character traits - as in if you are somewhat "slower" mentally than other people ... you can't spend money to make yourself more intelligent. You can add knowledge, sure, and you can surround yourself with intelligent people, but you cannot yourself become more intelligent.
You can't buy sincere friends, ones who accept you for who you are regardless of the money. People may befriend you for the money, but not for who you are.
