In my first year of college in 2000, I took a critical/logical
thinking writing course. I don't remember much of it because writing
and language arts are not my best subjects. But I remember that I
found it interesting because of all the different types of arguments
there were. I remember the terms ad hominem, circular arguments,
slippery slope, etc. I remember the instrutor saying that
politicians use these arguments all the time. (I am not really into
politics, but upon analysis of some debates, I found it cool to spot
those kind of arguments.)
I have found it extremely interesting that MLM supporters use these
logical fallacies. (Is that the right term?) For example how Dawn
tries to attack Hal by asking if he has kids, etc, etc. in a way
attacking his character, and avoiding the argument at hand. It is
funny to me because after being aducated by Hal about ad hominem i
realized that my cousin did the same thing to me. If you don't mind
I am cutting and pasting her last email to me. I am willing to be
that anyone would find the tone harsh and emotional. Note:
Honestly, the only thing I said that may have pushed her buttons was
that she should research MLM's and that I could find the main
ingredient for cheaper. I did not say her particular MLM was a
fraud, because honestly I don't know much about MLM's at the time. I
just read the wikepedia definition for MLM and thought she should
check it out. This is her last word.
FIRST OF ALL I DONT EVEN KNOW WHY WE ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT THIS...
WHETHER YOU DIDNT INTEND TO...YOU DID. WE WOULD NEVER REACT THIS WAY
IF WE DIDNT FEEL THAT. MAYBE YOU JUST DONT REALIZE THAT COMING FROM
YOUR END. IF WE WERE NOT IN THE BUSINESS YET THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN
BETTER BUT WE ALREADY ARE. ITS LIKE DO YOU THINK WE ARE STUPID ENOUGH
TO JOIN THIS?
MY DAD WHO OWNS SEVERAL BUSINESSES LOOKED THIS UP BECAUSE I SHARE
EVERYTHING WITH HIM AND HE NEVER TOLD US IT MAY BE A SCAM..WHY?..
HE KNOWS IM NOT STUPID ENOUGH TO DO IT IF IT WAS! AND HE SAID HIMSELF
MULTILEVEL BUSINESS IS GOOD. HOW WILL A BUSINESS GROW IF THERE ARE NO
DITRIBUTORS TO JOIN...ITS JUST LIKE A TREE..JERED WENT TO MEETING
LAST NIGHT FOR MORTGAGE INVESTMENT AND STOCKS...SAME WAY OF
BUSINESS...MULTI LEVEL....THIS GUY WHO JOINED ZIJA WHEN IT FIRST CAME
OUT HAS 500 PEOPLE HE INTRODUCED THIS TO AND SO HE GETS ACOMMISION
FROM ALL THOSE PEOPLE...ITS A GOOD TIME TO JOIN BECAUSE WE ARE ON THE
TOP LEVEL ALREADY....MANY YEARS LATER THERE WILL BE ALOT OF PEOPLE IN
THIS LIKE A TREE....THIS BUSINESS IS IN NO WAY A WAY TO MAKE
MONEY....ITS NOT ALOT....ITS JUST ON THE SIDE AND WHY NOT WITH A
GREAT PRODUCT LIKE THIS...IF MONEY IS THE GOAL TO BE IN
ZIJA....PEOPLE BETTER NOT JOIN THEN...OUR REASON FOR JOINING MORE ON
SPREADING THE WORD FOR BETTER HEALTH RATHER THAN MAKING COMMISION.WE
JUST WANTED TO HELP YOU SINCE YOU DID SAY YOU WANTED TO...BUT OTHER
THAN THAT WE DIDNT REALLY CARE WHETHER YOU WERE OR NOT. WE ARE JUST
HERE TO HELP PEOPLE.
THIS COMPANY IS MADE FROM PEOPLE THAT ARE WELL KNOW CHEMISTS AND
SCIENTISTS AND AWARD WINNING SCIENCE RESEARCHES..
NOT JUST ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO WORK AT A LAB AND MADE THIS DRINK....THE
OWNER OF THIS IS A TOP NUTRITIONISTS AND SCIENTISTS WHO NOW WORKS
FULL TIME WITH CHARITY AND GIVES ALL HIS EARNINGS FROM THIS TO
CHARITY...OBVIOUSLY YOU DIDNT RESEARCH ENOUGH SINCE YOU KNOW NOTHING
ABOUT THIS COMPANY...
IN AUGUST JERED AND UNCLE MIKE WILL BE FLYING TO VEGAS TO ATTEND A
CONVENTION IN VEGAS BECASUE THERE WILL BE A ZIJA STORE IN VEGAS..WHY
HAVE DISTRIBUTORS THEN....WELL FOR BETTER COMMUNICATION AND FOR
PEOPLE WHO DONT LIVE IN VEGAS...EITHER WAY ITS THE SAME PRICE AND
WILL PROBABLY BE MORE EXPENSIVE AT THE STORE. LAST NIGHT THERE WAS A
PHONE MEETING WITH THE GUY WHO ACTUALLY MADE THIS DRINK. IT WAS
NEAT....IT WAS NATIONWIDE SO PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER ASKED HIM
EVERYTHING..
WE KNOW THERE ARE MORINGA TREE BRANCHES AT SEAFOOD AND RANCH 99 AND
WEBSITES THAT SELL SEEDS TO PLANT. THIS COUNTRY IS TO FAST PACED. IM
A BUSY MOM....EVERYONE WORKS....NOT EVERYONE HAS THE TIME TO PLANT A
TREE AND MAKE THEIR OWN SALADS. WE CHOOSE THE DRINK BECAUSE FIRST OF
ALL THE TREE BY ITSELF IS DISGUSTING. IT TASTES LIKE CRAP. NOT
EVERYONE WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE TASTE. THE FORMULATOR EXPLAINED
THATS WHY HE ADDED CANE SUGAR TO ADD FLAVOR AND TO HELP THE BODY WITH
ABSORPTION TO ABSORB THE NUTRIENTS BETTER.HE HIMSELF REALLY VOMITED
BECAUSE THE FIRST THING HE DID WAS BLENDER IT PURE.IN AFRICA THEY
HAVE NO OPTION SO THEY HAVE TO JUST EAT THE LEAVES STRAIGHT. BUT
SINCE WE HAVE THIS OPTION WE CHOOSE THIS. WHY DRINK TAP WATER WHEN
THERE IS PURIFIED. AND THE WAY ZIJA IS MADE COMES FROM MORINGA TREES
WITHOUT THE PESTICIDES IN AN ENVIRONMENT UNDER A TENT BECAUSE THE SUN
WILL KILL MOST OF THE NUTRIETNS. MY BEST FRIEND WORKS OUT AT LA
FITNESS HERE AND SHE INTRODUCED IT TO PEOPLE WORKING OUT AND THEY
SAID ITS "CONVENIENT"
CASE A MONTH AND WE DRINK IT EVERY OTHER DAY. FILIPINOS WILL ALWAYS
SAY THEY CAN JUST BUY IT. BUT THIS IS HOW WE WANT IT AND THROUGH
RESEARCH THIS IS THE PUREST AND ORGANIC AND CLEANEST WAY POSSIBLE
FORMULATED TO WORK WITH THE HUMAN BODY TO ABSORB BETTER.AT SEAFOOD
CITY FROM THE TREE TO THE STORE SHELVES THERE IS CONTAMINATION
ALREADY AND WHO KNOWS WHAT BUGS HAVE TOUCHED THE LEAVES ALREADY AND
ALL THE BACTERIA FROM THEM THROWING IT ON TRUCKS AND BOXES. WITH
MORINGA POWDER IT TASTES LIKE SO BITTER.IF YOU ADD SUGAR FROM THE
STORE THAT SUGAR IS NOT NATURAL AND IT WONT HELP IN ABSORPTION.
WE CAN GO ON AND ON BACK AND FORTH AND REALLY ITS A WASTE OF BOTH OF
OUR TIMES. YOU SEEM LIKE YOUR ALWAYS CORRECT ABOUT THINGS AND THAT WE
DONT KNOW MUCH AND YOU CANT ACCEPT THE FACT THAT EVEN IF YOU DIDNT
INTEND TO DO YOU THINK WE WOULD BE FEELING LIKE THIS TOWARDS YOU NOW?
IF YOU WANT TO RESPOND ITS OK YOU DONT HAVE TO BECAUSE WHATEVER YOU
SAY I WILL SAY SOMETHING BACK ANYWAYS.NEXT TIME DONT ASK PEOPLE HOW
THINGS ARE IF YOU PLAN ON JUST TRYING TO ACT LIKE YOU KNOW MORE THAN
THE PEOPLE IN IT BY THINKING THEY ARE STUPID NOT KNOWING THERE ARE
SCAM AND ILLEGAL BUSINESSES OUT THERE....YOU MUST REMEBER YOU EMAILED
US THAT AS PEOPLE ALREADY IN THE BUSINESS....
US TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN....IF THATS CONCERN IN YOUR
WORLD...TO THE PEOPLE YOU TALK TO ITS MORE OFFENSIVE. I RESPECT
EVERYONE AND YOU KNOW THAT SO ME BEING THIS WAY NOW...THERES A REASON.
Disgusting huh? This is why I am an MLM survivor. Thanks Hal, I can
now spot all the MLM talk. :@)
