    They're both more important than speaking irish


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,739 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    I'm not cheap.

    But Knowledge is power IMO.

    A Man with a little knowledge can make a lot of money if he does it right!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    I'd say knowledge to find the money!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,534 ✭✭✭SV


    Knowledge will get you the money.
    Money will never get you the knowledge.

    I'd still take the money though..

    you need plenty of money to get knowledge


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,553 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    People pay money for to know stuff so I'd rather be the one handing out the information! Easy job!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,342 ✭✭✭Long Onion


    Considering the fact that all winners of mastermind are taxi drivers or on the dole, I'll take the cash please.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭bluto63


    Knowledge. Far more important than money imo


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,454 ✭✭✭mink_man

    As a knowledgeable person, definitely money!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,257 ✭✭✭SoupyNorman


    On average you seem to find more washed up poets, philosophers and generally all round knowledgeable folks living on the streets and giving advice in bars for two fingers of whiskey, Whereas on the flip side you generally find thick, trust fund idiots who fall on their feet, threat other humans like lesser people, discriminate, drink and drive in their high powered saloons and can probably count on their money to get them off lightly on a serious assault and murder charges (in this country).


    If I had to choose, I'd choose knowledge...Ray Mears' knowledge.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    Neither! Watch scarface for the answer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,193 ✭✭✭shqipshume


    Money,With money you can go and get knowledge ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,662 ✭✭✭RMD


    Something my Dad told me which I still go by today

    "A man with knowledge will thrive if given the finance, the man with money but no knowledge of how to use it will only have money for so long".

    So ye both if possible, if not knowledge.

    More important for what? Success? Happiness?

    For ****'s sake, do some people not get that there isn't one unit of "goodness" that everything is measured against?

    ie, Doors are better than windows, therefore when I build my house it'll have twenty doors and no windows.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    Money gets you bitchiz.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,213 ✭✭✭SoWatchaWant


    Also, do you have a problem with vitamin B12, OP?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,992 ✭✭✭✭partyatmygaff


    Simple, I'll be a teacher.
    Knowledge and Money(And 185 days off to spend it all).

    You can have alot more fun with money than knowledge

    ie, Doors are better than windows, therefore when I build my house it'll have twenty doors and no windows.

    The only trouble with your fine analogy is that it sounds like a cool house. "You want UV light, plug in a goddam sunlamp. There's a socket by the door. Not that door."

    it depends really...

    how much knowledge and how much money?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,940 ✭✭✭Corkfeen


    I prefer knowledge and if you have enough of it you could make a hefty profit along the line. ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 263 ✭✭Mr check raise

    Bull. Microchip factories, genetics research and large hadron colliders all require large mountains of money in order to function....

    I read the title as 'Monkey or knowledge'.

    Deffo Monkey.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,110 ✭✭✭Aodan83


    Depends on the amount of money, and what knowledge. A billion euro? Deal. The knowledge of how to turn base metals into gold, deal. Or, as some one else said, Ray Mears knowledge, deal.

    You know if that actually ever happened gold would be devalued so much it would become near worthless.

    And what a miserable dead language it is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Well, in my case it has to be money.

    Cuz I can't go to any college, do what I really want to do and get any type of a grant cuz I already have a degree that's not enough to get me a job nowadays in the respected field.

    Dammitt!! :mad:

    Knowledge doesn't buy you hookers!!

    Snort cocaine with my piles of spare cash?




































    Nope.

    Question should have been: money or wisdom.

    You can have plenty of knowledge and not know what to do with it.

    So I'll take the money, please.
