MLM Script and MLM Software

Can you explain why Multi level marketing is so offensive?

and why working a job till no end and only to retire broke or near broke is socially acceptiable? Jobs screw people every day. Ya know any company can be legit or a scam. As a business model why is mlm so offensive. there are honest businesses that utilize mlm and you have a shot at financial freedom. At a job you only have a shot at a paycheck. Also, something interesting. If a young person wants to retire they will need over a millian dollars saved and invested to draw from in retirement to even maintain the life style they have now. How is a job supposed to even get you near that goal?

1. Because MLM's are usually scams that screw people over.
2. you're right. you've got to have a (.ws) FREE!
3. It's only offensive to the uninformed. Think about it, this is Yahoo Answers... do you really think its going to attract people who understand that MLM is a good thing? Look up MLM on Froogle.com and you will see it doesn't offend too many people, it's just this place.
4. It's not offensive. Are you talking to people who don't get out much? People want education, not hype. Network Marketing is well received! Just ask your friends and neighbors if they are a an associate of a MLM company and they will show you, because they like the quality of their product or service.
5. I am both an evangelical christian, and a distributor in a MLM business. Both CAN be offensive to people for the same reason. Both are supposed to be OFFERED to people, not forced upon them. In the Bible, there's a parable found in Matthew 13 that all Christians and distributors in MLM companies need to read, learn and practice. It's the parable of the sower and the seed. The seed is good. Not everyone wants it. It is not within my power to make them want it. In Christianity, only the holy spirit can convict a person and cause them to be ready to receive Christ - when we accept that, we do not push Christianity on anyone, but offer it to everyone. In MLM (or Network Marketing) we need to realize that as far as recruiting is concerned, we are in the sifting business, not the convincing business. We offer the opportunity to all, but not all are in the right life situation to either recognize it, or want it. We simply need to leave these people with knowing that the door is always open for them if their situation changes. Besides, the people who get "convinced" to join do not succeed, and so neither will the one who sponsors by that manner. For a high retention rate, only sponsor people who are ready to start a business.
