Amway Global (formerly known as Quixtar North America) is a multi-level marketing (MLM) or network marketing company, founded 1959 in Ada, Michigan, United States. It is privately owned by the families of Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel through Alticor which is the holding company for businesses including Amway, Amway Global, Fulton Innovation, Amway Hotel Corporation, Gurwitch Products, Hatters Yachts and manufacturing and logistics company Access Business Group[1]. After the launch of Amway Global originally operating under the name Quixtar, it replaced the Amway business in United States, Canada and the Caribbean, with the Amway business continuing to operate in other countries around the world. Company officials confirmed in June 2007 that, over the subsequent 18 to 24 months, Quixtar will merge with its sister companies of Amway organizations around the globe to form under one new name Amway Global.[2].[dated info]



So an opportunity during hard times to start a business form a guy who lives in this mother fucking house has come up.

As I understand, it works as a networking social business networking , business... Where I can buy my own stuff (If I wanted too) and get paid for it. Putting it in the words of the speaker, " When you shop at Walmart or Target do they pay you for just being there buying things? Well they don't so fuck them. Buy Amway."

Apparently if I did I'll get 3%? Some how according to him living my life solely buying my goods from Amway I'll be sent a check for like 70.00 a month. But that's not what's Amway is for.

If I get a network of others to buy from me and training them to be apart of this business and offering these same opportunities that's how I can make money.

So, as someone who's been unemployed for a year this all sounds very temping. But, I didn't leave that seminar without some necessity to bring it up here. I can't be the only one who's been thinking of joining Amway.


So, do I buy in SE++

Anyone else doing this?

    This is literally the exact definition of a pyramid scheme.

    Like, not even trying to cleverly hide it or anything.

    I have these sweet and juicy apples filled with heroin. I just need you to stick them up your ass and waddle across the border.

    Be cool, though. Border agents can smell your pleasure.

    i got a better story

    i was on my way to drop hellajeff off at his house

    but we parked the truck and stopped so I could smoke

    a guy without a shirt or shoes on in heavy rain walks up to us and tells us to get out of in front of his house

    we are not near his house, we are on the street

    i say i am finishing my cigarette then we're heading out

    he walks to his house and gets a fucking baseball bat

    dumb cunt scared the shit out of me and i am very angry
