Ripsmacker181 0 #1 September 18, 2006 Rich people make me Sick, honestley it makes me puke, bentleys, pet pooches and diamond tiarras. Designer brands and anorexic women' i'd be scared i'd break it. And I've heard the only way to diet is the nose candy, nicotine and caffine intake only diet. It works for most. Just look at the results. Who needs a 50 bedroom, Star Island mansion. I don't know that many people. it would be a one in the bed romp, I can do that now with my glove puppet. Mind you I'm just jealous. if I beg on the streets by new year 3019, I should be able to afford it. Lets hope I'm a good one man band. Life just ain't fair but hey money can't buy you happiness. The rest is something the rich say to the rich about the poor to make themselves feel better. It'll be okay, once you take out those extra loans and remortgage the house you feel grand.

AggieDave 6 #2 September 18, 2006 Huh, I've known some really down to earth and kind rich people. They're typically the ones that are just good people anyways and don't flaunt their money. They just do what they like. One of them is really into Champs (the airplane) so he has something like 6 or 7 of them and he keeps restoring more and more. He loves it. Of course, by "restoring" it I don't mean he's paying someone to do it, he got his A&P and his airframe rating. HE is restoring the planes. You know, the only rich people that you ever hear about are the people doing stupid rich people stuff. You don't hear about the thousands of other well off folks that are decent people and basically normal people. Ironically, the Lottery winners tend to be the worst out of the bunch, from what I've read.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Ripsmacker181 0 #3 September 18, 2006 You restore my faith in common decency, but I'm still jealous. Used to know a relativley rich guy, were good friends, till he shund me. I want in G'Damit. Did you know that apparently, and this is a rumour, there are police mugshots of a young Bill gates, apparently. Would love to know what for. That guy stepped every rung of the ladder. From a one bedroomed flat share to an automated luxury house. I wonder if it talks to you. Welcome home, the wifes out, theres beer in the fridge and the baths running.MediCare : Allergic to Prison.

Rebecca 0 #5 September 18, 2006 Every person from every walk has some burden to bear. There are millions of people out there MUCH worse off than you and me, and there's a much smaller number than that who are significantly better off. The simple fact that we have computers, internet access and enough scratch for a few luxurious fun jumps is proof of that alone. Besides, remember the poor guy in Carolina who won the lottery and watched his life go to hell? Not saying you'd be dumb enough to carry it around in cash, just be careful what you wish for. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

squirrel 0 #6 September 18, 2006 I suggest you go spend some time in a truely poor country. No roads, power, phones to order a pizza, no pizza, no crapper, no toliet paper...get the picture. you are lucky to be in the US (if you are) where you can be born under a bridge, and become a millionaire if you want. I am the last of 8 kids from a family that never made more that 35k a year...the ones that tried, succeeded. just my 2 cents ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

SpeedRacer 1 #8 September 18, 2006 Interesting. I've seen it go the other way too. I grew up during the '80s around Boston when it was a hot place for the blooming computer industry at that time. Some of the friends I went to high school with learned to program very young, & started their own businesses, or worked for Microsoft or other soon-to-be-gigantic companies. Some got very rich, but they always treated me & other people the same as far as I could tell. Sadly, there were a few (non-rich) individuals among my circles of friends that suddenly got all weird & resentful about the rich ones. I guess they assumed that the rich friend was now one of "the evil rich" who think they're better than everyone else. Ironically it was actually the poor guy who was being snobby & classist towards the rich guy, and not the other way around.

Supposedly, it was for speeding in his Porsche. He didn't have a complete start at the bottom. His parents were quite wealthy to begin with. As for rich people's attitudes. I know a couple that are real down to earth types so I can't really buy into the stereotypes against them.Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nanook 1 #12 September 18, 2006 QuoteLife just ain't fair but hey money can't buy you happiness. Money can't buy you happiness (it can't buy sadness and lonliness either), but it can buy a great amount of comfort which can be a foundation of allowable happiness. It can also buy a lot of beer and hookers.QuoteAnyway Lottery, here I come. Just remember that the rich are rich because their assets provide a return that negates the need of a "paycheck". A lot of lottery winners go bankrupt because they don't leave the "paycheck" concept behind._____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
