You are free to speak for yourself. But you have no right to speak for what I think or what what EVERYBODY thinks. You are certainly not free to say that everybody thinks EXACTLY the same way you think. Please get that straight. It is your thinking which is not logical here! Of course he's free to say that everybody thinks exactly the same way he does. He's guaranteed that right by the constitution. Fortunately, he's completely wrong when he does say it. I'm pretty sure you and I are far from being alone in being unimpressed (at least in a good sense) by his displays of reasoning.

KY Floyd - You're right, of course. You said it far better than I.

Dude, again I am still here, i can read your messages whats up with the insults that hurts, did I insult you in anyway, or did I provide constructive criticism, think about it.
ps. yours and everybody else's insult attacks on me personally do hurt.

Is $20 in Australia the same amount as it is in the US? "Gee Brain, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Pinky- try to take over the world."

I was taught to give from the time I was born. I believe in it firmly. It is part of my faith. And it makes me very happy to give....probably why Christmas is my favorite time of the year.

Is $20 in Australia the same amount as it is in the US? its geting very close, exchange rate now is $1 aus =90cUS where as 5 years ago, it was 60c US.
if your economy keeps falling it will be $1=$1 ! ~~~0 ( ) already won the greatest game of chance, now playing for the leftovers.

I like to buy for others. I don't consider those I buy as beggars.
My assistant pulls for me to win each time I play. She says she is too unlucky to hit anything.
I treat her with gifts with any win over $100.  Check out the Dash For Cash on the Discussion forum.

I watch the TV court shows Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown and almost every day someone is suing a friend or family member who thought the money they loan them for rent, bail money, cell phone bills,car payments and etc. was a gift that they was happy to give them.
There are a lot of people out there that think other people are happy to give them their money. What happens most is most likely to happen again
