1. They don't run me.

Edited on Tue Aug-10-10 12:33 AM by RandomThoughts

I was at a bar, and a group came up and asked to buy the shirt I was wearing, literally in the bar they offered me 80$ to buy the shirt off my back. And I only had a few dollars.

And it is my Logan's run Shirt. (I like the Logan's Run shirt in Winter mostly, then the North Star earth tones shirt in summer.)

You know what, if they needed the shirt I would have given it to them, but there intent was to show that because they have money they could buy me into embarrassment. They weren't trying to buy my shirt, they were trying to buy who I was.

I think at that time I said to the person they owe me a drink for that insult.

They ignored that also, and then even ignored me showing them what they were actually doing.

Although I am not angry about it. I think both of those shirts are rare drops though.

Haha, :rofl: someone pulled the thunderstruck video I been posting off the internet. LOL

4. I concur

Real capitalism would be an economic system in which everyone competes on an equal playing field.

Corporatism, which we have now, requires governmental and business collusion to rig the market to favor a few big corporations.

6. Except he's just wrong this time

The banks really did lose trillions of dollars and the bail-outs were criticial.

And taxpayers have gotten the bulk of the TARP money back since that movie was made, so it's really not worth getting pissed over.
