Can you donate to my relief fund so I can get an AMD64x2 system? Im suffering with an old 1900xp, and it just doesnt cut it anymore. Ill turn this system into a linux box in your name.

smart @ss :-/

...and then there's always...mooseboy

I would say that you can do what I did when I wanted/needed a new motherboard and cpu setup: saved my money and bought one. I didn't depend upon the generousity of others.

Hmmm, if Saving worked for you, then why dont you save about $1600 and give it to me.
Jesus will love you more for doing it.:D

LOL...were you born this ornery or did you have to perfect it! Of course, I'm sure you'll take that as a compliment.:-)

Of course, I do have to add, mooseboy, that if you donated as much blood and/or money as you give off hot air...you alone could save the whole continent of Africa.:-) Wow, imagine that!

That would defeat the purpose of you doing it.

It's that whole pulling yourself up by your bootstraps thing. But then, you're a liberal and you believe things should be handed to you otherwise it might jus tbe to hard.

Yeah it was hard for me to find a way to afford my '68 Mustang, but I wanted one so I found a way. It was hard for me to afoord my first car (A 1987 CRX) but I found a way. It was damned near impossible for my to find a way to afoord college, but I found a way. In February when I took out my first car loan, I wasn't to sure how I'd afford the payments, but I found a way. I didn't bitch about how other people who help me out, or wonder why the government didn't have a program to make sure I had a way to get to work and school, I just asked my family for assistance IF I should need it. And then I just worked the amount of hours I knew it would require.

Do you feel better telling your Horatio Alger story?

You could write a book called, "I found a way; The story of how hard working liberal tax payers in Georgia payed for [I mean subsidized] MY college Tuition at a public University."

Now, I think we could work out a plan where you put $400 a month in my bank account. Pat Robertson approves of this plan, and he has god on speed dial.

Im not allowed to donate my blood, its full of "liberal" globulins that build up my immunity to horation alger boot strap stories.

The kind where people talk about how they bull dozed and paved their own roads, grew their own food without goverment loans, so they could grow big and strong, to walk down the roads they paved with money from their own pocket book.

Later, after those people grew up and saved money most likely obtained by working for private enterprises that used tax shelters, they purchased a car and filled it with fuel which was subsidized by tax payer money.

To cap it all off, those same people attended PUBLIC Universities, all so they could promulgate to others the Horation Alger myth on how they did it on their own, while never having recieved a "handout."

First off, when I started school, my school recieved less then 25% of its budget from subsidies.

Second, that amount is even lower today.

Third, "private" colleges even get subsidies these days, some much more than my school.

Fourth, I never said I had a problem with public education on the local level, I said I had a problem with it on the Federal level.

Doing it on your own, isn't a myth. No one but you can get you off your ass to do whatever it takes to get yourself what you want and get yourself where you want to be. That requires money and work from YOU. And in all honesty, subsidies probably hurt my school, which recieves the majority of its funding through alumni donations. Why? Because subsidies have mandates attached to them on how they are spent.

Also, my school started life as a military school. That is why it exists today as a public school. If you asked most people in this state (including more than one state legislator) they think my school is a private school.

What's wrong with a tax shelter, so long as it is legal? News flash mooseboy, those people who run those tax shelters for themselves, protecting their millions in assets, are the people providing the jobs so that those people who you bleed your heart for don't starve.

Now explain to me how fuel is subsidized because last time I checked, I was paying $.16 in state and federal taxes for every gallon I put in my car.

Oh btw, when did I say paving roads was not a legit gov't function? Hell, when they don't take their sweet time doing it, it is one of the few things gov't actually does pretty well!

Right now, I'd like to find $400 for my bank account so you're SOL and Pat Robertson is an idiot. How about you go get a job, and if you have one, work longer hours or get a second job, I just finished working 2 jobs for about 6 weeks. 80 hrs a week through the holidays. I'm sure you could handle it.

Im still waiting, I hope the check is in the mail.

Oh, you lost your job eh? Final pay check in the mail eh? That's a bummer.

What are you talking about? I put my hand on the TV, and Pat Robertson told me that GOD was going to do great miracles. He spoke of a check for $1600 that was in the mail.

I also except paypal.

I will echo the sentiment that Pat Robertson is a complete idiot. Furthermore, I find it completely surprising that he hasn't gotten athletes mouth or even been fitted for a *bigger* mouth with all the times he's stuck both feet in there.

Just when I think you've gotten as crazy as you are going to get, you tell me that Pat Robertson told you that you'll receive a $1600 check. I now know that there is not a limit on your psychosis.
