Can you trust someone who has something to sell?
NEVER.
Good Point! This is a philosophical issue of ethics in any exchange: can you trust in the "value" of what you buy with money? Transactions don't always equate to fairness where value is exchanged for profits.
Remember 4th grade slumber parties when you put your sleeping friend's hand in a bowl of warm water, to see if the oceans will spill over from dreamland ?
Either way, whether or not the girl is "real" he is a total idiot.
$200k (or even $2) to a cyber-real relationships is totally stupid and unjustifiable.
....We can just insist that we thought of it first, its our idea, so you can't have it anymore. How's that working for ya?
Its funny how originality only matters if everyone copies you.
"Trade secrets" is an oxymoron: Trade and Secrecy are not mutually exclusive. Its hard to own an idea after you show everyone what it is.
Reality: What a concept!
Economics. Its all a lot more civilized than violence.
But lets stop trying to win petty economic battles in lost wars... Democracies always seem to resort to trade restrictions when confronted by another majority. Its no fun anymore when you are suddenly out numbered by your own ideology.
Human beings are prone to human nature in any and all cultural landscapes. I read that in a fortune cookie (an American custom).
Personally, I like Chinese Food, and I look forward to prosperity and success for all nationalities no matter what economic policies are negotiated, or implemented. Just make sure not to squander life or liberty if wealth belongs to someone else... Other people are people, too.
You stupid jerks, don't you get it yet? Verizon is a crime syndicate with congress in their pocket. Its time to take the airwaves back. Wake the fuck up and stop corporate thieves from continuing to steal from citizens. JUST SHUT THEM DOWN AND PUT THEM IN JAIL. Thousands have run up $800 bills in one month of normal internet usage that they were told would cost a fixed monthly fee. Fuck the fine print, and fuck you Verizon. Can you hear me now Bitch?
Wake up America, this ain't the industrial age of capitalism any more. Its all about the FINANCING of high ticket items. You may think interest fees are low, but in today's bullshit economy its the ONLY real chance that corporations can get your money after they eliminate the competition in the marketplace. GM will make you pay on the bottom line, not on the sticker, but on the clock. Wake up and smell the rip off.
Yeah, that's why this guy prefers his work be rewarded with MONEY, not credentials. Ironically, neither printing is necessarily worth more than the paper.
Rock promoters fear one thing: lawsuits. If this idiot wants to play lawsuit wars, he will not survive another season. Rock concerts like this have much bigger problems traditionally, and perhaps instead of "tapers" he'd prefer the good old days of broken glass whiskey bottles, date rape, stampedes, and under aged drinking and overdosing. This summer many died in Germany in a poorly managed crowd. The fact is that if this turkey thinks there is money to be made in lawsuits, than I say sue this idiot until he can no longer afford to obtain an insurance rider. The fact is that the current generation of parents were some of the woodstockers and Deadheads that perfected the art of concert going. But I remeber when I was promoting concerts in LA in 1980-3 that parents were not so cool, and that a cut on the foot due to broken glass at the venue was enough to swallow the profit margin of a sold out concert. Lets remind these idiots who the customer is, and what will happen to anyone who thinks that suing the customer is a good business plan. And while you're at it, this is a call to all tapers to circulate Denver and to guarantee a "Streisand Effect" on the sound boards. He'll have fun suing the entire planet while watching sales drop. We need another Bill Graham, not another Clear Channel-like corporate scum sucking maggot. Rock on, and let the music never stop.
We need to take back our dna from these corporate scum pigs. Hopefully we'll just get smart and tell them to piss off. India and China would certainly concur.
Consider the source: He works for Rupert Murdoch now, and he knows where his genetically modified bread is buttered - that is to say, with the same Vegemite yellow journalism that permeates "Fox News" and the rest of that "neo-fascist-corporate domination can do no wrong" ideology they slather on our media. I guess buying MySpace was his backup plan in case the "sheeple" misbehave and start to clone the truth incorrectly.....
Isn't that how it worked in this case? They revealed a camera, and all of the sudden they were terrorized by ignorant, arrogant, bullies pretending to "serve and protect" the public welfare of our citizens. I think its quite clear these cops are acting just like domestic terrorists - and paid for with our tax dollars! Who is in charge of our country anyway? Citizens or government bankrolled thugs without a clue?
...You can always rely on the same consistent results when you expect these people to tell you what to think. And if you think there is someone else better equipped to accurately predict the future, then it won't matter who you ask. Its bad enough to have a great deal of faith in one's own self interest and greed, but its retarded to expect your satisfaction from their appetite. Human nature is the only thing thats broken here. Now try to enjoy the rest of World Cup and World Economy without gambling on winners while acting like losers.

...Or just act really cool locally, totally incognito - a future so byte you gotta wear shades..
....they went to extremities with the appendages . Give 'em a hand for getting a leg up !

HAL:...I can sing
Dave Bowman: Yes, I'd like to hear it, HAL. Sing it for me.
HAL: It's called "Daisy."
"Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I'm half crazy all for the love of you......"

...In which case she'd actually be 12.
NOT Hooky Hunters!! ....it was a typo, a complete error in well established corporate hiring policy.

In China, only 15% of everyone is famous for 18 minutes.
