I'd like you all to send me money so I can find out if McJ is right about this.

But then I'll never know if you're my friend or if you're using me.

Real friends send money. :zoinks:

If the article is right, he will be using you.  :M

If that's what it takes, sure. Send me money. :P

It must be an enormous burden, being wealthy.  Not knowing if you have genuine friends  or if they are just milking you.

Ever seen 'The Secret Millionaire' ?  I love that program.

Your statement assumes wealthy people give money to their friends, or their friends need their money.

Not meaning to assume anything.  Just the case with the few that I have known.

That's what they get for always picking up the tab.

Hope they weren't genuine friends. That seems offensive. People are weird about money.

Saw a program about lottery winners.  Some of them get thousands of begging letters.

This one lady had a black bag full of them.  She said she felt she had to either read them all or bin them all.  So she read them all.

Her fortune was halved.

I would hate to be in that position.

Some of these comments sadden me slightly :laugh:

Some rich people are jerks. Not because theyre rich though. If they were poor, they'd probably be jerks too.

Out of the people I'm really close to, about half are rich, and half aren't. I don't notice any of them thinking differently, because of there financial circumstances.

Let me clarify, then. If someone is a wealthy elite, and considers themselves more than most people.. if they think their opinions and ideals are worth more, because they can sling money at politics and economy... if they think for a moment that their money entitles them to dictate how other people should live and take advantage of that:

Then nothing would please me more than to feel the crunching of their battered skull under my foot. And to smash that entitlement out of their face by repeatedly stamping on it until its nothing but a puddle of gore. I -hate- those fucks.

I agree with most of that. Well, except for the bit about crushing their poor battered skull under your foot, and then stamping on it until it's a puddle of gore  :zombiefuck:
I think I'd settle for pelting them with tomatoes, and then removing their power :laugh:

The only good tyrant is a dead one. A dismembered one, burned to ashes and pissed on. I can't stand knowing people like that actually exist.
