Y'know, we could get one of them on our side. If we know the wagers we could make a fortune! Hmmm . . . how to go about turning one of them . . . ? *off to find Trops*

Would I be the one that you would turn, or the one who knows how to turn someone against his friends for financial gain?

I figured you would turn on your friends for financial gain...but that's just me :D

Don't take it in a bad way, it was actually a little bit of a compliment...

I'm so proud of you, I didn't honestly think you had it in you...

I was going to turn you, Trops. You're cool like that. But, if you're not up for it . . .

Sorry to burst your image of me, but I just don't have any real respect for money. It's one of my flaws. I have enough so the idea of getting more then that just isn't all that appealing.

I do value friends, though, and for them I'd do just about anything. Also, when it comes to evil plans, I have a lot of those.

:reddevil:

I wasn't coming to you for money making. I wanted to utilize your evil ways. Duh. :p

Yeah, I know. I'm just saying that money isn't a motivator for me. There are much better things in life that get me motivated. Can you think of any?

And I take it as a complement that you like my evil ways.

Well now that just makes me feel like a materialistic pig...
not too far from the truth though. :D

I respect money- lived far too long with hardly any of it.

I have a friend who owns his own hedge fund. He's a multimillionaire. He came from nothing. No family from the time he was 12. Put himself through college and grad school. Now he owns a house on the ocean and makes more money then I can really comprehend. He hasn't taken a day off, that the market was open, in over ten years. He lives with his wife and twin sons, but hardly see them, even though he works from home. It's like a self imposed prison. I keep thinking how sad it is for him. I think he's the richest and saddest person I know. I think he was truly happier when he was living on the streets. Maybe that's why I don't respect money much.

The last thing i want to do is turn this into some sort of philosophical debate with you Trops.
I respect money very much. I grew up poor and lived poor for a while after i was married. only through some luck and sacrifice were we able to pull ourselves up to respectability. I am not consumed by it but do value and respect it.
 
Never mind, Carry on.
