    He spent 300 on his wife and was already wealthy... I spent 30 on my girl and work 10 hours a week as a tutor.

    Don't see a problem here.

    What to you is a fair share?

    If 10 people went to dinner and everyone ordered the same thing. The bill comes out to say $1000 to make it easy. Should the richest guy have to pick up the chunk of the check. He didn't order an extra lobster, or dessert, he had what you had.

    Just because he has more money, he should pay more? That just doesn't make sense to me. Does a rich person use more services than a poorer person? Wouldn't it be the opposite?

    This is not the real argument. You're trying to compare it with a seafood dinner. It's not going to work.

    Also, BigTexx, do the world a favor and never post again, unless it's an apology for being idiotic.

    What about a link, tennis shoes? Clutch requires links for quotes posted on the BBS. It ain't Rockets science. Bad enough that the quote was bad enough.

    The OP is the same guy who bragged about his very expensive sushi dinner with Lin's fellow countrymen last week.

    Pretty much.

    You don't seem to understand that the refusal to pay the bet isn't about the money. The reason I am not paying it right now is because I don't have the money. The reason I am not paying it at all is because I told jo that if he didn't stfu about it I wasn't paying. I keep my word 50% of the time.

    What? How doesn't it work?

    Why should the rich pay for the poor? Why doesn't the government come up with plans to help the poor get jobs, rather than give them welfare and other assistance that can be abused by the lazy.

    Like the President really pays for food. The $300 was tip money.

    Do us all a favor and top waffling and just welch on the bet already so we can have confirmation and closure about you being a punk. Everyone's tired of hearing about it.

    You're right now the bet is about lying to members of the board -- you have the money and refuse to honor the bet.

    I don't know whether it's going to be fun or just pathetic watching texxx and his kind lose their collective minds over the next 9 months while the president crushes any opposition he will face.

    If the last couple of days and threads are any indication, texxx is going to need some serious therapy come November

    oh well

    Oh I do have the money? Thank God. I could have sworn my bank account said I only had 14 bucks yesterday.

    I lied to these beautiful random strangers??? Will they ever forgive me, I doubt it. Durn.

    It's funny how people keep telling me to stfu until I pay the bet, or tell me to stop derailing the thread. I will respond to anyone who has anything to say to me. If you don't like my response, tell them to stop talking to me. I am not the one freaking out over a $50 bet. I am the one standing my ground and saying F U you were a douche about the bet after I was incredible open about the entire thing. In the face of hardships I will not throw $50 away to honor a bet with a guy who was such an ass when I tried to explain to him that I had no money and no job and would have to pay in the future.

    I will explain this as many times as necessary.

    Donny you tell me to stfu about it, I am not the one who brought it up in this thread. So I won't stfu about it. Whatcha gon do?

    Josh, not sure what thunder clutching is, but it sounds sexual and enticing. Want to meet up behind the Jack in the Box on Westheimer?

    Actually you are freaking out about the bet and we're enjoying the meltdown.

    This thread sucks.

    While I would probably never spend 300 bucks on a dinner(unless I was somehow a millionaire), There is nothing wrong with someone spending their own money for a nice, romantic dinner on Valentine's Day?

    I would imagine bigtexxx has spent 300 dollars on a dinner before...


    This thread reminds me of why I tend to stay out of the D&D. I prefer to read my news objectively and not be dizzied by the spins that are put on things...
