This thread is timely. A friend recently hit me up for cash because he was two months behind on rent and his internet was about to get turned off. No car, no job and not a penny in the bank.

He hadn’t worked in several months and hadn’t even been looking for work. Yet he still managed to find the money to go out and eat and go out for drinks.

I ‘loaned’ him almost $500 last year to help him pay for a DUI lawyer–with the full expectation that I wouldn’t ever see a penny of it again.

This time I just couldn’t do it. He needed several large to get current on his rent and even though I could afford to lend him some money I knew I’d never see it again and I wasn’t ok with that this time. I also thought that he needed to learn a lesson in personal responsibility and money management (he’s 50 YO fer chrissakes).

He doesn’t talk to me much since then…oh well. I prefer to surround myself with non fuck ups anyways.

[quote=briansd1]Bristol Palin is now getting $15,000 to $30,000 to talk about abstinence.

She should be promoting birth control. Obviously she wasn’t able to abstain.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_people_bristol_palin%5B/quote%5D

So, according to your perspective, former (reformed) drug users are inappropriate role models to discuss the dangers of drugs to kids?

I’d argue that the MOST appropriate person to discuss abstinence is someone like Bristol; “see, this is what can happen if you are sexually active EVEN WITH birth control–which is not 100% effective”

Hey, I could generally give a crap what people spend their money on….

However, when those same people that are paying $1-2k for a car payment suddenly claim they can’t afford health insurance and want me to pay higher taxes so that the government can provide it for them…that’s when I have a problem.

Many of these same people run up their credit cards spending money they don’t have and then want the government to reign in the CC companies and let them out of their debt and give them a bailout. BS!!!

I’ve been registering mine through Hostway:

Home

It’s about $15 for two years. You’ll also need to have a web host to host your application. Hostway can do it or you can move your domain to another web host when you have it set up.
