Put your money where your mouth is. How much you want to bet?

Pal....I could 100% absolutely embarass you tonight.

But I swore to myself I'd never be "that guy".....so you're welcome to keep up the charade, Doc!

A materialistic person can buy happiness..

But you can't buy love..well maybe fake love.

You are all talk Dude. You couldn't embarrass anyone. The only one you are embarrassing is yourself, posting yahoo articles on how to be rich. If you are a man of any honor or dignity, you would bet me that I am not a Dr. You would win the bet easy.

We can have Bill Dozer officiate it. I will send him whatever info you want to verify it. Let's say, $5000.00? How ever much you want. More is fine too. Call my bluff if you are a man.

[ChalkyDog]

But that defeats your theory. Or are they SO stupid that they don't know that happy is better than sad and self-destructive?

I am saying they're too stupid to be allowed the luxury of drugs.

Money bought them the drugs, their handling of the drugs is what undid them - not the money.

Please. Bill Dozer works for me.

You win, dic. I mean, doc.

I am not a man. I am poor and uneducated. You are smart & rich.

Now please run along. Thanks!

Smart yes, rich no.

Just goes to show, you are not a man of any integrity to take my bet. Either you're scared it is true or you are too broke and can't even come up with a measly $5000. Either way, I learned what i needed to learn about you.

Conclusion: Loser who posts on SBR 24/7 who wishes he was someone important and/or rich.

Bill works for Opie?

Hilarious thread.

Are not you the same loser who dropped out of high school and works 1-2 days a week selling diamonds and makes $1 million dollars a year?

[ChalkyDog]

Gold digging love ain't real love, Chalky...

I am too simple in this regard to start labeling different kinds of love.

My love was found in undergrad - when I was living the high life. (comparatively to other students at a state school) That said, this chick supported my habits while I was a broke dikk fukk in lawschool.

Holy shit, 10,017 posts in 8.5 months....what a gigantic loser.

Sounds like a baller, not a loser!

Anyone who has that many posts is a loser. Period.

He dropped out of high school and is broke and sits in front of the computer posting on SBR telling very tall tales about his life. Very poor example of a life. The guy does not have a dime to his name.

I don't think you understand substance abuse. It doesn't happen because you're happy.

Who is the guy on SBR who sells the diamonds?

I've never been sad abusing substance. The crash/comedown is rather depressing though.

You do realize that there's a difference between recreational use and dependency. Right?

How many times have you done black? White? Ice?

[ChalkyDog]

You do realize that there's a difference between recreational use and dependency. Right?

Depends on the drugs. But yes. Had a bout with dependency myself - not for the faint of heart. Also the reason I say some people don't deserve drugs.

If you blame drugs - you don't deserve drugs. If you can't take drugs responsibly - you don't deserve drugs. (yes I understand the oxymoronic logic there).

Great article..

One of my favorite quotes

Anybody who tells you money is the root of all evil doesn't fuckin' have any. They say money can't buy happiness? Look at the fuckin' smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby.

Do you not comprehend the underlying reasons for substance abuse? Apparently not.

Once again, it's not because that person is happy. They are constantly escaping reality for a reason.

That's a square take on it. Drugs are fun. I do/did them for fun. Stop pretending people who take drugs are a bunch of miserable assholes taking the substance simply to escape their shitty lives.

As a matter of fact, to this day, I find soberness to be rather dull.

Square? LOL. You can ask quite a few people here how much experience I have with drugs. I have seen the effects of substance abuse on people first hand - many times.

You find SOBRIETY (i.e. reality) dull. But you're happy with life. Uh huh. LOL.

I'll tell you something that people coming down from an all-nighter of blowing lines don't ever talk about... How awesome their lives are.

[JohnGalt2341]

Thanks for the article Opie. I agree with most of it. My favorites were #3, #12, and #15. Have you ever read the book Atlas Shrugged btw? I think you might like it. Many of the arguments seem like they came directly from that book.. especially the first two.

I'd like to add #22... although this has more to do with being successful than being rich.
#22 An average person Dreams it and Believes it... A successful person Dreams it and Believes it and Works Hard at it.

[ChalkyDog]

I'll tell you something that people coming down from an all-nighter of blowing lines don't ever talk about... How awesome their lives are.

Because they've been talking and feeling how great their lives are all night.

Don't hate/fear drugs for the comedown.

[JohnGalt2341]

To expand on point #1:

[MonkeyF0cker]

Because they've been talking and feeling how great their lives are all night.

Uhh. No. If you've ever done cocaine for an extended period of time, you'd know how antisocial the drug actually is.

My friends would call you a rookie.

[Cheme82]

Buddy, I got a doctorate - but nobody calls me doctor. I think it is prejudice against the profession.

As a result, unless you are a medical Dr. I will never call you doctor.

It is one of my goals to get a doctorate. Anybody with one of those degrees gets respect fom me because I know how hard you need to work to get one. As a result I call everyone that has one "Dr. Whatever" I really don't care if people call me one or not when I get it, but I like to show my appreciation of the hard work that the person has put in.

Monkey is right on this one, yeyo is a bitch. The sooner you can find happiness without this shit, or any other drug for that matter, the better.

[Goat Milk]

OP just how many shares of SBR do you own? If you're not a holder, please shut the fukk up. Thanks.

Monkey owns this thread now.

OP learn a thing or two from Monkey. This is how you captivate an audience with a post. Guy writes 1 line and it's more interesting than your 7 paragraph essays.

[ChalkyDog]

You focus too much on the depraved result, and completely ignore that coke is one of the best social drugs currently available. Any club in any town has someone in there on a weekend with teener or more. Not to mention the benefits of women that come along with it.
