(135,425 posts)What the hell are you talking about with the two hundred bucks? Do you realize how stupid and childish you sound? What makes you think that "CASH" makes you "right?"
I don't HAVE a spare two hundred bucks to throw around. If I did, I sure as heck wouldn't waste it gambling, even on a sure bet.
I drive a 1986 subcompact and I am very frugal. I support a LOT of people. So why in hell would I, to satisfy your sorry little macho fantasy, take money that could buy groceries for this one, or gasoline for that one, or even pay a cable bill, a vet bill, or a property tax obligation, and use it to place a DUMBASS bet just to make you feel like an internet tough guy with a big fat...wallet?
Are you completely out of touch with reality, that you think you can solve disputes by boasting about how much money you have to waste? Courage of convictions? What HOOEY! What does spending money like a moron have to do with courage?
Talk about "playing games." Look at MEEEEEEE!!! I'm TOUGH!!! I toss THROWDOWN BOASTS!!! I bet you TWO HUNDRED BUCKS!!!!! Two HUNDRED!!!! Do you hear me?? Put up or shut up!!! MONEY!!! TWO HUNDRED!! WAAAAH!!!! MONEY MAKES MEEEEE BETTER!!!!!!
What else can I say, but....
I mean ... really.
You need to do a little growing up--this entire exchange has NOT been your finest hour. I'm not intimidated by your posturing, and I think you are making an ass of yourself. So no--you don't get to try to BUY your way out of an argument. YOU either put up some facts, or shut up--how do you like them apples, Tough Guy?
Money isn't a substitute for discussing issues. Spending money foolishly doesn't impress anyone but a foolish person. But hey, knock yourself out--you win the Internet Tough Guy of the Month Award!!
