I propose than Nemt has had a lot of good, well-paying jobs. My question is, where was during 'nam? Cut down on the stupid personal attacks, people. This thread started with a lame joke, followed by immature personal attacks. Let it die.

hmm,  sounds good to me

yeah, nemt had his own lemonade stand every summer since he was 7 to get that car... lemonade stand boom in the summer because its hot...

Actually, that's funny. With the help of his dad's investing skills, my friend did almost that. HE saved all his lemonade stand, grass cutting, birthdays, christmas, and allowance money, etc... since he was old enough to do those things, and his dad invested it for him. When he was 16, he bought himself a brand new Z28 Camaro (His favorite car, I have no idea why), but anyways, he proves the point, you don't have to be rich to save money. His mom is a secretary and his dad is a welder. Please, convince me they are rich...

THough we agree on very little, I definitely agree with you here.

Let it die, does sound good to me also.

Well if we all agree that 1 dollar doesn't make you rich, and receiving another dollar doesnt make you rich, then theoretically nobody can be rich.

Just thought I'd work a paradox in there.

Sorry I don't buy that.  If he saved all this cash which somehow would amazingly sum up enough to buy this car (sorry I'm not into cars so I don't know the exact price), how did he entertain himself throughout those inbetween years?  I can't picture a kid going throughout life with friends with other 'toys' he'd probably have wanted but said "no no, when I turn 16 OOOOH it'll be sweet!"

You're right, I'm wrong. I lose. I am a liar. End of discussion from my end.

I agree, although I perfer the term marxist to communist as Stalin as given communism a bad name.

By the way, I am well aware that you were being sarcastic.

Hey man, I TOTALLY agree with you on that. Stalin and Kim Il-Jung have given communism a bad name, so I also prefer to say I'm a marxist. Not to use as a cover up, but Stalin's communism was not real communism by ANY means.
