Question?? Why Do Posters Loan Money To Other Posters??

PatrickMcIrish · Aug 6, 2003

I only loan money when I want to end a relationship with a pest, LOL. I gave a couple of bucks to the biggest laydown in town. I KNEW he wouldn't pay me back but he avoids me like the plague now. Makes it nice to walk through town and all the stiffs run to the other side of the street.

Can't put a price on peace of mind.

Ive been stiffed by many via classified information, which is much more valuable than monetary IMO. Im yet to be compensated by many. With the leads black lab was giving free last year, he should have been compensated. Lots of cheap people and lots of greedy people out there.

Nothing wrong with helping a friend out,any time I give a friend money I consider it a gift(don't expect to be repaid), if they do then consider it a gift in return. Obviously I wouldn't loan an amount that would hurt me financially.Give money to a poster I don't know?now isn't there an obvious answer to that, my 5 year old wouldn't give a toy to a stranger,I would hope posters would know better, but thanks for pointing out the obvious JJ.

You've probably all heard this before, but here goes:

A bunch of guys are playing cards in some Vegas casino when a guy rushes up to the table asking to borrow money. They all recognise him because he's always in there losing money, but this time he is really begging.

"Please guys, my wife has just been hit by a car and I don't have any insurance. Please can someone just lend me a hundred bucks for an ambulance."

The players have heard it all before, so they just carry on playing, but the guy won't give up:

"Please believe me, she's bleeding to death and I just need to borrow $100 to get her to a hospital."

Finally one of the other guys pipes up:

"If we lend you the money, how do we know you're not just going to gamble it away like you usually do?"

"Don't worry about that", replies the guy, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a wad of hundred dollar bills, "I've got my gambling money here!"

Sorry...
