For my two cents on the subject which Burgo is broaching, I've always been fascinated by the complaint of joe schmoe that says celebrities/athletes/etc. make too much money. What they never say is how much money they are supposed to make. If they are over-compensated, then what exactly would be appropriate compensation? They never say.


Or even better, make the statement while standing there in a Carolina Panthers (or whatever) jersey.

People like to complain about anyone that makes more money than them...no matter what the job or the reason.  It's the offspring of the "have vs have-not" culture we have created.  Thanks, Karl!

Without trying to hijack the thread, ulthar, I will simply say, agreed.
I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

Good to have you back ~ please send me your old one: it might work better than the POS I have at home now.  :buggedout: :wink:

Trust me-the only thing it's good for now is a doorstop.

This has slowly become a sports thread. We've gone off the bowl and started with baseball, hockey, etc.

Me, I just follow the 'big 4' of the US: Football, Hockey, Baseball and Basketball.

Beyond that, I follow the stuff of the X Games: Skateboarding, blading, bmx, etc.

Don't know much in way of NASCAR, soccer, etc.
