Then there are private messages, which (hopefully) are as private as any other password-secured site.

Don't bank on it.

You might have misread what I said. I'm saying that, insofar as private messages on this site are secured by a username/password, for that reason they're as secure as any other strictly username/password authenticated site. But I'm not suggesting that such an authentication scheme is secure (or insecure.)

Unless you're suggesting that this site is vulnerable to attacks that generic username/password authenticated sites aren't?

Well, good luck finding a place with lower taxes.

Never understood this tax nonsense. I pay as much or more taxes than most people. I look at it as the cost of doing business. I was a theater major in college, until my late 30's made my living as an artist. After that I became an entrepreneur. I really don't know of another country that allows one to so easily set up business for yourself and have as much potential income as you want, if you are ambitious.

I now have a beautiful home overlooking the hudson on a piece of land that is absolute paradise, I run my own company from my house, I make a very good 6 figure salary, and I have close to a million bucks in the bank as savings. Only in America. So, yeah, I pay my taxes at the top level and my real estate taxes are about $19k a year. But that is what it costs to have the opportunity I've had.

Rent on Madison Ave ave is always going to be higher than in the ghetto. Location, location, location.

there is nothing that prevents you from making as much money as you want and to have the life you want to lead, to change courses mid stream, without degrees, status, or family influence in America. Or as little.

But complaining about taxes is a waste of time in my opinion: I'm happy to pay my taxes, which are actually pretty low compared to the rest of the world. I gladly pay taxes for the opportunity it affords me.

In America, if you want to make more money, there is really nothing stopping you. If you think you are paying too much in taxes, why not go out and figure out a way to make more money.

You're putting us on, right?
There certainly are some industries which are much easier to enter than others, but this kind of thinking as an overall view of what it's like to be entrepreneurial in america is a joke:

except I don't profit from getting you "rich quick", (well, I do hope you join my site when it is created but other than the $20 a month. I don't sell videos, books, I don't do lectures or anything like that. )

General, you have my point exactly. What I was trying to relate was that there is nowhere in the world that I know of where someone like me could build a successful business.

Also off shore casinos do pretty darn good.

So the words "pretty sure" didn't mean anything to you did they?

So he has been the richest man in the world for the past 4 years, and is now bumped down to the second spot... and this makes my point less valid how?

Why does everyone here constantly want to play GOTCHA?
