[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5510917, member: 19675"] There ARE people in the world like this. One pair I think of to this day were Miami Hurricane football linemen, both slated to be drafted into the NFL with high draft picks- probable first-rounders, both of them. That translates into $1m signing bonuses [I]at a minimum.[/I] The month before the draft, the two of them were caught burglarizing a camera & video equipment store. They didn't get drafted, and went to prison. I know one of the most powerful and feared attorneys in Texas- he wouldn't let his own partnership's tax experts handle his stuff, preferring to do it himself...until he found out he'd been paying more in taxes than Bill Gates. There is video of a cop doing a gun safety demo in a classroom- I beleive it was in Atlanta- using live rounds. The dummy shot himself in the foot. What if he'd accidentally discharged it in a different direction? What if he had been on the second floor? People make poor decisions- how many they make and how serious they are is part of what defines them. It's very metagamey to me. [/QUOTE]
