I'm on $60,000 (well a bit more than that if you don't count side benefits and cash jobs) and would be happy to accept your offer Miss Chicken. With luck this will be the beginning of my 2012 Legends Dinner fund.
Disappointed by my facebook 'friends'

Stay classy, Nick.
I am wondering if I should tempt fate and start a thread asking you guys for money.
Did you seriously expect people to take you up on that? One side of the political spectrum wouldn't want to take money from a person living on a disability pension, and the other side would find it ironic that you were offering taxpayer funded money to complain about people who were complaining about paying more in taxes. The rest would probably just think it was some kind of joke or scam and not worth it for only $25.
Just from the title I was gonna say, FB "friends" aren't really friends, y'know? They're just names & pics, usually not bad people.
But then I read the whole thing and had a similar response: "it's a joke, right?"
Most of the time, you can't and shouldn't rely on actual friends for money, even if it's for something that is actually important.

Once I made the offer most of the people stopped moaning about how they couldn't afford to pay $25 spread over a 52 week period.
I can only offer you $25 when the levy starts which will be on July 1st.
To get it you have to go to the Stop the Levy Page on Facebook and find the thread that I offered it in. Or else you can start a thread saying that you cannot afford the levy and I will come in a publicly offer to pay it for you.
I might find that page and pay out on the morons who claim to be not able to pay the $25 .. no way will I ask you to pay it for me. My mother would be mortified if I did that, and rightfully so.
Please do.
Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but my facebook friends are not just names and pics, they're actual people I have met in person and know as acquaintances (with the exception of a handful of board members, who still aren't just names and pics).
But the overwhelming majority are just acquaintances, not friends. That can't be questioned.
I only have 29 Facebook friends and only two of them I don't know in real life. Of those two one is a distant relative who is researching the same family tree as me, and the other is Bob Lecheval (he is a hobby horse).
Seconded.
Everybody I've befriended on FB I've at least seen in real life, if not really conversed with. Except for Subcommander R., who I've friended on FB too.
See, I think you guys must be bucking the trend. I see some of these people with hundreds or thousands of "friends" and wonder if they know any of them.
They are probably only befriending many of those people because they need neighbours in games such as Farmville, Mafia Wars, Social City etc
I don't play any FB games and I don't befriend random people.
That is one reason. The other would be a common love of amongst other things a football team. Every day I get a couple of new Collingwood randoms wanting to befriend me.
I play some games but not the sort of games you need a lot of friends to play.
I have managed to get to level 77 of Bushwhacker without having one single friend playing it.
I've added around 80 people from games on facebook, but quit playing many of those games. Over the last month, have at least 75% of them. Now, I've met at least 120 of my friends on facebook. Many of those I know from here or I know on facebook for a few years now.
I want....no NEED to belong!
Do I actually have to give you my possessions or can I just sell them and give you a check?
