Careful Geoff, the knives will be out! Don't you know, they don't want to hear!

Jul 09th, 2011 - 04:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#2, I think I've made clear why I reacted to Geoff the way I did in the last thread. His rather shy message #1 fell short of the racist arrogance he displayed the last time. I think he has finally gotten the message.
How to make 875 instant millionaires,
Jul 09th, 2011 - 09:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0or one very rich ex-Transport Minister:
$R17.5billion x 5% = $R875million
In the fullness of time, Forgetit, you could be one of the 875, if you carry on as you are going, with your 'three monkeys' approach to life..
How about it; are you up for a life of corruption and crime?
No prison, and three Ferraris in the garage; you just need a skin like a rhinoceros.
Sorry Geoff, but that was so lame. It's clear you're only trying to look assertive after my taunting in #4. Pull personal insults aside for a moment as you're not good at it yet. Instead, try that better than thou, indignant bourgeois act you're so talented at the next time.

Jul 10th, 2011 - 07:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0My talent, as you rightly say, is to point you to the error of your ways (and those of others), showing you the true path to righteousness and the riches that accrue from having lived life well as a true and honest person.
Give honesty a chance, you might get to like it;
but if you find you can't, at least be consistent - then you can be true to yourself, accepting with equinimity and as your rightful due, all that life throws back at you in return.
