  - and this says "half full will stay frozen for one day" and "full can stay frozen for up to two days" - if you don't open it. -- (link) - Andie Jun 26, 14:26 1
    - hmmmm, this makes me feel better. I have not opened it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 14:29

  - "you know that nice car you drive? that nice house you have? all those shiny rings?" - groiny Jun 26, 14:18 6

      - they don't call it the red veil for nuthin'...nm - x Jun 26, 14:30
      - they should. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 26, 14:20 3

  - I disagree. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 26, 14:16 12
    - anyone who kills anyone is risking throwing their life away. being rich doesn't make it more stupid. -- nm - Andie Jun 26, 14:18 11
      - most people who kill someone, likely do not have 30 million in the bank. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 26, 14:19 10
        
        but so what? they have kids, family, lives. -- nm - Andie Jun 26, 14:20 9
        
        when you are worth that kind of money, you should not associate with someone - groiny Jun 26, 14:25 8
        
        unfortunately, receiving money doesn't instantly make you smarter or give you common sense. not that those always matter - plenty of smart people do - b. Jun 26, 14:27 7
        
        but you see, in the NFL, they have meetings with these guys, about associating with the right people. - groiny Jun 26, 14:29 6
        
        they are twentysomething millionaires who have never been told no their entire lives. a lot of 'em aint never listening...nm - x Jun 26, 14:35 2
        
        I know, but like I said, it is not like he did not know better. - groiny Jun 26, 14:43 1

        yeah, but what do a bunch of suits know? -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 14:31
        
        and still a lot of the players associate with the wrong people. -- nm - charlie Jun 26, 14:30 1
        
        yes. not so smart, think they'll be different/that they can handle it, etc. look at how many players lose all their money, for another example. - b. Jun 26, 14:37
- I think the guy tried to steal his gum - how else would someone address that?! -- nm - b. Jun 26, 14:15 1
