that $50 in lotto tickets isn;t "all she's got" it's $50 out of the mouths of herself and her children. Lotteries are a tax on the poor.

Given that the Spanish are hurting so badly, why in the name of seven hells did they elect that arch-conservative asshole who is going to make even deeper cuts? Why, well, because they really had no choice. They were forced to choose between 2 candidates both controlled by the same masters, namely the big banks.

Just like, here in the USA, we will be forced to do the same next November, choose between Tweedledum and Tweedledumber, knowing they're both thieves and liars.

If they are so piss poor, then how can they afford to pay footballers around +100,000 Euros a week?

[Eball06]

@WangDugay Well, that's a dumb question... Since when did governments start paying footballers.?

[WangDugay]

@Eball06 who are the main underwriters for all the loans Real Madrid takes to pay its palyers? Govt. duh!

[darrencornell1]

@WangDugay here in spain football is a religon, and the 2 biggest teams real madrid & barçalona are fabulasly wealthy, that is why they can afford 2 buy just 1 player ronaldo for $120m for example

When the lotto and other gambling is designed to take money from you...you know what? Forget it! They're completely and utterly asinine. Do what the rest of the sheep are doing, that'll get you somewhere!

[Redfingers]

Lotteries are pathetic.

This pathetic woman is wasting money that should be used caring for her children gambling all her money away. It's horrid.
