It never stops. I still have money in an e-gold account that I will have to write off, if anything. E-Gold was an "accomplice" (internet currency) to many tutorials sold online promising to make money "while you sleep" :roll eyes:

E-gold could only be out-transferred thru 3. party vendors willing to purchase it from you by actually sending you a check or money via wire transfer.
When E-gold's accounts were frozen as a result of a raid, nobody wanted to deal with e-gold currency anymore.

I was a little vague in the setup. This guy (supposedly) pays people around the world something like 10 cents a "like." No wait, the price in the linked story is $75 for 1000 likes so that would 7.5 cents per like that he's getting. Weird stuff. People somewhere clicking "like" on a list of pages as fast as possible

I reckon you do. Do you actually have a line or 2 of your own or are you just parroting what's already out there?

Hmmmm.... this is very interesting comment considering that is made from a man who never posted anything in the open forum till about June 2010 that haven't been, copied and pasted or web linked to some BS story. Majority related to politics, Holocaust or the understanding of German languages and Germany approach to immigration
Now it would be very helpful if you actually tell us where are you from originally? You live in SoCal but you are not American, so where are you from?
I remember you attacking Pavka007 about the Scottish flag in his signature, I remember you having many arguments about languages that are NOT your mother tongue (English included). I remember you arguing about Jewish people.... however I don't remember ever reading about who you really are? I know that you came to the US from Europe, you lived in Germany (your first Merc was with plates from Munich) but you are NOT German, or French or Italian this is for sure but your name is GUIDO...so Guido, who are you? Spaniard? Portuguese? Are you even born in Europe?

I hope your know what is the street meaning of "Guido" as used in the modern English language in the US especially in the East Coast......

That's very interesting. You should have started a separate thread about this.
Your first sentence is already complete "fools talk", you should considering a revision or at least go back and reread my posts.
You on the other hand appear like a detailed observer, yet not good enough. You are incorrect or not detailed enough on practically every count.
You did mention correctly, I am on the West Coast, so the meaning of "Guido" on the East Coast is completely irrelevant to me. Does that make sense?
If you were a paisan, you would know the meaning of "Guido" in it's original sense.

I am not American? That's funny. Immigration officers usually accept my passport ID as such. I guess I have to have a word with them.

Despite your observation skills you can't draw the picture?
Tell me, why would I inadvertently disclose personal details about myself on the internet? Do I know you?

Which brings me to the last point: Do you really think my personal data is any of your business?

Btw. can you show the alleged "flag attack"?

Seems likes a legitimate trade then. Yes, there are people out there doing the clicking in exchange for compensation.

You are correct, I was wrong. My facts were not 100% correct. I just had a look at your history about threads you have started. From 214 so far since 2006, only 7 are without cut and paste.
Next topic...your car:


This is Munich registration (if this is your first car as you claimed)

Perhaps you hold US passport, however you are not born US citizen, so I am correct in my facts once again. You trying way to hard to become someone you will never be.
I know your name is Guido and perhaps I know a lot more than you think is possible. Internet is a big open space if you know how to ask the right questions.
I am paisan and I am proud of it, at least I am who I am not pretending that I am someone else like you are trying to do. Are you ashamed of who you are Guido?

Hey Padrino,

It has more to do with your perception then with my posts. If you look at it from the angle of a 16 year old, that's what you will see.

Let's have a qualified discussion. Now or never. Show what you got!

What exactly is your point?
It is common practice to post reference links to discussion topic.
Your assessment of what is an American or not is pretty bold and, I am afraid to say, rather un-American. Actually, the way you state it is rather insulting.
Your determination of what I am "trying to be" is a limp fish hush up of something you can't wrap your brain around.

Now since you claim to be 'paisan', you practically fall into the same category, or at least you may want to explain the original meaning of "Guido". In particular and in general.

You still fail to prove the alleged accusation of a 'flag attack'.

You got yourself into it, now bring it on!

I don't have anything to discuss with you. Following one of Padrino's posting I went and had a look myself on your thread history, this was enough for me to realize that any discussion with you is a waste of time. You were arguing with people back in 2006 the same way you are arguing now. If you have to prove something to someone keep doing it but stay away from me...You are not a worthy adversary... I believe I've told you this once before, now I am sure of it Guido.....
Follow the advice you were given by the Moderators and stay away.

Sorry about the derailment, cmac.

Btw, I read various articles about burglars, thieves, and other thugs, who during their intrusion logged on to FB leaving their accounts open as they made off with stolen property. How hilarious.
