Well, to be completely honest, Asian cultures _do_ value money rather highly, but not in the obsessive “crush-every-motherfucker-to-grab-a-penny-out-of-the-gutter” way that was implied above. I find that it does get annoying sometimes.

Nah, she doesn’t remind me of Palin. She reminds me of Captain Ed, unlamented former poster. I wonder if they know each other? I bet that would be a great match.

I didn’t see anywhere where \*\*Dio \*\*said or implied “…but I don’t do this sort of thing” so I’m not getting the humor.

Ugh, you made me stand up for Diogenes, now I feel dirty.

The number one reason cited for divorces in the US is money. _Everyone_ values money highly.

I’d say Asian cultures value postgraduate education and “professional” careers more highly; we’re all supposed to go off and become doctors and lawyers and engineers and accountants and so on.

She’s impervious to logic, and she rarely (if ever) answers questions that are follow-ups to he inane irrational posts.
