Thread: Orietx - cash gifting is theft, folks

The way PCH sweepstakes work is you have to enter them first. If you have not entered, it's not honest for you to claim the prize. Next.

That could be a valid argument, if what they do within their own circle remains relatively harmless. Ratting to authorities is a two edged sword. It can protect vulnerable people in a community where crime is a growth industry ie cyberspace.

I remember the post war era in UK when bread and potatoes were rationed. Mushrooms on toast was a luxury breakfast or supper. Consenting adults would eat what they caled "feel good mushrooms" with no ill effects. A lot of farmers did not mind their German POWs stewing them up to go with their meagre bread ration.

I was only ten years old but I knew the difference between "magic mushrooms" and the deadly "death cap" mushrooms. Both varieties grow in profusion in some parts the of UK, especially in a wet November. I helped rat on people picking mushrooms. They grow where tourists gather in large numbers like International rugby matches and the Police are very vigilant if anybody reports having seen a "death cap" mushroom where there are large crowds like Twickenham stadium.

Yes, that's my point. Unlike a lot of other things, with cash gifting you know exactly whom it is you are handing cash over. It's not faceless, like HYIPs, etc.

I said that gifting appeared relatively harmless Finix. If you read my post again and tell me that you would accept a gift of rare mushrooms with a Fortnum and Mason sticker on the packet from all these people, whom you know so well, you will have to learn how to identify the "Death Cap" genre. I can't be bothered to argue about this any more so bye for now.

Good heavens, people. This isn't mushrooms, this is damn cash. Get off your lazy asses and make more cash if you ended up giving it to wrong people. You'll waste more time bitching about your money walking than it takes time to replace it with your work!

You are truly delusional if you think you "know" who are giving your cash to in a cash gifting scheme. You only think you do. When you have the people running it, along with all their relatives and friends, in the top 100 positions, is why less than 10% of all people who participate in a cash gifting scheme receive any money. Everyone else loses.

But let's follow this contorted logic a little further. I guess that means since everyone "knows" each other in the buying and selling of drugs then it should be legal. Or since everyone knows who are the "johns" and the "hoes' in prostitution it should be legal. Same difference.

But to say that everyone knows who they are dealing with in a cash gifting scheme is laughable and a lie. You only "THINK" you know who you are dealing with.

It's not the same thing. Legalizing drugs would be dangerous without having licensed doctors dispense those for safety reason. Cash in and of itself is a pretty harmless substance that doesn't cause health issues, like sudden death from O.D.ing.
