"Gravedigga"Hell, I bet 90% of them wouldn't pay 500 dollars to spare my life if the situation arose somehow.
I wish it didn't happen, it sucks, but it doesn't effect me in any way emotionally past that.


You think that only 10% would drop the 500 to spare your life? That's a disgusting display of exaggeration my friend.
Heck, look at what Charles Woodson just donated or consider what Barry Sanders did with 15% of his paychecks.
Each NFL player makes over 400k a year ... there's no way even a rookie would knowingly withhold $500 dollars causing the death of someone.


If it was a debt to the mob, maybe.
If it was a debt to a special clinic, no chance.


I split this post out because it really bothered me, specifically the perception. A lot of these guys are very nice and don't want to be taken advantage of. If they were confronted with the scenario "hey this guy is going to die unless we get 500 bucks for this treatment, can you help?" I just don't see any of them saying 'No'.

I must have missed the original. It's kind of hard to figure out when it's taken out of text.
But i figure it must be something about a star being fleeced, and didn't pay for something.
If thats what it is, you can bet there ARE vultures out there that will take advantage of someone with alot of money. And thats sad, as it DOES prevent some from helping others because they have been burned before.
