Honestly? This reminds me of Russian Roulette. You put a single bullet into the revolver of a six-shooter, spin it and take your chances that the bullet you are gonna fire is real or one of the five empty chambers. The more I read about these things the more I just wonder why people want to get involved in them. Is it the thrill of the possibility of getting something for nothing or just laziness? Gary Simpson

Hello, I have tried very hard to stay out of this conversation but I could resist no more. I would just like make a couple of points: 1) The money you earn from these programs is based upon other people signing up usually under you or someone else. The fact that thiese schemes rely on paying out based upon people paying in makes them fall into the illegal ponzi scheme. 2) You said I am playing with their money and pull your investment back out and use their money. Now in response to that, A few years ago I used to be somewhat of a Blackjack player and I used to frequent a couple of the local casinos. I had a way of playing in that I had what I called my stake, let's call it $1,000 for sake of this discussion. I sat down at the table and I would either play 3 or 7 seats depending on my mood. Once I won any money, and I won fairly consistantly, that was no longer the casino's money, it was now mine. Just as in this case, you are playing with your money not theirs. Even after you pull your investment back, it is still your money, it was given to you. (I say given as I do not see it as being earned) Whethr it was given through an ethical and legal manner isn't the point I want to make,I only want to say you are never playing wih their money but you are always playing with your money, the idea I think is to earn, correct? Once earned why would you still consider it theirs?

Hi Peter, I felt like you. I had to enter the fray. You said: ============================================================================== "Now in response to that, A few years ago I used to be somewhat of a Blackjack player and I used to frequent a couple of the local casinos..." ============================================================================== Great analogy! But at least at the casino you have the benefit of watching what is going on. How does anybody (except the "promoters") know what is going on behind the scenes of all these schemes? Somebody is making money. But who? Ever seen a casino that is not grandiose and opulent? Even the cost of electricity to run all the neons would be exorbitant. Where does everybody think that financial ability comes from? Hint: It's got to do with the ratio of winners and losers. Gary Simpson

Linda and Peter, I have really never looked at it like that before. I never really paid attention to where the money comes from. hmmmmmmmmmmm. I can't use them to advertise. They may be illegal! Maybe I should just get out while I am ahead! Hey! Then I would have more time to promote my real websites! You may be on to something here.

Hi Gary, You see those reallllllllly long lines of ========= you are making. Please stop, it gets really frustrating when it makes the screen a lot more wider than it needs to be be. Perhaps limit them to 10 or 12 and not 78 of them, sheesh.
